Overview
Windmark - The Bird's Nest
Relax in bliss at this perfect home away from home, offering a screened porch, a balcony, and everything you need to slip right into vacation mode. With summery tones and beachy decor throughout, this retreat boasts an inviting ambiance that the whole family can enjoy. In your downtime between beach sessions, you can kick back in the hammock on the balcony to escape the heat while the chef of the group fires up the gas grill and cooks some burgers. If barbecuing isn't your preferred method of cooking, you'll be glad to know that there's a fully equipped kitchen inside, featuring a gas range, beautiful granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, so any recipe can be tackled with ease. The bar seating and the open living area make entertaining large groups a blast! What's nearby: Ideally positioned mere steps from the sand, this home will spoil the beach-goers of the group! As soon as the sun comes up, head out to the shore and collect seashells with a warm cup of coffee in hand.

The coastline is full of beautiful beaches and bike paths, including the three-mile Windmark paved waterfront trail, that will make for a day well-spent.

Had a great time
We had the best time on our family vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a better location and home to stay in with our family. We had plenty of room and enjoyed preparing meals together in the well-stocked kitchen. The porches were amazing! We rented bikes from R&R in Windmark, and he was great to work with too. We spent a lot of time on the bike paths and roads in the Windmark area. We even saw bear tracks in the sand. Thank you so much for allowing us to rent this home!
We really like the spaciousness of the common areas, it allowed for the whole family to be together comfortably. Appreciated the proximity of the house to the locations we spent time at during our visit and certainly the short walk to the beach.
We were very pleased with the house. Our family loved the wrap-around porch and large living room. The appliances were modern and worked very well. Highly recommended.
This house was great. The location to the beach was perfect. The boardwalk made the trek easy! For planning, the stairs are steep so if your party has mobility issues, there is only one downstairs bedroom.
This home is the perfect location and layout for multiple families. We loved having a separate living space on the second level for our kids. We've stayed in several properties in Windmark Beach and this is at the top!
