About this property

Family-Friendly Private Waterfront Oasis w/ Dock-10 min to Beach

This peaceful property is on a private 3 acres where you can enjoy the nice breeze on the porch as you watch the boats go by! Come and escape the cares of life at Reason to Escape!

Whether you are a fisherman or a beach bum this house will suit you. Nestled in the quiet community of Overstreet, you are just 6 miles from the beautiful beaches of Mexico Beach/ Port St Joe. There is plenty of parking for your boat/trailer as well as a nearby ramp to unload/load your boat into the Intracoastal.

Panama City East Bay is approximately 5 minutes and St. Joe Bay is approximately 30 minutes by boat.

Our home is situated on the shores of the Intracoastal Waterway, providing breathtaking panoramic views and direct access to the water for activities such as kayaking, boating, and fishing.

The interior design of our home reflects the coastal chic vibe of Mexico Beach/Port St Joe, featuring light and airy decor, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches that create a warm and inviting ambiance.

The floorplan is open and spacious. Perfect for unwinding and spending time together as a family.

We offer a unique approach with 2 master bedroom/bathroom suites. Privacy and comfort!

Enjoy your morning coffee on our covered front porch while you keep the birds company. Prepare supper on the outdoor grill while overlooking the grassy bayou. Read a book and catch some rays on our back deck.

Our dock is the perfect place to take in the wildlife and peaceful surroundings.

Can you just picture yourself here now?

Other things to note
There is no cable. We only have wifi and DVD players. You may login to Netflix, Roku, Hulu, etc.

Grill is charcoal.

Our kitchen comes fully stocked and ready to cook the catch of the day. Some appliances we have included in addition to the normal kitchen items are Fry Daddy, Electric Skillet, Food Processor, Crockpot.


Our house is located at the end of our sand road/easement. Though our house is in a secluded area, please remember this area is recovering from Hurricane Michael. Where houses once stood you may see campers. I assure you this area is still absolutely beautiful and is making progress in their recovery efforts every day.

Amazing

I can’t say enough about this house and location. We were able to bring our boat and go fish in the bay all while being less than 10 minutes from the beach. The seclusion is awesome, the house is spacious and has everything you may need. We will definitely be back many many times!

We really enjoyed our stay here, very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The house had most everything needed! Wish there was an outdoor hose to clean off with, we didn’t want to track sand inside.

Mexico Beach Trip

We had a great time while staying in this property! House was clean and worked well for 2 families. The kids loved having a separate spot to hang out. Both bedrooms were large and beds were comfortable.

Great Escape

Reason to Escape is a great property. Had more than a few concerns when first going to the house (turn down a dirt road between some campers with misc. boats sitting around). However, we met one of the neighbors and no longer had concerns. The house has a well stocked kitchen. Great selection of pots, pans, utensils, and dishes. The house has two bedrooms and each has its own bathroom. The addition to the house is where the additional beds are located and this area also has a bathroom. There is a door that can close off this area. We loved how roomy this house is. The only things we did not love were: The AC struggled. It was Upper 90's and we set it at 75. It would definitely heat up in the day and took a while to cool down - all doors and curtains were closed. The refridgerator was not working properly. It took over 24 hours to freeze 16 oz water bottles. After 24 hours, the water bottles in the fridge were barely chilled. Definitely not cold. (We did not overstuff the fridge with "hot" items. Everything except the pack of water was cold and it was room temp). We ended up loosing some food (Milk and lunch meat) because the fridge was not cold enough. Contacted owner and they suggested making sure it was pulled out from the wall to get airflow. That did help a little, but still it did not cool down to the proper temp. (We checked it with a high quality infared thermometer). My advice - Take a Cooler and use it.

Great getaway

Location was amazing. Only 6 miles from beach and restaurants. Not all of our group enjoys the beach equally. Half of the group stayed at the property and fished, and the other half went to the beach. Our family loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom, so we did not have multiple people waiting on shower. Out of 3 couples we gave the property 6 thumbs up!

Relaxing Week

Nice quiet location. Quick and easy drive to the beach, but off the beach enough to be able to sit on the porch and relax and enjoy a nice afternoon storm. House is very spacious with everything you will need.

Nice and quiet

The house is very clean and spacious! Secluded and quiet. The beach is only 5 minutes away! If you plan to fish definitely bring your boat, house has dock and boat ramp is near house (sadly we were unable to bring our boat). We did wish the house had an ice maker.

Overall the was was good. Although the grass was almost 2 foot tall. Be prepared to smell rotten eggs when showering or using any water. The property is secluded behind some other ran down properties.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Reason

Host profile image
We reside in Georgia, but our love of the ocean and small-town life drew us to purchase our Reason to Escape. We scuba dive, fish, and spend as much time as possible near the ocean. We love sharing our piece of paradise with others.

Why they chose this property

We love to watch the boats go by! It is the most peaceful and quiet view.

What makes this property unique

Our property is 3 private acres where you can truly escape the cares of life for a while. Close enough to the beach and nightlife, but secluded enough to escape the crowds and just enjoy nature. Best of both worlds!
