Port St Joe Gem

Spent the weekdays enjoying the low key, non- commercial area of the pan handle. Beautiful beach, quiet, but not deserted. Good people, great food and a super place to stay. Equipped with all that you would need at the beach.

Great place to stay

We enjoyed staying here. It had all we needed for a day at the beach with the wagon, chairs and umbrella and a short walk across the street. The beach was never crowded. Just a short drive to restaurants and shops and Panama City Beach less than an hour away.

Beach Getaway

This is our 4th or 5th time staying in this beach cottage. We always bring our dogs with us and love that we are only 200 steps from the beach. Barbara is an awesome host and is quick and responsive. The place is always kept clean and is in a nice quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be returning over the years.

Loved this cottage. It had everything we needed. My girls even noticed the little personal touches. We had plenty of room for all 4 of us. Loved the outdoor seating and the short walk to the beach. Only thing I would suggest is including pictures of the beach carts and accessories. We had a great week and would highly recommend this cottage. Owner was also quick to respond when I had questions prior to arrival
Spent my birthday at the beach!
Amazing sunsets!
