Area information:
Located in the beach community of Port St. Joe, this vacation rental offers families and friends the quintessential Florida experience at a relaxed pace. Just a quick drive from boutique shopping and amazing local eateries, you can enjoy a day of retail therapy, or head out on the water of St. Joseph Bay for a refreshing fishing trip.
For families interested in getting out of town for the day, it's a quick drive to Panama City Beach and Apalachicola, both of which offer something for all ages. Beach living is at its peak here, so it's easy to enjoy a casual adventure by hiking Cape San Blas park (previously St. Joseph Peninsula State Park), or simply catching rays on the private, uncrowded beaches.
