"The Heron Beach House" in Windmark Beach, 2 Community Pools & Walk to the Beach
"The Heron Beach House" is located at 312 Sea Grove Way, Port Saint Joe, FL 32456. Windmark has 2 very large community pools with the brand new Windmark North pool being a 3 minute walk. Walk to the white sand beach in 5 minutes or you can drive to the beach parking and walk to the beach. If you drive, the beach access with free parking is just down the street or use the new community beach boardwalk just steps from the beach house!
The floor plan is a 4 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage plan with over 1,700 square feet of living space located in Windmark Beach North Community. It sleeps 9 comfortable. Windmark Beach offers residents numerous luxury amenities and features including 2 community pools, easy access to the beach, and a versatile community center. Standard features of this home include stainless appliances such as a stove, microwave and dishwasher. Not to mention, EVP flooring throughout the common areas, recessed lighting, ceiling fans in living area and bedroom 1, trey ceilings and brushed nickel hardware on the interior doors. Bedroom 1 is situated off the living area and has a private bath with a shower, full soaker tub, and a walk-in closet. A standard Smart Home package is included with Kwikset Keyless Entry, an Echo Dot device, Qolsys IQ touch panel and Skybell doorbell.
Enjoy the outdoor shower perfect for washing the sand off the kids or pets after a long day at the beach. Walk steps to one of the world's most incredible, pet friendly, white sand beaches. Fish from the beach, the public pier, or bring / rent a boat. A new boat ramp is right up the road. Enjoy shopping in quaint shops for unique gifts and local art. Eat the most delicious seafood found anywhere. Go scalloping, crabbing, snorkeling, or just sit on our quiet beach and read a good book! Panama City is 24 miles to the West, Mexico Beach is 3 miles to the West, Port St. Joe is 6 miles to the East, and Apalachicola is 28 miles to the East. Sorry, the community does not allow street parking or boat parking in Windmark community. There is boat parking available outside the community though.

Nice Clean, Comfortable Stay
We enjoyed our time in Port St Joe and appreciated this nice home. It was roomy and comfortable. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. Such a great place to just chill and relax!! This owner and community are very dog friendly, too.
I gave the location and neighborhood 4 stars b/c the Windmark beaches were full of biting flies and 2 of us slipped and fell getting in the pool. However, Mexico and San Blas Beaches are very close and were great!
Highly recommend! Thank you!

Great, Clean, New Home in Cute Neighborhood
We had a great stay at Windmark. Loved taking the golf cart up to the community area to grab breakfast and coffee. Windmark beach is a quick golf cart ride away. House was clean and new. Kevin was very responsive to any questions we had. No complaints!

Beautiful beach house in a fantastic beach community!
The Heron House was PERFECT for our family's 4th of July vacation. The beach community the house is in is gorgeous and has ALL of the amenities we loved...fabulous restaurants, great shopping, a big zero-entry pool, and, of course, it's a quick walk to the gorgeous Forgotten Coast! The host was super responsive and happy to provide any information we asked for. The house is new and in pristine condition, and it was equipped with just what we needed for the beach: a rolling cart, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. The back porch of the house was set up so well, with a comfy seating area for guests to lounge around while the others are grilling. The back porch was a perfect place for us to watch the 4th of July fireworks! We will definitely be staying at The Heron House again!

Great House!
Perfect house just a short walk to the beach, or you can drive if you need to take heavy stuff and you can park right at the entry path. The house is super clean, has everything you need in the spacious kitchen, a large screened wrap around porch, and fenced back yard. The beds were very comfortable. Washer/dryer made for lighter packing. The immediate area is residential and quiet. The beach wasn't crowded at all and we were there during peak season, we brought a dog so that was a plus. If you are looking for a laid back vacation to recharge this is the perfect quiet, tranquil place. If you want a little shopping, restaurants or bars, Port St. Joe is about a 10 minute drive. The house is locked by key code so you never have to worry about keys - super convenient. We only needed to contact Kevin one time and he responded immediately.
The pace of the whole vacation let us slow way down and rest - came back refreshed instead of needing to recover from our vacation - and we drove from Ohio.

The house was very clean and comfortable. Great layout.
The house is actually nicer than the pictures show. Nicely decorated. Easy walk to the beach. Screen porch and available water hoses were great. We really like the outdoor shower. Close to two great restaurants. Paradise grill and shipwreck raw bar. We are already planning on next years trip. It was our first stay in St. Joe and we loved it.
