4BR Beach Home w/ Fire Pit & Gulf Views

Welcome to your coastal escape in Port St. Joe - where ocean views, soft breezes & easy beach days await! Enjoy the perfect blend of comfort, relaxation & family-friendly fun:

- Sleeps 8 | 4 bedrooms | 5 beds | 2.5 baths
- Private outdoor pool (heated Oct-Mar)
- Gulf-view decks w/ BBQ & outdoor seating
- Fully fenced backyard w/ fire pit
- Beach access just 300 steps away + beach essentials
- Pet-friendly ($150 per pet, max 2)
Step outside and breathe in the salt-tinged air as the sound of waves drifts in from the nearby shore. Sip your morning coffee on a gulf-view deck while the sunlight dances on the water, or sink into a chair by the fire pit as the sky fades to soft pink at dusk. Here, every moment unfolds between the rhythm of the sea and the comfort of home.



Sleeping arrangements
This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath beach house accommodates up to 8 guests. The ground level offers a bedroom with a daybed and trundle (2 twin beds), along with easy access to the pool area. On the mid-level, you’ll find a master bedroom with a king bed, ensuite bath, and direct access to a gulf-view balcony. Two additional bedrooms each feature queen beds, smart TVs, and storage for your stay. A full bath with double vanities and a tub/shower combo completes this floor.

Outdoor living
Spend your days just 300 steps from the beach, then return to your private outdoor space. The fenced backyard offers lounge seating, a table and chairs, and a fire pit for relaxed evenings under the stars. Take a refreshing dip in the private outdoor pool, available all year and open 24 hours, with a heating option from October to March (for an additional fee). After a day in the sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower and unwind on one of two decks that overlook the Gulf of Mexico. The upper deck includes a gas BBQ grill for sunset meals shared with family or friends.

Kitchen & dining
The open-concept top floor combines a kitchen, dining, and living area framed by gulf views. The kitchen is equipped with cooking basics, a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, microwave, coffee maker, and other stainless steel appliances. The dining table seats six, with four additional bar stools at the counter, creating space for shared meals and easy conversation.

Comfort & amenities
Inside, you’ll find thoughtful touches for both comfort and convenience: free washer and dryer in-unit, towels and bed linens, central air conditioning, and a ceiling fan. Smart TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a dedicated workspace make it easy to balance leisure and connection. For families, a crib, Pack ’n Play, baby gates, and board games are provided to make travel easier.

Pet-friendly stay
This pet-friendly home welcomes up to two pets with prior approval and a non-refundable fee of $150 per pet. Assistance animals are always allowed. The fenced yard offers ample room for pets to relax outdoors by your side.

Perfect spot to get away. House was exceptionally clean. Location was great. Beach access was easy to get to, just a short walk or park on the side of the road. Victoria was prompt with everything from the time we booked. Plan to go back! Loved the area!

Great spot for relaxing vacation

Thoroughly enjoyed this house for our family vacation (6 adults + 1 pup). The house had plenty of room for our group, and being only a block from the beach was amazing. This was our first time venturing to the beaches near Mexico Beach and Port St Joe and now I don't think we'll ever go back to our regular spots of Miramar or Rosemary. This area was much more laid back and much less crowded while still having great restaurant options and amazing views. Another plus was our host Victoria was very easy to work with and responded within minutes each time we had a question before check-in and during our stay.

Don’t miss this awesome Port St. Joe house!

Start to finish- this was a great property for our Port St. Joe vacation. It’s in a perfect location just a quick walk to the beach with a view of the water. Excellent accommodations: super clean, well decorated, comfortable, and spacious. The hosts were so nice and ready to help in any way. Pool was pristine. Easy parking and nice neighborhood. We will be back for sure! This is a perfect rental home!!!! Thank you!

Christmas get together

What a wonderful home and perfect location from the beach(less than a 5 minute walk). Plenty of room for our family of 9, to sleep and spread out to enjoy the view! Quite mornings and beautiful sunsets! We wish we were still there! I can’t forget the excitement of our grand-dogs! They loved the beach too! The outside shower made for easy cleanup!! We will definitely be back.

Be on the beach every day

We were there in February so it was too cold to swim, but we walked on the gorgeous beach every day and enjoyed spectacular sunsets from the deck. House is clean, well-equipped for cooking, and the hosts were great. It's in a neighborhood in transition, in a way - post-Hurricane Michael. The natural, unbuilt parts of the Panhandle are the reason to go, And Apalachicola, and town 40 mins away, gives a feeling of Old Florida - be sure to wander around the Gibson Inn.

Highly Recommend this Home

If I could give you more than 5 stars I would. Victoria was so nice, easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions I had. The process was seamless and the home was beautifully decorated and clean. Having a private pool was so convenient and definitely spoiled us. Although you are not directly on the beach, we had amazing views of the sunsets and the surf from all the balconies and it was just a short walk to the beach. A very nice and quiet neighborhood. I would highly recommend this home for your next family or friends vacation.

Perfect vacation spot

I treated my adult kids and my grand babies to a beach trip. This was the perfect place! Hosts were quick to respond, very accomodating, and the pool was amazing! The home had everything you could possibly need. And it WAS a quick 300 steps to the beach. We hope to return!

Great overall

This property is pretty cool and within a short walk to the beach. The pool was great and we enjoyed the fenced in backyard for our pups. The bears and the garbage were a problem. We picked up trash every day we were there and it added an unexpected element to our trip. I feel like it's a pretty big ask for renters to pick up trash daily, spray it with ammonia, etc when bear proof cans could solve the issue. The sliding door off the main living area needs to be replaced. We ended up not using it mainly because it was simply too difficult for us to open and close!

Great house with plenty of space and great location

This was our first time visiting this area as we were trying to get away from the crowds and just relax, enjoy the beach and spend time with family. I was unsure at first with the house not being directly on the beach however we were so pleasantly surprised. The house was exactly as described. Lots of space, very clean and had everything that we needed. The fenced in back yard with the pool was perfect. And…. Our fur babies loved it as well. It was actually less than 300 steps to the beach for me( yes I counted), it only took just a few minutes to get to the beach and there was great access to walk to it. Wayne and Victoria was excellent to work with and made sure and everything was taken care of. We definitely plan on coming back!

Lots of goodness in this vacation. The house is beachy and comfortable. It is well maintained and the owners are very accommodating. Plenty of towels to use at the pool, as well as several beach chairs, wagon, and more! We had a minor plumbing issue; which was resolved within an hour of notifying Mrs. Lindsey. She was so quick to respond prior to and during our stay. The back yard swimming pool was fabulous! Beach is a very short walk. There were 8 of us and we never felt crowded.

Why they chose this property

We chose St. Joe Beach, Florida for its quiet, friendly atmosphere and proximity to the beach. Unlike the busier areas such as Panama City Beach or Destin, it offers a peaceful, quite, serene environment with spectacular sunsets and a short 8 mile drive to shopping and restaurants.
