Property Details

With a location steps from the white sands of the Gulf and a luxurious interior dressed in all the comforts of home, this beautiful house has something for everyone and is the perfect place to stage your next vacation!

When you vacation at The Abiding Vine, you'll love the provided golf cart, three bicycles, and an electric-assist adult tricycle. Explore four miles of beachfront paved biking/walking paths, and fantastic on-site amenities, including a shared pool, playground, and Windmark Town Center. Here you'll find Bruno's Pizza, The View on 98 Beach Front Fine Dining, The Mill Mercantile & Social which features a full bar, alcohol available for purchase, staple grocery items, a coffee bar, ice cream bar, and sweet shop, Rest & Relax Outfitters (for family bike rentals, paddle boards, kayaks, solo stoves, etc.) No boats are allowed on the property.

The interior is bright and welcoming, with coffered ceilings, comfortable furniture, a ceiling fan, and a smart TV in the living room. You'll find beautiful décor and floors throughout, and there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out in. The full kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a Keurig Duo machine, and everything you could possibly need for creating favorite recipes. A center prep island doubles as a breakfast bar. Gather at the dining table, or take your plates out to the furnished patio for alfresco meals. The main bedroom boasts a smart TV, an en suite bathroom, and an office space furnished with a work desk, a monitor, and a chair. High-speed WiFi is provided. The outdoor shower will spritz the sand away after beach adventures, and the washer/dryer will knock out everyone's beachy laundry in no time. Central air-conditioning and ceiling fans keep the home nice and cool during those hot summer months, while kid-friendly extras like a high chair, Pack 'n Play, and board/card games add convenience.

You'll have plenty of terrific restaurants within five miles of the home anytime you want a break from the kitchen, such as The View and Shipwreck Raw Bar and Grill.

The Abiding Vine was awesome. Newer comstruction in development. Big, open kitchen, dining, living area. Comfortable furniture and beds. Golf cart and bikes provided and in great shape. 5 minutes cart ride to.pool, beach, restaurants. Laundry room to keep up with towels etc. Well stocked with plates, pans, utensilsn etc. Grill could be bigger for families but fine for 3-4. Big TVs in all living areas. Quiet cul de sac. Easy to find. Electronic key. Highly recommend and we will be returning here most likely next couple of years

Windmark is a great neighborhood to vacation in. The village center is great, the access to the beach is exceptional, the pool was clean and warm. Abiding Vine is clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable week. We slept great, enjoyed the space and felt comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for more. When we come back to Port St. Joe, we will definitely try to stay here again.

We are glad you love PSJ and The Abiding Vine!! We hope to have you back soon.

Our family had the most wonderful time here. The house is amazing and so spacious. It is decorated beautifully and is in the most convenient location.
The house is just steps from the beach and just a few minute drive to downtown where there are lots of great restaurants. The golf cart was a great added touch and provided lots of fun.
I would highly recommend this house for a family vacation anytime of year.

Quiet, Peaceful Place to Stay

Beautiful, well appointed, tastefully decorated home. Complete with anything you could possibly need during your stay. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of space for spending time together with family or friends. A quick walk to a nearly secluded beach. We even saw dolphins one morning! If you want a quiet, peaceful place to stay, look no further than Sunshine Shel-A. Five stars!

Truly Amazing

We stayed at Sunshine Shel-A for a few weeks this Spring. What a special place! The home is brand new and fully stocked with everything you could need. The mattresses were very comfortable, and the coastal decor is fresh and inviting. They were even bikes in the garage for us to use--which is great, because Windmark Beach has miles of paved bike trails throughout, and the scenery and landscaping are not to be missed. The house is a quick 400 yards from beach, and all I can say is `WOW!` We had the beach to ourselves most of the time (which is unheard of anywhere else), and it is stunning. We went shelling along the beach every morning, and even saw dolphins playing just off the shortline. Bike or walk down the quaint little main street, just 2 blocks from house, and grab a cocktail at the Mill before catching the sunset on Florida`s truly amazing Forgotten Coast. Cute shopping in Port St Joe, and great food. We LOVED our meals from Provisions (2 for 1 Sangrias on Saturday), Quatros Tacos (Shrimp ala Diablos is soooo good), and KrazyFish Grill (Snapper A-Ya-Ya is amazing). And, you`re just a quick drive from the shops and restaurants in Apalachicola--so stop by the Seafood Grill for the best-fried oysters on the planet. It was a fantastic trip, and we`re already booking our next stay at Sunshine Shel-A. Can`t wait to go back!
