Nearby Attractions:
WindMark Beach sits in the heart of Florida's Forgotten Coast — one of the state's most unspoiled stretches of coastline. Here's what's within easy reach:
• Mexico Beach (~15 min east) A charming, small-town beach community known for its laid-back vibe, local seafood restaurants, fishing piers, and boutique shops. Rebuilt and revitalized after Hurricane Michael, it's a resilient and welcoming destination.
• Port St. Joe (~15 min west) A historic waterfront town with galleries, unique shops, excellent dining, and the Cape San Blas Lighthouse area. The nearby St. Joseph Peninsula State Park is one of Florida's most beautiful, offering pristine beaches and nature trails.
• Cape San Blas & St. Joseph Peninsula State Park (~25 min) Consistently ranked among the top beaches in the U.S., this narrow peninsula offers sugar-white sand, crystal-clear water, sea turtle nesting sites, kayaking, and some of the best sunsets on the Gulf Coast.
• Apalachicola (~45 min west) Famous for its oysters, this historic fishing town offers waterfront dining, antique stores, craft breweries, and the charm of Old Florida at its finest.
• St. George Island (~1 hr west) A barrier island paradise with 28 miles of undeveloped beaches, a state park, and a quaint village with restaurants and shops.
• Fishing & Water Sports: The area is a paradise for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts, with Gulf fishing, bay fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, scalloping (seasonal), and dolphin tours all nearby.

Lovely community and beautiful house but the pool being closed was a big disappointment for our kids.- Reviewed On: 4/11/2023

Wonderful vacation experience! This home is very well furnished with upgraded furniture and nice decor that feels more like a primary residence than a rental home. The front porch overlooks a park like setting which provided a nice breeze and the side screened porch was great for relaxing in the morning and afternoon. Our favorite relaxation area was the back deck which is covered by a lighted pergola and has a magnificent hot tub and outdoor TV! Only a 5-7 walk to the beach and never near a busy street. Cool little Main Street area with shops and restaurants also within walking distance. We will definitely stay at this property again.- Reviewed On: 8/15/2021

We rented this particular house for the pool access. The pool was close except for the last 2 days we were there. A call from Pristine Properties would have been nice.

Unfortunately the pool pump going out at the community pool was not a scheduled event. We do our best to make everyone aware of issues or problems as soon as they are known.

Our vacation at”A Slice of Heaven “,was just that! One of the most enjoyable weeks we have had as beach vacations go. So peaceful,so quiet. Once you enter the back terrace, you are greeted by the most amazing and lovely fragrance I’ve yet to experience. I’m speaking of the beautiful trailing jasmine that flows over the private back patio and instantly soothes your soul! If this is not enough the huge hot tub was there ready to melt and massage every ache away. The house was fully equipped for anything you could possibly need or want. Very spacious and beautifully decorated, the house was perfect! Also the best nights rest as the beds, linens and huge shower was over the top. Highly recommend you try this one!- Reviewed On: 6/24/2021

Security code provided to access key was not accurate, did not match options available. Also, we did not have adequate/clear info for locking the doors on departure. We expected kitchen to be minimally equipped. However, we have never rented a property which did not have a basic set of kitchen knives, which this did not.Otherwise we loved the property and would definitely rent again.

Slice of Heaven is a wonderful house for a family. It is stylishly decorated. We enjoyed the screened porch in the mornings and the front porch in the evenings. Plenty of room. It was quite a little walk to beach area but was boardwalk all the way which made an easy walk. The only problems we had were the icemaker did not work in refrigerator and we had to purchase Ice every day. Also smoke detector kept going off in the afternoons, finally took the battery out. Pristine Properties responded well to each call made they were unable to fix ice maker. I would highly recommend this house.from Carrollton - Reviewed On: 10/17/2020

So glad you enjoyed your stay. We're currently working with a local appliance repair person to troubleshoot the ice maker and resolve any issues found. We hope to see you return and stay with us again.
