Built in 2017 to feel like a classic Florida cottage, the main 2-bed, 1-bath home blends vintage character with modern durability: a cast iron kitchen sink, push-button light switches, high wood baseboards, solid wood doors, and exposed ribbed metal ceilings with an acid-washed finish. It's soul new construction can't fake. It was also built to last, with a pier foundation on 24 pilings, 2x6 framing, 8-inch baseboards, and spray foam insulation above and below. There's income built in, too. Above the oversized detached garage sits a fully furnished 2-bed, 1-bath apartment with a private entrance — currently a successful short-term rental and income stream from day one.

The Story
7372 Georgia Avenue
Built in 2017 to feel like a classic Florida cottage, the main 2-bed, 1-bath home blends vintage character with modern durability: a cast iron kitchen sink, push-button light switches, high wood baseboards, solid wood doors, and exposed ribbed metal ceilings with an acid-washed finish. It's soul new construction can't fake. It was also built to last, with a pier foundation on 24 pilings, 2x6 framing, 8-inch baseboards, and spray foam insulation above and below. There's income built in, too. Above the oversized detached garage sits a fully furnished 2-bed, 1-bath apartment with a private entrance — currently a successful short-term rental and income stream from day one. What truly sets this property apart is the it sits on two full lots: 04170-002R & 04170-000R, just three blocks from the beach. Land this close to the sand is rare — nearly half an acre, with room for a pool, a workshop, or another home, or simply extra privacy. Live in the main house yourself while renting the apartment above the garage, letting the property help pay for itself. Then there's the lifestyle. St. Joe Beach moves at golf-cart speed — a short ride to your neighbor's porch, dinner, the park, or the sand, in a small community where people still wave and look out for each other. Three blocks away, the sugar-white sands are both pet-friendly and bonfire-friendly. Bring the dog, build a fire, watch the sunset, walk home — the kind of lifestyle that keeps vacationers coming back and fuels this property's proven rental history. Everyday extras include covered parking, golf cart parking, a fenced yard, an outdoor shower, a large entertainment deck, and a covered walkway to the garage. Historic Port St. Joe is a short drive, with Cape San Blas and Apalachicola about 30 minutes away and Panama City roughly 45. Whether you want a primary residence with soul, a beach retreat, or a turnkey investment, this property delivers a home you can't replicate and the St. Joe Beach lifestyle to match.
