We had a wonderful stay at this beach house in Windmark Beach. The home itself was beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax from the moment we arrived. One of the best parts was how close it was to the beach—just a short walk away, which made beach trips effortless. The kids especially had an amazing time, both at the house and down by the water. Overall, it was a fantastic place for a family getaway, and we would absolutely stay here again.

received several messages on how to check in and they conflated so it was a bit confusing. Also had no hot water for the first day of out stay, and then had an electrical issue the last day and half that we were there were several lights and outlets didn't work, and the stove didn't work so we couldn't cook dinner and breakfast during that time.

Sweet sunshine and peace

Wabi Sabi comfortably housed our party of 11 for one week in June 2025. Port St. Joe was exactly what my family and I needed. The house was a little quirky (which we didn’t mind) and the multiple sitting areas (inside and out) offered the various age groups places to hang. The kitchen was well stocked with all “tools” needed. The set of bunk beds are not queen as listed: they are full size. To make a few suggestions: a) throw blankets in the common area b) clean up the 2 minute walkway to the beach and c) spare sheets/blankets. If you are looking for a quiet space with beautiful sunsets, Wabi Sabi is it!

Family Spring break getaway

We’ve visited Port St. Joe multiple times but this was our first time at Wabi Sabi house. It was a great space for our family of 4 adults and 5 teenagers. The checkin info was a little spotty. All gate and house code info that was emailed and texted prior to arrival was incorrect so we had to get ahold of management. Unfortunately the dishwasher broke the first day we were there so we spent a lot of time handwashing dishes that week (fixed by Thursday) It was good to see the Windmark area built up with shops and eateries. The community pool was nice and of course the beach so close is always a plus.

16yo Birthday fishing trip

My son just turned 16 and wanted to bring a few buddies down to the beach to fish. Wabi Sabi was the perfect house to host this group given the large living space, bunk room, great outdoor space and proximity to the beach. Access to the amenities at Windmark and downtown PSJ were great too. The adults really enjoyed watching sunsets from the porch and snapped several postcard-like photos. The kitchen was interesting to navigate but we had no problem in making breakfast, dinner and lots of delicious snacks for this big group of hungry boys! We would absolutely stay at this property again and recommend it to friends. We really enjoyed the Wabi Sabi way of life!

Not what we were expecting

Our family stayed at Wabi Sabi last week and we were a bit disappointed with the accommodations. The house layout is a bit challenging. The owners suite is in the loft, which overlooks the main floor foosball table. None of the bedrooms have closets to hang clothes. Each bathroom only provided 2 bath towels, which caused us to use our beach towels as bath towels. The kitchen is not well equipped. No large pots or pans. The only skillet was bent and would not sit on the stove. Definitely not an open layout. They do have a grill outside, but it doesn’t have a starter and would not work. However the house was clean.

Nice, clean house, great location and amenties, very strange layout.

The house was very nice, well-appointed and clean—plenty of room with nice outside areas and a firepit. I knew going into this rental that some said the layout was a bit "chopped". They were right. The upstairs is a loft-style arrangement with a very nice bathroom and bedroom. However, the loft is open to downstairs. There is no audio privacy whatsoever. In addition, the HVAC unit that controls upstairs is downstairs. So what this means is that during the winter, all the heat rises to that loft and will run you out of it. Windows had to be left open. This temperature imbalance needs to be addressed. Close the upstairs in and add a mini-split unit. The downstairs bedrooms do not have closets and are very small. All bathrooms downstairs are located across the house from their respective bedrooms. This requires walking across the living room to the bedrooms. The main bathroom downstairs has privacy glass on one of the doors, but you can still see through it! Although the home was in excellent shape, the host was great, and the location was superb, the layout of this house was less than ideal. Some basic thought and construction would make this perfect. The house, from what I understand was an old office building. It should have been gutted and the interior reframed.

Relax in PSJ

Our stay in port St Joe FL was wonderful! The property was a perfect location. It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Having the bikes was a nice feature to ride around near by. We didn’t have a pass to get in to the pool areas but there were other guest in the neighborhood that were very kind to let us in. I would recommend bringing beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap and full size linens for the pullout sofa if you need to use it. Other than that you’ll have all you need to have an enjoyable stay!
