The Company has opened six hotels since the start of 2023 and now owns, either individually or through joint ventures, 12 hotels with 1,298 rooms. These new openings included the Embassy Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach Resort, Camp Creek^SM Inn, The Lodge 30A, Home2 Suites by Hilton Santa Rosa Beach, Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina and Residence Inn Panama City Beach Pier Park. These properties add to and complement St. Joe’s existing portfolio of hotels which includes WaterColor^® Inn, Watersound Inn^® and The Pearl Hotel along the Scenic Highway 30A corridor as well as Homewood Suites by Hilton Panama City Beach, Hilton Garden Inn Panama City Airport and TownePlace Suites by Marriott Panama City Beach Pier Park. Collectively, these hotels offer a wide range of accommodations, experiences and amenities for every individual, family and budget.

The growth of the Watersound Club^® membership program also contributed to the record-breaking quarterly results. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 3,571 club members as compared to 2,853 club members as of the same date in 2023. In addition to Shark’s Tooth and Camp Creek^® golf courses, a new 18-hole golf course, named The Third, is currently under construction with other club amenities in the planning stages to service the growing membership. A collection of marinas, restaurants, recreational activities and retail locations complete the Company’s hospitality portfolio.

“Seeing this level of success from our hospitality operations, particularly with so many new property openings, is incredible,” said Patrick Murphy, Senior Vice President of Hospitality for St. Joe. “I believe this success is a result of our ability to now service a variety of travelers with a range of products from high-end boutique inns and expansive resorts to select service hotels. With our vast land holdings, we are positioned to continue to seek new opportunities to expand and further diversify our portfolio of assets to capture more travelers, club members and customers in the future.”
