How the Bay House came to be

In 2020, a job transfer brought our family of five across the country to Port Saint Joe. We’d never even heard of the town, but quickly fell in love with its beautiful scenery, breathtaking sunsets, and amazing people. It was a little adjustment to have to really SLOW down our lives after living in faster paced cities, but we quickly found that we were craving the rest The Forgotten Coast provided. We knew that no matter where our life took us, we’d always want a piece of our lives to be in Port Saint Joe.

In 2022, we began building “The Bay House,” and only weeks later found out we’d be moving again. We were heartbroken to leave the beauty of this place, but quickly determined we’d move forward with constructing this home. We knew we would eventually get to enjoy the house, and would also now have the opportunity to share it with others.

Our heart from the beginning has been for this house to be a place of rest and restoration for all who enter it, and that it will not only be a place of laughter and sweet memories for our family, but for all who come and visit.
