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.

Perfect vacation property
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at the Quaint Cottage. We’ve rented numerous properties through VRBO, and this one is our favorite. The cottage is spacious and comfortable, and it’s close to everything. You won’t be disappointed.

The owl house
This is our second stay at this property. Very clean property with everything we needed. The area is quiet and it is walking distance to the shops in town. Our favorite restaurant is the KrazyFish. Very nice area away from Disney. A big plus for us. We had a great time.

Beautiful home, owners thought of a lot of little things that made for a wonderful stay. Only complaint would be the king bed was very uncomfortable. Very stiff mattress. Overall though, we enjoyed our stay!

This is my second time staying here and it’s a great low key place close to everything. The only “complaint” I have is the master bedroom mattress needs to be replaced. Other than that everything was perfect!

Perfect beach town rental
I'm from this area and rented this house for some friends coming in from out of town. They couldn't wrap their minds around how close we were to the water, restaurants, and even the grocery store. The house itself was the perfect hangout spot when we had rainy day in. Plenty of space and the comforts of home for everyone to feel cozy and content. Would definitely rent again!

Port St. Joe
This was our first stay in Port St. Joe. Easy area to drive around in. The house was absolutely beautiful. It was very comfortable , clean and well stocked for cooking if you so desire. One of the best homes we ever rented. Communication with the owner/manager was excellent. The neighborhood was very quiet and it was a short walk to the Reid St. area. Plenty of restaurants, shops, and beaches nearby. We had a great time. Bill and Marie. Lockport NY

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.

Amazing weekend in a great home!
We love visiting the Forgotten Coast but as it’s become less and less forgotten, it can be difficult to find a really great place to stay that everyone (2 adults, a teen boy, and a under 10 girl) loves but this home fit the bill! It’s laid out so well and is spacious without feeling oversized. Close to everything, the location is perfect and the parking was ample. The decor is simple and tasteful and very comfortable. The beds were comfy, the towels fluffy, and the master shower is huge!! The owners were very responsive when a simple issue arose and had it resolved almost immediately. We will definitely stay again! ❤️

Smelled like cigarette smoke
The property has a very strong odor of cigarette smoke. It made it very uncomfortable to be in. When we got home we had to rewash all of our (even clean) laundry and air out our luggage to try to get rid of the cigarette odor that had soaked into everything.

The property was good, clean, neat and roomy. Not sure why but ran out of hot water in a hurry. My only problem was with the use of the TV. I know if all I wanted was a TV I could have stayed at home. But this was UGA's first game of the season and there was no way I could find to watch it. There were no directions on how to use the media. All you could watch was old movies and cartoons, or try and find a bar that had seats available. LOL
