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.

Molly
We enjoyed our stay as we do every year! We will be back!
Manager's Response
Molly, its so wonderful to hear from return guests! We love being of service and your host for Petes Paradise. This home certainly has gained popularity because of its location being so laid back and yet within a short distance of the beautiful St Joe beach. We are looking forward to seeing you all back again next year!
Wonderful get away!
Melissa
My best friend and I go to St. Joe Beach every year so we already love the location. This rental home was perfect for us! Updated, clean, spacious... Check out was super easy. If the yard was fenced and they would allow pets (I didn't look to see since I wasn't bringing them this year), I could see us renting this place every year! But certainly for any of our pet-free vacations, I will be searching for this one again!! I cannot recommend this rental enough!
Manager's Response
THANK YOU, Melissa for the outstanding review! Same goes here, you all were the best guests and we look forward for your return! Be sure to check out all of our properties, for some may have other accommodations you might be interest in.

A Great Place to Stay
Ashton
Really enjoyed this property and experience! My husband and our 6 year old had a nice four night stay. We sadly had a lot of rain during our trip but the covered area out back made up for it! The first day we loaded up the provided wagon (which is an awesome perk) but quickly learned the short walk to the beach became a lot longer with little feet…not a problem at all though, we just shifted to loading up the trunk with our beach supplies the next day and were on the sand within 3 minutes of walking out the door, driving, and unloading the car. Can’t beat that! Great property, great amenities, great price.
Manager's Response
Thank you for the positive review! We are so happy you enjoyed your time with us. We look forward to a return visit and the opportunity to host you once again. It was indeed our pleasure.

Pete's paradise
Brenda
last minute spring break trip. the was the only house i could find near port st joe. it was perfect. my daughters and i felt completely secure. it is bigger than it seems in the pictures. it is brand new and beautiful. every thing was spotlessly clean. we only had one thing to ask Amy about and she responded immediately. the place is set back away from all the noise and traffic. but it is right in the middle of Mexico Beach and Port St Joe. we loved the area. Unfortunately, it stormed almost the entire time we were there. but the home has cards and games to play. plus, we streamed movies to the tv. the kitchen is great. i loved the gas stove. we journeyed out and got groceries to cook a little when we werent running down to PSJ for fun and shopping. the bathrooms, especially and master, are beautiful and super clean. you will think that you are first renters. the storm let up almost every night and we could go out on the beach and chase the sun. one afternoon they left behind a double rainbow. we spent the last afternoon and evening on Cape San Blas which is a short drive. i went with my 3 daughters, 2 in college, and 1 in highschool, and we all had plenty of space. hope to stay here again when my husband can join us. the place is great for family.
Thank you!
Coach
Thank you! We enjoyed the visit to the beach, restaurants, and the friendliness of the locals. We met many nice people from everywhere. It was nice to build a bonfire on the beach. Loved the low country boil!

Beach Fun!

We had a great time enjoying the beaches, making sand castles, shelling, kayaking and paddleboarding. We loved all the marine life.
Best Time Ever!
Castro
We celebrated our daughter's birthday at the home and loved it! I love everything at this home! We found everything we needed in the kitchen and prepared all of our meals. We went to the bars around the coast and had the best time ever! We will definitely be back!
