We had a wonderful stay at this beach house in Windmark Beach. The home itself was beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax from the moment we arrived. One of the best parts was how close it was to the beach—just a short walk away, which made beach trips effortless. The kids especially had an amazing time, both at the house and down by the water. Overall, it was a fantastic place for a family getaway, and we would absolutely stay here again.

My family had an amazing time at this home in Port St. Joe. The house was beautifully decorated but still cozy and livable and the location was fantastic! We didn't realize that the beach directly across the street from the property is not your typical beach - it has a rock wall blocking the ocean from the beach and the listing doesn't show the new homes that are there on the beach either, but we just loaded our gear in to the truck and drove the 15 seconds to park at the beach entrance and it was perfect! Once we figured it out we were all set! I would definitely recommend this home to families - the neighborhood is quiet and feels safe. I did wish that we could have used the pool in the neighborhood instead of having to drive down the street to the pool in the wind mark "downtown" area. But again, that didn't dampen the vibe and it was fine. No closets in any of the bedrooms made for a tight squeeze with the luggage - not a complaint for us just something to keep in mind! Overall - I would stay here again! Such a sweet home and neighborhood and the host was amazing to work with as well! Highly recommend!!

The location was even better than expected and the surrounding area did not disappoint. Having access to bikes provided by the rental company was a huge plus and allowed us to have morning bike rides to get coffee. We would definitely come stay here again!

Family Spring break getaway

We’ve visited Port St. Joe multiple times but this was our first time at Wabi Sabi house. It was a great space for our family of 4 adults and 5 teenagers. The checkin info was a little spotty. All gate and house code info that was emailed and texted prior to arrival was incorrect so we had to get ahold of management. Unfortunately the dishwasher broke the first day we were there so we spent a lot of time handwashing dishes that week (fixed by Thursday) It was good to see the Windmark area built up with shops and eateries. The community pool was nice and of course the beach so close is always a plus.

16yo Birthday fishing trip

My son just turned 16 and wanted to bring a few buddies down to the beach to fish. Wabi Sabi was the perfect house to host this group given the large living space, bunk room, great outdoor space and proximity to the beach. Access to the amenities at Windmark and downtown PSJ were great too. The adults really enjoyed watching sunsets from the porch and snapped several postcard-like photos. The kitchen was interesting to navigate but we had no problem in making breakfast, dinner and lots of delicious snacks for this big group of hungry boys! We would absolutely stay at this property again and recommend it to friends. We really enjoyed the Wabi Sabi way of life!

Not what we were expecting

Our family stayed at Wabi Sabi last week and we were a bit disappointed with the accommodations. The house layout is a bit challenging. The owners suite is in the loft, which overlooks the main floor foosball table. None of the bedrooms have closets to hang clothes. Each bathroom only provided 2 bath towels, which caused us to use our beach towels as bath towels. The kitchen is not well equipped. No large pots or pans. The only skillet was bent and would not sit on the stove. Definitely not an open layout. They do have a grill outside, but it doesn’t have a starter and would not work. However the house was clean.

Nice, clean house, great location and amenties, very strange layout.

The house was very nice, well-appointed and clean—plenty of room with nice outside areas and a firepit. I knew going into this rental that some said the layout was a bit "chopped". They were right. The upstairs is a loft-style arrangement with a very nice bathroom and bedroom. However, the loft is open to downstairs. There is no audio privacy whatsoever. In addition, the HVAC unit that controls upstairs is downstairs. So what this means is that during the winter, all the heat rises to that loft and will run you out of it. Windows had to be left open. This temperature imbalance needs to be addressed. Close the upstairs in and add a mini-split unit. The downstairs bedrooms do not have closets and are very small. All bathrooms downstairs are located across the house from their respective bedrooms. This requires walking across the living room to the bedrooms. The main bathroom downstairs has privacy glass on one of the doors, but you can still see through it! Although the home was in excellent shape, the host was great, and the location was superb, the layout of this house was less than ideal. Some basic thought and construction would make this perfect. The house, from what I understand was an old office building. It should have been gutted and the interior reframed.

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house! The location was excellent—close to everything we needed and just a short walk to the beach. The layout was perfect for multiple families, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out while still enjoying time together. The house was comfortable, well-equipped, and made for a relaxing vacation. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for families.

The house is decorated with such thought and detail, and is absolutely stunning. It was equipped with everything we needed and we were provided with a list of suggested items to bring so that we had no surprises upon arrival. We rented gear through the property management company which was very simple and smooth. We had excellent communication throughout the entire process. The grounds of the house, the convenience of the beach and Windmark village, the short drive to town - it was all absolutely perfect and gorgeous. The house is very peaceful and everyone slept so comfortably and well. We had such an enjoyable vacation and will be back.

Everything was amazing. One of the most well provisioned VRBO rentals we’ve stayed in. What a great place. Only constructive criticism is that there was only about half a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, only one roll of paper towels in the kitchen, and zero trash-can liners. May also be beneficial to tell guests about there being two thermostats. It’s also notable that in this location, cell phones may randomly switch between EST cell towers and CST towers. Likely a good idea to default one’s phone to one time zone or another then do the math lest wind up rather confused as to why you are an hour late or an hour early.
