The Space:

Relax in bliss at this perfect home away from home, offering a screened porch, a balcony, and everything you need to slip right into vacation mode. With summery tones and beachy decor throughout, this retreat boasts an inviting ambiance that the whole family can enjoy. In your downtime between beach sessions, you can kick back in the hammock on the balcony to escape the heat while the chef of the group fires up the gas grill and cooks some burgers. If barbecuing isn't your preferred method of cooking, you'll be glad to know that there's a fully equipped kitchen inside, featuring a gas range, beautiful granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, so any recipe can be tackled with ease. The bar seating and the open living area make entertaining large groups a blast!



What's nearby:

Ideally positioned mere steps from the sand, this home will spoil the beach-goers of the group! As soon as the sun comes up, head out to the shore and collect seashells with a warm cup of coffee in hand. When you want to venture out a bit, historic Port St. Joe is just four miles down the coast, offering a wide variety of restaurants and shops to explore. The coastline is full of beautiful beaches and bike paths, including the three-mile Windmark paved waterfront trail, that will make for a day well-spent. The nature lovers in your family can take a drive to the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve Nature Center, the St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve Visitor Center, St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, or Salinas Park for a memorable nature walk. Hit the links at the St. Joe Bay Golf Club or the St. James Bay Country Club, or book a fishing charter, a horseback ride on the beach, or a pontoon boat rental. Be sure to check out the Cape San Blas Lighthouse while in town, or take a fun-filled day trip to historic Apalachicola.
