The Anchorage

This beach house is absolutely perfect- we LOVED the style and decor! The location is great for accessing both amenities in Port St. Joe and the beautiful beaches, sunsets, and state parks on Cape San Blas. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook anything from crab boils, shucking scallops, basic breakfast, and beyond. The set up outside was perfect for my partner to store all his fishing gear and clean and cook any catch right by the waterfront. I loved that there is a sound system to connect and play music inside and on the dining area on the porch! This home would very comfortably sleep many more but was also not too huge for a party of two. We loved having an essentially private beach right outside the house. The amount of cleaning supplies and bathroom essentials was plenty for the length of our stay, but we did bring extra just in case. You can tell that this is a home built and maintained by a loving family and we absolutely cannot wait to return!

The view of the beach was wonderful. We enjoyed being so close to the beach. House was clean. Kitchen had lots of space and had all we needed. The home was definitely dated and needed some changes. Living area furniture was not really comfortable and needed better lighting. . Proximity to Port St. Joe helped with supplies. All of this said, one can see this was a real home for a real family.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Anchorage. The location was wonderful and I would have been happy to have just stayed there all week without going anywhere else!

We had a great stay with our family! We wanted a quiet beach for our toddlers to be able to run and play and we got just that. The property is super dated and could use some updates, but you can’t beat the value or location! The pictures online are an accurate depiction.

- Posted: 7/14/2023

We LOVED this property!! The pictures do not do the property any justice!! Everything was perfect and the home is set up so perfect for our family and 2nd family that came with us. We all were so sad to leave and will definitely coming back!!

This is not a fancy, modern, cold and sleek house - this is a home that was clearly built with love and by owners who want to share their love of the beach with others! It is an older home that doesn't appear to have been updated recently, HOWEVER - The home was clean, fully furnished with everything we needed, and was RIGHT ON THE BEACH! I could see my family on the beach from the kitchen window! We loved everything about the Anchorage and I hope we can stay here again on our next beach trip!

The Anchorage was perfect for our family's beach vacation! This is not a sleek, modern, shiny new home - no marble or silver or steel. It is a beach retreat, with a warmly decorated interior with everything you need to enjoy time at the beach. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with every cooking utensil/item we needed. The location was perfect - I could look out the kitchen window and see the kids on the beach! It was close enough that my young daughter could run back up to the house for something and we didn't have to pack up and haul everything back to the house! I hope we can return soon!

We loved every minute it was fabulous!

What a great place to vacation! There were 4 adults and two kids. Staying directly on the beach was so great for my father who tires easily and made it easy to go back for breaks and food. Wonderful details such as outside showers to rinse the sand off before going inside and even a more private full temperature controlled shower under the house! Located down a small street with houses on large-ish lots meant we felt like we had a huge chunk of beach to ourselves.

Great location! We had a wonderful time

- Posted: 6/26/2022

Loved our stay! Almost had the whole beach to ourselves! Thank you!

We loved this place. 4 adults were comfortable.

Great property overall. The beach berm was hard to navigate, but we understand the need for it. The Media Comm package was unusable, but little used.

We have been at the Anchorage over 10 years.

- Posted: 3/27/2022

This is an older property, with older furnishings and decor, but we liked it because of that. Comfortable and felt like you could relax because it wasn’t all foo-fooey. The kitchen is a great size, so a lot of people could be in the kitchen at the same time. It’s nice that all the living space is on one floor. We would stay there again - felt very homey. Great location right on the beach and the boardwalk and outside showers were great.

Best house we've ever stayed in for vacation! Will definitely be returning!

- Posted: 8/8/2021

The place was beautiful.

The house was very comfortable and well-appointed. Downstairs deck area was fantastic. We enjoyed the screened porch and the easy walkway to the beach. No complaints; we had a great visit.

Nice house and incredible gulf front!

- Posted: 11/22/2021

We had a wonderful, relaxing and fun time at the Anchorage! Cool beach vibe!

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!! This is a great house with Amazing views!! The beach is private and not crowded at all. The management is very responsive to any questions. Like a previous person said make sure to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, etc. No big deal we just picked some up with our normal groceries. Otherwise the kitchen was fully stocked with any dishes or cookware we needed. Awesome family vacation!

Very clean and cozy beach house. It was well equipped with everything we needed (except for paper towels and extra trashbags) with cute vintage beach decor, and nice personal touches that make it feel like home. And you cant beat the ocean views from the living room, deck, master and kitchen. The screened in porch was a nice place to relax especially when it rained, though the screen door could use a new latch. Overall a quiet area, away from public beaches, with plenty of space from neighbors and great ocean views. A fantastic beach vacation!

I would consider a better maintained and more updated beachfront property.

- Posted: 6/5/2021

This was exactly what I needed. I'll definitely be back!

- Posted: 9/4/2020

The stay was good. It was relaxing and what we needed.

- Posted: 7/11/2020

We had a great time there. The least favorite thing would be the living area furniture was very uncomfortable and a dining table would have been perfect.

We had an amazing time!! We could see dolphins right near the shore, it was deserted and we had an amazing time social distancing on the beach!

- Posted: 5/31/2020

Beautiful, comfortable, spaceous, well taken care of. We have been vacationing in Florida for 21 years and The Anchorage is the perfect place for our family.

We had a great week at the Anchorage. We have been coming for 9 years now. Love the upgrades!!!
