Barefoot Cottages #B32 - Port St. Joe, FL

Decompress during a stay filled with leisure and relaxation at this calming two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home in Port St. Joe. Enjoy the shared hot tub or spend your days on the sugar-white sands of nearby Windmark Beach.

Located just one mile from Windmark, the home offers the opportunity to quickly drive or stroll to this tranquil beach. Take a swim in the gentle surf, or utilize the four miles of trails along St. Joseph's Bay for biking, running, or walking. If you'd rather not leave home, nature trails can be found just steps from the house.

The living room of the home itself offers a place for respite. With clean lines and beachy furniture, you can sink into the couch and watch some cable TV on the flatscreen while cooling down in the central A/C after a day in the sun. Comfy armchairs offer additional seating for friends or family, and guests can catch up on emails or social media using the provided WiFi. Start or end your day with a meal prepared in the well-appointed kitchen that includes stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar with counter seating for four. A dinette table offers additional seating for six for family meals.

If you'd rather grill than cook inside, the cottage community provides outdoor grilling areas for throwing steaks or fresh seafood onto the barbecue. Gather the group to eat at the outdoor picnic tables, then recline in the hot tub to wind down, or head back to the house and sit on the screened-in porch and take in the evening with a good book or game of cards.

When bedtime rolls around, the home's two bedrooms are serene and inviting, suitable for sleeping up to seven. The master bedroom offers a queen bed and an en suite bathroom for privacy. A door leads out to the upstairs balcony, the perfect place to sip a glass of wine before turning in. The second bedroom provides two twin beds, great for the kids, and has a flatscreen TV for watching shows before falling to sleep. Two sofabeds offer additional sleeping space, while a private washer/dryer provide the opportunity to launder linens and towels easily.

Port St. Joe is an incredible place for a low-key beach vacation filled with sunshine and gorgeous seascapes. Days spent at Windmark Beach swimming and collecting shells may be all you desire, but nearby day trips can also be a fun way to spend time. Charter a boat or take a drive to historic Apalachicola for independently-owned maritime galleries and shops, or have a meal of seafood pulled fresh from the town's waters at one of the local restaurants. Port. St. Joe and its surrounds are fantastic for fishing, and you can also go scalloping in-season. For some adventure, go ocean kayaking, paddleboarding, or take a scuba diving lesson.

Surf and serenity will fill your days at this lovely Florida home. Step away from the daily grind and book your next Gulf vacation with us today.
