Comfortable & Convenient

This was our first visit to Port St Joe and it was great! The cottage was fully stocked with every thing we needed to be able to relax. The photo album showing the restoration process was fascinating! Great location with an easy walk to the great restaurants in the historic downtown. Would definitely stay here again!!

Will be back!

House was perfect for our family of 3 and little 10 pound pup! We spent most of our time in the bay fishing or in the back yard with the fire pit going! Driveway is long enough for boat parking! We cooked every night at the house, had all the utensils & dishes we needed! Owner was quick to respond to all of ours questions/needs! We could walk everywhere! Less than 10 minute walk to marina, where there is a park & small walking trail. Could easily walk to the downtown area to restaurants if you want! We will definitely be back!

Cute cottage

This property worked great for us. Loved the back yard and " happy hour" hut. Very comfortable. Very friendly neighborhood. Loved the front porch. The bike had a flat tire, would have been nice to have one but only blocks to town and nice to walk the neighborhood.

Great location for us. Enjoyed the historic nature of the house & town. Comfortable & convenient.

Door lock a little tricky with door jam/dead bolt. Spent days on water fishing so early AM/PM use mostly. Would reserve again in future if back in area for similar type trip.

Great Little House

Came down for a few days of fishing in St. Joe Bay. The house is close to the boat ramp in port St. Joe and conveniently located to everything in town. There was plenty of room to park my boat (20 foot) in the side driveway and backing in was easy as the street isn’t very busy. Look forward to hopefully staying here again next year.

Charming cottage

The cottage was charming and very nostalgic. It is conveniently located near historic downtown St.Port Joe and the bay side of the Gulf. Found lots of things to do in and around the area even in a rainy week. Janis is a wonderful hostess and quick to respond to any needs you might have. If you are looking for a place away from all the crowds of 30A, this is it. Great location for this unique cottage!

Cute house, great location to downtown

We enjoyed our stay. With a little more attention to detail, the house would be fantastic. The location is walkable to the shops and restaurants downtown and the beach. The street that the house is on is a little bit of a mixed bag—some empty dilapidated houses and some that look like long time residents. The back yard area needs some TLC. Overall, it’s a cute little house and worked for our stay.

Precious cottage

This quaint cottage is located adjacent to downtown Port St Joe. The bay and a small park are located across a 2 lane Main Street. It is in a shaded neighborhood with similar cottages. Inside is an open design concept, with 2 bedrooms, and a bonus bunk room/office. Full bath and laundry room in the back of the house. Very comfortable and cozy. Very nice fenced in backyard for our 2 pups ! Overall, very nice stay, will go back.
