Area Attractions:

Port St. Joe blends small-town Southern character with easy access to some of the Gulf Coast's most beautiful natural landscapes. The historic downtown offers locally owned shops, galleries, and restaurants along Reid Avenue, where visitors can browse for art, antiques, and handmade goods before sitting down to a plate of fresh oysters or grilled grouper.

Nature lovers will find plenty to explore just outside of town. St. Joseph Peninsula State Park is consistently ranked among the best beaches in the country, featuring miles of undeveloped shoreline, coastal dunes, and pine flatwoods teeming with wildlife. The park's bay side is a top destination for scalloping in season, and its trails offer excellent birdwatching, especially during migration. Port St. Joe also serves as a convenient launching point for boat tours, offshore fishing charters, and paddling trips through the calm waters of St. Joseph Bay.

This house is beautiful with a stunning view! It was absolutely spotless and perfect for our vacation!

The house was perfect and provided plenty of room for our family to spread out. It is situated directly across Hwy 98 from the beach and there is great view of the ocean from all balconies. The neighborhood behind the house is nice for getting your steps in and afterwards you can enjoy a dip in the private pool. We enjoyed local restaurants and visiting the downtown area. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

We had an awesome time at the White Whale. The beach access is just right across the road. The private pool was a huge bonus. All rooms were clean and the bathrooms had plenty of towels. The kitchen was well stocked. It was also very helpful having having the baby gate for the stairs. Definitely will return.

The house was wonderful. The view was wonderful. Met our expectations 100%. We were very pleased with our stay and the location and the facility itself. Space our only issue was that the lock on the door did not work the entire time we were there. The code device was not able to be activated. So we had to do some juggling using the elevator access instead. We did call to have it addressed, but it was not repaired. And we didn’t have any further communication on the subject. This did not impede the joy of our stay and it did not impact the quality of the house.

This home is fabulous, but be aware, you will not know until you rent this property that they will give you one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, one dishwasher pod and one garbage bag for an entire week with a full house of people. When we started using the dishes in the kitchen we found out that most of the pots, pan and cookware were put away dirty as well as a good portion of the silverware and kitchen utensils were dirty as well as if someone just put them away when they were done using them. House was dirty when we got in, sand on the floors and food in the corners and both the outdoor garbage cans were entirely full. Make sure when you get here to make a run to the grocery store for essentials like foil, storage bags, spices, oil or anything of that type, as there is nothing like that in the house for cooking or storing food or any other things of that type. Make sure to go to Dollar General as the Piggly Wiggly in Port St. Joe is one of the most expensive grocery stores I have ever been in recently. Pool was nice, but there is not nighttime lighting in the pool or outdoor lighting around the pool. They do not provide any pool towels and if you have a full house plan on doing some laundry, but there will not be any items provided to do that either. Felt like a portion of my vacation was finding out what they house didn't have instead of being able to enjoy my vacation. Definitely won't be back unless something changes.

This was our first trip to the Saint Joe beach area and this house did not disappoint! The property was spotless, well appointed and had room for the whole family.

The beach was easily accessible and the sunsets are gorgeous. Ocean views from every floor was a bonus. My Granddaughter loved swimming in the pool.

Great value! Very private area. The house was well maintained and in really good shape. Most of the food trucks were closed while we were there. I would definately recommend if you are looking for a less crowded beach trip. The only issue we had was that the elevator didn't work and it's quite a haul up...especially to the third floor. It would have been nice to have had the elevator for the move in and move out.

Great beach getaway: The house was well stocked with many amenities, including everything we needed and then some. Really enjoyed the short walk to the beach and we used the cart to help tow beach gear back and forth. The beach itself was great as it was in a more secluded area which was great and partly why we booked. We did have an issue with Vrbo and the booking itself, but that has nothing to do with the property itself. Recommend booking this wonderful property outside of Vrbo
