Dune Buggie Fan!
Suzanne & Jim
Well I'm a Dune Buggie raving fan! We are celebrating 40 years of wedded bliss so it was a special week for us and I would not pick anywhere else! The beach was not crowded and so beautiful. The house is magazine worthy!!! Thank you for such a great trip.

Wonderful, relaxing vacation
The Murphys
What a wonderful, relaxing vacation! The Dune Buggie is awesome and has everything a person needs for a perfect beach stay. We tried several new restaurants in PSJ and enjoyed them all. The beach water was clear and warm. Thanks for providing such a welcoming cottage for our visit. We loved it!
Manager's Response
We are so glad you had such a great time at the Dune Buggie. The owners have gone out of their way to make this home inviting, warm and elegant! Please come again.
Wonderful Vacation Home
Brandi
This house was amazing for our fall break. Beautifully decorated, like new with modern amenities, very comfortable and clean, and a very short walk to the beach. We spent our time relaxing, fishing, and walking on the beach. I can’t recommend this property enough and definitely plan to stay here in the future!
Manager's Response

Outstanding Beach House
Samantha
We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful beach house! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning ocean view and the beautiful interior of the house. The open layout and modern beach decor made us feel right at home. The hosts have definitely thought of everything! The kitchen was fully stocked with absolutely everything we needed to cook meals. The extra ice maker was super convenient for filling our beach cooler and making those special frozen drinks! We spent hours lounging on the beach and swimming in the crystal-clear water. The house has so many games and puzzles to choose from when you’ve had enough sun for the day. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Every bedroom has a bathroom which was great! The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We can't recommend this beach house enough and can't wait to come back again soon! Thank you for an unforgettable vacation.
Manager's Response
Samantha and guest, you all were the Best! We are humbled by all the kind things you had to say about your stay with us! So very happy to be your host and welcome you all back anytime!
Dan
This was one of the best places we've stayed on vacation. The beach and communities are quiet and nice. This home was perfect. Clean, very nicely designed and decorated, and stocked with information, appliances, cookware, etc. that made it like being at home. It was extremely clean and the location near beach access was ideal. Communication was quick and a couple of minor needs were addressed quickly. Thanks for giving our family a great vacation!
Manager's Response
Dan, thank you for the outstanding review during your stay with us at The Dune Buggie. It was a pleasure to have hosted you all and love to hear that this beautiful home had everything you needed and more. Hurry back to see us! Sunshine Vacation Rentals Of The Forgotten Coast
Perfection in Port St Joe!
Mike And Kelly
The Dune Buggie was the perfect place for our family to get away for a few nights to enjoy the beach. The house is beautifully decorated and the layout of the house is wonderful! Everyone had their own bathroom attached to their bedrooms. The kitchen, dining and living areas are one big open space which made it great to all be together while cooking, playing cards and hanging out. The kitchen is a chef’s dream and has every single thing ever needed! We loved the screened porch in the back of the house and the front porch was perfect for watching the amazing sunsets!! The attention to detail in making guests comfortable was unmatched. 10/10 for sure! We hope to visit the Dune Buggie again soon!
Manager's Response
Mike and Kelly, thank you for all the positive things you have mentioned and the OUTSTANDING review! This location is absolutely perfect! So happy to hear everyone enjoyed their stay and that this home had offered everything you would need and much more! All of our guest speak very highly of the custom, comfort and quality layout this home has. Thanks again for your stay, hurry back soon!
Perfect Long Weekend in Late June
Jaleh
Gorgeous new home. All the amenities you need especially in the kitchen! Cozy beds, beautifully decorated. Great location with panoramic view of the ocean from the front porch. The beach was wonderful, even in June we had a stretch all to ourselves. Walk to the beach was easy, even with 4 kiddos in tow! Very quiet neighborhood, but keep in mind you are right off the main drag so there is some road noise.
Manager's Response
The Dune Buggie is a fun little place with lots of space! So convenient to everything with top notch views! We are thrilled you all got to enjoy this special place and welcome you back soon! You all are wonderful guest.

Cannot get over the cuteness
Allison
Loved our stay at the Dune Buggie! I wasn’t sure what the beach access would be like, but it’s literally right across the street, so it’s super convenient. Plus, there’s a thick mesh surface to walk on to the beach. No slugging it across the sand. As for the house, I’ve never stayed in a cuter AirBnB. The decor was so whimsical and inviting. Felt like a vacation from the moment we walked in. The home was very well stocked, and the sweet host even left travel sized containers of shampoo/conditioner, toothpaste, and spray sunscreen in the bathrooms. Super thoughtful. Sunsets from the porch are stunning. Location was perfect. Just 10 minutes to downtown Port St Joe with lots of restaurants and cute shops. We loved it all so much. Wish we had more days!
Manager's Response
Thanks Allison for the 5 star review! We are thrilled you enjoyed your time at The Dune Buggie! This home never disappoints. The owners have meticulously designed the home to be stylish but cozy, high end yet down to earth and have done so with the guest in mind. We look forward to the opportunity to host you again soon. It was indeed our pleasure.
Dune Buggie Love!
Glennie
We cannot wait to book another stay at The Dune Buggie! The home is so beautiful and stylish, which added to our enjoyment. The beach view is perfect - unobstructed and an easy walk to the sand and surf. We were so impressed with the cleanliness and how every detail was addressed. A professional chef could not ask for a better kitchen with all the elements on hand. As much as we enjoyed the interior of the home, we spent a lot of time on the front porch and the screened porch - and we watched sunsets from the side deck. Perfection!
Manager's Response
It was our pleasure hosting you at The Dune Buggie! The owners have gone out of their way to make sure each guest has an amazing experience, and we are so proud to manage this beautiful home! We hope you will visit again soon.
Relax and renew at The Dune Buggie
Glennie
We had the most wonderful week at The Dune Buggie! The house is fantastic - in every way - the decor is stylish and upscale, the kitchen is perfectly stocked and the beach gear is abundant, and the location is amazing. We sat on the front porch for coffee in the morning watching the ocean, the screened porch when it rained one afternoon, and the side deck to watch the sunsets. And the walk to the beach took 2 minutes tops. All those elements added up to the most relaxing and enjoyable week we've had in ages. I cannot WAIT to rebook The Dune Buggie for our next vacation!
Manager's Response
Thank you Glennie! We are thrilled you had an awesome time at The Dune Buggie! This home is indeed amazing and stocked with all of the comforts of home. We look forward to a return visit and the opportunity to host you once again. It was our pleasure.
