My entire family had an excellent time at the farm. The hosts were both super kind and gave an awesome tour of the animals on the property. The place was stayed was clean, quiet, and reasonably priced. It is also in a great location if you are looking to fish or hit the beaches. I highly recommend the Rise N Shine Farm!!
Justin and his wife were very accomodating. Property was great to get away from the hustle of city living. Kids enjoyed playing football and feeding the animals!
We had a great stay at Rise 'n' Shine farm. The space was very large and the bunk beds were surprisingly comfortable! My kids loved being able to see the animals, and the hosts even let us meet and feed their animals. The location is remote, but a short drive to groceries and the cute beach town of Port St. Joe. The hosts gave us our space/privacy but were very responsive. They also shipped us our ipad when we left it there by accident. All in all, a great place to spend spring break!
The place is just as described. It was clean, the view of the animals was great. Nice and quiet. I felt as if I was at home. The communication with the owner was very good and prompt. I would definitely stay again. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
The property and all its ammenities worked out great for us and its location in Wewa gave us
the options to visit Port St. Joe and Cape San Blas, the Dead Lakes, springs and Mariana Caverns all in our visit. Hanging out with the farm animals was a bonus for the kids. Will be back again. The property owners really went over the top to make our visit a good time.
We were in the area for a high school wrestling tournament. The hosts were very friendly and helpful when needed. I really enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the barnyard animals interact.Stella the lama was our favorite she would stop by our fence occasionally to say hi. I will not hesitate to book this place again if I need to.
This was an absolute perfect place for us to stay. We were close to the beaches and away from the noises, crowds, and expenses associated with staying on the beach. The house was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for us and our 3 teen age girls. Watching the animals outside our window was relaxing and peaceful, and we spent the night playing board games that were provided and having good quality family fun time time. Justin was wonderful and easy to work with, and his children were so sweet and helpful it made our stay more like being with family. Our only regret was we didn't find this property sooner so we could have spent more time there. There is no question that when we go back to this area we are re-booking here. We encourage anyone looking at visiting this part of Florida to stay here as well. You won't be disappointed.
Fabulous host family! The place was larger than we expected. Exceptionally clean. Nice thick bath towels. All the amenities you would expect. I did not bring my hair dryer so they brought one right over when I asked. They are very very accommodating. If you need something you don't see, just ask. They live next door. Very peaceful setting. Plenty of room to park vehicles and boat. Farm animals on site but we never had a chance to take tour. 10 min from beach, 10 min from Wewa and Dead Lakes. Ideal spot. We will for sure be back.
This home was immaculate. I requested to arrive a few hours early due to attending my nieces wedding and driving all morning. They were soooo accommodating. The home was extremely clean an exactly like the photos. The farm was also very cute. Great for young children to see the animals. Thank you so much for making our trip relaxing and enjoyable.
Amazing property that was nice and secluded but still close enough to anything you needed and wanted! The hosts were amazing and communicated beyond my expectations
