Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Great family friendly home! We traveled with three small kids, a dog, and grandparents and had plenty of space for everyone. The house was clean, fully stocked, and had a great floor plan. The golf cart was a must! The coffee maker stopped working and within an hour or so of reporting the issue, a new one was dropped off while we were out and about. 10/10 would stay again and recommend for a family.

The house was clean and well appointed with everything needed. Especially in the kitchen. The golf cart was the highlight to drive to the shops, pool, etc. Just don’t be deceived that the beach at WindMark is worth it. It’s one of the ugliest, dirtiest beaches I’ve seen! You have to drive by car to Mexico Beach to see a decent beach. While you’re in Mexico Beach stop at Killer Seafood food truck for awesome fish!
