The place was clean and had everything that you would need and more available for our use. Jeremy was friendly, available, and went out of his way to help us, (grandparents with grandchildren, 8 & 3), have a wonderful time. Check-In and Check-Out was a breeze, and we would stay here again. Highly Recommend.

We had a wonderful stay! The rental was comfortable, very clean, and had everything we needed. It was fully stocked with essentials plus thoughtful extras like dog bowls, beach chairs, toys, and towels, which made it less for us to pack. The rental is very dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us. Jeremy was a great host—very communicative before and during our stay and shared great places to dine.The location is ideal—less than a 5-minute walk to dog-friendly St. Joe Beach. Even with spring break in full swing in Panama City, SJB was lazy and quiet, making it perfect for relaxing and long walks along the shore.Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable trip. We’d definitely stay here again! Thanks again!

Great place with an affordable price

The place is clean, 2 bedrooms are very roomy, and a large sleeping sofa is quite comfortable. It's located off the beach front but close enough to walk/drive to the beach. We will definitely consider this place when we go to Port St. Joe again.

Great place!

We were very pleased with everything about the apartment, from location, to cleanliness and amenities, to having a kind and helpful host in Jeremy. The best part was being allowed to bring our big dog with us for a dog-friendly beach vacation. We all had a blast! I highly recommend Jeremy’s place for a couple or small family.

Great location! Great Trip!

Jeremy’s place was just as described in the listing: super clean, cozy, 2 blocks from the beach, nice quiet neighborhood. It was the perfect amount of space for my husband, my two teenage daughters and our black lab Harley. Jeremy was an incredibly gracious host, my husband and I enjoyed talking with him and my 13 year old daughter enjoyed spending time with his little girl. We did not feel that our time was encroached upon in any way with Jeremy living upstairs to the unit, he took great care to give us the space we wanted and was personable and engaging when we did see him. The location was perfect, I felt good walking my dog early in the morning throughout the neighborhood, and the beach is literally two blocks away, super easy to walk to and from Jeremy’s home. Shopping for groceries is about 20 min away in downtown Port St Joe, i would say you could basically find anything you’re looking for either at the Piggly Wiggly or the Dollar General Super Store in town. There are plenty of eateries in downtown Port St Joe and great local shops as well. Cape San Blas is about a 30 minute drive from Jeremy’s, we visited the gulf side beaches there several days, all dog friendly beaches which was great for us and our pup! We enjoyed the waves, sun and sand. Jeremy has an outdoor shower which made it super convenient to wash off after a day at the beach before coming inside the house. The two bedrooms were plenty of room for the 4 of us, we definitely used and enjoyed the kitchen to cook in, Jeremy had all of the pots, pans and utensils one would want when cooking, we also used the grill outside for burgers one night and made good use of the washer and drier for our beach towels (he has some towels available for use, we just brought our own) and bathing suits. I would say that Jeremy has put quite a bit of thought into his rental, ensuring his guests have all the comforts of home away from home. He was a great host and would highly recommend his place. We look forward to seeing him and his daughter again!

As Advertised

The property was exactly what the writeup states. Just off 98. Very close to Mexico and St. Joe beaches. Jeremy (host) was VERY communicative, and accomodating, yet gave you your privacy. The property is very clean, with all kinds of thought put into applicances (like a Keurig), and towels and beach paraphanalia. At no time did we experience anything remotely close to an inconvenience, or any presence of neglect or disrepair. In all likelihood, we would not even bother shopping around next visit to the area. We couldn't ask for a better place or host. Thanks, Jeremy!

Great base for area

This was a great base for nearby beach exploring in Cape San Blas, Mexico Beach & Apalachicola. Downtown Port St Joe is less than 10 min drive and has several good restaurants. Everyone we encountered was friendly and efficient. Property is as advertised — comfy beds & plenty of hot water! The space is tastefully decorated and Jeremy was very communicative and helpful! We truly enjoyed our time!

About the host

Hosted by Jeremy Knapp

Host profile image

Welcome to ABSea 123!

I’ve called Gulf County, Florida home since 2011, after living throughout Virginia and growing up near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My daughter and I spend as much time as possible at the beach, soaking in the beautiful waters, peaceful surroundings, and unforgettable sunsets—something we enjoy most nights of the week.

We love to travel when time permits. I am a founder and principal of a group of charter schools in Panama City. Hosting guests has been one of the most rewarding parts of owning this rental, and over the past five years, we’ve built many long-lasting friendships with visitors from all over.

You’ll enjoy as much privacy as you’d like, but we’re alway available and happy to answer questions, offer recommendations, or help with anything you need during your stay. My daughter is also great at entertaining your children or furry friends!

We look forward to welcoming you and helping you enjoy everything the Forgotten Coast has to offer!

Why they chose this property

We purchased the property shortly after Hurricane Michael, drawn by the opportunity to be within eyesight of the beach. At the time, it was in need of a complete renovation, which we thoughtfully and painstakingly began in 2019.

What started as a major project quickly became a labor of love for both my daughter and me. Every detail was chosen with care, with the hope of creating a comfortable, welcoming space for others to enjoy this special area as much as we do.

It is truly our hope that you enjoy your time with us and make wonderful memories during your stay.

What makes this property unique

The house is located in a small, friendly neighborhood where neighbors still talk to one another, children play in the street, and everyone truly knows each other’s name. It’s a peaceful, welcoming area that reflects the relaxed, old-Florida coastal lifestyle.

From the house, you can easily walk to the beach, as well as Dollar General, Exxon gas station, several local food trucks, and the neighborhood bar, making it convenient to enjoy both everyday essentials and local flavor without needing to drive.
