About Property

Discover the magic of the Forgotten Coast at Mermaid Manor, a charming 1-bedroom coastal retreat nestled in the heart of downtown Port St. Joe, Florida. This cozy, mermaid-inspired cottage is located on the ground floor of a beautifully renovated blue beach home, offering a self-contained space and a private entrance that avoids the cookie-cutter feel of standard rentals.

The interior features an airy, open-concept layout designed for comfort and flexibility. The sleeping area is equipped with one comfortable queen bed, a separate vanity nook, and a daybed with a trundle to accommodate up to 3 guests. Guests will enjoy a full bathroom stocked with fresh linens and toiletries. The bright living and dining area flows into a kitchen set up for real cooking, featuring a professional countertop convection oven, dual burner cooktop, full-size refrigerator, microwave, blender, and a coffee bar.

Outdoor living is a highlight of this property. Relax on your own private screened-in porch, perfect for morning coffee or evening wine, or head to the shared backyard to enjoy stargazing nights by the fire pit. For those arriving by water or returning from the coast, the property provides a fish cleaning station, an outdoor shower, and free boat parking available on a first-come, first-served basis.
