We had a wonderful time staying here. We are a family with two kids (8 and 10) and we like low-key, unpretentious, uncrowded beach experiences. We absolutely LOVED being in a neighborhood. No high rises or big roads to cross to get to the beach, everyone was so friendly. The bungalow had everything we needed. The front living room was great and so helpful for managing all of our beach gear. I accidentally locked us out one evening we went out for a walk and Tammy had us back in almost instantly.
We really liked that the second bedroom had two twin beds. Our kids frequently end up sharing a double bed when we travel, which is fine, but they slept a lot better with the two twins. Being able to walk a couple of blocks to the beach and swim and play was just perfect.
We came on the heels of Tropical Storm Claudette and the seas were a bit rough the first couple of days but we discovered St. Joseph Bay just down the road at the state park, which was always calm and manageable no matter what was going on on the Gulf. And the bay actually ended up being our kids' favorite spot. We paddle-boarded and our kids had so much fun snorkeling. They saw rays and urchins and hermit crabs. We couldn't get them to leave the water.
It was a great house - and great value and the location was perfect for us. We would highly recommend it.
