Anchored Inn | Visit Florida Beaches Dev (Shared Code)

Description

If you’re not as familiar with St. Joe Beach as you are with some of the other North Florida Beaches, then now is the time to get acquainted. St. Joe Beach is a laid back strip of beach less than 5 miles, tucked between Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe. The quiet shoreline of white sandy beaches is protected by Cape San Blas peninsula making it ideal for vacationing families. What also makes St. Joe Beach special is that it is a pet friendly beach. While dogs aren’t allowed on Mexico Beach, you can stay minutes down the road and let your four-legged companion join in on the fun.

Anchored Inn is located just a short walk from the beach and has great views of the water from the large deck. If you do decide to bring your dog, or children lol, the owners have taken the worry out for you with a retractable gate on the top floor deck. This is where you will find a bistro table for your morning coffee, and the large picnic table for evening meals. Also outside, there is a great outdoor shower tucked away under the exterior stairs, a ground floor patio, a single car garage and a fire pit in the fenced in backyard.

Anchored Inn has a unique layout as it has separate, full accommodations on the ground floor as well as upstairs. So, if you are looking for some privacy during your stay but have to bring the rest of your family along too there’s a distinct separation between the two floors. Both levels have their own kitchen, dining and living areas with one bedroom on the ground floor and the remaining three upstairs.

This home is conveniently located to the beach, has a unique layout making vacation comfortable for everyone and a very stylish décor making it a top pick for anyone searching for their next vacation home.

Floor Plan: Ground level – single car garage, outdoor shower, patio, eat-in kitchen, living room with TV, 2 twins bunked and a sleeper sofa; and Bedroom 1 – ground floor master bedroom with king bed, TV and full bath with a shower only. 1st floor – large gulf view deck with picnic and bistro table, living room with TV, kitchen, dining area, full bath with shower/tub combo; Bedroom 2 – double bed and TV, Bedroom 3 – queen bed and TV; and Bedroom 4 – master bedroom with king bed, gulf view deck access, TV and master bath with double vanities, shower only and walk-in closet.

We absolutely loved our stay! This home is gorgeous and such a short walk away from the beach. HIGHLY recommend!

A very nice property and the reservation process, including gear rental, was very easy. A few minor adjustments and this could be a 5-star review.

This is a refreshing well furnished cozy family home! Would highly recommend it for those with children as the house and the development it is located in are ideal for families. From the well maintained boardwalks that lead you quickly to the beaches where the sand is lovely, clean and full of shells, to the gently lapping waves (Cape San Blas acts as a buffer). There was enough variety of weather that some days the waves were medium enough to be fun for young children to "battle" and other days when it was like a gently lapping lake. The beaches are wide enough and good quality sand and LOTS of shells (more than Cape San Blas). The water in front of the WindMark development is clean and not full of seaweed or obstructions. It is a little murkier since it's on the bay and the waves are rarely enough to please older kids (tween/teen) but a day trip to Cape San Blas for some wave/swimming action is easy and convenient. All ages will appreciate the many long well paved trails for riding/skating (any kinda wheels), or just walking. There is even an incredible deserted 1.5 mile stretch of abandoned old Highway just NW connecting the WindMark to Mexico beach. It's open to the public and has beach access in 2 places. One in the middle (look for parking spaces on beach side with trail coming right out the middle) and one at the opposite end from Windmark. That area is breathtaking peaceful true Florida beach habitat that won't be that way for long undoubtedly (already they are breaking ground on a huge development). The pool which you have access to is PERFECT for young children! It's got a GREAT playground right there which good padding underneath and the pool itself is a wonderful design for kids with it's zero entry area and it being only 4.5 feet deep at it's deepest points. The restaurant looks lovely but we didn't try it. The WindMark complex is very convenient (10 min either direction) to Port St. Joe and Mexico Beach where you'll find grocery, restaurant or other shopping available (unlike Cape San Blas which is extremely limited - which is ok too :)). This area is a quite nature and family oriented area without major attractions, heavy drinking everywhere, mobs of student spring breakers, and the litter that goes along with those. If you're looking for some classic beach relaxation this is the right spot. The house is brand new and immaculate. Love all the simple, clean, white décor. The kitchen supplies were top of the line and had everything you needed and maybe more! The beds are extremely comfortable and the bedding soft and just the right weight with some extra blankets that were cozy for snuggling on the couch. The TVs were useful on rainy days and we appreciated the owners leaving their account logged in so we could use their HBO, Netflix, and Amazon Prime accounts as guests, although others may wish to log them out and log into their own accounts. The shower pressure and showers themselves were all you could ask for! Love the outdoor shower and foot sprayer on the side of the house. My kids thought the landscaping was a giant sandbox and played in it for hours! The THREE screened porches are also delightful places to take in the sounds and sights of nature while being protected from mosquitos. We didn't see any mosquito's in early April, but I'd bet the marshes that form after rainstorms under the nearby boardwalks turn into breeding grounds later when it warms up ;) All in all this property and the property management are everything you could ever ask for. We found the cost to be very reasonable too considering all you're getting!
