The Surf Ranch: Near Bay, Pet Friendly!

Welcome to your dream coastal getaway at The Surf Ranch, a charming cottage-style retreat nestled in the heart of outdoor paradise. This enchanting 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation home is tailored for the active soul, the family seeking memorable experiences, or friends on an exhilarating adventure.

Experience the convenience of single-story living at The Surf Ranch, where a spacious front porch invites you to start your day with a cup of coffee or unwind with a cocktail at sunset. The corner lot features a pull-through driveway, perfect for guests with boats eager to explore the abundant waters of St. Joe Bay. Your vessel will find safe harbor under the covered parking, shielded from the elements.

For families and pet owners, The Surf Ranch offers a secure front yard, providing a safe space for children and furry friends to play. The property is adjacent to the Port City Trail, a 4-mile illuminated paved pedestrian path for joggers, bikers, and leisurely strolls. Stay hydrated at the trailside water fountains and take breaks on comfortable benches along your route.

Enjoy the convenience of the house's proximity to a community playground, baseball fields directly behind the home, and a park boasting outdoor fitness equipment—just a half-mile stroll down the trail. A short bike ride takes you into the charming heart of downtown Port St. Joe, where local shops and eateries are ready for your exploration.

After a day of sun and sport, the expansive laundry/mud room greets you, keeping the rest of your coastal haven pristine. Inside, the Surf Ranch comes to life with a light and airy surf-themed décor, perfectly encapsulating the essence of your seaside escape.

Your vacation dreams are ready to be realized. The Surf Ranch invites you to cast off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, and anchor your memories in the bliss of coastal living.

Football

Grest communication with the staff. They had to relocate us before our arrival date and everything went smoothly. WindMark was a great location for walking, proximity to PCB and PSJ. A littke bit of a drive to Tally for the game but overall great!
