French doors open to the Florida room overlooking a spring-fed pond. Morning coffee out here. A book in the afternoon. Supper winding down while the light changes over the water. It is the kind of extra living space that makes a house feel like home. Three bedrooms, two full baths, plus a bonus room that can work as an office, studio, hobby room, or extra sleeping space when everybody decides to come to the coast at once.

Better yet, you are positioned between Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach with the beach just a short distance away. Enjoy morning walks along the shoreline, relaxed evenings near the water, and the laid-back pace that makes this part of Florida so appealing. Head west for dining and the easygoing feel of Mexico Beach, or into downtown Port St. Joe for restaurants, shopping, marinas, and community events. That is the beauty of this location.
