"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.

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!

Perfect location!
Beautiful home with lots of room! It has a great location, close to the path to the beach & steps from the pool. Be sure to purchase the golf cart if available, it came in handy on the trips to the main part of Windmark for dinner each night!

Absolutely loved our stay!
The house was wonderful! It was beautifully decorated and spacious and clean. It was stocked for cooking and had everything we could have possibly needed. The host was very responsive to all my questions prior to the trip and even took care of our golf cart rental, which was a must! I would recommend the Heron House to anyone, and we hope to return next year!

Great house for a vacay
We love staying at Windmark beach and have been coming here for years. This was our first stay at Heron House. Plenty of space with a nice yard for the dogs. Equipped with beach chairs so we didn’t have to bring anything along. Both pools are open with views of the beach. Lovely neighborhood for walking. We really enjoyed our stay and will recommend.

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!

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.

Wonderful stay at The Sand Bar
Enjoyed our time at The Sand Bar. The house was very nice with a pet-friendly yard that was fenced. A short walk to a beautiful beach. The screened porch was great to enjoy coffee in the morning. Can't wait to book another stay.

Great house for a family
My husband, our two girls and my MIL stayed at the Sand bar for a week with our two dogs. We had the best time. The girls enjoyed their bunk bed room and my MIL loved the bathroom! The screened porch was nice as well as the beach cart! Will definitely stay again if we come back to MB!

quiet vacation spot
We had a nice quiet vacation at the Sand Bar Beach house. Everything you need to have a comfortable stay close to the beach. Beautiful sunsets and a beach mostly all to yourself! A visit to the Shipwreck about 2 blocks away for a bite to eat and drinks, perfect! Thanks for having us, including the dogs! Woof!
