3-star hotel

Guest rating: 5.0 / 5

Overview

Blue Moon Cottage is a 3-star cottage-style property in Port St Joe, Florida, located at 9211 Auger Ave along the Gulf Coast's Forgotten Coast region. It offers a small-scale, low-key alternative to large resort hotels, with a public rating of 5 from its reviewers. The cottage setting suggests a quieter, home-like stay rather than a high-density hotel complex.

Location & Surroundings

The property sits close to the water, with Saint Joe Beach just 884 meters away and St. Joe Beach itself about 3.7km away, making beach access a short trip from the cottage. Mexico Beach Sunset Park (3.4km) and Parker Park (4km) are also nearby for casual outdoor time. Further afield, guests can reach Cape San Blas Lighthouse (14.3km), T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park (18.3km), and the Constitution Convention Museum State Park (16.6km) for half-day excursions.

Nearby Recreation

The surrounding area is dense with natural attractions, including Crooked Island Beach, Windmark Public Beach access, St. Joseph Bay Aquatic Preserve, and George Core Park (Lighthouse Park), all within roughly 4 to 15 kilometers of the cottage. The Forgotten Coast Sea Turtle Center and Windmark Beach Community Pool add further options for wildlife-focused or leisure outings during a stay.

Best for

Blue Moon Cottage suits travelers seeking a beach-focused, low-key getaway rather than a full-service resort experience, given its proximity to Saint Joe Beach (884m) and several other beach access points within a few kilometers. It's well suited to couples or small groups wanting a quiet base for exploring the Forgotten Coast's parks, lighthouses, and nature preserves.

Travel tips

Since the cottage is closest to Saint Joe Beach and St. Joe Beach, a car is recommended for reaching the more distant attractions like Cape San Blas Lighthouse and T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, which are 14-18km away. Plan beach visits for early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat, and consider grouping the farther state park and museum visits into a single day trip given the driving distances involved.
