Cozy Cottage Steps From the Beach

Welcome to your fun-filled escape at the Midlife Crisis Cottage! Leave your worries behind and embrace the relaxed coastal lifestyle, with the pristine white sands of the beach just a three-minute walk from your front door.

### The Space

This cozy 900 sq ft cottage is thoughtfully designed for couples, small families, and groups of friends. Inside, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms, each featuring a king-sized bed and a white noise machine to ensure a peaceful night's sleep. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious meals, and you can enjoy your morning coffee on the front deck while watching the sunrise.

Step outside to your private entertainment hub! The wonderful outdoor area is perfect for making memories and includes:
* A covered TV and sitting area
* Fun and games: cornhole, foosball, and giant Connect Four
* A grill for afternoon cookouts
* A fire pit for roasting s'mores under the stars

We've also stocked the cottage with you in mind, providing modern conveniences like Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer. For those traveling with little ones, a Pack 'n play and high chair are available.

You will have private access to the entire cottage, including the expansive outdoor living and entertainment areas.

### The Neighborhood

Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, our cottage offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Enjoy easy beach access for a full day of sun and sand—we even provide a beach cart to help you carry your gear.

Explore the best of Gulf County with activities for everyone. Grab the provided pickleball paddles and head to the local courts, go for a bike ride, or try your hand at fishing. The area is also home to charming local shops and fantastic restaurants waiting to be discovered.

### Getting Around

The cottage is conveniently located for exploring the surrounding coastal towns:
* Downtown Port St. Joe: 7.5 miles

* The cottage has a cozy indoor footprint of 900 sq ft.
* There is no bathtub; the bathroom is equipped with a shower.
* A convenient second toilet is located outdoors.
* The outdoor shower provides cold water only, perfect for a refreshing rinse after a day at the beach.

Enjoying the day

Great stay very close to the beach. Clean and comfortable property. Had to take one star away for check in due to VRBO messaging glitch so we didn’t get the access code ahead of time. Rachel was very helpful. We have definitely return next time we’re in the area

GUESTS! I'm a single mom of two teens. I love traveling, looking for rocks and minerals, hiking, people...Currently live on the outskirts of Philly. Go Phillies

Why they chose this property

I don't like the hustle and bustle and traffic of most the popular Florida beach areas, but I came down here a couple years ago, and it was different. Port st Joe and Mexico beach have a neighborhood community vibe. It's local, it's low key, the beaches are pristine, the people are kind and you still have everything you would get at the bigger beach towns. If it's really relaxation and time at the beach, with good fishing and good neighbors, this is the area for you. well, it's the area for me anyway!

What makes this property unique

Im putting a lot of personal heart into this. I've never done something like this, but believe I can provide something fun and welcoming, with good conditions, just based on being a traveler myself and loving people. I have no property manager, no team behind me, just doing this from the ground up knowing that its the perfect space and location for people to make some killer memories in in a great vibe
