Lovely Home w/ Screened-In Porches, Balcony & Shared Pool - Walk to the Beach

Windmark - Nautical Nonsense

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Beautifully situated with a beach access boardwalk directly across the street, this home provides plenty of room for your family and friends to relax after a day spent in Port St. Joe's soft white sand. Enter through a screened-in porch - one of three at the house - to find a main-level living space that's open, air conditioned, and full of sunlight, bringing together the living room, the dining area, and the kitchen. It's a breezy space where you can flip pancakes on the gas range in the morning, sip a cup of coffee at the two-person island breakfast bar, and gather each evening for dinner at the six-person table and a movie on the big-screen TV. Spend your mornings walking to the beach and the nearby community swimming pool, your afternoons lingering on the front and back porches, and your evenings sleeping soundly as the day's swimsuits and towels spin in the private washer/dryer. The bedrooms are all upstairs, with each offering its own flatscreen TV and the master suite featuring a private, screened-in balcony with a pair of comfortable rocking chairs.

What's nearby:
The pristine beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are a short walk from this home, with the closest boardwalk accessible right across the street. You'll also be able to stroll to the community pool, located just west of the WindMark Beach village green (less than half a mile north) - a lovely place to catch an outdoor movie or bring a picnic in the summer months. This is a great area for fishing and scalloping, so you can catch your own dinner or easily visit the local favorites that await in downtown Port St. Joe only four miles south.

Things to know:
Free WiFi and cable
Full kitchen
Outdoor shower
Snowbird-friendly
No RVs, boats, or trailers are allowed

Roaches
The home is spacious and well cleaned. HOWEVER, the 7 bait stations/ bug traps in the kitchen, that I initially assumed are for ants, are probably for the roaches. That's correct. The second morning of our stay, there were Roaches crawling on and around the stove. I called Vacasa customer service. The staff person told me that nothing could be done immediately because the issue was not a safety issue. The staff person nicely explained that an exterminator could come spray next week, but was not available on the weekend and a weekend house call would cost the rental owner extra expense. The Vacasa rep provided an email and requested pics. I emailed the pics and requested a response. I never heard back. I have an intense fear of roaches. I threw out the food I'd purchased and we ate out instead of cooking. We left very early the next morning. We took precautions against carrying the bugs to our home. Our vacation was full of anxiety. Roaches were obviously a known, pre-existing problem with this unit, yet it was rented to me anyway. That's dishonest.

Great mothers day get away
Great location, the property was very clean and inviting. We ventured to the shops towards the entrance and ate at Brunos pizza which was excellent. We didn't realize that the Mills store was a complete general store with coffee and a liquor until the last day which would have saved a few trips when we needed small items. So check there first, also the Piggly Wiggly was on par with any Publix I've ever been in. Only blemish was the restaurant 'View on old 98' food was Flavorless and very little selection, save your money and venture downtown to Uptown raw bar and grill or any other restaurant and you'll have a better experience!

Visit to meet friends
We gathered on location as friends to enjoy and spend some time together and spend some time with other friends who are serving close by. We found the property very clean, well furnished, beds were very comfortable. The people we worked with were very kind, courteous and helpful throughout. We would definitley recommend this to others and we will probably return.

Everything we hoped it would be
This home was all I had hoped it would be. Honestly I can’t say enough about it. We came with 3 small children (5 and below), so my experience comes through that lense. As someone with allergies, I really appreciated the new construction (i know that’s a hurricane outcome and not just a perk but it was still a welcomed option) and the fact that this home was designed like an actual home that people would want to live in full time, not just as a beach house. It was functional, open, clean, tastefully decorated and well supplied. My daughters loved the sweet Paris themed bedroom. Nothing in terms of what I read in the critical comments had not been addressed already. One reviewer mentioned that the master is just two twin beds pushed together- come to find out it’s an adjustable bed with massage settings. So no complaints here! The kitchen was clean and full of every kind of dish and utensil I could need, including child friendly plastic plates and cups. There’s even an electric grill on the porch so we enjoyed using that. The living room had an extra large comfy couch, no issues with the tv or Internet. If we were staying longer we would have needed a baby gate for the stairs, so if you’re coming with small kids that would maybe be worth packing. The pool is a bit of a walk but nowhere near as bad as reviewers had me expecting. My toddlers handled it just fine. And it’s a great pool! The beach was a super easy walk and we spent most of our time there. Important to plan your meals well when coming to Port St Joe due to limited grocery options and the restaurants are all struggling with staffing like everywhere else. Your grocery options are the piggly wiggly and the dollar general market (which I was pleasantly surprised by), but if you have a complicated menu planned you may want to stop in PCB on your way in. The market for vacation rentals is insane and prices are higher- this rental was the best possible use of that money and worth every penny for a peaceful, comfortable and relaxing week with our young little family. Stay out of the crowded beach cities and come relax here! You won’t regret it. We plan to come back!

Windmark Beach is a hidden gem!
This property and neighborhood were great! The boardwalk right next to the house made it an easy walk to the beach. A few things we liked: - very quiet beach - property is new, very nice! - community pool - restaurant in Village Center, the View in Old 98 - renting bikes was very easy thru Barefoot Rentals - short drive to Port St. Joe, check out Schoobies for ice cream Some other things to call out (not “cons” just FYI) - only 1 community pool and it’s a pretty good walk for small kids - there is a playground at the community pool but it’s nothing great - No nearby major grocery store like Publix. There is a Piggly Wiggly nearby so wasn’t a huge deal!

Not clean in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC
This home is in Windmark Beach community. It is a beautiful master planned community. We loved the layout of the home, the quietness of the community, the bike-ability of the community, the safety of the area. On the other hand, the home was not well cleaned (especially during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC), the kitchen dishes, etc seemed to be sourced from a second hand store, and no walkway from the driveway to the back screened porch (garage was not available for use by guests). Upon check-in we excitedly looked around the house and realized that it had not been cleaned well at all! The toilets & showers had remnants of the previous occupants. The sofa was covered in sand/crumbs/dirt. The floor had a ton of sand/dirt all over. We called and spoke to Ashley with Vacasa and he offered to have someone come and clean again but we had already moved in and did not want strangers coming into the house. We took the time clean for the first hour and half of our stay to ensure it was clean and SANITIZED. When speaking with Ashley, I expressed my disappointment that during a global pandemic, the house was clearly not cleaned or sanitized as the Vacasa website described. This is a pretty home, new construction, and mostly a short walk to the beach. We had a wagon to cart our beach stuff back and forth and utilizing the driveway was easiest (as opposed to the front door/walkway). It would be nice if they installed a path from the driveway to the back porch or establish the garage as guest usable space to store their beach stuff. After multiple follow-ups with Ashley via text and calls, the ONLY compensation for the uncleanliness was a refund of the cleaning fee. This is totally unacceptable during a global pandemic. Vacasa’s website states “We're going above and beyond to support your health and safety with our Vacasa Premium Clean program. These expanded housekeeping measures meet or exceed CDC recommendations and align with guidance from hospitality industry experts.Our professional, trained housekeepers follow a comprehensive cleaning procedure after every stay, including sanitizing and disinfecting for your protection.” This was clearly not the case.
