Relax in Style at your Private Pool & Hot Tub w the Beach, Food & Drinks Nearby

Welcome to VISTABLU Beach Cottage — your little escape to Florida’s Gulf Coast. This is the best location and amenities in Windmark Beach (walkable to the town center and beach with boardwalks, golf cart paths, walking trails everywhere, private pool & hot tub in the backyard)- it’s an invitation to enjoy the perfect beach vacation.
Located on approximately 2,020 acres of pristine coastal dune, wetlands and forested shoreline, WindMark Beach is designed for a relaxed, elevated lifestyle.
You’ll be walking or biking along shaded trail systems, boardwalks and a 3.5-mile BeachWalk that stretches beside the water- great for morning jogs, sunset strolls or simply inhaling deep gulf-air calm.
The Village Center offers casual dining, boutique shopping, fitness facilities and beach-gear rentals — everything you need right in the neighborhood.

From the magnificent sand and surf of the Gulf and bay to the quiet charm of Port St. Joe’s small-town hospitality and live-music scene, you’ll discover a world far removed from crowded resorts.
Your Stay at VISTABLU we’ve prepared everything so your group (up to 10 guests) can unwind, connect, celebrate—and repeat. Located in the heart of WindMark Beach, you’re within easy reach jn of the Village Center’s restaurants, ice cream, bike trails, the boardwalk and beach access — yet you have your own private sanctuary.
Private pool & hot tub. Imagine lazy mornings and evenings in warm water while the sun rises and sets over the bay.
Views of St. Joe Bay & the Gulf of Mexico: Sip your morning coffee on the bed swing and watch the water glisten.
Direct boardwalk access to the beach: Step out the back door and you have your own walk-way to the sand and surf.
Free beach gear: Small cooler-chairs, umbrella, wagon for hauling gear, and an ISLE inflatable paddleboard—so you’re equipped for fun from day one.
Three furnished screened porches: Choose your view—sunrise, sunset, lounge, or reading nook.
Fully stocked kitchen + premium amenities:
Three coffee makers (K-Cup, drip, Nespresso) + grinder
Two grills: Weber gas + Big Green Egg charcoal
Smart TVs in each room
High-speed WiFi
Washer & dryer
Board games, waffle iron, blender, full cookware and serveware
Comfort & ease: Fine linens, plush towels, blankets, extra hangers, outdoor shower, pack-n-play and booster seat (on request) — we’ve thought of everything.
Outdoor living: Paver walkways, fire pit for s’mores (check local burn-bans), breakfast on the front porch swings, sunset swing on the rear porch.
Great location for food & fun: Within walking distance you’ll find ice cream & candy shop, Bruno’s Pizza, coffee shop, and more. A few-minute drive or leisurely bike ride takes you to dining options like The Mill, Sunrise Cafe, Uptown Raw Bar, Shipwrecked, White Marlin and more.
Activities & adventure at your fingertips
Miles of unspoiled beaches: Whether you stroll early morning or lounge midday, you’re immersed in one of Florida’s lesser-known gems.
Fishing & boating: With access to St. Joe Bay and the Gulf, this area is a haven for inshore and offshore anglers.
Nature & wildlife encounters: Keep an eye out for dolphins, manatees, bald eagles, rays, herons, sandpipers—and the possibility of spotting bobcats or black bears in the surrounding wild spaces.
Community events & live music: Enjoy gatherings like the WindMark Beach Music Festival—a family-friendly concert right in the Village Center.
Bike and walking trails: Whether you’re on the BeachWalk, exploring BayWalk or the Port City Trail, you’ll find walking, jogging or biking opportunities with scenic views and fresh air.
Golf nearby: The St. Joe Bay Golf Club is about a 10-minute drive away—perfect for a relaxed round in serene surroundings.
Ease of convenience: Grocery store, mini-mart, coffee shop, and casual cafes are all within a short drive or ride.
Why this home is right for your stay
We’ve designed VISTABLU to feel like your “home away from home” and your “wow” vacation experience. Whether you’re gathering large families, friends, multi-generational groups or celebrating something special, every detail supports both rest and adventure.
We’ll send a welcome email before your stay with tailored recommendations—whether you’d rather go fishing, paddle-boarding in the bay, take a sunset cruise or simply unwind poolside with no agenda. Let me know any special requests ahead of time and i’ll aim to make your stay enjoyable.
Thank you for staying at VISTABLU!

Just returned from a stay at Vista Blu and it was fantastic all around. The home is well decorated in a great walkable community and close to the beach! We enjoyed both the walkable restaurants as well as the very close Port Saint Joe area. The WindMark community is such a beautiful community and we really enjoyed biking and walking through the development. The home has everything on your checklist to relax and feel at home. The pool and spa were definitely our favorites as well as both the front and back porch. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay so much! My mother-in-law, father-in-law, husband, 4 children (20, 12, 7, and 1), and myself all enjoyed our trip. The ease of access to the beach straight off the board walk, private pool, cute neighborhood, & nearby pizza and ice cream helped us make a memorable vacation. Joey was quick to respond when needed, and helpful. The house was clean and we had access to everything we needed. We feel in love with Port Saint Joe, and the relaxing atmosphere.

The perfect family vacation!

If you are looking for a spacious house that has easy access to the beach and is in a beautiful community, this is it! Took my family "3 adults and 3 kids" to this area of florida for the first time. It was absolutely perfect! House is 100% as advertised was very clean upon arrival. My kids loved the pool and playing at the beach which was never packed like Panama city and other popular beach spots near here. We would absolutely stay here again!

Family getaway

Our family decided on Port St. Joe for spring break with a surprise visit from our oldest who is in the Air Force. We have stayed in the area before, but never here. The house had everything we needed! It is in a great location to the beach (which we were at most of the time) and the pool was an added bonus, which the kids spent most of the afternoons in. It was clean, spacious, and beautiful place to have fun but also relax.Joey was a great host and ensured we had everything we needed, and even provided a detailed email upon our arrival. He included several restaurant ideas, shops, and rental ideas. We thoroughly enjoyed Shoobie’s ice cream shop and renting bikes. We had a ton of laughs when playing the games that he provided in the house.We will definitely be back!

Christmas Getaway

We had a wonderful time staying here! The weather was in the 60’s and the heated pool was perfect. It was a little cooler than expected one morning, and I contacted the host and he graciously made a change and it was perfect the rest of the time. I mentioned the water was a little cloudy and the pool guy was there that day to treat it. Everything was great! Easy walk to a non crowded beautiful beach.

Beautiful and relaxing...

The home is beautiful and comfortable and clean. The village in the community is fun, friendly and easily accessible by walking or golf-cart. Having a private pool is perfect for night time dips and the neighborhood pool is large and fun with a bar and food available..the kids loved this. The back porch bed swing was a favorite place to read and enjoy morning coffee and the sandy backyard saw a 3 generations or "boys" practicing baseball together. The beach is an easy picturesque walk from the house and its not crowded, Occasional marine (manatees, crabs, dolphins and jumping fish can be seen.) It is a more natural sea shore, beach has some sea weed and water not crystal clear but the water is calm and you can walk at or float far out and only get up to your chest or waist. Sunsets are beautiful......... If you enjoy walking, the trails, streets and beach are perfect and not crowded and the neighborhood is wonderfully friendly. The town of St Joe's has wonderful restaurants and shopping and is very quaint. The owner is promptly responsive when questions arose... We enjoyed our time there very much....:) Thank you for a memorable family vacation. The Deans

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.

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!!
