NEWLY RENOVATED Luxury Bayfront 6 BR/5.5 BA Home

The white Heron presents our Jewel of the Forgotten Coast, The White Heron, unveiled with a Southern Contemporary Lifestyle. This home was originally built Circa the 1920s and has now been transformed into a One-of-a-Kind Luxurious Bayfront home, in the heart of Port St Joe. This unique 6 bedroom/5.5 bath, has it all for the perfect tropical beach oasis vacation. Which includes a beautiful private Bay Front beach, spa/hot tub, and large private pool for your family's enjoyment. Relish by the beachside fire pit, along with the unstoppable panoramic sunsets every night.

Come fall in love with the “Old Florida” and recharge your soul while rejuvenating your spirit.

As you walk into the house you will enter a cook's dream, which includes: a large gourmet kitchen with the perfect layout. The first thing you notice is the Bayfront views, 10-foot Quartz Island, and pull-up bar seating for 7 which is perfect for the entire family. Guests can gather together in the kitchen and savor cooking with the high-end LG 6-burner gas cooktop with double oven, Bosch top-loading microwave drawer, large Kitchen Aid French-door refrigerator with ice maker and filtered water with freezer drawer below, double sink with the garbage disposal, separate prep sink in the island and LG dishwasher. The kitchen is open to the family room with breathtaking views of the bay and plenty of seating to enjoy movies, games, or music on the 72" Samsung Smart TV.

The Dining area is just off the kitchen and the family room has a large "Pottery Barn" dining table that boasts bay views and seats 12. The vintage white brick walls and the "Restoration Hardware" buffet create a nice casual elegant feel. Additionally, Bayfront dining for 10 is located outside on the patio, where you will be up close and personal with the best sunsets you will ever see. There is an extensive entertainment room with a fireplace, pool table, dartboard, along with plenty of board games. There is extra dining along the window bar that opens to the outside that seats 8 as well. The bar features live edge window seals, made from sinker cypress trees from the Dead Lakes in our area with a dry bar with beverage fridges. How perfect for the entire family to have fun!

Just off the game room is a room that feels like a private getaway with 2 Queen built-in bunk beds with breathtaking water views and French doors that open to the outdoor living space.

The home has two complete master suites. The main level master bedroom has a day bed included with a trundle, tons of closet space, a Samsung TV
complete with a ROKU, and a massive master bath with a rain shower head. This whole master sleeps 4. The quaint hall guest room has a queen bed, and sitting bench, with a walk-in closet. The downstairs hall bath has custom tiled walls and floors with a bronze double-headed 8-foot glassed shower. The upstairs has a grand hall with a large full bath, glassed double head shower, and custom double vanity. The single-bed bunk room sleeps 5 and comes with blackout shades for comfort. The upstairs bayfront guest room has a queen bed and sitting area along with an old-fashioned fireplace. The upstairs master enjoys bay views with a king bed and has an en-suite bath that is bright and airy with double vanity, and a glassed shower.

The outdoor covered living/kitchen space includes everything the outdoor could have: A complete lounging area with an outdoor wicker patio sectional sofa, and coffee table. You will appreciate cooking in the large outdoor kitchen complete with a built-in gas grill with a Single burner perfect for a large pot for a low country boil, a triple sink, a built-in icemaker, "Green Egg" for smoking, huge ceiling fans to keep the air moving, large teak dining table with seating for 10, along with 10 additional stacking chairs. While you are keeping cool under the pavilion, the others can be swimming in a built-in pool, enjoying the large Hot Tub, or lounging in the sun.
There is a king-size covered cabana bed perfect for curling up with a book and watching the boats go by.

Conveniently located right by the pool is a complete bathroom with a separate outdoor shower. The entire outdoor space has ambient lighting from the pavilion to the uplighting of the palm trees down by the beach.

Revel in your time at the private beach while you roast marshmallows at the beachfront fire pit; relax while listening to the peaceful sound of the bay and the shorebirds. Need a little more action? Grab your fishing pole and wade fish out front to catch redfish and trout. Walk along the shoreline and find seashells or small crabs. If you're feeling adventurous take out one of our free kayaks or paddleboards right out to the bay. The kids can play at the shore in the calm shallow water, explore the tidal islands, look at small fish in the shallow waters or watch the dolphins play out in distance. If that isn't what you are looking for, you can grab one of our custom "#Livethebeachlife" bicycles and cruise the bay bike path to the lighthouse or rent a golf cart and cruise around town.

The fun of being in the heart of Port St Joe is walking or biking to the downtown area where you will find amazing restaurants to enjoy your favorite drink, listen to live music and eat the freshest seafood you could find. You can also find yourself shopping in our boutiques… or grabbing an ice cream while you walk around downtown. The relaxed old fashion nature will warm your heart and relax your spirit. With a short drive to the Gulf Coast public beaches, where you can enjoy walking the beach for miles. Less than ⅛th mile to tennis courts and playgrounds. Port St Joe is golf cart friendly throughout the downtown and the entire community. This historic home features a large oversized carport along with a concrete pad outside perfect for boat or RV parking and additional parking for 8 to 10 cars. Local boat ramp less than ⅛th a mile away for launching boats and jet skis. There is absolutely something for everyone.

Absolutely Perfect

We had 4 moms and many teens with us and every single one of us agreed it was the best spot we had every stayed. The hot tub was fabulous, the outdoor cooking was so fun and the sunsets were like none we had ever seen. The teens loved exploring the bay and being walking distance from downtown shops and restaurants. Having two washers and dryers was super convenient. Everyone had plenty of space and privacy. The property manager was super responsive. Parking was plentiful. I seriously cannot think of one negative thing to say about the property!

Fantastic for all ages. Host was incredibly responsive to any questions or needs. There was enough space for our group of 14 people and we never felt crowded. The kitchen, bedrooms were amazing and it felt like we were all by ourselves on our little oasis. We’ve booked for 2026 and are excited to return. Thank you Caprise for being an awesome host.

Breathtaking!!!

We booked this house for my extended family to enjoy over the 4th of July week. This included of 9x adults, 3x teenagers, and 3x kids under 10. The house was very accommodating for our group and had something fun to do for EVERYONE. We spent several days just staying on the property to enjoy what it had to offer... whether it was morning coffee under the sun, relaxing in the pool, kayaking in the bay, playing pool/darts in the game room, enjoying dinner under the patio (with a phenomenal outdoor kitchen at that), or roasting marshmallows over a night fire. In addition to that it is just a couple blocks away from downtown Port St Joe that had several restaurants/shops to enjoy. The tide changes would bring the water quite a ways from the house in the afternoons/evenings... so we simply made a 15-20 minute drive to either Cape San Blas or Mexico Beach for days where we wanted a traditional beach experience. As an added bonus we were able to enjoy a spectacular fireworks show right from our own back yard on the 4th of July as the city was firing them off from a pier right by the house. I'd highly recommend this property for anyone looking to do a trip with several families of varying ages. There is nothing else like it in Port St Joe!

We would Definitely Do It Again!

When a trip to Mexico fell through to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our entire family (2 sons and their families) we found the White Heron in Port St.Joe. We had 11 people in our group and the house proved to be more accommodating and fun than we had imagined when renting it. Even though the weather wasn’t particularly warm, members of our group enjoyed the various activities that were included with the house: bike riding, kayaking in the bay, swimming or hot tubbing multiple times a day, having several pool table tournaments, and watching movies on the big screen in the living room. Every single person had good sleeping arrangements. The house has been tastefully refurbished and we found it sparkling clean when we arrived. Pretty much every cooking utensil and pan one would need in the kitchen was available (though there were no condiments of any sort) including two coffee pots and a Keurig coffee maker. There are two new LG washers and dryers so keeping up with the laundry was not an issue for a large group. You should bring your own hairdryer and hair conditioner as none was provided. Extra paper products for an extended stay would be useful too. It was a treat having Christmas Day dinner outside on the deck with the incredible view of palm trees and the bay. As the person responsible for renting the house, I appreciated Caprise’s quick and friendly responses to all my questions. We all agreed that we would rent this house again without any heist

Our Favorite Family Vacation Home

Through the years we have stayed in many vacation homes throughout Florida. This is hands down our favorite and deserves its 5 star rating. We have 14 in our family and you would think it would be cramped in the common areas, kitchen, living room, etc. Nope. Plenty of space while we were all together. Home is very nice, backyard incredible. Caprise was a pleasure to work with and gave us excellent recomnendations on area restaurants. Highly recommend Cat 5 seafood. Shrimp and fish all fresh and excellent. This home is private and location is perfect. We will stay here again

Us adults loved the lay out and openness of the house and amazing our door area for hanging out and cooking. Guys loved the access to the water to be able to fish everyday and the easy and close access to the marina down the street for the boat. Enough parking for our boat and 4 large vehicles.

About the host

Hosted by Caprise Price

Host profile image
I am a Florida native and as a child, vacationed in the Port St Joe area with my family and friends. Through the years, I've been drawn back to the Forgotten Coast and the rich, yet simple lifestyle this area offers. I've lived here for the past 17 years while raising my family and building my real estate team. I hope you love the area and this home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Our family has lived in the area for 17 years and this home is one of a kind for our area. There are only two homes on the Bay Front in Port St Joe, in the heart of town. The original home was built in the early 1900's and was owned for generations by the Costin family. It has been lovingly restored and is spectacular and vibrant once again. This bay is as clear, blue and green as the Gulf and is the best place to play, sun, fish, kayak, paddle board and even watch the fireworks. Let me leave the sunsets for last, it does not get any better from this location. They are like art work in the sky every night.

What makes this property unique

Rare Bayfront in the heart of town brand new renovation with all the old Florida charm and added modern conveniences, along with the best views of the sunset you have ever seen. Great outdoor patio area with fire-pit, outdoor dining with an in-ground pool and Jacuzzi. Play on the private beach and free kayaks and paddle-boards for all to use. Lots of interior space with dart board & pool table and space for lounging. For the chef, enjoy the state of the art gourmet kitchen open to the dining space. Something for everyone to enjoy.
