ThaKingfish was conveniently located to the beach in a small, quiet development. Everything was as advertised. Jeanie was easy to work with and even offered some restaurant recommendations. It’s a lovely place in a lovely part of the Forgotten Coast!
Our stay was awesome! House was clean and as advertised. Close proximity to the beach access and kitchen and home had all amenities we needed to for a comfortable vacation! Jeanie was amazing to work with and a wonderful hospitable host! Highly recommend this rental!

Thanks so much and know you are welcome anytime and always! Added March 2025 is a wonderful outdoor living space with new concrete flooring for grilling and relaxing with beautification efforts with professional landscaping with slate rocks in the front yard and boat parking area. Please keep in touch and come again.
Respectfully,
We had a great time! The only thing was, finding the beach entrances was a bit of a trek. We had to walk behind the house and up to the boardwalk in the next neighborhood. Everything else was perfect, though!
Short walk to beach and great biking area. Great restaurant just down the road about 3 miles. Recommend!

Thank you for your kind words! So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Please come again as I’m ready to facilitate another memorable vacation. Respectfully,
Our family loved our stay here. It was the perfect size for our family, great location (15 minutes from Port St Joe and 15 minutes from the state park). We enjoyed the beach in the neighborhood but a beach wagon is a must if you have lots of beach gear since it's a 5-10 minute walk from the home. The overall place was great and the host gave us great tips about the area. Will definitely stay here again!
The host was amazing and the home was very clean and updated. There is a pretty good walk to the beach if you have to haul a bunch of stuff. That was really my only issue was the walk to the beach with all of our stuff in tow. Beautiful area. The home is also a duplex which I did not realize at the time of renting. We had no trouble with neighbors at all and the area was very quiet!
This was exactly what we were looking for. It was close walk to beach with boardwalk to the ocean. We took our boat and had plenty of room for parking. There was plenty of outdoor seating if you have time to sit. They had plenty of extra bedding and towels if needed. The community was dog friendly and almost all residents had dogs. Easy location to get in and out of and conveniently located.
Very nice property a short walk to the beach. Host requests that you call her the day before check in for instructions and she is AMAZING! So informative regarding the area and the best restaurants!
Went to CSB for a long weekend to relax and do some fishing. Upon arrival we located the key box and let ourselves in, the host allowed us to check in early.2 nice bedrooms, bathrooms downstairs and a loft which we didn't use. We enjoyed the porch with ceiling fans which allowed us to catch a couple of sunsets across the bay. The walk to the beach is an easy 2 minutes or so. The beach is wide and not crowded and has a little vehicle traffic which was well behind where folks sit on the beach. The location is near Salinas park which has vehicle beach access, a bay boardwalk, and pickleball courts. Its a quick drive to PSJ and about 25 minutes to Appalachicola.Next visit we plan to bring one of our dogs. The upstairs porch has a dog gate, nice.Looking forward to our next visit.

Wonderful to have you stay and know you all enjoyed your vacation. Please know you are always welcome and please come again! Sincerely, Jeanie
This was a perfect place to stay when you are at a property with beach access and close to the Park Launch. Nice to be able to clean your catch downstairs and rinse the days activities away and then go upstairs to eat and shower. We appreciate having the ease and comfort of a home away from home. Nice place to unwind.

About the host
Hosted by Jeanie Walker, Owner/Manager
Lifelong love of panhandle coastline. Passion for sharing Tha Kingfish Beach Owner/Manager/Excellent Hostess, Cape Dunes Gulf-side Community, share local area info for vacation enjoyment. Dolphin watching is the greatest pastime; deep sea fishing for red snapper and other fish off the shore of Carrabelle and river only 8 miles away. Deep sea fishing was a favorite childhood pastime with my Mother with memories which include cousin/classmate best friend, many family members, countless friends and now many repeat guests as friends. I am blessed with such rich childhood coastal memories, appreciate my parents dedication to provide meaningful family coastal annual vacations; marine life observation, birding, very relaxing! Golf, museums, beaches, dining, fishing and sunning; wide private beach with a full compliment of amenities: boardwalk, beach chairs/wagon/tent/beach toys/boogie boards/towels for sunning; dolphin watching; sea turtle nesting observation from a safe distance; horseback riding; bonfires on the beach; long walks; shelling; sunning from the beach chair; and tremendous exercise opportunities on miles of beach shoreline (bring hat and personal umbrella)!
Why they chose this property
A truly remarkable place for relaxing, beach, walks, shelling and enjoying 'the forgotten coast'.
What makes this property unique
Very private beach, lots of scenic water, dunes and natural habitat/foilage representative of Old Florida. To watch the dolphins feed/play in the water and view horseback riding on the beach while sun bathing on our secluded beach is amazing.
