We went to Port St Joe to celebrate New Year's with friends who were staying a month in their RV just down the road. This appeared to be a great choice as we don't typically stay in Air BNB and hotel choices are limited. We brought our dog, so that limited choices even more. We were placed in a Bay View cottage, which was a great location in the middle of town across from the Bay. However, what wasn't told was there are full time low income residents in the other Cottages adjacent to the one we stayed in. The residents had at least 3 children under the age of four. Again, thats fine, but was completely unexpected. The kids were boisterous, as most toddlers are which woke us up each morning (much earlier than we wanted). The walls were so thin we could hear all conversations and the back of the cottage adjoined a alleyway where the trash truck picked up dumpsters around 5am two of the six mornings we were there. The staff was really nice and the hotel itself was cute but not pet friendly. We did enjoy having our own kitchen, however I wouldn't recommend this place for a relaxing getaway because of the road noise, low income housing residents, and thin walls. I tried to talk my husband into going to the new hotel across the street but he refused because we had already paid over $1000 for our stay.
