We had a wonderful stay at this beach house in Windmark Beach. The home itself was beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax from the moment we arrived. One of the best parts was how close it was to the beach—just a short walk away, which made beach trips effortless. The kids especially had an amazing time, both at the house and down by the water. Overall, it was a fantastic place for a family getaway, and we would absolutely stay here again.

received several messages on how to check in and they conflated so it was a bit confusing. Also had no hot water for the first day of out stay, and then had an electrical issue the last day and half that we were there were several lights and outlets didn't work, and the stove didn't work so we couldn't cook dinner and breakfast during that time.

Wonderful stay!

We had wonderful visit! Property was clean and close to the ocean. Only drawbacks were there are no closets to hang your clothes, the bedrooms are not connected to the bathrooms (only 2 showers), and the loft upstairs has no door. Would definitely recommend and come again. Very peaceful community and the beach was not crowded at all!

Family Spring break getaway

We’ve visited Port St. Joe multiple times but this was our first time at Wabi Sabi house. It was a great space for our family of 4 adults and 5 teenagers. The checkin info was a little spotty. All gate and house code info that was emailed and texted prior to arrival was incorrect so we had to get ahold of management. Unfortunately the dishwasher broke the first day we were there so we spent a lot of time handwashing dishes that week (fixed by Thursday) It was good to see the Windmark area built up with shops and eateries. The community pool was nice and of course the beach so close is always a plus.

Sweet sunshine and peace

Wabi Sabi comfortably housed our party of 11 for one week in June 2025. Port St. Joe was exactly what my family and I needed. The house was a little quirky (which we didn’t mind) and the multiple sitting areas (inside and out) offered the various age groups places to hang. The kitchen was well stocked with all “tools” needed. The set of bunk beds are not queen as listed: they are full size. To make a few suggestions: a) throw blankets in the common area b) clean up the 2 minute walkway to the beach and c) spare sheets/blankets. If you are looking for a quiet space with beautiful sunsets, Wabi Sabi is it!

Relax in PSJ

Our stay in port St Joe FL was wonderful! The property was a perfect location. It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Having the bikes was a nice feature to ride around near by. We didn’t have a pass to get in to the pool areas but there were other guest in the neighborhood that were very kind to let us in. I would recommend bringing beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap and full size linens for the pullout sofa if you need to use it. Other than that you’ll have all you need to have an enjoyable stay!

16yo Birthday fishing trip

My son just turned 16 and wanted to bring a few buddies down to the beach to fish. Wabi Sabi was the perfect house to host this group given the large living space, bunk room, great outdoor space and proximity to the beach. Access to the amenities at Windmark and downtown PSJ were great too. The adults really enjoyed watching sunsets from the porch and snapped several postcard-like photos. The kitchen was interesting to navigate but we had no problem in making breakfast, dinner and lots of delicious snacks for this big group of hungry boys! We would absolutely stay at this property again and recommend it to friends. We really enjoyed the Wabi Sabi way of life!
