Beautiful views of the bay and Cape San Blas are complimented by stained glass, antique nautical décor, and ocean art with both screen and open porches. This pet friendly home has a fenced area for Fido and the kids, covered paved parking for four and has all living areas on the second floor with the bonus of a first floor 1/2 bathroom. (No running up and down 3 flights of stairs during your stay.)
Two beach chairs, towels and a sand beach mat are provided along with a wagon and rolling cooler to allow you an easy walk through the dunes to the water. Sitting on a premier scallop hatchery, St. Joseph Bay, with large Redfish, Trout and Whiting caught within view of the house's gorgeous Ibis weathervane, allows you to enjoy the water without driving to the beach.
After enjoying a walk along the 2.5 miles of conservation beach with nice shells, cook your catch on the grill and enjoy the sunset from the porch of this western facing home. Very secluded and yet only 5 miles midway between the cities of Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach. This home completed in 2018 will be available for rent starting March 24, 2018.

About Craig A. Fletcher
The owners live 60 miles north of the property and have an apartment at the beach. They, along with their young daughter, come often to the coast and are wiling to provide a myriad of personal services including shopping, escorted visits to historical areas and boating on the bay. These services, along with additional bicycles, an electric scooter, crab traps, items for toddlers (access denial gates, toys, swing, small bed /crib, changing table, toddler bicycle ride along trailer, ride-on toys, and booster chair) are able to be leased at very reasonable rates. Rental information on these items is available from the owners.

Why Craig A. Fletcher chose Port St. Joe
If you want crowds, beaches devoid of shells, walks across busy streets with honking cars and no view of the water, this is not the house for you. This home finished in 2018 not only has a gorgeous view of the water with over four miles of St.Joe Bay bike trail right out front. Beautiful décor compliments the home with all living areas on ONE FLOOR. There is plenty of wooded areas to wander through and pick herbs, berries and vegetables growing in this pristine area. (Owner will show you what is edible.) This one-of-a-kind home also offers a significant discount for visitors that post unique pictures on the annual Ava's Beach House "Bragging Board."
What makes this House unique
Located on a quiet cul-de-sac with over 4 miles of secluded beach, this home offers the bicycle enthusiast an opportunity to daily see the gulf views along the Bay Bicycle Trail. Tie up your boat out front of the property and there is a screened porch for those times that the Florida bugs try to invade your sunset watch in the evening.

Beautiful new home near the bay!
Location
Our house is located midway between Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach, FL on Saint Joseph Bay. The area is known for beautiful beaches, a laidback atmosphere and there are numerous bicycle trails including the 4.5 mile Bay Bike Trail that our house is located on. Pristine conservation beaches with limited public access points provide opportunities for finding nice shells in this part of "Old Florida." A fishing pier in Mexico Beach is complimented by antique shopping in Port St. Joe (PSJ)and Apalachicola. Party boats and kayaks are available for rent in PSJ and there are numerous restaurants in several beach communities. We are only 19 miles from Tyndale AFB Main Gate and 100 miles from Tallahassee, the Florida capitol.
