The dining table (which seats 4 or expands to 6), plus 2 bar stools, to the well stocked kitchen which has a new electric range and microwave.

Opportunities are near at hand: fishing, shelling, swimming, biking on 3 miles of paved bike paths, and enjoying 8 miles of one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

This apartment was massive! It’s such a beautiful apartment, it was so clean, and the walk to the beach was not bad either, the beach supplies that were left were super helpful too. We unfortunately had to cut the trip short a day to get out before impacts from the hurricane hit, we’d loved getting to spend the 2 days we paid for, but the hurricane had other plans. We’d love to visit again, it was such a beautiful location.

Having a dog friendly property was a Big decision factor. Having a friendly property gate keeper and an owner who responds quickly to my questions, will factor in my decision to return. Chris gave very clear instructions regarding the check in process and suggested they be printed and have with you on your trip.. I left mine on my printer at home. And like Chris had warned, my cell service was spotty and wouldn’t load the VRBO App to retrieve needed information.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
I am a retired art teacher from the Chicago area, now moved to LA to be near our new grandchildren. Our family loves the beach at Cape San Blas. Our place is beautifully decorated, and well appointed. We are located 30 seconds to the solar pool and tennis courts, and less than a 2 minute walk over the boardwalks to the beach, clubhouse and pool. We love to bike and hike in the St. Joe Peninsula State Park. We love to eat the great seafood in the nearby restaurants, and listen to live music in the local eateries/pubs. Apalachicola, the second oldest city in FL., is a half hour away.

Why they chose this property

We purchased our townhome in 2004 from an NFL football player. We love the uncrowded, sugary white sand beaches of the Florida panhandle. We enjoy the great fishing eating, shelling, biking,and relaxing at the gated community of Barrier Dunes.

What makes this property unique

We love the small town of Port St. Joe. We shuck our own oysters that we purchase by the pound. We enjoy the most beautiful sunsets over the water. We also enjoy the shopping and great restaurants in historic Appalaciocola, the 2nd oldest city in Florida, only 30 minutes away. Also, we never miss a dinner at the Indian Pass Raw Bar during our visits. We take part in the several local activities whenever we can.
