Highball Heaven offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and privacy for larger families or groups visiting the beautiful bayside town of Port St. Joe. This unique 4-bedroom, 2 full and 2 half bath rental combines two separate but identical units—Mint Julep (ground floor) and Manhattan (upstairs)—within the peaceful Villages at Marina Cove development, just steps from the breathtaking St. Joseph Bay. Each level features its own fully equipped kitchen, living area, and separate entrance, making it ideal for groups who want to enjoy time together while still having their own space to unwind. Both units include a spacious master bedroom with a king bed and an ensuite bathroom, as well as a second bedroom with two queen beds and its own full bath. Each unit also has a half bath in the main living area and is pet-friendly. While Mint Julep offers convenient ground-floor access, Manhattan adds extra charm with two private decks—one with outdoor seating and views of the lighthouse and bay, and another off the guest bedroom for peaceful solitude. With accommodations for up to 12 guests and four dedicated parking spots, Highball Heaven is the ideal getaway for holidays, reunions, or group retreats on the Gulf Coast.
