We absolutely LOVED this house!! Our family’s most favorite vacation yet. The house has everything you could want and more. Fullllllyyyy stocked kitchen and so much living space was perfect for 4 adults and 2 young children. We were so impressed with the cleanliness of the house upon arrival! The driveway, lot space, and location of the house at the end of the street was excellent. The golf cart was so helpful to get to the pool & beach quickly. We all had so much fun on the bikes as well! Windmark is such a nice neighborhood, quiet and safe.Rachell was an excellent host- always available for questions and help when we had to ask. This was our first time in Port St. Joe and we can’t wait to come back!!
