Listing needs updating, new retaining wall added to beach in front of house.
I waited to post this review in the hopes that the listing would be updated as to no longer have any misleading pictures. However, I do not wish for another family to be disappointed as we were when we arrived at our rental. I will start with the positives…. The rental is beautiful and updated. The appliances are in great shape and the kitchen has all you may need for your stay. The pool is a short distance away and was great. Windmark is a beautiful area. The negatives…. I specifically chose this rental for the beach/water access that is shown in the pictures. We have two small children with lots of beach equipment and diaper changes to think about as well. We stay in places with direct beach access for this reason, quick run to the room for diaper changes/lunch/naps etc. Upon our arrival we discovered that a retaining wall consisting of large rocks/boulders has been added to the beach. There is sand access directly in front of the house but in order to get to the water, you must walk 200 yards where the wall ends. It was an extreme disappointment for us as it was the selling point of us booking. While this is no fault of the homeowner/lister, I asked that the listing be updated to reflect this. As of today the pictures still show an open beach/water in front of the home. Just beware when booking that this is not the case. The area is great with restaurants, a close downtown area, and the home is beautiful. If direct beach access is a must, it’s best to look elsewhere.

Quiet & relaxing beach destination
Peaceful beach setting. Small town feel. If you want to go to the beach to relax and perhaps fish, this is the area. Not a party beach. We were there in early May. Older crowd. Actually, no crowds. Very quiet. Private beach. Lovely.

Beautiful location and property!
My 10-yr-old son and I spent 6 nights here over his spring break. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us. The property is spotless, and we loved utilizing the well-stocked kitchen. The beach is literally in the backyard, and we spent hours walking the shore, finding treasures, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. It’s a very quiet and safe neighborhood, which made it incredibly relaxing. Port St Joe is a 5-minute drive, and we loved exploring the shops and restaurants of Reid Avenue. It was such a pleasant surprise that every single person we encountered during our stay was SO kind, helpful, and sweet. Make sure you check out the lighthouse, Forgotten Coast Sea Turtle Center, and save an evening for a special dinner at the White Marlin. Cape San Blas is an easy drive from WindMark, and we enjoyed a day at the gulf-side beaches of T.H. Stone Memorial State Park. LongBill’s is a fun spot for lunch or dinner. We also did a snorkel adventure through AquaBear Adventures. Such a fun way to get out on the water, and we had so many dolphins swimming alongside the boat! We can’t wait to come back - thank you Sheila and Cliff for sharing your amazing space with us!

Parent Getaway
We had a great weekend stay at the carriage house. The accommodations were fantastic. Loved the upscale amenities of the space, it was perfect for the two of us. The only drawback was that the bed creaked with every turn, otherwise it was a dream stay. The short walk to the beach was so convenient. Windmark Beach is a wonderful, quiet community. We strolled along the boardwalk and enjoyed the shops. Would definitely recommend for a quiet getaway.

Much needed weekend get away
I can’t say enough great things about the carriage house! It was the absolute perfect get away for my husband and I. Cliff and Sheila are amazing hosts. They are available for anything you may need/questions you have. Although their main residence is steps away you’d never know it. They built the carriage house as if they were living there themselves. The amenities are top notch! I was so impressed by the comfortable bed and couch, the large smart TVs (all aps ready for use), the Viking appliances, the pristine shower and the comfortable patio furniture. The house is so nice you’ll feel bad for tracking sand in! The beach is perfect. My husband and I enjoyed looking for seashells! We found it refreshing to visit a natural beach! As far as your walk to the beach, I would hardly call it a “walk.” If the house were any closer it would sit in the water! The beautiful community is gated and safety never felt like an issue. It was quiet and perfect for relaxing. Don’t think twice about booking the carriage house! By far one of our most favorite vacations and we can’t wait to return. Thank you again Cliff and Sheila for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Celebrating our 25th Wedding anniversary, looking for quiet privacy
The entire subdivision is under full blown building construction,, the owners are 5' away from the front door, stating that they were "in for the weekend" ( they live here) . although a nice new place,, there was no PRIVACY, NOT QUIET... And further more we were so disappointed that we opted to leave respecfully, and now we fight for our $ back.. we started with VRBO, threw over to Evolve??? they have followed up,, but this is 3 weeks now still no resolution on refund. We acted in good faith to leave all , not to even sit on the couch in our whole 15 minutes,, sadly no honestly on behlaf of this owner. Will never again us VRBO,,
