We enjoyed our stay. Our one-bedroom unit was smallish, fine for 2 people, 4 people would be pretty crowded. Only one small, 3-drawer dresser in living room. No dresser in bedroom. We had to live out of our suitcases. Closet size fine for hang up items, plenty of hangers provided. Bathroom small but nice. We were disappointed there was no... More

Our stay at the Windjammer was absolutely wonderful. Everything really is at your doorstep, from where you park your car to accessing the beach or pool. Restaurants and shops are all within a very short walk, yet you still feel like you are at one of the most relaxing locations in Florida. The staff are always friendly and courteous maintaining...

Recently stayed at the Windjammer Resort (May 11-15). The price was excellent compared to other beachfront properties. The resort is small and cozy, a home away from home. Service was excellent and the grounds were maintained well. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. They provide free parking, and free beach chairs and umbrellas. The beach is amazing and not...

We recently stayed at the Windjammer Resort for two weeks. This resort is probably among the best in Florida. It was clean, well cared for and exceeded our expectations. I saw no rowdiness at all, and I cannot imagine that the "hands-on" management would allow it. Beautiful grounds, lovely accommodations, bright and clean and lovingly cared for. Simply could not...

Have stayed here in high season but now prices are lower and the biggest problem is the clientele taking advantage of the lower rates seems to be a different crowd -- loud, drunk, and lack of basic manners. These were not college spring breakers, they were 40+ adults, foul mouthed, guys who think making foul remarks to you wife is... More

Came to visit relatives and friends who have a timeshare here at the Windjammer. Very clean units with coffee maker, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher and toaster. Prompt maintenance service and a great cleaning service. Friendly staff at the front desk. Pool shielded from wind by plexiglass. Will definitely return!
