About The Owner

We built our dream home on the Gulf but twin baby boys came so had to move back to the Midwest. We love Windmark Beach and spent almost ten years down on the Gulf living in first Mexico Beach then at Windmark.

We wanted to make the home a truly special place and it is. Someday we hope to retire there. The views are simply amazing, unlike anywhere else we’ve been. The wildlife too and the water and the white sand...a very special place indeed.

The colors we chose for the home are fun and vibrant and the home just has a very special, warm, laid-back vibe that people love. It will relax and calm you when you walk through the door and water fountains located around the property both sooth and refresh.

The Owner purchased this house in 2006
Why The Owner chose Port St. Joe

We decided to build a one-of-a-kind beach home at Windmark because the Windmark Beach community is one of the most dramatic vacation destinations on the Gulf of Mexico.

The beaches in front of the home are almost private and feature this beautiful white sugar sand bordered by Southern pine trees and natural vegetation. You can really get away here.

The Village Center at Windmark Beach provides shopping, a restaurant, and a Fitness Center.

The home is located at the start of a 1.5 mile immaculately maintained running & biking path which leads to the Village Center.

The Gulf provides these amazing cooling breezes in the summer and helps moderate the temperature in the winter.

Wildlife is everywhere: Sea life, dolphin, hawks and bald eagles, deer, sea turtles and more.

The combination of white sand and tall pine trees has a very dramatic effect - it must be experienced to fully appreciate how beautiful and calming it is and you get this immediate feeling of being a hundred miles away from any civilization.

Traffic is very limited and you can walk everywhere at Windmark Beach.

Fishing is excellent most of the year and three separate piers are within easy walking distance from the house - one is only 100 yards from the end of our boardwalk.

Windmark Beach is sheltered by Cape San Blas forming St. Joseph Bay. The Cape helps protect the Bay from storms and high winds.

The town of Port St. Joe is only two miles away and features great restaurants, a full line grocery store, marina, dive shop, bait shops, Bluewater Outfitters, banks, shopping, a library, US Post Office, FedEx & UPS dropoff, antique stores, and churches of all denominations.

A Great Experience!!!

We loved our stay at Water's Edge! This was our first time visiting this area and we were very much impressed. The views from this home are spectacular and the comfort is far beyond your normal beach house. There is great fishing just steps away down the private boardwalk and if you don't want to fish you can watch from the balcony. The privacy and quiet surroundings were a real plus-a real getaway from reality. But when we wanted to eat out or go grocery shopping, we were only a few miles away. Our children loved the beaches, building sand castles, and looking for shells. Everyone was pleased with Water's Edge!! Bill and Dawn were amazing to work with and their taste in decor is superb. This is a great vacation for families with children or couples wanting a great getaway!!! Thanks Bill and Dawn for sharing your beautiful home with us!!!! We hope to be back soon.

The location of this rental far exceeds any expectation I could have had. The veiw is breathtaking and the home was more impressive in person then the photos give it credit. The owners of this rental made thier home feel like my own and because of this I continually choose to go there for my yearly vacations as opposed to anywhere else. I would highly recommend this vacation site to anyone who is looking for peace and quiet full of tranquillity. The beautiful beach is with in arms length where the immaculate white sand streches as far as the eye can see. If you are able to pull yourself away from beauty and comfort of thier home you can experience great shopping and dining a short bike ride away. My favorite restaurants, both with spectualr veiws are Go Fish and SunSets which are less then 5 minutes away. NIghtlife and dancing can also be found just down the road at Tucans. I look forward to our return on 2011.
