About this property

“Paradise Redefined – Stunning Newly Remodeled Beach-House Retreat!”

'A PERFECT PLACE FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO SPEND TIME AT THE BEACH. THE HOUSE HAS EVERYTHING YOU WOULD NEED. JUST BRING YOUR CLOTHES AND FOOD. YOU WILL HAVE TOTAL RELAXATION AND FUN!
This recently renovated and beautifully furnished private home is located on a quiet street across from the beach. Has large yard with room to park boat/RV. House has outdoor shower and screened front porch overlooking tropical landscaped front yard. Huge open livingroom with 12 foot vaulted ceilings, tile everywhere except for the newly carpeted bedrooms. Master bath has sunken tub and separate shower. Kitchen has everything possible. Deck off back of house with gas grill and over looks fenced backyard. Storage shed in back has all necessary beach supplies, wagon, stroller, coolers, chairs, fishing poles, umbrellas and beach cart. We also now have 2 kayak's to rent.

St. Joe Beach is a dedicated beach and there are no high-rise Condos. The beach is sugar white sand and crystal clear water. There is plenty of sea and shore wildlife due to the fact that this beach is such a secret to many.

House is situated between Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach and both offer full service marina's with public boat ramps.

Dining is within walking distance. Shipwreck is with in five minute walk and plenty of other places to eat within a 5 to 10 minutes drive.

Annual family vaca

Beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had 6 adults and 2 kids and plenty of room. Having a washer/dryer is a must for beach vacations. This property did t disappoint. Close proximity to the beach and restaurants.

Great for a family that likes to cook and eat together.

If you enjoy time with your family and like cooking and spending time around the dinner table this is a great place to stay. The wide open kitchen is with cooking appliances and the large dining table and bar will accommodate a full house and then some.

This home was a great place for our family to stay while on vacation. The home was clean and the location was reasonably close to a nice public beach access. There was fenced in back yard where our dogs could play off leash.

Excellent Choice for Beach Vacation

This property is amazing! It’s located on a very quiet street with a short walk to the beach. The home was immaculately clean and stocked with anything you might need. Our host was very helpful when we had a question. We highly recommend this property for your vacation! We will be renting again for our next beach vacation!

Great little hideaway

We had a few mishaps, just makes the stories more interesting!, but everything was resolved quickly. It is a good walk from the beach, the golf cart is great for hauling back and forth. There was a lot of thought put into this rental to make a great vacation for any visitors. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

This listing was spot on. When I say the owner has covered everything, they have everything covered. Yes, it's 2 1/2 blocks from the beach, and there is a golf cart available for rent. Storage building with chairs and floats, Grill, and well-stocked kitchen. Our family will defiantly stay here again. The owner answered all my questions in a timely manner. Great stay and St Joe Beach was beautiful and not crowded. Can't wait to come back.

Awesome

Maria's place was great! Her home was stocked with everything you think you might need. She really means it when she says just bring your clothes and food. Very spacious, stayed cool inside the whole time without any adjustments to the thermostat and nice neighbors. The beach experience was the best one yet. Not crowded at all no matter the time of day.

Great!

We had a wonderful time this week! The house is very spacious and had everything we needed. It’s a 3 block walk to the beach. It was hot but doable! There were more people on the beach than the last time we were in this area five years ago but you still have plenty of elbow room. The only problem is the week went by too fast! We love this area and can’t wait till we can get back!

Beach vacation

The house was in a good location close enough to the beach for an easy walk or very short drive. Having the beach chairs, wagon, umbrellas, ect onsite was a big plus and saved us from having to pack all that extra stuff for our group. The beds are ok comfort wise, and if you moved most objects on any counter you could see where things dont always get cleaned thoroughly. If you have small children (2 or less, we had our 9 month old) then you need to be really careful because the house has some raised tile with sharp edges (fire place)in the living room that was a constant scare for a crawling/learning to stand child. Overall it was a decent stay. The neighborhood and neighbors were very friendly.

Great Stay

It was close to the beach, maybe 3 blocks. So. very close, and they had a golf cart so you basically just drive down the street and in 5 minutes you're swimming. In addition to the beach creatures, I also enjoyed the frogs, turtles, and raccoons that came out at night. There is construction going on still in the area but if your looking for a quiet beach vacation this is the place. Plus, panama city beach is about 45 minutes away if you need that other stuff. The house was stocked and we didnt need to bring anything but our personal stuff. The owner called and checked in on us the first night. The whole family enjoyed the stay.

Great place and comfortable

The home was great but for two issues 1. The closet in the bedroom had a stinky smell that spreads across if AC is not running. 2. The first bathroom door was not locking, so whoever using the bathroom was not feelojgnt much comfortable. If the twoinor issues are taken care off, this is a great place to stay and owner was very prompt in responding to question's

Oldie but a Goodie

This is an older mobile home that is kept very clean. It was comfortable and had EVERYTHING we needed and more. I have stayed in high-end homes/condos that were not as well stocked. The home owner has thought of everything. Check-in was a breeze. We walked the two blocks to and from the beach with no problem. There was ample parking for the family and the boat. My only suggestion would be a 10:30 check out time. Packing up everything and getting the kids out the door by 9 was challenging. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again.

Summertime Teachers

Our small group of teachers always try to take a few days in the summer to spend time together outside of the school. We really enjoyed where we stayed. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. I rented the golf cart but didn’t realize that it couldn’t cross Hwy 98, so we never used it. All of the beach stuff is stored in a locked storage building. Make sure you know how to use a rotary lock. Make sure you read the total lock code access instructions so you know where to find out how to get into all of the locked up areas. Management was easy to get ahold of and was great at answering questions. Again, great place. We would stay there again!
