Great spot!

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This was our first time in Port St. Joe and we loved how the beaches weren’t crowded at all. The walk to the beach isn’t bad but the community pool is pretty far and we had to drive. I expected the pool to be bigger and we only ended up going once because it was so crowded on the day we tried it. The property manager was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our vacation. Highly recommend trying the Shipwreck restaurant which is only 7 mins from the house. So delicious! We will definitely be back and would love to stay here again in the future!

Precious Home

This home was one of my favs thus far in Windmark. It was decorated perfectly and the layout was awesome. My only negative was the fact that you can't turn the thermostat below 72. I get the reasoning but my body just really likes 68 🙂 Would definitely stay here again!!

Just Wonderful

You can't go wrong with this one. The home is so cheerful and comfortable. The neighborhood is so unique with the beach a few minutes walk away, shops, restaurants and pool area. It would be very nice to have a golf cart here. New Wave stays on top of everything. Respond within minutes.

Beautiful Rental

Loved our stay at this beautiful and tastefully decorated house. All the rooms are so spacious and the kitchen had everything and more than you would need! We especially enjoyed all of the outside porches and comfortable furniture. There was a problem with the TV not working but they were prompt trying to resolve the issue. This did not keep us from having a great weekend! Would definitely go back!

Comfortable stay near the water

The town was packed over Labor Day weekend with scalloping season and the festival going on. The following week was very peaceful. Bad year for scallops, but crabbing was great and caught a variety of fish. The house was very comfortable with all expected amenities. If I had to state some negatives, the microwave is at knee level, which was odd, and they do not allow boat parking which becomes a significant additional vacation cost at the marina. Overall we had a great vacation.

Great time spent with family!

We had a great time sharing the house with our oldest daughter, her husband and kids. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of space! The beach is within walking distance. The pool and Cornhole is a little further away than expected. It's a great small community for vacation away from the crowds. Overall was a wonderful get away for our family!
