This house is so nice, and the location was perfect. QIt is just about the closest to the pool as you can get in this big neighborhood. From the driveway, it was less than 1 minute to the pool and 5 minute walk to the beach (maybe less if you aren’t dragging all the kids and wagon of stuff). Our four kids loved the house! It was plenty of space for the 6 of us. The girls loved the bunk beds as well as the adorable doll house in the master closet (such a fun and unique touch!) Overall, the house had everything we needed and we appreciated the use of all the beach gear in the garage. We also loved that the backyard was fenced in and my son loved playing ping pong and darts in the garage. We will definitely be back to stay at this property! It was a perfect vacation!

The house was clean and comfortable for our family. We had more than enough space since it was just my husband, myself, our 9 year old son, and 3 year old daughter. The beds we did use were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the games in the garage. I think my daughter’s favorite thing was the Barbie playhouse in the master closet. The pool was close by. We always use a golf cart when we stay in Windmark but we really only used it this year to ride to the beach and the other pool by the city center. We would defiantly stay here again.

Crabbing, scalloping, swimming and golf

The location was ideal for our group. Being so close to the pool and boardwalk to the beach was great. The walk to the beach with gear can be long but doable. This house had wagons, crab nets, and chairs which were helpful. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are very comfortable. We would stay here again.

Wonderful time with family. Property was perfect for us. Small detail was that 4 beach chairs were listed as being at property. Actually only had 2 chairs, one of which was broken. Otherwise no surprises other than house was newer than expected which was a plus. Would stay again.

Always book with a local Vacation Rental Manager

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a joy it was to book Sea'ing Stars. Super clean and organized with lots of room for 4 men on a fishing trip. We stayed for a few days and loved the house. Perfect location, 10 mins from downtown Port St Joe, across the street from the pool and beach and in a safe, quite neighborhood of Windmark Beach. Brittney was very helpful picking out a house that was just right for us. The property was everything we needed, and had ping pong, corn hole and other game to keep up entertained. Brittney also was very responsive to the questions we had once we got into town. Already looking to book again for another trip.

The check-in process for the house went smoothly. It was easy to communicate via text message with the host. The house is very pet friendly with a fenced in backyard. The house was very clean inside and out. It has well equipped in the kitchen. We had enough space for five adults and one baby. The neighborhood the house is in is sl7 minutes from Mexico, Beach and 11 minutes from Port Saint Joe so it’s settled in the middle of both which was nice. The pool is not far from the house just as it said in the description and it was very nice family oriented area. We would stay at this house again and we were happy with our visit.

Potentially great!

The location is not close to the main developed beach area. You can walk across the dunes to access the beach but it’s not as depicted. They are building a new amenity section next door and once complete it will be great! The other issue was ants! The property manager was great coming out but it’s impossible to keep them out the builder is shoddy that built the house it’s beautiful inside though.

Nice property, misrepresented location

House was nice, new construction. We were traveling with 2 adults but it would be suitable for 2 young families. Seemed like the kitchen and living spaces were well furnished. My issue was that I specifically booked this property because the dropped pin on VRBO showed a 5 minute walk to a wedding and other festivities at the Mill Mercantile and View on Old 98. Upon receiving the reservation details after booking, it was actually a 30 minute walk down a empty, unlit road. Unlike some of the closer properties we passed up, it didn’t come with a golf cart or bikes either. I wasn’t traveling for the beach, but it didn’t seem like there was easy access point for walking there either. Also, the 2nd half of the sea grove neighborhood was still under development. For the same cost or slightly more, I would just stay in the windmark development in the future.
