The fitness facility at Windmark Beach has regular classes and offers daily & weekly guest passes. R&R Outfitters has all your beach and bike rental needs covered. The sweet shop is a kid favorite- they have ice cream, candy, cold drinks and basic supplies ranging from baking supplies to bait and tackle.

This home was built in 2020. Your stay includes free WiFi, (4) smart TVs- in the living room and in all bedrooms, (4) light & comfy Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs with attached coolers, Tommy Bahama umbrella with anchor, red rider wagon (one person can easily transport everything to the beach), ISLE inflatable paddle board, fine linens & luxurious towels are supplied with your stay, home is fully furnished with glassware, plates utensils and cookware.

Lots of good food options nearby. Whether you want fine dining, seafood, pizza or a grocery store to cook your own meal- Windmark Beach & Port St Joe has it covered. The Mill, The View & Bruno’s Pizza are all walkable distance (less than five minutes). Uptown Raw Bar, Shipwrecked, Sparky’s, White Marlin, Dagwoods, Joe Moma’s Pizza & Cat 5 are all close by quality restaurants. The local Piggly Wiggly is an easy 5min drive, there is also a Dollar General Marketplace that’s like a mini Walmart nearby.

Great fishing right from the beach. Also there are plenty of nearby marinas and boat ramps to access St. Joe Bay, the Gulf of Mexico and the Inter coastal waterway. St. Joe Peninsula is a hot spot for fishing along with several reefs close by and the inshore fishing is great too! Check out the brand new Point South Marina for boat rentals, fishing excursions, sunset cruises, dining and more.

Nature all around- on your stay you might see dolphin, bald eagle, rays, pelicans, herons, sand pipers, lots of shells, the occasional bobcat & black bear, awesome sunrises & sunsets & maybe a deer or two. Go searching or hiking around St. Joe Bay and the Cape and you might spot an alligator or manatee too!

St Joe Bay Golf Club is open to the public and a short 10min drive from the house on the East side of Port St Joe- this is a fun little course for everyone to enjoy. They have a pool, on-site restaurant, putting green, driving range and 18 hole golf course. Gulf county bought the golf course after Hurricane Michael and consistent improvements are being made. Dagwoods (a local favorite restaurant downtown) runs the kitchen here so the food is way above average for a local muni. The course layout is simple but challenging with water on 14 of the 18 holes.

We want your vacation to be a positive and memorable experience. Before your stay we will send a welcome email with more local information and contact info for everything from food and drinks to fishing guides and surfing lessons. Please let us know prior to arrival if you have any special requests- we would love to help and host your next vacation!

Thank you for checking out VistaBlu, book your vacation today!

Not Long Enough...
We enjoyed a wonderful spring getaway at VistaBlu and it did not disappoint. The location is absolutely perfect in Windmark with easy access to the city center as well as the beach. The property was beyond clean when we arrived, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Having a pool with a hot tub makes VistaBlu stand out amongst the rest. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We look forward to returning to this property!

Perfect Family location
This property was more than a vacation rental. It felt like a home. Very nice place and kid friendly. They thought of everything we could've ever needed! The child proof gates to the pool provided peace of mind. Friendly neighborhood with short walk to the beach. Special thanks to the host for being helpful and responsive.

Nice property!
Overall, this is a great place for relaxing family vacation. Owner is very responsive. Only trade-off was having a nice walkable neighborhood and a private swimming pool, with a less than desirable beach.

Five Stars for VistaBlu!
VistaBlu was perfect vacation home for our family. Loved having the pool to cool off in with 18 mo old! Beach walk was convenient & loved the beach wagon, chairs & paddle board for our use. Great to walk for pizza at Bruno's & ice cream. We rented bikes from R&R Outfitters & rode in the neighborhood for miles! The house has porches, swings & places for everyone to curl up with a book. Beach was easy walk on boardwalk & not subject to riptides like other beaches Owner provided great info on the area & was available for any questions. We loved VistaBlu & will definitely be back!!
