We had a blast!
This home was beautiful and in a good location! The only thing we didn’t like was sharing the mother in law suite with someone we don’t know. The house had more supplies and toiletries than we needed for our stay. We loved the area!

Windmark Beach
Nice property with all the necessary amenities and more. The house was thoughtfully stocked with childcare items for small children, games for the family, and plenty of cookware. The community is quiet, safe, and conveniently located. BEWARE that the VRBO listing does not include all of the HOA rules for the community. Especially that boats and RVs are not allowed.

Great location and neigborhood
The view from the back porch is great and the home was well stocked. Pool listing should be updated to inform visitors they will have to drive to the other Windmark neighborhood to use their pool until North’s is finished.

Very clean a nice.
We enjoyed our stay there. Nothing negative but the mother-in-law suite was a little weird. Our dogs barked at the adjoining door when someone was there. I felt bad. Overall I would stay there again.

Newer construction in a friendly neighborhood
The pool was great. Lots of interesting people to chat with poolside. Spacious interior. Excellent kitchen space with all the dishes for cooking and eating. Loved the Blackstone on the back patio; hibachi was a hit! If you aren’t aware, the shared mother-in-law suite may be accessed from a common door. Luckily, no one was there during our rental.

Great stay if you are ok w/ in-law suite arrangement
Overall, great value for the price. We have zero complaints about the property, amenities, cleanliness, booking agency and thoroughly enjoyed our week. We understood ahead of time that the in-law suite would be rented out by someone else so we were ok with the few quirks. The driveway is shared and the interior door between the two spaces is not sound-proof at all. The renters of the suite were great but you can hear the tv, dishes, microwave, and pets through it easily. They were also able to unlock the shared door, which would have been unsettling if we hadn’t had the renters we had. It was just a dead-bolt they could turn from their side. Surely it can be locked better, it just wasn’t worth contacting Vacasa for us.

Beautiful home, unfinished community no beach access
This is a very beautiful, clean home. Beds were comfortable, it was spacious, and well furnished and stocked. Unfortunately the listing misrepresented there being beach access, pool, and playground (all under construction). None of these amenities were available and those are some of the key reasons we chose this property. The listing also did not mention the mother in law suite attached by a very thin door. We could hear people talking/coughing, etc. And I'm sure they could hear us. It was a little unsettling. I tried reaching out to the contact given hoping for some sort of discount or other option to make it right, but didn't receive anything other than a, "Thank you for this information." The neighborhood was very friendly and the neighbors were even angry on our behalf that the listing so misrepresented the property and were helpful with making beach access recommendations.

Amazing stay
Everything and shopping is only 3 miles away in both directions. Friendly people, huge swimming pool, no Karen's to bother you, most of all very very pet friendly. Totally worth the price we paid and some. ****** our host was amazing and fun to talk with.

Great place to stay for a weekend of scalloping!
This is our second time staying in Windmark, but this house is on the north side about a mile away from the main Windmark. We really liked this house a lot. It had a surprise view of the water from the dining room/family room doors leading to the patio which we didn’t expect but was much appreciated. The house itself is just what we were looking for and is about 25 minutes from Cape San Blas. Being a drive away from the restaurants of south Windmark was not a problem at all for us. The beach access is very close, as is the pool, which thankfully was NOT steaming despite the warm air temperatures (the pool in south Windmark was basically unusable the last time we stayed!). The house is very nicely decorated (except for the TV dinner trays used for night stands in the master BR but we didn’t mind). The only gripes I have were mostly with the management company, who had a very sterile and corporate feel. The sheets were not out on the top bunks, and we were informed that “Vacasa does not put sheets on top bunks” which is a bit disappointing considering their share of the fees! I’m sure this is some corporate rule to prevent falls or back injuries! Anyway, the kitchen could use a few more utensils, we would have appreciated coffee filters being supplied (we got a bunch and left them), and the puzzle we did was missing like 10 pieces and should be tossed (I suspect the other puzzles were the same). Despite those small things, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Great Stay Away From Home
The property was in new condition with great decor and everything you need for a stress free time away. My wife and I enjoyed the week and the short walk to the beach, which we had to ourselves each day. We are looking forward to returning again some day.

Our first trip to Port St.Joe
This was a great spot for couples or families, had a very family friendly atmosphere, and loved how dog friendly everything was! We loved the neighborhood we stayed in, conveniently located to restaurants in Port St. Joe, but the stay also accommodated for cooking at the house, which was nice. The house was clean, especially for it being a dog friendly stay. Thankfully no one was in the mother-in-law suite while we were there. Overall it was a great stay and we loved being able to take a trip with our dogs!
