Reel Em Inn Bay Front House With boat ramp

This three-bedroom, two bathroom, bayfront vacation home is a true fisherman's paradise. This unique home sits on a working waterfront, with several shrimp boats that dock behind the house and unload their live shrimp into our bait tanks....and yes you do have access to your own live bait shrimp! In addition, there is also a boat ramp you can launch your boat and it puts you right in the heart of some of the area's best flat fishing and SCALLOPING! When it's time to get off the boat and unload your fish, the Reel Em Inn has a fish station located under the house equipped with a cutting board and hot and cold-water hose. Once you get your fish cleaned you have a fully equipped kitchen to cook in and a nice dining area to enjoy your fresh catch while overlooking the bay. Have a night you don't feel like cooking? Hunts Oyster Bar is only a short walk away! Below Hunt’s is St Joe Shrimp Seafood market which also serves as a convenience store. They have the area's best fresh shrimp and fish, along with cold drinks, seasonings, condiments, bait & tackle, and almost everything you could need! Overall, this house is ideal for a group or family who plans to go fishing and enjoys livelihood and interactions with other people being that there are businesses all around it. It is not secluded, however it is a "shore thing" for a very good time and a unique experience that you can't get anywhere else!

Perfect location

This house was perfect for us. We sat every morning and watched the shrimp boats come right in the back yard, walked next door to Hunts and ate the best seafood and burgers. Boat ramp right behind the house. It was a great vacation Lexi was sweet and was on top of any questions we had. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful view with quick access to the bay!

This property is perfect for spending your days in the sun and on the bay! The house is beautiful, clean, spacious and in a perfect location, with on site boat ramp, and next door to a nice restaurant and store with bait! Lexi made sure we had everything that we needed and checked in with us quickly. The family and neighbors that live near by also checked in with us to make sure we were all set. Everyone was so friendly! We will for sure stay here again!

Beautiful and comfy

We have stayed at many places and this one has to be one of my favorites. They have SHEEX! The best sheets ever. It is very clean and the beds and seating are comfortable. Beautiful sunsets. Cool to watch the boats gigging at night, coming and going. There is a restaurant and store in the parking lot which very much came in handy. We will definately be back.

Hope to go next year again!!

Everyone was very friendly. We even got to beat the owner at Texas Holdem one night. The proximity to the area we wanted to be in was perfect. The locals, just being locals made it to be a very refreshing vacation. However, no one book until we get ours in. LOL

Best place I've stayed in Port St Joe!

Guys, if you're looking for the perfect place to stay during scallop season or to slay some fish, this is it! The house was super spacious and nice inside. There's a boat launch directly out the back door, a bait shop / convenience store / restaurant less than 100 yards away, and plenty of parking. My buddies and I came down with 2 boats and 3 other vehicles and had more than enough room to park. Mrs. Adams (the owner) was super nice and communicated throughout the whole stay if we had questions or needed suggestions. I can't recommend this house enough, it was that good. Make the commitment and book it now!

If you are considering a stay in Port St. Joe, you won't find a more welcoming, accommodating and convenient location than this!! The owners were beyond helpful and friendly and actually checked on us every day!!! The views and sunsets from the deck were amazing. We had much success fishing and scalloping with guidance and tips from some of the locals that work on the waterfront behind the house. I brought my flats skiff on the trip with us and the boat ramp and dock behind house were awesome as we didn't have to leave the property to launch or dock. We are already planning our next stay!!!!!

Fabulous getaway

We booked the house to be able to relax and catch the first couple of days of scallop season. Upon driving up we were met by the owner who immediately went out of his way to show us the property and to make us feel completely welcomed. The home was very clean and was the perfect location for our trip! The location is very convenient as there is a boat ramp onsite as well as boat rentals for those who might not have brought a boat with them. The kitchen is modern as are the finishings the home. While the home was exactly what we were looking for, I have to say what made our trip memorable was how absolutely wonderful the owners are. They were extremely accommodating and such nice people! We certainly will return! Someone else had put in their review that this was the best setup for a family going scalloping, and I couldn’t agree more. My only hesitation for leaving such a positive review is that more people will want to stay there and compete with me being able to book it again in the future. 😁 If you can get it, book this place while you can!

Best place to rent!

We had a lovely weekend in Port St. Joe! We booked this house for the weekend and we were stunned about how beautiful the home was along with the view. The home was spacious, clean, and had comfy beds (you don't find those often in rentals)! The owner was nice enough to even let us rent her pontoon for the day, so we really got to enjoy the bay and all it had to offer. We love this house and are definitely going to try an snag it for any future trips! Highly recommend!!

Perfect, family, fun, and fishing

Highly recommend! We will definitely come back! We wanted to bring the kids to the water to enjoy Gods beauty! The house was very clean! It had everything we needed in the kitchen to meet our needs! The fishing was great, and the sunsets were amazing! Perfect spot to take your boat out with boat ramp right out your back door. Also has a With bait shop right next store, it was so convenient to grab some bait and a couple of bags of ice for our day out on the water! Our host Theresa was very kind and accommodating to our needs! This is our new favorite spot!
