Hello, and thank you for the great review! I am so glad to hear you and yours enjoyed the home and the ease of location to enjoy all the beautiful Forgotten Coast has to offer. We hope you choose to come stay with us again!
Amazing! Will be back for sure. I’m someone that usually is ready to go home after a week away but this place feels so much like a home away from home you are not going to want to leave. They have everything and I do mean everything you need. So clean and so organized. Perfect for families. The host are so responsive and helpful. I can’t give this place enough stars :)
Wow! We booked over Thanksgiving and the house was perfect! Well equipped/stocked with everything you need. If you book this place, you can forget about packing anything for your stay as they have thought of it all!Well done Ami!

Thank you for the review! I’m so glad to hear you and yours had a great time and everyone was comfortable during your stay. You guys have been amazing and I really enjoyed being able to host your family. I hope you choose to stay with us again your next visit to Port St Joe!
This house is such a gem and the owners are wonderful. Communication was excellent. The house was a great size for four adults and three kids. The golf cart is a must! Riding it down old 98 to the different beach accesses and pools was one of the highlights of our stay. The house was clean and comfortable stocked with all the things one would need. I would highly recommend this property.

Hi Brittany! Thank you so much for the great review! We thoroughly enjoyed hosting you and yours, and want to let you know how much we appreciate all the care you showed our home. I hope you choose to stay with us again your next visit to Port St Joe!
This was our first family vacation to Port St Joe FL. Beautiful area and the beaches are lovely. Kids had a blast! Our rental was spacious, clean and so inviting. We really enjoyed our stay here. Our hosts were informative and friendly. We got lots of tips for places to eat, things to do, etc. They were always available right away with any questions we had. Thank you Amie for sharing your home with us!!

Thank you for the kind and thoughtful review! I am so happy to hear your family had a wonderful time. Thank you for all the communication and for the care you showed our home. We thoroughly enjoyed hosting you and yours during your stay and hope you consider staying with us again your next trip!
This property is outstanding. From the minute we booked Amie was wonderful to work with. The home is set in a very warm, friendly, beautiful community. The home is bigger and better than we expected. It was very clean, neat, yet warm and made you feel you were home. The kitchen was big and had seating for everyone. The bedrooms were comfortable and pristine. The bathrooms were very clean and tidy. The moment you opened the door you felt so relaxed and welcomed. Amie was a great person to work with. She was able to assist in my many questions but went over and above to make us feel welcome and at home. The pools are so nice and the beach close enough to walk, ride the bike or take a golf cart ride. Well dome Amie, Well done.

Hi Jackie! Thank you so much for all your kind words, they mean the world to me! I am so glad to hear your stay was amazing and am so happy you chose to stay with us while in PSJ. I thoroughly enjoyed communicating with you and am so appreciative of the care you and yours showed our home. We would be more than happy to host you and yours again!
We had six adults and two children (age 7) in our group and I can’t say enough positive things about it. The house is so spacious, meticulously clean and beautifully appointed. We ate in most nights and the kitchen has everything you would ever need. We are big coffee drinkers, so we really appreciated the Ninja coffee maker. The garage has everything a family would need for the beach, pools, or just hanging out. The house was stocked with lots of fun family games The golf cart was a blast and so convenient to navigate the area. The Windmark community is very dog friendly- they even have a dog park! Anytime we had a question, our host was super responsive which was wonderful. All the beds were so comfortable! Loved having Smart TV’s. The internet was blazing fast which was wonderful for the three people in our group that had to work a few hours a day during our stay. We would highly recommend the Baby Blue for a couple or a family.

About the host
Hosted by Matt and Amie Nelson
Hello! We are born and raised Nebraska Huskers with a love for visiting new places- especially those that are near the water or the mountains! Some of the things we enjoy most about hosting are meeting new people and the opportunities to provide welcoming and comfortable accommodations that contribute to an amazing stay while exploring and enjoying the area!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with WindMark Beach our first visit. Between the natural beach paths, stretches of white sand beach, numerous boardwalks, manicured trails for walking, biking, golf-carting, the shops and restaurants in the village center, the pools, and the close proximity to Mexico Beach, Downtown Port St Joe, Cape San Blas, and Apalachicola, we were swept off our feet with the Forgotten Coast. We love the pristine natural beauty of the beaches and the bay, the people, and the small town coastal feel. Top it off with a variety of top knotch local eateries, breweries, boutiques and shops- I just don’t know what else we could have asked for!
What makes this property unique
We strive to provide an amazing stay that provides all the feels in making memories on the Forgotten Coast. We want our guests to feel welcome and at home. We do this by working hard to provide a comfortable stay and all the amenities needed to make vacationing a little easier and a little more relaxing- because we know what it’s like! Beach towels, pool towels, beach toys, coolers, wagon, bikes, outdoor games, indoor games, pak n play, high chair, fully equipped kitchen, with starter packs for the keurig, dishwasher, washer, and dryer- we got you! Golf cart to toodle to the pools, boardwalks, beaches, village center, or to watch the sunset on the bay? Done. We want your stay to be the best!
