About this property

Absolutely everything you’d ever wish for in a beach getaway!

213 Sea Shack (Left hand side of duplex) is absolutely everything you'd ever wish for in a beach getaway. Located in St Joseph's Shores in the middle of Windmark Beach, you've got the best of it all. Luxury accommodations with only a few houses around located directly on the beach. Want to relax; come sit on the deck and enjoy beautiful sunsets while watching the dolphins play. Outside, you've not only got miles and miles of beach to walk or jog, there's also 5 miles of paved beach walk at your command. So bring your bikes and strollers and enjoy the gulf breeze and the sound of the waves as your thoughts float away. The down stairs features your living room, kitchen, bedroom with a queen bed, and bathroom. The upstairs features the master bedroom with kingsize bed, en-sweet bath and gulf view. The third bedroom is upstairs as well and hosts a queen bed and a twin trundle and a en-sweet bath. If you need more room for family and friends to get in on the fun we also manage 209 Sea Shack which is right next door. "Free Wi-Fi". Five minutes from local grocery stores and restaurants.

213 SeaShack is a non-smoking unit. All bookings are on a first come first serve basis.

St. Joe Beach and Beacon Hill offer miles of beautiful shoreline facing due west, providing spectacular sunsets and a silhouetted view of St. Joseph Peninsula. Nestled safely inside the Cape's protective barrier, the surf is low and gentle, a safe haven for swimmers of all ages. Public boardwalks and trails to the beach are peppered along the road. Veteran's Memorial Park in Beacon Hill offers plenty of safe parking and is known for its panoramic, elevated view overlooking the Gulf. Keep an eye on the clock because it changes suddenly without much fanfare. Beacon Hill borders Bay County where the local time zone switches to Central.

We loved everything, I will say the living room furniture could be updated but that is the only thing that could have been better. We hopefully will be back next year!!

Great stay!

This was the perfect place for my family and pet to stay!! It was a quiet beach and the waves were perfect for the kids to play in. The house was wonderful. It was spacious enough for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook.

Great house and location.

We really enjoyed the house. Great location on the St Joseph bay. The only negative is there are a lot of stairs since the house is elevated, but it wasn’t an issue for us. Thanks to the owners for making it available to others.

Great location and accommodations!

Thank you for the great weekend at the beach. After seeing all of the devastation that is still around, we had some concerns about the area. Sea Shack was fantastic and has been fully refurbished. We were able to find great local restaurants and spend time on a very serene beach. Thanks again for letting us stay! -Ted

Prime Location

This property is ocean front! You can see and hear the waves from the master bedroom. Only a 5 min bike ride or walk to nearby Windmark village with shops and dining. The beach was secluded with only a few other homes having access. Will definitely stay here again.

Family Vacation

This duplex was in a perfect location right on the beach. We did not hear the people in the unit next door, which I expected we would. The unit was beautifully decorated, clean, and cozy for our family.

Great place!

This was our second year to book this house. It is a duplex so neighbors could impact the quality of the stay but our friends booked the opposite side, so it was great for us. The beach in front is good. We anchored our boats right in front of the house. The walkway to the beach is non existent. Pieces of a walkway remain due to hurricane damage but the walk is not bad. Would be good for kids. There is little surf since you’re inside the protection of the bay.

what a letdown

Disappointed in the condition of the property. It needs some TLC in many areas. Most concerning, they need to repair the walkway to the beach, There are rusted screws sticking up in the posts from the old handrails. Broken blinds, lamps that don't work, door to deck from living room needs repair, windows are so dirty that you can barely see through them, pillows are old and flat.

Vacation with family and dog

Second time staying here. Loved the privacy and an almost empty beach! Great for my dog . Water was calm, so no fears of him playing in the water. Only complaint I would have was biting flies this year, but you can’t control nature , but you can come prepared! Great location close to down town Port St. Joe to get food !

Beach getaway

Overall it was very nice....if you are looking to get away from everything and don't want the tourist aspect of it then this is the perfect place. There are lots of stairs!! And the washer and dryer are downstairs in a separate room off of the house. Those would be my complaints. The only other complaint would be the check out process. I'm fine with loading the dishwasher and starting it but they expect you to wash, dry, and put away all dishes. And strip the bedsheets off all the beds. I don't personally feel like this should be my responsibility. I have paid a good chunk of money to stay there. Just my 2 cents....

Water of bay not clear

I loved the house, but I wish the water of the bay was clearer. I'm not sure if it was like that because of the storm. The house area is very private. Great if you want to spend a quiet vacation.

Wonderful

We thoroughly enjoyed this property. The area was less crowded than any beach we’ve been to—which was ideal this year! The house was nice and fit our family’s needs completely. We spent lots of time on balcony overlooking the beach.

Great getaway

We had a great time in this house! Loved being right on the beach. The house was cute, the decks were a perfect sitting spot, and the property manager was quick to solve any problems we had. The only real issues were the trundle had a lot of dog hair on it...so much that my son just slept with me instead of on it. And the boardwalk to the beach is not really there anymore, although it is in the pictures. I'm sure it is all a work in progress after the storm though. None of these were big issues for my crew, but may be for some people. If we decide to come back to the area, we would definitely rent here again.
