We were familiar with Port St Joe so easily recognized how great the location of this cottage was for our activities. Reid street where many of the restaurants and stores is an easy walk and the roads to the beaches are a block away. There is also a Port City path nearby for walkers, runners, and non-motorized bikes, etc. It's in a well traveled neighborhood with nice parking on the side of the house. The inside of the home was cozy for us and met our needs well. As reflected in the documentation, it is pet and children friendly but not necessarily proofed, so recommend checking yard out for pet. Though fenced, there are some small gaps possibly created by recent storm activity and simply living adjacent to Gulf Coast (we experience the same at our own home). Our host was easy to communicate with provided needed information. WiFi worked well. We would easily stay here again.

Perfect Bay Cottage!

Our family, including our 2 aussies, had a wonderful time in PSJ this week! We loved the photo album of the renovations & enjoyed the character of this home. Our 2 pups enjoyed the big fenced in yard & made it into their personal racetrack. Thank you for opening up this cozy home to us, we will definitely add it to one of our favorites to look for when booking again!

About the host

Hosted by Janis Kraft

Host profile image
I'm a Realtor in Peachtree City, Ga., which is a south Atlanta Metro town. I've been selling real estate for the past 15 years and thought it'd be fun to do a renovation. Prior i spent near 20 years at Delta Air Lines in customer service, marketing ,and sales. I've enjoyed traveling and meeting new people

Why they chose this property

I love this gem, it was certainly a diamond in the rough when I found it several years ago. I say "I rescued" it. Over the last several years, I've lifted it out of the sand and have been working on it on and off between real estate clients. Repurposing as much material as I could. I think it brings character and warmth to this cottage.

What makes this property unique

I think you'll enjoy the front porch which almost always brings a cool breeze and those who come for our famous fishing opportunities should like the outdoor pavilion with a commercial sink for catch of the day.
