Relax in Style at your Private Pool & Hot Tub w Beach, Food & Drinks Nearby
Welcome to VISTABLU Beach Cottage — your little escape to Florida’s Gulf Coast. This is the best location and amenities in Windmark Beach (walkable to the town center and beach with boardwalks, golf cart paths, walking trails everywhere, private pool & hot tub in the backyard)- it’s an invitation to enjoy the perfect beach vacation. Located on approximately 2,020 acres of pristine coastal dune, wetlands and forested shoreline, WindMark Beach is designed for a relaxed, elevated lifestyle. You’ll be walking or biking along shaded trail systems, boardwalks and a 3.5-mile BeachWalk that stretches beside the water- great for morning jogs, sunset strolls or simply inhaling deep gulf-air calm. The Village Center offers casual dining, boutique shopping, fitness facilities and beach-gear rentals — everything you need right in the neighborhood.
From the magnificent sand and surf of the Gulf and bay to the quiet charm of Port St. Joe’s small-town hospitality and live-music scene, you’ll discover a world far removed from crowded resorts. Your Stay at VISTABLU we’ve prepared everything so your group (up to 10 guests) can unwind, connect, celebrate—and repeat. Located in the heart of WindMark Beach, you’re within easy reach of the Village Center’s restaurants, ice cream, bike trails, the boardwalk and beach access — yet you have your own private sanctuary. Private pool & hot tub. Imagine lazy mornings and evenings in warm water while the sun rises and sets over the bay. Views of St. Joe Bay & the Gulf of Mexico: Sip your morning coffee on the bed swing and watch the water glisten. Direct boardwalk access to the beach: Step out the back door and you have your own walk-way to the sand and surf. Free beach gear: Small cooler-chairs, umbrella, wagon for hauling gear, and an ISLE inflatable paddleboard—so you’re equipped for fun from day one. Three furnished screened porches: Choose your view—sunrise, sunset, lounge, or reading nook. Fully stocked kitchen + premium amenities: Three coffee makers (K-Cup, drip, Nespresso) + grinder Two grills: Weber gas + Big Green Egg charcoal Smart TVs in each room High-speed WiFi Washer & dryer Board games, waffle iron, blender, full cookware and serveware Comfort & ease: Fine linens, plush towels, blankets, extra hangers, outdoor shower, pack-n-play and booster seat (on request) — we’ve thought of everything. Outdoor living: Paver walkways, fire pit for s’mores (check local burn-bans), breakfast on the front porch swings, sunset swing on the rear porch. Great location for food & fun: Within walking distance you’ll find ice cream & candy shop, Bruno’s Pizza, coffee shop, and more. A few-minute drive or leisurely bike ride takes you to dining options like The Mill, Sunrise Cafe, Uptown Raw Bar, Shipwrecked, White Marlin and more. Activities & adventure at your fingertips Miles of unspoiled beaches: Whether you stroll early morning or lounge midday, you’re immersed in one of Florida’s lesser-known gems. Fishing & boating: With access to St. Joe Bay and the Gulf, this area is a haven for inshore and offshore anglers. Nature & wildlife encounters: Keep an eye out for dolphins, manatees, bald eagles, rays, herons, sandpipers—and the possibility of spotting bobcats or black bears in the surrounding wild spaces. Community events & live music: Enjoy gatherings like the WindMark Beach Music Festival—a family-friendly concert right in the Village Center. Bike and walking trails: Whether you’re on the BeachWalk, exploring BayWalk or the Port City Trail, you’ll find walking, jogging or biking opportunities with scenic views and fresh air. Golf nearby: The St. Joe Bay Golf Club is about a 10-minute drive away—perfect for a relaxed round in serene surroundings.

The property was very clean and ideally located for access to the beach. The pool and the pool area very clean.Didn't use the Green Egg, but the Weber grill worked great!Great community close to downtown, but enough away to be quiet. The subdivision had a nice little array of shops and food services as well. The landscaping and flowers were very pretty and well kept.A definite do over in the future!!

Host was welcoming, accommodating, and responsive. The home was AMAZING! Loved the location, just a quick walk to the beach. Love the relaxed vibe of the area. The pool and hot tub were beautiful. Was able to pay to heat the pool, which made the trip
This is a fun house to stay at. Close to the beach area, walking paths, and the central area of the neighborhood. The pool is the perfect size along with the common areas of the house. We are looking forward to our next stay.
Overall, this is a great place for relaxing family vacation. Owner is very responsive. Only trade-off was having a nice walkable neighborhood and a private swimming pool, with a less than desirable beach.
Just returned from a stay at Vista Blu and it was fantastic all around. The home is well decorated in a great walkable community and close to the beach! We enjoyed both the walkable restaurants as well as the very close Port Saint Joe area. The WindMark community is such a beautiful community and we really enjoyed biking and walking through the development. The home has everything on your checklist to relax and feel at home. The pool and spa were definitely our favorites as well as both the front and back porch. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
If you are looking for a spacious house that has easy access to the beach and is in a beautiful community, this is it! Took my family "3 adults and 3 kids" to this area of florida for the first time. It was absolutely perfect! House is 100% as advertised was very clean upon arrival. My kids loved the pool and playing at the beach which was never packed like Panama city and other popular beach spots near here. We would absolutely stay here again!
The house was wonder.Beach was two minutes away and the neighborhood was so nice. Master bed was very nice. Screened in porch was so peaceful in the afternoon . Love the community. Pighky wiggly less than 5 minutes away. Dog loving community
This property was more than a vacation rental. It felt like a home. Very nice place and kid friendly. They thought of everything we could've ever needed! The child proof gates to the pool provided peace of mind. Friendly neighborhood with short walk to the beach. Special thanks to the host for being helpful and responsive.
We had a wonderful time staying here! The weather was in the 60’s and the heated pool was perfect. It was a little cooler than expected one morning, and I contacted the host and he graciously made a change and it was perfect the rest of the time. I mentioned the water was a little cloudy and the pool guy was there that day to treat it. Everything was great! Easy walk to a non crowded beautiful beach.
We enjoyed a wonderful spring getaway at VistaBlu and it did not disappoint. The location is absolutely perfect in Windmark with easy access to the city center as well as the beach. The property was beyond clean when we arrived, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Having a pool with a hot tub makes VistaBlu stand out amongst the rest. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We look forward to returning to this property!
Our family decided on Port St. Joe for spring break with a surprise visit from our oldest who is in the Air Force. We have stayed in the area before, but never here. The house had everything we needed! It is in a great location to the beach (which we were at most of the time) and the pool was an added bonus, which the kids spent most of the afternoons in. It was clean, spacious, and beautiful place to have fun but also relax.Joey was a great host and ensured we had everything we needed, and even provided a detailed email upon our arrival. He included several restaurant ideas, shops, and rental ideas. We thoroughly enjoyed Shoobie’s ice cream shop and renting bikes. We had a ton of laughs when playing the games that he provided in the house.We will definitely be back!
The home is beautiful and comfortable and clean. The village in the community is fun, friendly and easily accessible by walking or golf-cart. Having a private pool is perfect for night time dips and the neighborhood pool is large and fun with a bar and food available..the kids loved this.
The back porch bed swing was a favorite place to read and enjoy morning coffee and the sandy backyard saw a 3 generations or "boys" practicing baseball together.
The beach is an easy picturesque walk from the house and its not crowded, Occasional marine (manatees, crabs, dolphins and jumping fish can be seen.) It is a more natural sea shore, beach has some sea weed and water not crystal clear but the water is calm and you can walk at or float far out and only get up to your chest or waist. Sunsets are beautiful.........
If you enjoy walking, the trails, streets and beach are perfect and not crowded and the neighborhood is wonderfully friendly.
The town of St Joe's has wonderful restaurants and shopping and is very quaint.
The owner is promptly responsive when questions arose...
We enjoyed our time there very much....:) Thank you for a memorable family vacation.

We had three adults and three children and absolutely loved the house. The kids had a blast in the pool and walking back and forth to the beach on the boardwalks. The house had everything we needed for the week. The owner was easy to talk to and available when needed.
Property was lovely and as described. Kitchen was well equipped, house had all the necessities, and we enjoyed our stay. The gas, heated hot tub was the cherry on top, especially since the weather was colder than anticipated. Highly recommend!
What a great home! So close to the beach. The inside was gorgeous and the pool was so refreshing! So nice to jump in each evening! We couldn't say more nice things about this house! Will definitely return!!
This was our fourth time in PSJ and third time in Windmark. We love this community and this rental was our favorite. It’s such a quiet family friendly community and beach. The owner of this property was very helpful and had excellent communication with us, from his welcome email with lots of tips in it to his text check in with us. We can’t wait to come back!
