About this property

Mermaid on 7th | Pet-Friendly | 2 Blocks to Downtown & Bay

  • Welcome to Mermaid on 7th, your new favorite place to kick off your flip-flops, park the boat, and remember what “relaxed” actually feels like. This isn’t just a vacation rental. This is Port St. Joe living, done right. If you’re looking for a beautifully furnished coastal home in a town that still feels like Old Florida—where the fish bite, the sunsets glow, the food is incredible, and nobody’s in a hurry—you just found it.



    The House: Cool, Comfortable, Coastal (and Actually Livable) with 2 additional sleeping porches!



    Mermaid on 7th is a stylish, comfortable, thoughtfully designed home that blends coastal charm with real-life comfort. This isn’t a sterile “don’t touch anything” rental. It’s a place where you can actually relax, spread out, and enjoy your time together. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice:



    Beautiful furnishings that feel coastal, clean, and inviting

    Comfortable seating that begs you to sit down after a beach day

    Thoughtful décor with subtle mermaid vibes (nothing cheesy, promise)

    Plenty of space for families, friends, and fishing buddies and dogs



    Whether you’re here for a long weekend, a fishing trip, or a full coastal escape, the house is set up for real people who want to be comfortable. And yes—it photographs beautifully, but it feels even better in person. The whole family will have a blast!



    The Backyard: Where Boats, Trucks & Fish Tales Are Welcome



    Let’s talk about one of Mermaid on 7th’s biggest wins—the backyard.



    Room for large trucks

    Room for boats and RV's

    Easy access, no stress parking direct from the alley



    If you’ve ever tried to find a place near the water that actually accommodates boats and fishing gear, you know how rare this is. Here, you can roll in, park with ease, rinse off gear, and head inside without worrying about tight spaces or HOA side-eye.



    Whether you’re trailering a bay boat, bringing fishing kayaks, or just rolling in with a big truck and coolers full of ice—this house gets you.



    Location, Location… Oh Wow, This Location



    Mermaid on 7th sits in a prime Port St. Joe location, just two blocks from St. Joseph Bay and two blocks from downtown. That means:



    Morning coffee by the bay? Easy.

    Evening sunsets over the water? A short walk away.

    Restaurants, shops, live music, ice cream, breweries? All a short walk!



    You can park your car when you arrive and barely touch it again—unless you’re heading out to fish, scallop, or explore nearby beaches.



    Welcome to Port St. Joe: Where Time Slows Down (On Purpose)



    Port St. Joe is one of those places that people hesitate to tell others about—because once you discover it, you kind of want to keep it to yourself.



    It’s laid-back in the best way. Friendly without trying. Uncrowded without being sleepy. And, oh so beautiful!



    Here, you’ll find:



    No high-rise chaos

    No traffic nightmares

    No pressure to “do it all”



    Instead, you’ll get: 

    Warm Gulf breezes, locals who wave. kids riding bikes, fishermen swapping stories, sunsets that make you stop talking mid-sentence!



    It’s Old Florida energy with just enough cool spots to keep things interesting.



    Angler’s Paradise: Seriously, Bring the Rods!!!! If you fish—or want to—Port St. Joe is an absolute dream.



    St. Joseph Bay is known for:



    Redfish

    Trout

    Flounder

    Sheepshead

    Tarpon (seasonally)



    The bay’s calm, shallow waters make it perfect for:



    Inshore fishing

    Kayak fishing

    Paddleboard fishing

    Teaching kids to fish



    You’re minutes from boat ramps, bait shops, charter captains, and shoreline access. And when you get back? You’ve got room to park, clean up, and tell your fish story without exaggerating too much.



    Beaches, Shells & Scallops (Yes, Really)



    The nearby beaches are everything people wish crowded beach towns still were:



    Soft sand

    Clear water

    Room to spread out



    Shell hunting here is top-tier, especially after a good tide. And if you’re visiting during scallop season, you’re in the right place. Snorkel, float, laugh, and fill your cooler—it’s one of the most fun family experiences on the Gulf Coast.



    Food Scene: Small Town, Big Flavor!!!



    Port St. Joe punches way above its weight when it comes to food, you’ll find:



    Fresh seafood caught locally

    Casual beachy spots

    Date-night-worthy dinners

    Live music nights that turn into impromptu dancing



    From oysters and shrimp to burgers and tacos, there’s something for everyone—and nothing feels rushed. Eat slow. Stay late. Nobody’s checking the clock. Our restaurants are amazing!!!!



    Perfect for Families, Fishermen & Friends



    Families who want space and comfort

    Fishing groups who need boat parking

    Couples who love walkable towns

    Pet lovers looking for a welcoming stay

    Anyone who prefers flip-flops over dress shoes



    This home was designed to make you feel at ease—not like you’re tiptoeing through someone else’s space.



    Why Guests Love Mermaid on 7th? Because it’s:



    Comfortable without being boring

    Stylish without being stuffy

    Close to everything without being loud

    Angler-friendly (finally!)

    In a town that still feels like a hidden gem



    Guests come for the fishing, the bay, and the beaches—and leave already planning their return.



    Come make waves, chase sunsets, and enjoy the magic of Port St. Joe at Mermaid on 7th.

We had a fantastic time! This was our first time visiting Port St Joe and we loved it. The house was huge for us, but would be awesome for a bigger group of people! There’s a smaller fenced in area off the side of the house that we used to let our dog out - it was perfect for the mornings! Clean and walking distance to downtown. We walked to dinner one night to Uptown: highly recommended! Meg was great at communicating with us and check in and out was smooth. The house was also a short walk to a smaller more private beach and it was perfect for the two of us and our dog.
