Meet the Gypsy Cottage — the only tiny home in all of Port St. Joe, and the easiest walk into downtown you'll find anywhere on the Forgotten Coast. One block from Reed Ave, seven minutes to St. Joe Beach, and wrapped in a fully fenced courtyard that turns small square footage into a private outdoor room. Newly refreshed inside, pet-friendly, and built for a couple (or couple plus dog, or solo traveler who wants their own hideaway) who'd rather stroll to breakfast than drive to it.
r>The property is set up for contactless entry. We will not be at the property in person and communication through the app is preferred.


Our neighborhood is full of other charming beach cottages and offers a quaint and quiet atmosphere. The home is centrally located in the heart of Port St. Joe, within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. You will be close to lots of outdoor activities, food, and entertainment options, including walking trails, live music, dining, shopping, the Sea Turtle Museum, the historical Lighthouse, and St. Joe Bay.


You have the entire tiny home, the fully fenced private courtyard with seating and new turf grass, and your own dedicated driveway parking space. A smart-lock code is sent before arrival — self check-in after 4 PM, no key-handoff logistics. The shared fire pit, laundry room, outdoor shower, outdoor grill, and fish-cleaning station sit in a common area with three other homes on the same parcel.


This delightful tiny home is packed with comfort and charm. With 475 sq ft of space, it's equipped with everything you need for a memorable, convenient, and comfy stay. It features 1 bedroom with a queen bed and a pullout couch in the living area. The space sleeps up to 3 people.

Whether you're cooking up a delicious dish in the full kitchen, unwinding in the snug queen bedroom, or enjoying a movie on the smart TV in the cozy living room, you’ll find this tiny house has it all. The charm of the home extends to the outdoor space with a fenced-in courtyard with seating, offering privacy and serenity. Spend your evenings by the fire pit, sharing stories under the stars, or enjoy your morning coffee while planning your beach adventures!

Guests will have access to a communal laundry room with complimentary detergent, ensuring you stay fresh during your getaway. There is also a shared fire pit and seating, a handy fish-cleaning station, and an outdoor shower for your convenience. There is also an outdoor grill available for use.


One free dedicated driveway parking space on premises for Gypsy Cottage. Additional overflow parking is available next to the white house at the front of the parcel. Downtown parking is walkable, so most guests park once and leave the car until checkout.

    The house was well equipped with everything needed for basic kitchen tasks. Bathroom was also well stocked with shower needs, nice towels and lots of really hot water. Very cute beach cottage decor.

    Nice place with everything provided. I didn't even have to go buy anything that wasn't provided which I've never NOT had to do. Cute house, private, quiet area except for some barking dogs occasionally from nearby... overall, a very satisfying experience and I would recommend it to friends. Only 1 suggestion is for a small TV in the bedroom....

    This was a great little spot. There's probably nothing you could want to eat or drink that wasn't about a 7 minute walk away. From donuts, to tacos, to sandwiches, to ribs, beer, wine, liquor... it was all in walking distance.. We had a good time for our weekend get away. Parking at the cottage was a bit tricky but it was a wonderful overall experience.

    The Gypsy Cottage is/was a perfect winter getaway spot. Close to everything: shops, trails, parks, and restaurants. I highly recommend it.

    We enjoyed our stay at Gypsy Cottage. It was in the perfect location, about two to three blocks to “downtown” and another block to the water. A paved walking & biking path is nearby which we enjoyed, daily. The property owner very thoughtfully curated the house and amenities. So many fine details considered for travelers from a dog basket with blankets, bones, extra leash, etc. the kitchen and bath had everything we needed. We ate in most of our meals and the kitchen was perfect for us. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and some cute shops. You won’t be disappointed.

    Our annual scalloping vacation led us from our tiny townhouse in downtown Ft. Walton Beach to the delightful Gypsy Cottage in the heart of Port St. Joe, and it was our best experience yet. Unlike other rentals we've tried in Cape San Blas and PSJ, this charming tiny house truly felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect—close enough to bike to the local Piggly Wiggly and coffee shop, yet nestled in a peaceful neighborhood that offered a serene escape. The owners' attention to detail made this rental stand out. The provided toiletries, plush towels, and comfy bed & pillows ensured a cozy stay. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with spices, oil & cookware, allowed us to enjoy home-cooked meals, which we savored while relaxing on the outdoor swing and chairs. Another standout was the responsiveness of the property owners when we accidentally got locked out, despite the warning not to lock the doorknob from the inside. This was a refreshing contrast to a previous experience with a property management company where our request to change a reservation was met with unyielding inflexibility, despite notifying them within 30 min. of the mistake. The owners also reached out with information about local events, adding a personal touch, unlike one who ignored our requests for local info. The care and attention to detail made this rental exceptionally welcoming and convenient. Highly recommended to anyone seeking a cozy and well-situated retreat in Port St. Joe!

    We came to bring our pups to the beach again! We usually are farther south in December and it’s not too hot. This was hotter that we expected but we made it through. Nice quite and clean town and cottage!
