WindMark Beach, Community Pool, Playground, Short Walk to Beach ~ The Sandpiper

The Sandpiper is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath single family home located in the WindMark Beach Resort. This coastal residential community is located midway between Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe with very quiet, serene shorelines. Within the neighborhood you will find several amenities meant to enhance your vacation experience. There is a large community pool with a children’s playground located in the TownCentre, as well as a fire pit designed for a nice sized group. Walking paths extend the length of the entire community with several boardwalks leading to the beach. Most boardwalks have outdoor showers and water stations for quick clean up after playing in the sand and saltwater. WindMark Beach is an active community with a gym, Fit as a Fiddle, where you can purchase day, week or month passes. Dining is offered overlooking the water at the View on Old 98, and pick up your spirits and sundries at the Mill and Mercantile. Just bring yourself and your bathing suit, and everything else will be waiting for you!

The Sandpiper is a generous size home with plenty of space to enjoy your group. On the front of the house, you can enjoy sitting outside on the screened porch and there are two others on the back side. Situated on piers, there are only a couple of stairs leading into the first floor which houses the living area, kitchen and dining. On the second level, you have the three bedrooms and two full baths. If cooking is something you enjoy while on vacation, this is the right spot. With a gas, 5 burner stove, lots of counter and cabinet space and a roomy pantry, you may never have to go out for a meal. The garage area is now converted to a game room for extra fun, with a ping pong table and beach items.

Floor Plan: Ground level – screened front porch, kitchen, dining area, ½ bath and living room with TV and small deck on the back. 2nd level – laundry closet, Bedroom 1 – queen bed, Bedroom 2 – 2 twin beds, full bath with shower/tub combo; and Bedroom 3 – king bed, small TV, walk-in closet, screened deck and full bath with shower only and his/her sinks.

2nd Verse, Same as the First 😁

This was out 2nd stay at the Sandpiper, and we're already planning our 3rd for 2025. The property is perfect for a family or small group of adults! Just a short walk gets you to the beach, several restaurants, a general store for anything you may have left at home, and a heated pool 😍 What more do you need on a vacation??

Great rental

We loved this rental. The community is lovely. Boardwalks throughout to easily walk everywhere. Very comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen. Screened in porch was great. The only downside was the pool was closed for the week we were there, and we were not told that prior or ever told why it was closed.

Family Vacay

We loved the house. Great size for 6 people. Kitchen was well equipped and loved how open the downstairs is. Easy walk to beach and pool. The grounds were great for a morning walk or swim. We did not have internet access in the house, unless you were upstairs on the screened porch and it was not great. Did contact Pristine properties twice, they did reply saying would get back with us, but it was not resolved and we were not contacted again.

Perfect blend for a beach stay.

Enjoyed our stay. The boardwalk to the beach was right out our door. The village pizza place was an easy walk of 2 blocks for a fresh salad, pizza and wings. The ride into Port St Joe is all of 4-5 minutes. Area is rebounding well from last hurricane. Huge perk for this place is the parking and the kitchen has everything. Beds were comfy. Air conditioning kept us cool. We enjoyed the open porch and the large screened in porch. A few other reviewers commented on the music from the outdoor groups that played. We actually enjoyed it. Ended by10 but even if it didn’t I don’t think it would have disrupted sleep. They played just the Saturday night of our stay. My only hang up is the tv service. At home,I turn it on and it’s there. Most rentals, this one included, use a smart tv system. Roku. Just mentally prepare to adjust to that if that’s not your normal. I had my login for my home provider so I was able to access a few specific channels. This is not a knock on this rental or any other, it’s just a heads up to future renters. Would definitely rent here again!

Nice house in a pleasant community

The house is new and clean. It is part of the WindMark community, which features a small walkable area of shops and boardwalk access to the bay. It doesn't have a view, but the beach is 2 minutes away. There aren't many restaurants yet. The shop that rents paddle boards etc was very friendly. The only complaint about the property is that it is close to where the community holds live music events, which can be heard inside the house, though not overly distracting (events end at 10pm).

Cute place!

Close to the beach and community pool. Only downside was the place was not vacuumed when we first got there but everything else seemed clean and house has not insulation so you can hear everything inside and out.

A lovely and pleasant stay

Of the many beach houses that we’ve been fortunate to stay in, “The Sandpiper,” definitely tops our list. From the moment we walked in, the natural sunlight beamed right into the dining/living room, welcoming us in its warmth, while the illuminance steadily continued to cover the entire place. Our attention was immediately drawn to the beach themed art on the wall and modern/rustic decor, with an emphasis on one of my favorite colors or at least what I perceived it to be, turquoise. Everything was absolutely beautiful and we truly appreciated the simplistic but yet elegant arrangements. Everything we needed was here, especially in the kitchen, which was excellent because we enjoy cooking. Furthermore, this home is spacious, comforting and conveys a sense of peace. As for the community- absolutely loved it. The house is situated in very close proximity to the village center and the beach, both of which only took approximately 5 minutes to walk. Believe it or not, our vehicle never left the drive way for the duration of our stay. Also, the concept of interconnecting the homes in the vicinity, with boardwalks, adds a nice touch as well. Last but not least, my fiancé and I witnessed some of the most amazing sunsets at the beach. Thankfully, we captured those pleasant memories by taking many photos and videos. Although we can always view them to relive those experiences, we know that it’s always best to return and see them again in real life. That being said, we look forward to our return to, “The Sandpiper” soon!
