Quaint Cottage - Two Blocks from the Bay

If you're looking for a place to relax, be close to fishing or to play Pickleball, look no further. This three bedroom/2 bath property is completely renovated on the interior. The home is located in beautiful Port St. Joe, two blocks from the bay with wonderful sunsets. You can walk to downtown and enjoy wonderful restaurants including Peppers, Sisters Bistro or Sand Dollar Café, among others. You are a 5 minute drive to St Joe Beach or 10 minutes to Mexico Beach with gorgeous white sand beaches. Pickleball courts are located at Frank Pate Park, Salinas Park and Mexico Beach. Frank Pate Park is on the bay and a five-minute walk from the cottage.

Large back yard is fenced with a screened porch to relax on during those warm summer evenings. The parking pad in front will easily accommodate 4 cars or a boat and 1-2 cars. You are only 2-3 blocks from Frank Pate Park which includes a 4-wide boat launch facility. This is a quiet neighborhood with quick access to downtown and also a 20 minute drive to Cape San Blas. The Cape is part of a peninsula separating St Joseph Bay from the Gulf of Mexico and is worth a visit.

Absolutely "No Smoking" allowed inside the house.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

thanksgiving

property was okay. heat was not working properly. manager was in atlanta and tried to handle the problem from her computer. finally called in an hvac technician the next day while we were out. the tech said it was a bad thermostat and changed that out, but we still couldn’t get heat when we got home Sunday evening. we had extra blankets, so did not want to move out as the manager wanted. each day got warmer, so we were okay and got to host thanksgiving dinner for our family as planned. we will not choose to stay somewhere again that doesn’t have an in town property manager.

IMMACULATELY clean and great location!

This is THE cleanest rental I have ever stayed in, and there is an unbelievable amount of attention paid to detail in this home. For instance, as someone who loves ice, the ice in the ice maker appeared to be a brand new batch - not frostbitten and of questionable date like I’ve seen in other homes’ freezers. They also had plenty of silverware and even cookware, which is rare to find well-stocked in a rental home. While I often worry when taking my 2-year-old to any house other than our own, about what he might get into or break, there weren’t a lot of knick knacks for him to bother with. That was greatly appreciated! The whole house was very comfortable and spacious; the beds were the only downside. The master bedroom mattress is extremely creaky, without much cushion to separate us from the innersprings. I would have gladly slept in one of the other bedrooms, but I prefer a firm sleeping surface, and the 2 add’l bedrooms had very plush mattress toppers. It would have been nice to see a mix of mattress types, so that one could choose the best surface for oneself. The neighborhood was very nice, quiet, and family friendly. We were super close to our family member’s home; he is a local in PSJ. We would definitely consider staying here again, although it would be good to see at least 1 mattress changed so that sleep wasn’t so uncomfortable. But overall, for most people, who are probably less picky about sleep surfaces, this is a 10/10 place!

Weekend get away

This house was fantastic! In the heart of Port Saint Joe. It was so welcoming and for a family it’s perfect! You have everything you need. The house was so clean, bigger than the pictures show and we had the best time. I would recommend this home if you are looking for down time but close to shops and restaurants. We can’t wait to come back and visit family. We will be back!

Boating trip to the Port St Joe

The house was great! Had everything we needed and the location was perfect. We kept the boat at the marina and the water was a short walk down the road. Easy to walk to everything. We used the boat to go to the beach so we had no issues. We will stay here again.
