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.

Fantastic house in a great location. Well stocked for cooking, even had a bag of ice in the freezer for our use. Clean. Wonderful lay out. Fenced yard worked well for our pup. We could sit on the screened porch and watch her run around. Good communications from the owner but we don’t have any issues at all - everything worked. Not sure why it’s not rated a 10/10 because it deserves it.

I have stayed in a lot of rentals and a lot of VRBOs, but hands down, this is probably the cleanest home I have ever stayed in!! Not just clean, but it was also well stocked with (almost) everything you need for the kitchen, plenty of linens and comfortable beds! Check in and check out was seamless and the location was awesome. Just minutes from the downtown shops and just a short drive to Mexico Beach and Cape San Blas. 10/10 recommend. My only suggestion would be to add an air fryer and install a taller toilet in the spare bathroom, because it’s rough on (old) long legged people!!

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!

Lovely, roomy home with a nice screened room where we could enjoy morning coffee. Very nice over-sized, walk-in shower in master bedroom. Location is perfect for enjoying local shops and restaurants. This home is definitely on our radar for next year’s visit!
