Sweet Stay In PSJ

Had a great time staying in this home. Nicely decorated, very clean, everything worked well, beds good, really appreciated the fenced in yard for our dog. Home backs to the Port Trail, gives easy access for walking, biking all over town. Would stay again!

This was a great property. We love the convenience of location to our son’s house. The rocking porch was a great and peaceful place.

House was beautiful but floors were terrible. Everything else was wonderful but dishes were dirty.

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 16, 2026
Thank you for your 4‑star review. I’m glad you found the house beautiful and that most of your stay was wonderful. I’m sorry the floors were in poor condition and that the dishes weren’t clean on arrival — that’s not the standard we expect. We’ve alerted our housekeeping and maintenance teams to address the cleaning and flooring issues. If you can share any specific details or photos through Vrbo messages, that will help us follow up. We hope to host you again.

Football

Grest communication with the staff. They had to relocate us before our arrival date and everything went smoothly. WindMark was a great location for walking, proximity to PCB and PSJ. A littke bit of a drive to Tally for the game but overall great!

Thank you for your feedback. Without details of your stay, it's difficult for us to address any concerns or improve for future guests. If you can, please share specifics through your Vrbo message so we can review and correct any issues. The floors were all replaced the week after you left and that may have been an issue for you that the home owners have resolved. We hope you return to see the improvements.
