About the host
Hosted by Julie Hall
Julie Hall was searching for a coastal place near the water. She came across a house and discovered the previous owner was Mark Inabnit who was known for his publications, one well known today as Houston Home and Gardens.
He passed away in 1997, never able to complete his project with the house.
Julie's background in interior design was up for the challenge to convert the concrete block house into her dream home and that is exactly what she did!
Windmill Gardens Inn today is well known as a landmark with a Windmill perched upon the roof that provides a unique style of its own. Each of the units are designed differently with a name setting apart the artistic flare to make anyone feel right at home.

Why they chose this property

You will feel as though you have entered into a little bit of Eden, as the tensions of a busy world seem to melt away...
....the very moment you arrive.
