Welcome to The White Heron, our Jewel of the Forgotten Coast — a stunning Southern Contemporary retreat where timeless Old Florida charm meets modern coastal luxury. Originally built in the 1920s, this historic home has been completely transformed into a one-of-a-kind luxurious Bayfront escape, perfectly situated in the heart of Port St. Joe.

This 6-bedroom, 5.5-bath home offers everything you could dream of for a tropical beach oasis — including a private Bayfront beach, spa/hot tub, and large private pool for your family’s enjoyment. Spend your evenings by the beachside fire pit, surrounded by the glow of unforgettable panoramic sunsets over the bay.

Come fall in love with the spirit of Old Florida and let The White Heron recharge your soul while rejuvenating your spirit.

As you step inside, you’re welcomed into a chef’s dream kitchen designed for gathering and entertaining. The heart of the home features:
- A 10-foot quartz island with bar seating for 7
- Bayfront views that fill the space with natural light
- High-end appliances including a 6-burner LG gas cooktop with double oven, Bosch microwave drawer, and KitchenAid French-door refrigerator with ice and filtered water
- Double sink with disposal, prep sink, and LG dishwasher
- The kitchen opens seamlessly to the family room, where you can unwind with breathtaking bay views or enjoy a movie night on the 72 Samsung Smart TV.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area features a Pottery Barn table for 12, set against vintage white brick walls and a Restoration Hardware buffet — creating a casually elegant setting. Step outside for alfresco dining for 10 on the Bayfront patio, where every meal comes with a front-row seat to the sunset.

The spacious entertainment room includes:
- A cozy fireplace
- Pool table, dartboard, and board games
- Additional window bar seating for 8, made from reclaimed sinker cypress wood from the local Dead Lakes
- A dry bar with beverage fridges for your favorite drinks

The main floor offers three luxurious suites:
- There is a cozy bunk room retreat featuring two built-in queen bunk beds with stunning water views and French doors opening to the outdoor living area.
- The main level master includes a daybed with trundle, Samsung TV with Roku, ample closet space, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath with a rain showerhead (sleeps 4).
- A guest room on the main level features a queen bed and walk-in closet, with a beautifully tiled hall bath showcasing a double-headed 8-foot glass shower.

Upstairs, you’ll find:
- A grand hall bath with double vanity and glassed double shower
- A bunk room that sleeps 5, complete with blackout shades
- A Bayfront guest room with queen bed, sitting area, and vintage fireplace
- The upstairs master suite with king bed, bay views, and an airy ensuite bath with double vanity and glass shower

Step into your own outdoor paradise — a covered living and kitchen pavilion that brings luxury and comfort together.

The outdoor kitchen includes:
- Built-in gas grill with single burner (perfect for a low country boil)
- Triple sink, built-in icemaker, and Green Egg smoker
- Refrigerator, freezer, and ample counter space
- A large teak dining table for 10 plus additional seating
- Comfortable wicker sectional with coffee table and cooling ceiling fans

Relax under the pavilion or take a dip in the private pool, soak in the hot tub, or stretch out on the king-size covered cabana bed overlooking the bay.

A poolside bathroom and outdoor shower add convenience, while the ambient lighting from the pavilion to the palm trees creates an enchanting nighttime atmosphere.

Enjoy the private beach by roasting marshmallows at the fire pit or wade fishing for redfish and trout. Take the free kayaks and paddleboards out into the calm, clear waters or stroll along the shore collecting shells and watching dolphins in the distance.

Kids will love exploring the tidal islands and shallow water, while adults can grab one of our custom #LivetheBeachLife bicycles and cruise the scenic bay path to the lighthouse. For more exploring, golf cart rentals are available to cruise around town.

The White Heron is located just a short walk or bike ride to downtown Port St. Joe, where you’ll find local boutiques, coastal dining, live music, and old-fashioned ice cream shops. This charming town offers everything from fresh seafood and friendly locals to stunning Gulf beaches just a short drive away.

You’ll also be close to tennis courts, playgrounds, and a local boat ramp (less than ⅛ mile away). With parking for 8–10 cars, an oversized carport, and space for boats or RVs, this home is ideal for families and groups of all sizes.

Whether you’re here for rest or adventure, The White Heron offers the perfect blend of luxury, history, and coastal beauty — a true Jewel of the Forgotten Coast.

    Beautiful location with a private beach. We enjoyed the fire pit while watching the sunset after dining outside every evening. A lot of games to play indoors and outside. Nice size pool with a hot tub. Within walking distance of a grocery store and six pickleball courts! Very clean and spacious house. Hope to go come back in the future!

    We chose this VRBO strictly for the bay front property, private pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen. This house was everything we hoped for and more! SO relaxing! We literally stayed outside in the back yard all day/evening during our stay, and cooked all meals enjoying the outdoor kitchen! 12/10 would recommend! The firepit was perfect for s’mores and enjoying the beautiful sunset each night!

    Most amazing stay in PSJ and we love it there! Nothing tops this house! Hoping to make it a yearly tradition! The kids were asking us to buy the place It’s not often that the kids aging from 1-17 all have the best experience! And the adults loved it the most!

    We had 4 moms and many teens with us and every single one of us agreed it was the best spot we had every stayed. The hot tub was fabulous, the outdoor cooking was so fun and the sunsets were like none we had ever seen. The teens loved exploring the bay and being walking distance from downtown shops and restaurants. Having two washers and dryers was super convenient. Everyone had plenty of space and privacy. The property manager was super responsive. Parking was plentiful. I seriously cannot think of one negative thing to say about the property!

    Fantastic for all ages. Host was incredibly responsive to any questions or needs. There was enough space for our group of 14 people and we never felt crowded. The kitchen, bedrooms were amazing and it felt like we were all by ourselves on our little oasis. We’ve booked for 2026 and are excited to return. Thank you Caprise for being an awesome host.

    This house couldn’t have been more accommodating to a large family, including all ages of children. The manager, Caprise, was a pleasure to deal with and responsible to the few needs we have. The home was very nicely furnished, and every possible, cooking utensil, including dishes, glasses, etc. The dirt, cooking area, kayaks, paddle boards, or enjoyed by all ages!

    We booked this house for my extended family to enjoy over the 4th of July week. This included of 9x adults, 3x teenagers, and 3x kids under 10. The house was very accommodating for our group and had something fun to do for EVERYONE. We spent several days just staying on the property to enjoy what it had to offer... whether it was morning coffee under the sun, relaxing in the pool, kayaking in the bay, playing pool/darts in the game room, enjoying dinner under the patio (with a phenomenal outdoor kitchen at that), or roasting marshmallows over a night fire. In addition to that it is just a couple blocks away from downtown Port St Joe that had several restaurants/shops to enjoy. The tide changes would bring the water quite a ways from the house in the afternoons/evenings... so we simply made a 15-20 minute drive to either Cape San Blas or Mexico Beach for days where we wanted a traditional beach experience. As an added bonus we were able to enjoy a spectacular fireworks show right from our own back yard on the 4th of July as the city was firing them off from a pier right by the house. I'd highly recommend this property for anyone looking to do a trip with several families of varying ages. There is nothing else like it in Port St Joe!
