Tips

port St. Joe runs

on Eastern time!

take your boat (or rental) to the tip of the state park for a perfect beach day!

leash law: all pets on public property must be leashed. officers can issue a citation!

George core park by the lighthouse is a perfect spot to play in the bay while the sun goes down!

don't forget bug spray!!

Austrailan gold tanning oil also
works for no-see-ums!

leave no trace: no beach gear can be left on the beaches overnight.

if you make a fire, all debris must be removed and all holes filled in.

a bonfire on the beach makes for a perfect night in our opinion!

If the fish aren't biting...st. joe shrimp company has the best variety of fresh seafood.

We had a great, short stay! Karisa was very prompt with
communication and was just a text away if we needed her.
The house was wonderful, clean, and the beds were very
comfortable. I have back problems, so the beds are always
the first thing I notice =) Our pup had a great time, as well!
- Jessica F.

This is a perfect place to stay in Port St Joe! My husband
and I loved it. Extremely clean, spacious, plenty of parking
if you have a boat. We have a pontoon and was able to rinse
it under the patio and not far from boat launch. Great
place for a family trip! We highly recommend and will
definitely be back. ☺️ -Shannon E.

This property is about as good as you can get for a rental. The
descriptions on the site are extremely accurate. The place is
extraordinarily clean. The location is excellent five minutes from
beautiful beaches as well as from downtown Port Saint Joe. The
property has everything you will possibly need including towels for
the beach and all the kitchen amenities you would want. There are
two large porches on the front and back of the property which
allowed for mostly outdoor living at the property.I would highly
recommend this rental to anyone who enjoys the coast. It truly
was a perfect getaway - Heather F.

You will not be disappointed staying here. The living room
furniture and the beds were the best in over twenty years
of renting in the area. The sunsets from the front porch
were awesome and the wildlife noises from the natural
settings at night were mesmerizing. There is everything in
the kitchen you need to cook whatever you desire and it
was just an awesome experience. Thank you Karisa for
sharing your house and being an awesome host! - Suzi B.
