Private Pool & Hot Tub - Game Room - Sleeps 16 - Half Block to Beach
Welcome to Nautical Blue — a spacious, beautifully decorated beach retreat in the peaceful community of St. Joe Beach, just half a block from the sugary white sands of the Florida Panhandle.
With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and room for up to 16 guests, this home was designed with families and groups in mind. Whether you're here to relax or play, Nautical Blue delivers on both.
The Outdoor Space: Cool off in your private pool, unwind in the hot tub, and grill out on the balcony under the glow of gorgeous gas lanterns. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes beach days even easier.
The Game Room: The first level is pure fun — shoot pool, play ping pong, throw darts, or challenge the kids to one of 60 classic arcade games including Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. Rainy day? No problem.
The Bedrooms: Two master suites each feature a queen bed, private en suite with double vanity and walk-in shower, and French door balcony access. Two bunk rooms with built-in triple bunk beds are perfect for kids. A first-floor queen bedroom offers easy pool access for guests who prefer to skip the stairs.
The Living & Dining Area: The third floor impresses with an open floor plan, oversized windows, and two comfortable living areas. The fully equipped kitchen seats up to 7 at the counter and the dining table seats 8 — plenty of room for the whole group to gather.
Beach Ready From Day One: No need to pack or shop — we've got you covered with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, bags, a wagon, cooler, and beach toys included with every stay.

Great house in a great location. The house has tons of space and so many great, thoughtful additions. There was a beach wagon, plenty of beach chairs and toys, all the beach towels and house towels you could ever need. There were also plenty of 'extras' like detergent, trash bags, spices, foil, etc. The reasons I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was because all of the queen beds were very uncomfortable, there were a lot of light bulbs burnt out, and a few things broken that could use fixed. The host was very responsive and got us a new battery for the pool door alarm very quickly when we brought it to their attention. Overall a great house, just could use new mattresses and some maintenance fixes. The game room, hot tub, and pool/back yard were all amazing.
Nautical Blue was great for our extended family vacation. The beach was just a short walk and so pretty. We all had a great time at the beach and having family time.
Beautiful home. Great location. Easy access to the beach and everything you need provided. Bonfires on the beach a great way to end the day. Plus our dogs loved chasing sand crabs.
The beach, the community, the area, the home -all are absolutely perfect for a quiet and restful multi family getaway. Spacious and well-maintained home full of thoughtful and generous touches. We’ll be back!
Loved the July 4th fireworks on our own semi private beach
Very low key- quiet family beacH

Nice home
Lovely home, beach views, elevator needed!!!! My son in law slipped and fell on the polished tile bathroom floor. King beds would be great! The bunk rooms difficult for adults. Loved the pool and hot tub!
The house was just as advertised & the location is perfect. Kids & adults of all ages thoroughly enjoyed the game room, pool & hot tub. The beach was beautiful and easily accessible. A fantastic time was had by all. An elevator or stair lift would have made it perfect as the stairs were not for the Senior Citizens or those with mobility difficulties.
There were 5 of us and our dog, Ramona! We had the best time and the place was huge! Loved the 3rd floor kitchen with the living rooms on either side! We enjoyed coffee on the 3rd deck each morning and the walk to the beach was quick and easy for us all. Thank you again for a wonderful experience and we have already booked it again for next Summer!
Great house, very accommodating for our family. The location is amazing. The host was very accommodating and helpful with quick responses to our questions. We highly recommend this property for your next family vacation. The kids as well as some of us old kids loved the game room
My friends and I were looking for an escape from school and the loudness of other beaches and found this gem. At first we weren’t looking forward to going because we had no idea where is it however, Port Saint Joe is a lovely town and just the atmosphere we were looking for. The beach was amazing as well as the house. Would definitely recommend staying here and we would love to come back!
Our family meets up once a year for a week at the beach. We’ve tried many locations to meet our needs and budget and the nautical blue house far exceeded our previous attempts to have a be together as a family, but still manage to relax and have our own space.
We really loved the hot tub, pool/ping pong table, arcade games, and foosball table. The location is a short walk to a very private, beautiful beach. The stairs are no joke (and kitchen/living area is on third floor) so keep this in mind if you're traveling with older relatives. No shower soap or shampoo so bring your own. The kitchen was well-stocked.
The family lived the location to the beach! It was easy to get to beach! The pool a
Was definitely an added Bonus! We loved having the pool! The house was so well set up for a family gathering! The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook for a big family. The whole house was stocked with everything you need n the kids had so much fun with the game room. The towels, beach equipment
We are a family of 11 & never felt crowded! The house was immaculate & comfortable. We had several storms during our stay but we kept busy with all the entertainment provided. Only negative was the stairs! The location was perfect. It was only steps away from the beach! We will definitely stay here again!!

About the host
Hosted by Sherry French
Travis & Sherry French reside in north Florida not far from St. Joe Beach. They have 2 daughters and 5 grandkids. They love spending time with their family.
Why they chose this property
We love the area of St Joe Beach, Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe. The locals are very friendly, the beaches are beautiful with small crowds, the restaurants are great and so are the mom and pop shops. This location is amazing for outdoor activities and site seeing.
What makes this property unique
Some of the unique benefits of this home are the large balconies with seating and ocean views, private pool, and game room. We especially love the top floor where our entire family can hang out comfortably and our grandkids have plenty of room to play.
