Located in the beach community of Port St. Joe, this vacation rental offers families and friends the quintessential Florida experience at a relaxed pace. Just a quick drive from boutique shopping and amazing local eateries, you can enjoy a day of retail therapy, or head out on the water of St. Joseph Bay for a refreshing fishing trip.
For families interested in getting out of town for the day, it's a quick drive to Panama City Beach and Apalachicola, both of which offer something for all ages. Beach living is at its peak here, so it's easy to enjoy a casual adventure by hiking Cape San Blas park (previously St. Joseph Peninsula State Park), or simply catching rays on the private, uncrowded beaches.

We had a wonderful stay at this St. Joe Beach home. The location is absolutely perfect — right on the Gulf with beautiful views, easy beach access, and plenty of space for everyone to relax. The house was clean, well-appointed, and thoughtfully set up for a comfortable stay, whether you’re cooking, gathering as a group, or just enjoying the deck and sunsets. It exceeded our expectations in every way. St. Joe Beach itself is quiet, uncrowded, and ideal if you’re looking for a peaceful, family-friendly getaway. We loved how easy it was to unwind here — morning coffee overlooking the water, long beach walks, and evenings listening to the waves. Communication was smooth, check-in was easy, and everything was exactly as described.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free beach escape.

Cannot say enough good things about this house. We had a large group and lots of kids and it was just perfect. A couple issues that we had were immediately addressed by the host and we are already talking about coming back and staying in the house for our next big get together.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Property was great! Matched description on VRBO site. House was clean, well maintained and stocked with starter essentials. Beach front property was beautiful and clean. Port St Joe area has an old florida vibe and is less developed than Panama City. Pool was well maintained and clean, but be aware its rather small. Be aware that Hwy 98 runs right behind house and can make parking challenging depending on traffic, and the road noise is audible in some rooms. They did provide white noise devices in some bedrooms to counter the noise, which i found thoughtful. Definitely recommend staying here. One downside, which has nothing to do with this house, if you need catering, do not use CateringConnections. Very negative experience and poorly run business.

Perfect house for large groups. We had a maintenance issue that was resolved quickly and completely. Staff at office very congenial and polite. The pool is wonderful and the beach is easy to get to with the private boardwalk.
