This was our first time at Windmark Beach and it did not disappoint. It felt like we stumbled upon an undiscovered beach community. We had the beach to ourselves everyday - I kept checking to make sure we weren't on a private area of the beach because it was so empty! The community is quiet but we enjoyed the tranquility and change of pace. Since the beach is somewhat in the bay, it seemed like the currents and waves were tame which was great with kids (not sure if this is accurate, just my observation). When I originally booked this house I had a hard time understanding how close the beach was. It's a very short walk (3-4 minutes) and no crossing of roads which makes it even better. I could easily run up to the house for snacks or to grab any left behind items.
The house is perfect. The kitchen was extremely well stocked for those that enjoy cooking and most of the dinner/glasswear was high quality melamine which I appreciate since we have two younger kids. The decor is also tasteful and not over cluttered. The beds and pillows are incredibly comfortable, something I highly value and can easily ruin a trip if they aren't good quality. The home was also spotless and smelled brand new. The only slightly negative item is that the kids bikes are understandably very well worn. We realized after the fact that it would have been better to bring our own since it's not always easy for kids to adjust to new bikes (this isn't a knock on what the owner provides, just a tip for anyone else that bikes a lot. It's nice to have the option for those that are unable to bring bikes). We're already talking about returning next year and hope this community keeps it's small town feel.
Great place!! We had a wonderful Father’s Day vacation.
This was such a nice location! Convenient walkways to the beach (including sand chairs that carry everything you want to take to the beach) and a short car ride to grocery and small town boutiques and amazing eating establishments. Our teens even enjoyed taking a break from their busy schedules to unwind in this quiet and quaint community!

The owner was always available for any questions and concerns from beginning until the end. I recommend his house.
