Just bring your clothes and food — we've thought of everything else.
O'Connell's Beach House is the ultimate unplug-and-unwind retreat on Florida's Forgotten Coast. This beautifully renovated, fully stocked 3-bedroom home sits on a quiet street directly across from the beach, giving you that rare combination of total privacy and unbeatable access to the Gulf.
Room to spread out and relax.
With 1,800 sq ft of open, airy living space, 12-foot vaulted ceilings, and tile floors throughout (plus fresh carpet in the bedrooms), this home feels as good as it looks. The master bath features a brand new 72-inch open walk-in shower — the kind of upgrade that makes you feel like you're staying somewhere truly special. The kitchen has everything you need to cook like you're at home, and when you'd rather grill, the back deck with a gas grill overlooking the fenced backyard is ready for you.
The Forgotten Coast's best-kept secret.
St. Joe Beach is the real deal — no high-rise condos, no overcrowded shoreline. Just sugar-white sand, crystal-clear Gulf water, and the kind of unspoiled natural beauty that's getting harder and harder to find in Florida. Dolphins, sea turtles, and shorebirds are regular visitors, and the relaxed pace here is something guests fall in love with immediately.
Everything you need is already here.
The storage shed out back is stocked with all the beach gear you could want — wagon, stroller, coolers, chairs, umbrellas, fishing poles, and a beach cart. Two kayaks are also available to rent on-site. Pull up with your family, unload, and you're ready to go.
Plenty of space — even for the boat.
The large yard has room to park a boat or RV, making this an ideal base for anglers and water lovers. Full-service marinas with public boat ramps are just minutes away in both Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach.
Dining and fun within walking distance.
Shipwreck Restaurant is a 5-minute walk, and a handful of great local spots are just 5–10 minutes by car. After dinner, come back and unwind on the screened front porch overlooking the tropical landscaped front yard — one of the most popular spots in the house.
Nearly 100 five-star reviews and a 9.8/10 rating say it better than we can: guests love this place and keep coming back. Families, friend groups, pet owners — everyone feels at home here.
Dates fill up fast on the Forgotten Coast. Check availability and make this your summer.
Located in Port St. Joe, this vacation home is near the beach. Constitution Convention Museum State Park and Constitutional Convention Museum State Park reflect the area's natural beauty and area attractions include Beacon Hill Park and Mexico Beach Park. Port Theatre Art and Culture Center and Frank Pate Park are also worth visiting. Jet skiing and kayaking offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours and horse riding nearby.
