WindMark Community - The Blue Moon, A Spacious and Beautifully Decorated Home!
It's once in a Blue Moon that you find a vacation home like this one! The Blue Moon, built in 2020, is nestled in the beautiful beachside community of Windmark Beach. After spending your days at the beach or community pool, your family and friends will enjoy relaxing and playing in this spacious and beautifully decorated home that boasts four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The unique layout of this home features an attached, but separate living area complete with a bedroom, a full bathroom, living room, dining area, full kitchen, and laundry room that will perfectly accommodate two families or a large multigeneration family! A second living room is perfect for teens who want their own space, or a second family that has little ones who need a quiet place for naps. The open concept living area in the main house comfortably seats eight at the dining room table and then another five at the kitchen island. A modern and fully stocked kitchen will make those large family dinners a breeze. After dinner, enjoy a cocktail (or two) on the back porch or sitting by the firepit!
When you're ready to hit the beach, jump in the golf cart or hop on one of 6 bikes included. If you choose to walk, it’s four minutes from door to sand! Your day will be filled with adventure when you and the family explore our beautiful waters with two stand up paddle boards! After a long day at the beach, cool off in the large community pool.

For years, our family has rented other people’s vacation homes. Over these years, we have taken note of things we loved, and things that we did not. With this home, we have tried to think of all the things that make vacationing comfortable and appealing. We have a large family, and the things we think are important are lots of space, a comfortable and inviting outdoor area, a well-equipped and stocked kitchen (I hate having to bring spices!!), lots of towels, and a comfortable couch that fits everyone!! This home was appealing to us because it fit all our criteria. We absolutely love the home and have fallen in love with the neighborhood, and with Port St. Joe. We are so excited to share our home with you and your family, and hope that you will love it as much as we do! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you for considering the Blue Moon Beach House at Port St Joe for your vacation.

Perfect home near the bay!

We stayed with my parents, brother and his now finance, and our 4 young children. The space was plenty big for us each to branch out. It was very clean and Julia has the home stocked with everything you need for cooking down to an awesome day at the beach. It’s just a short walk to the beach or golf cart ride to the little town where our kids could get ice cream and go swimming in the heated pool. This location wasn’t crowded and really laid back which is more our style. We’d definitely love to come stay again! Our twins are ready to move to Florida after this trip!

Fabulous stay!

This house was perfect for our group of nine!Two stocked kitchens, two living spaces and fabulous sleeping accommodations for all of us. This host went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. She was very responsive while on property (there were no problems, just a few questions). The house itself was pristine and it is a part of a lovely community with boardwalks and pathways and a few shops/restaurants. The beach is an easy walk or an easier golf cart or bike ride (all provided). There were enough towels and chairs for all 9 of us! The house is a 5 minute drive to downtown Port St. Joe which has great shops and restaurants. I highly recommend this property and host!

This was our 2nd time staying at this property. As before, Julia was an incredible host. She made sure we had everything we needed before, during and after our stay. This place is wonderful! The house is beautiful, the neighborhood friendly & quiet, and the beach is a short walk or cart ride away. Our family loves all the amenities and our teens especially enjoyed the bikes.
