Meet Your Hosts
Ely & Chuck

From the Enchanted Island of Puerto Rico to the bustling city of Virginia, our paths eventually led us to Tallahassee, where we found each other later in life.

One spontaneous drive brought us to Port St. Joe, and something about this place just clicked. It felt like more than a town — it felt like a possibility.

Now, we're planting roots here and stepping into a new chapter. We're two people who love the outdoors, live music, and chasing sunsets. The Forgotten Coast has a way of slowing time and making space for what really matters, and we're excited to share that feeling with you.

Orientation
Getting Around

You're in the heart of WindMark North — steps from the beach, with everything you need nearby.

🏖️

The Beach

Steps away via the boardwalk. Sugar-white sand, crystal Gulf water, and almost never crowded. Just walk out — it's that close.

🏊

Community Pool

The WindMark Beach community pool is just a short walk. Open all year. You'll see it on the map — hard to miss.

🚶

The Old 98 Trail

The "old 98" green road is a 2-mile paradise for walkers, runners, cyclists, and skaters connecting WindMark North to WindMark Village.

🛺

Golf Cart

Your golf cart makes everything easier — zip to the pool, the Village Center, The Mill, or the beach. Liability waiver required before use.

🏘️

WindMark Village

The Village Center has a café, pizza, boutique, fitness, and more — all a short cart ride away via the Old 98 trail.
