Coastal Haven with Beach Access & Pickleball, Port St Joe

Welcome to Costa Del Sol, a spacious, beautifully appointed 5-bedroom retreat on Florida's Forgotten Coast, where unspoiled Gulf beaches, warm emerald water, and a slower pace of life are waiting for you. Whether you're planning the ultimate family vacation, a long weekend with friends, or a memorable group getaway, this Port St. Joe home delivers the space, the amenities, and the location to make it exceptional. With 12 guest capacity, beach access steps from your door, a community pool, and a coveted 4.94 Guest Favorite rating, this is one of Gulf County's most celebrated vacation homes.

Inside, five thoughtfully arranged bedrooms sleep up to 12 guests comfortably: a king master suite, a second king bedroom, a queen room, a twin room, and a bunk bedroom perfect for kids. Three full bathrooms mean mornings are never a bottleneck, and the open living and dining areas give the whole group room to gather. Smart TVs throughout, Alexa voice assistants in the kitchen and master, and a fully equipped kitchen designed for real cooking not just reheating make this home as functional as it is comfortable.

Step outside and the fun really begins. The community pool is perfect for cooling off after a morning at the beach. The pickleball and sand volleyball courts add friendly competition to the mix, and the private balcony, deck, and backyard are ideal for evening gatherings, sunset cocktails, and simply doing nothing at all. Beach access means the Gulf is never more than a short walk, and Salinas Park with its rare dual gulf and bay access is just one minute down the road.

Dogs are welcome here too (up to 2, with a pet fee), which makes this home a rare and highly sought-after option on the Forgotten Coast. Gulf County beaches are pet-friendly, and your four-legged travel companions will love the open outdoor spaces and the easy beach access just as much as you do.

The Forgotten Coast is one of Florida's best-kept secrets and locals and regulars are increasingly determined to keep it that way. No high-rises, no traffic, no carnival-strip boardwalks. Just pristine white sand beaches, crystal-clear Gulf water, world-class scalloping in St. Joseph Bay, and the kind of small-town Gulf Coast character that most of Florida traded away decades ago. T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, just 19 minutes south, is consistently ranked among the most beautiful state parks in the country. The 8-mile Loggerhead Trail along Cape San Blas offers unforgettable walking and cycling. The waters of St. Joseph Bay is legendary for summer scalloping, a uniquely hands-on Gulf Coast tradition where guests rent a boat, grab their snorkels, and gather dinner straight from the bay.

If you are timing your trip around the local event calendar, this is an area worth planning ahead for. The Florida Scallop, Music and Arts Festival each August is a beloved regional celebration with live music, seafood, local arts, and community energy that draws visitors from across the Southeast. The Blast on the Bay Songwriters Festival each October brings intimate, Nashville-caliber performances to small venues across downtown Port St. Joe is a uniquely special event for music lovers. The Forgotten Coast En Plein Air Festival in March is a nationally recognized outdoor painting festival. Blues on Reid, Christmas on the Coast, and Ghost on the Coast round out a year-round events calendar that makes the Forgotten Coast a destination in every season.

Whether you are a first-time Forgotten Coast visitor or a returning regular, Costa Del Sol offers the rare combination of standout amenities, a proven guest experience, and a location that puts the best of Gulf County at your doorstep. Managed by RedAwning with dedicated support throughout your stay.
