Hi! My name is Kristen and I’m
From Tallahassee. My husband and my
Sister in-law inherited this beautifully renovated home from their Dad,
Wally. He went to high school here and ended up moving east to be with his wife… which they are reunited again.
After my mother in laws passing, his heart ( friends and family) were in Port St Joe and moved back. We love this home and hope you all do too. We named our home Skippers Beacon ( his love of the water, boating and the lighthouse that he’d look at while drinking his morning coffee.
