We loved the local vibe feel of this place. The community pool was amazing. Plus the little shops and restaurants a few blocks away. The bike paths are abundant for those who enjoy bike riding. Such beautiful views of Port St. Joe while you are biking.

It was convenient and not too far from where family was staying. It was clean. The e-mails were not very user friendly…text messages would have been easier to use. Had trouble with door lock when we first arrived but after a phone call the host came and took care of that.

Perfect getaway spot

We had a fabulous time at Windmark Beach. This little MIL suite was perfect for us and had everything we could ever need. Like a home away from home. Delightfully decorated and plenty of towels. Loved having a washer and dryer also! It is located close to the little shopping area and the pool. Would recommend renting a golf cart to get to beach or park at the pool and walk from there. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved the property and the location of our unit. It is well maintained, with everything you need. We felt comfortable taking our dog out and about. Not taking any stars away on the review but I have to mention the cell service is terrible around the entire property.

Great base from which to enjoy Cape San Blas and the bay

LOVED the Pizza place in Windmark Beach - best Veggie pizza EVER! Apartment was very well laid out and comfortable for 2 adults and 2 small dogs. Parking for 1 car only! Owner thought we could park on the street but had a cop ringing the doorbell on day 3 and were told to park in the “city center” where the businesses are.

Thank you Angela for your warm welcome to your wonderful, cozy and beautiful house!!! We really enjoyed our time there! Thank you for providing and meeting our needs!! I really didn’t realize how really convenient and accessible your house is, until I explored your area. It’s the best location for such a friendly and peaceful vacation! Thank you again! Hope to stay there again!!!

We loved it here!!

The house was perfect, location to everything was great! We loved our time here and would definitely recommend this place! Our only comment would be to have more than one roll of toilet paper available for a 7 day stay as we had to go buy some to get us through. Also, outdoor seating would have been nice, they did have one chair that was wobbly and a fold up camp chair was also available but a little outdoor table with chairs to enjoy morning coffee would have been nice. Still was a great place and we would definitely recommend it!!

Didn’t realize it was attached to owners home but it all worked out! Cute place with short commute to beach! I could have walked but with our dog, chair and beach bag etc… it was easier to drive a couple minutes than walk with all that!

Get away trip and home search

Early communication right after booking was odd. Didn’t hear anything at all until a couple days before arrival. Unit was nice, spacious and clean. Location was good with the beach and pool close. Another chair outside would be nice. Having only one was strange. We really enjoyed our stay. Angela was great and communication during stay was great!

Charming Apartment in the Windmark Community

First time to Port St Joe, and it was a very pleasant stay. The apartment was well appointed, clean, quiet and very comfortable for our needs. We travel with our Senior Dog and his Cat brother. We need a flat entry/exit for our dog , he can’t do stairs. Night time potty breaks were super easy, and we felt very safe. This rental was perfect for us as we explored the charming Windmark community during the day, sunset walks and dinners at the most amazing local seafood restaurants.

Family stay with dogs

We enjoyed our time at this community! Pros: -nice neighborhood with short walk to the beach and a small town center -the unit is new and everything was very clean -spacious 1 bedroom for our family and 2 dogs -the manager is extremely quick to respond and helped us with anything we needed Cons: -this is an apt adjacent to the main house and we had a few minor issues with the other renters which were resolved after the first day -there is a outdoor cat living in the garage so just be aware if your dog would have an issue with that

The location was great and in a nice neighborhood. We loved all of the bicycling/golf cart paths. Not the owners fault, but as we pulled up the cleaners were leaving. However, they did not clean the living room floor. It was still sandy and after using a swiffer mop it was obviously not mopped. Other than that the inside of the apartment was fine.As others have said, the outdoor seating is not as shown. There is one very wobble chair with a table.What I really did not like, was a camera literally in your face right outside the entrance.We did get to rest and relax which is what we needed.

St Joe Windmark Home

Property was nice. Not enough toilet paper to get through the first night. That made me very unhappy, because of that I won’t recommend. The door knob with code quit working , so I felt vulnerable when I left the property, I locked myself out because I got in the habit of locking the bottom door knob, and forgot to unlock it the next morning on the last day and there was no way I could get back in until the owners got back from their vacation, later that evening. The toilet paper issue should be addressed, I am not the only one that had experienced that.
