About the host

Hosted by Julie Hall

Host profile image
Julie Hall was searching for a coastal place near the water. She came across a house and discovered the previous owner was Mark Inabnit who was known for his publications, one well known today as Houston Home and Gardens.

He passed away in 1997, never able to complete his project with the house.
Julie's background in interior design was up for the challenge to convert the concrete block house into her dream home and that is exactly what she did!

Windmill Gardens Inn today is well known as a landmark with a Windmill perched upon the roof that provides a unique style of its own. Each of the units are designed differently with a name setting apart the artistic flare to make anyone feel right at home.

Why they chose this property

Windmill Gardens Inn can be envisioned as a nest of tropical cottage and bungalow-style accommodations nestled in a truly sub-tropical jungle setting.
You will feel as though you have entered into a little bit of Eden, as the tensions of a busy world seem to melt away....
....the very moment you arrive.

What makes this property unique

The gardens were created and are managed by a well-known horticulturist with a passion for Tropical Botany and who is responsible for helping to create, nurture and grow some of the largest and most fabulous professional gardens on the Gulf Coast.
