For the fishing enthusiast, launch your boat at the nearby Mexico Beach Marina boat ramp or Port St. Joe boat ramp and take in some first-class fishing, or book your family on a fishing charter day trip out on the water to catch your dinner.

Our beautiful area has been under reconstruction since Hurricane Michael in 2018. We have come a long way since then, but there is still a considerable amount of new construction going on in the area. While we strive to give you an accurate representation in our photos, we cannot guarantee that new construction near your rental hasn't begun since our photos were taken.

    Pete's Paradise was perfect for our family vacation! We feel it was the most well appointed house that we've ever stayed in! There was an exceptional attention to detail. Additionally, we felt it was one of the best equipped kitchens we've ever used in a vacation rental. Everything was comfortable and clean with a nice, new feel to it. We loved the spacious open central living area. Plenty of comfortable seating in the living room and dining area. The island was perfect for puzzles. Appliances, smart TV, washer & dryer all worked great. Loved the fridge out in the covered patio out back for extra groceries for a large family. Also loved the large shower in the master bath, everyone wanted to use it LOL. Short walk to the beach (about 5 minutes), but we usually drove down, plenty of parking along the main road. Chairs, beach buggy, etc. available out at the patio out back. Some of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll see over the ocean. About 10 minutes into Port St. Joe with everything you need and a small town vibe. Enjoyed walking around town and the Uptown Raw Bar. Highly recommend visiting the Sea Turtle Center in PSJ and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve (approx. 45 minute drive). We cannot recommend Pete’s Paradise enough, especially for a family and we would eagerly stay again if visiting the area!

    The home has a great layout and proximity to the beach. We loved the area we brought our Jet Ski's and had a great time in the bay exploring. My major complaint is both showers would back up before the water would even get warm. The master was like it wouldn't even drain. Nothing fells better than standing in cold water while working on getting clean. I informed then of the issue after check in. Then they told me they knew of the problem. So if you don't mind standing in your and who knows backed up shower water please rent this place. They told me someone would be out to fix before we left didn't happen.

    My best friend and I go to St. Joe Beach every year so we already love the location. This rental home was perfect for us! Updated, clean, spacious... Check out was super easy. If the yard was fenced and they would allow pets (I didn't look to see since I wasn't bringing them this year), I could see us renting this place every year! But certainly for any of our pet-free vacations, I will be searching for this one again!! I cannot recommend this rental enough!
