Welcome to VISTABLU Beach Cottage — your little escape to Florida’s Gulf Coast. This is the best location and amenities in Windmark Beach (walkable to the town center and beach with boardwalks, golf cart paths, walking trails everywhere, private pool & hot tub in the backyard)- it’s an invitation to enjoy the perfect beach vacation.
Located on approximately 2,020 acres of pristine coastal dune, wetlands and forested shoreline, WindMark Beach is designed for a relaxed, elevated lifestyle.
You’ll be walking or biking along shaded trail systems, boardwalks and a 3.5-mile BeachWalk that stretches beside the water- great for morning jogs, sunset strolls or simply inhaling deep gulf-air calm.
The Village Center offers casual dining, boutique shopping, fitness facilities and beach-gear rentals — everything you need right in the neighborhood.

From the magnificent sand and surf of the Gulf and bay to the quiet charm of Port St. Joe’s small-town hospitality and live-music scene, you’ll discover a world far removed from crowded resorts.
Your Stay at VISTABLU we’ve prepared everything so your group (up to 10 guests) can unwind, connect, celebrate—and repeat.
