Escape to the perfect vacation destination in the panhandle of Florida along the quiet shores of St. Joe Beach. Discover marine life, load up a variety of unique shells, or build a sandcastle on our white sandy beaches. Be sure to choose a vacation rental home as unique and pristine as our beaches, like Emerald Palms, just a short walk away.
Emerald Palms is a stylish four bedroom beach house with impeccable design and maximum comfort. It's not just a place to stay, but an experience creating lifelong memories. The home's open living area ensures plenty of space to relax and unwind, while cool, artistic touches add character and make Emerald Palms one-of-a-kind. Located on the main floor are a kids' room, a guest room, and a master suite, with the screened porch just outside, perfect for morning coffee or an evening cocktail while listening to the waves roll in.
Above the screened porch, the top-floor sundeck offers a panoramic Gulf view, making it the ideal spot to soak up the sun or stargaze at night.
Under the main house on the ground floor is a separate Mother-in-Law Suite, fully equipped to sleep two with a private kitchenette and full bathroom, a great option for multigenerational groups who still want their own space.
The ground floor also includes an enclosed outdoor shower and an additional sitting area with Gulf views. As a newly constructed home, everything at Emerald Palms is clean and modern, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing stay from the moment you walk in.
St. Joe Beach is a peaceful retreat on Florida's Gulf Coast, known for its soft, sugar-white sands and calm, emerald waters. This uncrowded beach is perfect for sunbathing, beachcombing, and family-friendly swimming. For the adventurous, activities like kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling await, alongside nearby parks for hiking and birdwatching. Visitors can explore charming shops and enjoy fresh seafood, all while experiencing the welcoming local community.
Area Attractions: Less than 10 miles away is Point South Marina, the hub of connecting boaters to the Gulf of Mexico and the Intercoastal Waterway with unparalleled service and amenities. Boat slips are available to rent on a nightly, weekly, or annual basis. Fishing charters and pontoon rentals are also available in case you don't want to deal with the hassle of bringing your own boat. As a member of the Freedom Boat Club, just give them a call and the friendly staff will have your boat fueled up, waiting on the water for you to embark on the day's adventure. Don't forget to stop by their outfitter shop for ice, cold drinks, or sunscreen — they carry brands like Yeti and Toadfish. Reid Avenue in Downtown Port St. Joe is where all the action happens, and it's only about a 10-minute drive. You won't find any big box stores or chain restaurants here. It's only unique, local shops, boutiques, and restaurants for the win. Most times, it's the shop owner who will greet you and help you put together the perfect vacation outfit. Fresh local seafood, fire-grilled pizza, gourmet sandwiches, wood-smoked barbecue, and game-day wings will have your mouth watering. Quench your thirst with one of Pepper's famous margaritas or pour your own craft brew at Red, White and Brew. There is something for the health-conscious as well as those with a nagging sweet tooth. Mexico Beach is within 5 miles and offers a charming array of attractions catering to various interests. This quaint coastal town is renowned for its pristine white sandy beaches, which provide a perfect setting for sunbathing, swimming, and beachcombing. Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy deep-sea and shore fishing, with opportunities to catch a wide range of local fish species. The town also features unique local shops and seafood restaurants that offer the freshest catch of the day, providing a taste of the local flavor. For those interested in history, the Mexico Beach Welcome Center provides insights into the area's past and cultural heritage.

Thank you for the review. Glad you had a perfect stay, found the house clean and nicely updated, and enjoyed the family games and quick walk to the beach. We appreciate the five-star rating and would welcome you back. Have a beachy day!
This rental met all our needs to include and elderly family member with the mother-in-law sweet downstairs. Everything was comfortable and clean! We would highly recommend to anyone!
The house was great for our group! The management group went above and beyond to helpful and were quick to respond. The house is a short walk from the beach. It was very well stocked for all our cooking needs! Our only disappointment was that the listing stated the house is a 2 minute walk from a local restaurant, and that was not the case.

Thank you for your 4-star review. We're glad the house worked well for your group, that our team was responsive, and that the kitchen was well stocked. Sorry the restaurant walk time was misleading — we'll work with VRBO as this is not information we provide in the listing but rather something their site adds based on automations they run. We certainly want everything to be more accurate for future guests. We appreciate the feedback and hope to host you again.

Beautifully decorated.
We loved the house. We liked being able to look across the cape and see the tip of Cape San Blas. Soft white sand, the water was clear half the week and not the other half. Nice amount of room for family.

"Good for the Soul" rental beach house was indeed very peaceful for my soul. I sooooo loved it!
The beach was about 30 steps from the house. Two awesome decks with beautiful furniture. The house was tastefully decorated with ceramic bathrooms, quality beds, beautiful furniture and cedar. I will definitely be staying there again.
