Very spacious and clean. Great for a quiet respite. The elevator came in handy when moving luggage. A must visit is the Indian Pass Raw Bar- a mile down the road. Also biked the Loggerhead Path which begins at Salinas Park and runs to Joseph Peninsula State Park. One of the better AirBnb's we've stayed. Highly recommend.- Reviewed On: 5/2/2026

The Happy Dolphin was a fantastic place to stay. Spacious, clean, comfy beds, beautiful ocean views, with the beach about a 5 min walk away. We loved the peaceful, quiet vibe of the neighborhood and surrounding area… lots of great restaurants, shops & other beaches just a few minutes away. Perfect spring break location.
We had a couple of questions during our stay that were quickly answered by Pristine Properties. Highly recommend… we hope to come back again!- Reviewed On: 4/10/2026

Loved our stay in Port St. Joe! The house was beautiful, super clean, and in a great spot—easy walk to the beach. I did rent a cart from a local company to carry my beach supplies. They delivered and picked up the cart that made it even easier. We had a girls trip and having the 3 bathrooms was extra nice. There’s an empty lot in front of the house so it felt like a beach front house.
I would definitely stay here again and I hope to return next year!!- Reviewed On: 4/12/2025
