Quaint Cottage - Two Blocks from the Bay

If you're looking for a place to relax, be close to fishing or to play Pickleball, look no further. This three bedroom/2 bath property is completely renovated on the interior. The home is located in beautiful Port St. Joe, two blocks from the bay with wonderful sunsets. You can walk to downtown and enjoy wonderful restaurants including Peppers, Sisters Bistro or Sand Dollar Café, among others. You are a 5 minute drive to St Joe Beach or 10 minutes to Mexico Beach with gorgeous white sand beaches. Pickleball courts are located at Frank Pate Park, Salinas Park and Mexico Beach. Frank Pate Park is on the bay and a five-minute walk from the cottage.

Large back yard is fenced with a screened porch to relax on during those warm summer evenings. The parking pad in front will easily accommodate 4 cars or a boat and 1-2 cars. You are only 2-3 blocks from Frank Pate Park which includes a 4-wide boat launch facility. This is a quiet neighborhood with quick access to downtown and also a 20 minute drive to Cape San Blas. The Cape is part of a peninsula separating St Joseph Bay from the Gulf of Mexico and is worth a visit.

Absolutely "No Smoking" allowed inside the house.

I have stayed in a lot of rentals and a lot of VRBOs, but hands down, this is probably the cleanest home I have ever stayed in!! Not just clean, but it was also well stocked with (almost) everything you need for the kitchen, plenty of linens and comfortable beds! Check in and check out was seamless and the location was awesome. Just minutes from the downtown shops and just a short drive to Mexico Beach and Cape San Blas. 10/10 recommend. My only suggestion would be to add an air fryer and install a taller toilet in the spare bathroom, because it’s rough on (old) long legged people!!

Beachy Retreat

This amazing home is central to everything you could ever want in a beach vacation home. Walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants…and easy drives to the sands. Paqq Home has comfortable beds and fresh clean towels, Big showers, and well stocked kitchen. The host is very responsive. We didn’t have any problems during our stay.

This is our second stay at this property. Very clean property with everything we needed. The area is quiet and it is walking distance to the shops in town. Our favorite restaurant is the KrazyFish. Very nice area away from Disney. A big plus for us. We had a great time.

Boating trip to the Port St Joe

The house was great! Had everything we needed and the location was perfect. We kept the boat at the marina and the water was a short walk down the road. Easy to walk to everything. We used the boat to go to the beach so we had no issues. We will stay here again.

Weekend get away

This house was fantastic! In the heart of Port Saint Joe. It was so welcoming and for a family it’s perfect! You have everything you need. The house was so clean, bigger than the pictures show and we had the best time. I would recommend this home if you are looking for down time but close to shops and restaurants. We can’t wait to come back and visit family. We will be back!

Rawbar

The property was good, clean, neat and roomy. Not sure why but ran out of hot water in a hurry. My only problem was with the use of the TV. I know if all I wanted was a TV I could have stayed at home. But this was UGA's first game of the season and there was no way I could find to watch it. There were no directions on how to use the media. All you could watch was old movies and cartoons, or try and find a bar that had seats available. LOL

IMMACULATELY clean and great location!

This is THE cleanest rental I have ever stayed in, and there is an unbelievable amount of attention paid to detail in this home. For instance, as someone who loves ice, the ice in the ice maker appeared to be a brand new batch - not frostbitten and of questionable date like I’ve seen in other homes’ freezers. They also had plenty of silverware and even cookware, which is rare to find well-stocked in a rental home. While I often worry when taking my 2-year-old to any house other than our own, about what he might get into or break, there weren’t a lot of knick knacks for him to bother with. That was greatly appreciated! The whole house was very comfortable and spacious; the beds were the only downside. The master bedroom mattress is extremely creaky, without much cushion to separate us from the innersprings. I would have gladly slept in one of the other bedrooms, but I prefer a firm sleeping surface, and the 2 add’l bedrooms had very plush mattress toppers. It would have been nice to see a mix of mattress types, so that one could choose the best surface for oneself. The neighborhood was very nice, quiet, and family friendly. We were super close to our family member’s home; he is a local in PSJ. We would definitely consider staying here again, although it would be good to see at least 1 mattress changed so that sleep wasn’t so uncomfortable. But overall, for most people, who are probably less picky about sleep surfaces, this is a 10/10 place!

Fantastic house in a great location. Well stocked for cooking, even had a bag of ice in the freezer for our use. Clean. Wonderful lay out. Fenced yard worked well for our pup. We could sit on the screened porch and watch her run around. Good communications from the owner but we don’t have any issues at all - everything worked. Not sure why it’s not rated a 10/10 because it deserves it.
