We didn't realize this "apartment" was actually part of a family home, so that was odd for us. However, the space fit us 2 just fine, the bed was comfortable, and the surrounding area was lovely. When you're out of the neighborhood (which is a bunch of single family homes, not very "resort" like), you can enjoy the pool and direct access to the beach. We had a lot of gear to wash after beach adventures and this property had a hose, outdoor shower, and plenty of space to dry all of our stuff. The host was great and helpful. If you're looking for a very reasonably priced place to stay that checks the essentials boxes this will work for you.

To clarify, this apartment shares a wall with another unit. The two units make up a single family home, but there is no adjoining door, so it's not "part of anything" a home. it's an apartment until, like all apartments, sharing a wall and this is listed in several places in the listing. There should be no expectation that an apartment is a free-standing unit. There is a seperate side entrance to the apartment and contains a full kitchen, living room and separate full bedroom and bathroom. As for the resort features, there are two resort-caliber community pools, 10 boardwalks to beach access, restaurants, gym, shops, spa, bars, a paved, lushly landscaped bike path along the palm tree lined coast, dog park, fire pits, and much more! Google Windmark Beach to see : )

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.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Port. St Joe over the Memorial Day weekend. Lovely apartment, clean and quiet. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Port St. Joe. Would love to go back again for a longer stay.

Wi-Fi was fine for telephone tablets and computer. Television sets were older and Wi-Fi connections were unreliable. You’re staying in the equivalent of a mother-in-law suite. Enter through the side of the house. It is relatively new and good for a couple or a couple with one child. The port Saint Joe area is very nice with good seafood, and good access to the beach.

The apartment was absolutely perfect for myself and my daughters. We felt right at home. We loved being able to walk Windmark’s community trails and to the beach each night. Angela was am amazing host and easy to contact and communicate with during our stay with anything we needed. We will definitely be coming back!

The space was very nice for our family of four. The kids slept on the day bed and trundle, while we slept in the large bed in the bedroom. We cooked breakfast both mornings and the kitchen had everything you’d need. Everything was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. The large beach umbrella provided that we used was very helpful. And the outside shower is very handy. If I were forced to have a criticism…hmm. No staples in the stapler…lol. We did not bring a chip clip so we were trying to improvise to no avail.It’s a nice walk through the neighborhood to some shops, restaurants, and easy beach access and a short drive to the heart of Port St. Joe. We didn’t get a chance to swim in the neighborhood pool but we did check it out one evening when we were taking sunset pictures on the nearby beach, and it seemed very nice. I’d stay there again for sure based on the location, affordability, anmenities, and space.

The location and community are great but the unit didn't look like the photos, it needed a good cleaning and we could hear yelling through the walls and witnessed teenagers fighting in the driveway.

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.

The emails to confirm bookings are auto generated from VRBO and I've double checked that they are accurate. Upon booking the guest is also provided the manager/host cell phone number to call or text. This guest did have a hard time understanding that the lock icon has to be pressed after the code. He just kept putting in the code on the digital lock without then pressing the lock button, so I came to the unit to demonstrate putting in the 4 digit code then pressing the lock button. There was never anything wrong with the lock. Not sure why that effort afforded a 3 star review, but I am a very caring and responsive host. please check other reviews.

I read all the other reviews before booking. I found the the home to be very clean, and there was more than enough toilet paper. The price was also unbeatable for the area, you can't get a better deal. You really don't have to leave the neighborhood, everything you would want in a beach vacation is on site. Screen shot door and pool codes before you get to there, phone service is spotty in the entire area, even AT&T but you'll experience that everywhere you go in Port St Joe and Mexico Beach. Also good to know, the time will change frequently from one pool chair to the next. I was wondering why I thought it was 3:00 and a few minutes later it was 2:00 and a half hour later it was 3:30. The neighborhood is literally sitting on central time and eastern time zone line. I gave up trying to figure out what time it really was but, if you're on vacation whats it matter!! Would definitely recommend this home.

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!
