Will be back!

House was perfect for our family of 3 and little 10 pound pup! We spent most of our time in the bay fishing or in the back yard with the fire pit going! Driveway is long enough for boat parking! We cooked every night at the house, had all the utensils & dishes we needed! Owner was quick to respond to all of ours questions/needs! We could walk everywhere! Less than 10 minute walk to marina, where there is a park & small walking trail. Could easily walk to the downtown area to restaurants if you want! We will definitely be back!

Cottage in Port St Joe

Cottage very great on inside. Very accessible to boat ramp and restaurants. We think the grass should have been mowed and backyard needed a thorough cleaning. We were not able to use the gas grill as it had not been cleaned in a while.

Perfect Bay Cottage!

Our family, including our 2 aussies, had a wonderful time in PSJ this week! We loved the photo album of the renovations & enjoyed the character of this home. Our 2 pups enjoyed the big fenced in yard & made it into their personal racetrack. Thank you for opening up this cozy home to us, we will definitely add it to one of our favorites to look for when booking again!

Cute cottage

This property worked great for us. Loved the back yard and " happy hour" hut. Very comfortable. Very friendly neighborhood. Loved the front porch. The bike had a flat tire, would have been nice to have one but only blocks to town and nice to walk the neighborhood.

Door lock a little tricky with door jam/dead bolt. Spent days on water fishing so early AM/PM use mostly. Would reserve again in future if back in area for similar type trip.

About the host

Hosted by Janis Kraft

Host profile image
I'm a Realtor in Peachtree City, Ga., which is a south Atlanta Metro town. I've been selling real estate for the past 15 years and thought it'd be fun to do a renovation. Prior i spent near 20 years at Delta Air Lines in customer service, marketing ,and sales. I've enjoyed traveling and meeting new people

Why they chose this property

I love this gem, it was certainly a diamond in the rough when I found it several years ago. I say "I rescued" it. Over the last several years, I've lifted it out of the sand and have been working on it on and off between real estate clients. Repurposing as much material as I could. I think it brings character and warmth to this cottage.

What makes this property unique

I think you'll enjoy the front porch which almost always brings a cool breeze and those who come for our famous fishing opportunities should like the outdoor pavilion with a commercial sink for catch of the day.
