Sammy's Old Place

This is our third time staying at Sammy’s. It is in a terrific location & perfect for our multigenerational family (ages 3-96). While the proper is aging & we did have several issues, the management company was very responsive in trying to resolve them in a timely manner. We would definitely consider a fourth stay next year if a few issues have been resolved by then.

We had a wonderful time! Sammy's Old Place was a perfect house for our group, and the elevator made it very easy to get groceries and luggage up to the multiple levels. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious ... our only complaint would be small pantry space, but we definitely made do! We loved playing games at the kitchen table in the evenings! Pristine Properties was very attentive quick to respond with any questions or requests. It is a beautiful house, and we would definitely stay here again!

The home was beautiful with views of the beach and an easy walk to the beach.
The master suite on main level was quite uncomfortable and could use a nice mattress topper or new mattress.
Overall a great place and the elevator really helped with loading and unloading all our belongings.

We had a fantastic time staying at Sammy’s Old Place! It’s right on a local beach with amazing views, incredible restaurants, and privacy! The house was wonderful and well maintained, with everything we needed for our week of fun! The elevator was an added bonus. That made getting it the third floor a breeze after relaxing in the sun all day. Anytime I had a need and called the Pristine office, they were quick to help. Will definitely be going back!

Huge house with plenty of room for big family or lots of friends. Elevator made it super convenient bring stuff in and up to the 3rd floor where the kitchen is located.
Super easy access to beach.

This is our second stay at Sammy’s Place. It is the perfect spot for our 4 generational family. The elevator is a real bonus for loading & unloading all our vacation stuff & for our 94 year old grandmother. The proximity to the beach, local towns & restaurants is perfect. The kitchen is so well equipped that we had everything we needed to cook in two nights & fix breakfasts. The screened in upper porch is the perfect spot to start & end the day. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The house has a lot of room for families and 2 separate living areas was nice for those in our group that had to work remotely. The area is quiet and the walk to the beach was short. Rental company is very responsive and great to work with. One of the highlights for us is the pair of eagles that have a nest close to the house. We saw them everyday from the kitchen window. Cat5 Restaurant was a great find that is a 8 min drive away. Port St. Joe is 15 min away - Hungry Howie's Pizza is really good. Apalachicola is 25 minutes away but worth the drive; lots of quaint shops. Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve Nature Center has nice walks and interesting inside center to tour. T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park at Cape San Blas is about 15 min away and we enjoyed the trails. A couple of things that could be improved would be a refresh of the living room furniture and addition of safety grab bars in the bathrooms.

Would love to come again.

Great host, great location, perfect get away! The home is well equipped, and comfortably held the 6 in our party. You can view the ocean from the patio, and the kitchen is perfectly sized for large meals. The property was in great condition. We're planning our next trip based upon this last stay, and we'll be back!

Great location! Nice house and only a short walk to the beach!

- Posted: 5/7/2022

Overall this is a great property within a very short walk to the beach. This was our first time visiting the area and everyone was very friendly.

- Posted: 4/17/2022

Loved the property, extremely short walk to the beach. Fish cleaning area was also the perfect area to clean shells and lay them out to dry. Short drive to Port St. Joe, the state park, and an hour to St. George Island.

Best Florida vacation yet! The house was wonderful and incredibly stocked in the kitchen with everything you need to cook. The location was amazing- the beach was basically outside our door and you could hear the waves all day from the screened in balcony

- Posted: 1/1/2022

It was very quite and spacious. Made for a nice and relaxing vacation.

This home was perfect! We had 3 teens and a baby. Our mother in law and best friend came, and there was enough room for all of us and then some.
The master bedroom is BEAUTIFUL!!
The kitchen is huge, and the beach is maybe a 2 min walk.
The elevator is extremely convenient as this home does have quite a few stairs.
Everything about this home was perfect for our 4 days at the beach. Thank you for hosting!!!
just a little tip for anyone visiting the area, there isn’t very many stores, closest grocery store is piggly wiggly about 15 min drive back into port St. Joe. So be sure to grab groceries on your way in.
There’s also a place that delivers firewood (the number is on the corner of the road as you pull in) we made a point to have a fire on the beach, this was the best part of our trip. Kids made s’mores and explored the beach at night.

Fantastic property with a great beach. The house was everything we expected and more, we couldn't have asked for anything better for a fabulous beach vacation (except for maybe a outdoor grill). We would gladly book another beach vacation here again.

- Posted: 7/19/2021

Absolutely perfect house for our 2 families. Location was perfect & a super quick walk to the beach. Loved the extra living area on the middle floor for the kids! The elevator made loading & unloading wonderful! Covered parking was a bonus as well as outdoor shower! We will definitely vacation here again!

Great house. Would love to have it every year.

- Posted: 6/20/2021

This house is amazing! Plenty of space for everyone ( we traveled with 5 adults, 3 children and 1 toddler) more than enough kitchen/dining materials! Extra blankets and pillows, fabulous master bed/bath! We would absolutely stay here again!

We usually use Collins on St. George and have for 25 yrs. .We have attended the Tour of Homes and stayed in St. George and 1st time in St. Joe and fell in love with the area!

- Posted: 5/1/2021

Beautiful house, very spacious, & super close to the beach. Would definitely recommend this place. Loved the size of the kitchen & rooms. We had 2 families of 4 & had plenty of space to relax.

- Posted: 5/11/2021

When we return to Port St Joe we would definitely like to rent this property again.

- Posted: 3/31/2021

My family and I enjoy our stay at Sammy’s Old Place. Everything was as expected in the listing. The check in/check out process was seamless. The view of the beach was great! We love visiting Port St. Joe and staying near the beach. The property was well maintained and offered a relaxing atmosphere for our Spring Break getaway. Even with staying during a pandemic, we felt safe. I do think for the cleaning fee charged, the cleaners could do a better job in some areas. We did bring our own cleaning supplies to use. Overall, we plan to rent Sammy’s old place again.

- Posted: 4/17/2021

The house was everything and more than we could of asked for. It easily accommodated our large multigenerational family. The elevator was a fantastic help in getting all our “stuff” in and out and my 92 year old mom from floor to floor. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped including every pot, pan, and utensil we could have wished for. It has been beautifully decorated and felt more like a home than a hotel. The beach is gorgeous and only steps away. If we return to Port St Joe for a future vacation we all agreed this would be our #1 choice.

Very nice

Great comfortable home just a few short steps from the beach. Perfect for a large family or group. Enjoyed our stay and would stay here again with no hesitation!

The house is phenomenal, especially the elevator it came in so handy for our family. Location to beach is excellent. Loved the solitude of the area.

Great getaway spot. Beach was a surprise! Much nicer than expected. Short ride to Appalchacola and Port St. Joe. House had great character.

Great location for those who just want to relax on the beach and be away from a lot of people. This was a girls trip, there was 10 of us and we had a fabulous. Other than giving a little more care to the cleanliness of the house (dusting, cleaning hair from bathrooms, and shampooing/cleaning of fabric furniture), the stay was totally awesome!

Property was in an ideal location. Quiet area. Easy beach access
