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.

This was our second stay and we enjoyed it very much. Whether it was sunny or raining it didn’t stop us from enjoying the area. Location is convenient to downtown Port St. Joe and a short drive to Mexico Beach. We look forward to staying again next year!

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!!

Booked this house to stay in while down in Port St Joe on a fishing trip with Perfect Cast Charters. Checkin was very easy, house was very clean, plenty of space, and will keep this place in mind when we come back.
