We just returned from an unforgettable 9 days and nights at Windrose, a stunning beach house on the Gulf Coast, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we knew this was going to be something special. The house is beautifully decorated with bright, coastal décor and thoughtful attention to detail that instantly makes you feel relaxed and on vacation mode.The location is unbeatable — just a short walk across the public beach access to one of the most beautiful stretches of sand we’ve ever seen. Every morning we enjoyed breathtaking dawn views over the water from the enclosed rear porch while having breakfast. The house itself is spacious and comfortable for two (and would easily accommodate more), equipped with modern appliances, and was impeccably clean throughout our stay. The open-concept living area was perfect, with cozy seating, a large flat-screen TV, and a well equipped kitchen that had everything we needed to prepare meals after long beach days.Highlights that made our stay exceptional:- Incredible proximity to the beach — we were in the sand in minutes- Outdoor shower for rinsing off after beach time (or even for full showers)- Wonderful thoughtful touches: beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, bicycles, sand toys, and especially the tandem swing with gorgeous beach viewsThe property was spotless when we arrived, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful the entire time.
