we absolutely loved it

First time in Port St Joe, and we absolutely loved it. The house and location at Windmark is wonderful, we had the most laid back vacation. We had the beach to ourselves most of the day, the grounds are stunning, and the golf cart was a great addition to our stay.. Thank you for our amazing family vacation!! Categories

definitely recommend

Super cute beach area with many boardwalks, golf cart trails, etc. while we did make good use of the golf cart, the pool and the beach are still very walkable! Our dog enjoyed walks through the neighborhood as we walked the boardwalks/trails to the adorable dog park! The ‘shopping area’ is still developing - will probably have more to do as it grows. We’d recommend the ice cream shop and the pizza place (weekday buffet!) Overall - definitely recommend. The house was perfect for us (mom & 6 teenagers) and I’d enjoy returning to this area as it continues to develop.

Ash’s place was great

We are a family of 5 and this was our 4th visit to the Windmark Community. We love the location - still a hidden gem (though it’s growing). Ash’s place was great - clean, more than enough room for our whole family to spread out and the golf cart was a major bonus. Ash was super communicative and even facilitated a quick turnaround fix for the golf cart which had an unexpected issue pop up.

Nice clean place

Nice clean place to stay. 10 minute drive to Mexico Beach and 35 minute drive to St. Joseph’s Peninsula State Park, both amazing places to enjoy the waves and fine white sand. Had plenty of things to take to the beach. The SJB walking distance from the house is a quiet beach without waves, good for small kids, fishing, and sunsets. Grocery shopping is 10-15 minutes away. Didn’t use the golf cart, we just drove to the surrounding beaches. The View restaurant upstairs was a nice place. The Cape Smokehouse on the drive home from SJP was really good BBQ.

Lovely home

Lovely home. There was only 4 of us so we had more space than we needed. Ash the host was so responsive and kind. I had a few questions prior to checking in and Ash back to us usually within 10 to 30 minutes. There was plenty of things to do right there in the wind mark community! This was also in all the info emails we received. We will definitely be back😎

Couldn't have been better!

Buckle up, dear reader, this will be lengthy. First, what an amazing stay we had in Port St. Joe. My family of 5 and my brother's family of 3 stayed together in this property, and it couldn't have gone better. House: The house is a recent build with modern everything. Its spacious and attractive on its own. The owners have added furnishings that improve the appeal. Its a bit of a split floor plan, which allowed our families to be together but have our own spaces. Master had huge bathroom and closet, which honestly could have worked as a nursery room had a baby or infant travled with us. Amenities: who could want more than private access to a tranquil beach? The neighborhood also features a village center with a few shops, restaurants, and even a bar with live music. There are plenty of boardealk style trails and a dog park for outdoorsy folks and companions. Also a huge private pool with full bar and playground. Location: the house is a 7-10 minute walk to the bay on Windmark Beach. Drive 10 minutes one way to the historic downtown Port St Joe with shops and restaurants. Drive 10 minutes the other way to Mexico Beach, another gorgeous beach town. Owners: If you have read this far, you can tell Im not shy to reach out. The property owners/managers were some of the kindest and communicative I have encountered. They really enhanced the stay and even checked in to see how we were doing mid-stay. I really truly cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Perfect family get-away

Perfect family get-away! The neighborhood is cute and quiet with everything you could need - pizza place, bar, ice cream/coffee shop, pool, literally everything! The house itself is cute but obviously very contractor grade. Just a bit flimsy. Also, be sure to read the host's check-in instructions thoroughly. They provided literally one trash bag, no cleaning supplies, and no dust pan (which is hard to clean sand without). All in all, we absolutely enjoyed your stay!!! Just make sure you're prepared.

Had a wonderful wedding weekend stay at the house. Located in Windmark, it was very convenient for us which is exactly what we needed. The house was squeaky clean,and in pristine shape. The hosts were super responsive (even after checkout when we realized we had forgotten items). Would not hesitate to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Ash

Host profile image
Our love for nature and the outdoors has led us to many family road trips across our beautiful country, however once we came over here, we fell in love with this area and knew that we will definitely be returning to explore more. Our kids also loved the area, not only do they get to enjoy the outdoors, but they also get to experience all the family entertainment that this area has to offer. So we decided to make this special place our home away from home and got a house over here where we can escape from our everyday busy lives and just relax, unwind and enjoy the best that nature has to offer.
We have cherished every moment that we have spent over here and made amazing memories along the way. It is our honor now to host you as a guest at our house so that you can immerse yourself in all that the area has to offer and make ever lasting memories of your own with your family and friends.
