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.

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!

Seaside Special

We loved the property and the location of our unit. It is well maintained, with everything you need. We felt comfortable taking our dog out and about. Not taking any stars away on the review but I have to mention the cell service is terrible around the entire property.

Great base from which to enjoy Cape San Blas and the bay

LOVED the Pizza place in Windmark Beach - best Veggie pizza EVER! Apartment was very well laid out and comfortable for 2 adults and 2 small dogs. Parking for 1 car only! Owner thought we could park on the street but had a cop ringing the doorbell on day 3 and were told to park in the “city center” where the businesses are.

We loved it here!!

The house was perfect, location to everything was great! We loved our time here and would definitely recommend this place! Our only comment would be to have more than one roll of toilet paper available for a 7 day stay as we had to go buy some to get us through. Also, outdoor seating would have been nice, they did have one chair that was wobbly and a fold up camp chair was also available but a little outdoor table with chairs to enjoy morning coffee would have been nice. Still was a great place and we would definitely recommend it!!

Get away trip and home search

Early communication right after booking was odd. Didn’t hear anything at all until a couple days before arrival. Unit was nice, spacious and clean. Location was good with the beach and pool close. Another chair outside would be nice. Having only one was strange. We really enjoyed our stay. Angela was great and communication during stay was great!

Long overdue vaca

Planned this vacation for a very long time and of course my phone died right before I got the code. I couldn’t get it to charge back up. I used my sister’s phone to contact VRBO. They contacted the owner and got the code for me. No problems.. She was very nice…made feel comfortable. The neighborhood is super nice, my sister and I commented on how we feel safe here. There was a dog park we took our dogs to, and we went to the local beaches. A hurricane was coming, so I had to cut my vacation a little short, but all in all it was a perfect stay. I would totally recommend this apartment and renting from this owner. She was very understanding, and very sweet.

Pluses and minuses

Location was a plus. Arriving on Super Bowl Sunday to learn there was no regular TV, was a minus. Having a bedroom closet was a plus. Having no coat hangers in the closet was a minus. Having a coffee maker was a plus until it leaked. Being given a used replacement was a plus - but it didn’t work. Having to go out at night to buy a new coffee maker was a minus - but getting reimbursed by our host was a plus. Overall our stay in St Joe Beach was good. This was our first VRBO stay. No negative reflection on our host, but we will not rent through VRBO again. VRBO has too many additional charges! For our next stay, we will work directly with a local property manager/owner.

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.

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.

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.
