Relax in Style at your Private Pool & Hot Tub w Beach, Food & Drinks Nearby
Welcome to VISTABLU Beach Cottage — your little escape to Florida’s Gulf Coast. This is the best location and amenities in Windmark Beach (walkable to the town center and beach with boardwalks, golf cart paths, walking trails everywhere, private pool & hot tub in the backyard)- it’s an invitation to enjoy the perfect beach vacation.
Located on approximately 2,020 acres of pristine coastal dune, wetlands and forested shoreline, WindMark Beach is designed for a relaxed, elevated lifestyle.
You’ll be walking or biking along shaded trail systems, boardwalks and a 3.5-mile BeachWalk that stretches beside the water- great for morning jogs, sunset strolls or simply inhaling deep gulf-air calm.
The Village Center offers casual dining, boutique shopping, fitness facilities and beach-gear rentals — everything you need right in the neighborhood.
From the magnificent sand and surf of the Gulf and bay to the quiet charm of Port St. Joe’s small-town hospitality and live-music scene, you’ll discover a world far removed from crowded resorts.
Your Stay at VISTABLU we’ve prepared everything so your group (up to 10 guests) can unwind, connect, celebrate—and repeat. Located in the heart of WindMark Beach, you’re within easy reach of the Village Center’s restaurants, ice cream, bike trails, the boardwalk and beach access — yet you have your own private sanctuary.
Private pool & hot tub. Imagine lazy mornings and evenings in warm water while the sun rises and sets over the bay.
Views of St. Joe Bay & the Gulf of Mexico: Sip your morning coffee on the bed swing and watch the water glisten.
Direct boardwalk access to the beach: Step out the back door and you have your own walk-way to the sand and surf.
Free beach gear: Small cooler-chairs, umbrella, wagon for hauling gear, and an ISLE inflatable paddleboard—so you’re equipped for fun from day one.
Three furnished screened porches: Choose your view—sunrise, sunset, lounge, or reading nook.
Fully stocked kitchen + premium amenities:
Three coffee makers (K-Cup, drip, Nespresso) + grinder
Two grills: Weber gas + Big Green Egg charcoal
Smart TVs in each room
High-speed WiFi
Washer & dryer
Board games, waffle iron, blender, full cookware and serveware
Comfort & ease: Fine linens, plush towels, blankets, extra hangers, outdoor shower, pack-n-play and booster seat (on request) — we’ve thought of everything.
Outdoor living: Paver walkways, fire pit for s’mores (check local burn-bans), breakfast on the front porch swings, sunset swing on the rear porch.
Great location for food & fun: Within walking distance you’ll find ice cream & candy shop, Bruno’s Pizza, coffee shop, and more. A few-minute drive or leisurely bike ride takes you to dining options like The Mill, Sunrise Cafe, Uptown Raw Bar, Shipwrecked, White Marlin and more.
Activities & adventure at your fingertips
Miles of unspoiled beaches: Whether you stroll early morning or lounge midday, you’re immersed in one of Florida’s lesser-known gems.
Fishing & boating: With access to St. Joe Bay and the Gulf, this area is a haven for inshore and offshore anglers.
Nature & wildlife encounters: Keep an eye out for dolphins, manatees, bald eagles, rays, herons, sandpipers—and the possibility of spotting bobcats or black bears in the surrounding wild spaces.
Community events & live music: Enjoy gatherings like the WindMark Beach Music Festival—a family-friendly concert right in the Village Center.
Bike and walking trails: Whether you’re on the BeachWalk, exploring BayWalk or the Port City Trail, you’ll find walking, jogging or biking opportunities with scenic views and fresh air.
Golf nearby: The St. Joe Bay Golf Club is about a 10-minute drive away—perfect for a relaxed round in serene surroundings.
Ease of convenience: Grocery store, mini-mart, coffee shop, and casual cafes are all within a short drive or ride.
Why this home is right for your stay
We’ve designed VISTABLU to feel like your “home away from home” and your “wow” vacation experience. Whether you’re gathering large families, friends, multi-generational groups or celebrating something special, every detail supports both rest and adventure.
We’ll send a welcome email before your stay with tailored recommendations—whether you’d rather go fishing, paddle-boarding in the bay, take a sunset cruise or simply unwind poolside with no agenda. Let me know any special requests ahead of time and i’ll aim to make your stay enjoyable.

About the host
Hosted by Joey Johnston
Providing a great experience for guests to relax, recharge and enjoy time with family and friends is what I do! I’m a Middle Tennessee native, working in residential real estate and self manage rental property.
Why they chose this property
We love Windmark beach because it has the space to really enjoy the beach and be surrounded by nature. The peace and quiet, stars at night, uncrowded beaches, fishing off the beach and in the Gulf, drinks & ice cream at the walkable Windmark beach town center. The kids love the Sweet Shack, Sunrise Cafe, Bruno’s Pizza & golf cart rides. Everyone loves the backyard hot tub, sunsets & beach bonfire s’mores!
What makes this property unique
The private pool and hot tub are heated with natural gas- capable of heating the pool to a comfortable temperature anytime of year. There are three screened porches, an outdoor shower, tiki toss, bed swing, two grills, beach chairs, beach towels and complimentary soaps because we want you to have an awesome stay! Views of St. Joe Bay and the Gulf of America from all beachside windows, this home is surrounded by palms and pines with a saltwater backdrop. Proximity to Windmark Beach town center & boardwalk directly to the sandy beach just out the back door!
