We Come to You

We Shop 20+ Carriers

We Know Coastal Risk
Elevation, flood zones, wind exposure and construction type all drive your premium. We explain each one in plain English.
A Real Office Nearby
Our Port St. Joe office is just up the coast on US-98, with a local team who picks up the phone when a storm is on the way.
Coverage Built for the Forgotten Coast
Franklin County is one of the most beautiful and least crowded stretches of Florida’s coast, and insuring property here takes local knowledge. Homes on St. George Island sit on a barrier island exposed to Gulf wind and storm surge. Historic homes in Apalachicola, working waterfront businesses in Eastpoint and Carrabelle, and bayfront properties at Alligator Point each come with their own coverage questions.
We help you look at the whole picture: wind and hurricane deductibles, flood coverage (which a standard homeowners policy never includes), replacement cost for elevated coastal construction, and the right policy type if you rent your home to visitors. We also look for savings, like Florida wind-mitigation credits, elevation certificates that can lower flood premiums, and comparing carriers every renewal.
Whether the island is your full-time home, your family’s beach house or an investment property, our Port St. Joe team will build coverage around how you use it, and meet you in Franklin County when it’s easier for you.

What Our Forgotten Coast
Neighbors Are Saying
I didn’t even know insurance could be this easy until I worked with Sheena at Daffin Insurance in Port St. Joe. I never even had to leave the house. Everything was handled through email — smooth, quick, no hassle… Sheena took one look at my policies and basically said, “Oh we can fix this,” and proceeded to save me a TON of money on both my auto and home insurance.
Shannon and the ladies at Daffin Insurance are extremely helpful and helped us find the best policy while saving us money! Excellent customer service and great care is taken. Thank you for making the experience and transition easy!
