Quaint Cottage - Two Blocks from the Bay

If you're looking for a place to relax, be close to fishing or to play Pickleball, look no further. This three bedroom/2 bath property is completely renovated on the interior. The home is located in beautiful Port St. Joe, two blocks from the bay with wonderful sunsets. You can walk to downtown and enjoy wonderful restaurants including Peppers, Sisters Bistro or Sand Dollar Café, among others. You are a 5 minute drive to St Joe Beach or 10 minutes to Mexico Beach with gorgeous white sand beaches. Pickleball courts are located at Frank Pate Park, Salinas Park and Mexico Beach. Frank Pate Park is on the bay and a five-minute walk from the cottage.

Large back yard is fenced with a screened porch to relax on during those warm summer evenings. The parking pad in front will easily accommodate 4 cars or a boat and 1-2 cars. You are only 2-3 blocks from Frank Pate Park which includes a 4-wide boat launch facility. This is a quiet neighborhood with quick access to downtown and also a 20 minute drive to Cape San Blas. The Cape is part of a peninsula separating St Joseph Bay from the Gulf of Mexico and is worth a visit.

Absolutely "No Smoking" allowed inside the house.

Great House!

Booked this house to stay in while down in Port St Joe on a fishing trip with Perfect Cast Charters. Checkin was very easy, house was very clean, plenty of space, and will keep this place in mind when we come back.

Beachy Retreat

This amazing home is central to everything you could ever want in a beach vacation home. Walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants…and easy drives to the sands. Paqq Home has comfortable beds and fresh clean towels, Big showers, and well stocked kitchen. The host is very responsive. We didn’t have any problems during our stay.

Weekend get away

This house was fantastic! In the heart of Port Saint Joe. It was so welcoming and for a family it’s perfect! You have everything you need. The house was so clean, bigger than the pictures show and we had the best time. I would recommend this home if you are looking for down time but close to shops and restaurants. We can’t wait to come back and visit family. We will be back!

Perfect vacation property

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at the Quaint Cottage. We’ve rented numerous properties through VRBO, and this one is our favorite. The cottage is spacious and comfortable, and it’s close to everything. You won’t be disappointed.

Boating trip to the Port St Joe

The house was great! Had everything we needed and the location was perfect. We kept the boat at the marina and the water was a short walk down the road. Easy to walk to everything. We used the boat to go to the beach so we had no issues. We will stay here again.

The owl house

This is our second stay at this property. Very clean property with everything we needed. The area is quiet and it is walking distance to the shops in town. Our favorite restaurant is the KrazyFish. Very nice area away from Disney. A big plus for us. We had a great time.

This is my second time staying here and it’s a great low key place close to everything. The only “complaint” I have is the master bedroom mattress needs to be replaced. Other than that everything was perfect!
