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!

The location is a few steps away from the beach, you can walk to stores and restaurants, the environment is safe, friendly and such a peace of mind. The staff and management do their... More

We just returned home from the windjammer. It is a very very quiet resort, very clean and the people who own it and work there were very helpful and friendly. It's in a great location cause you can walk to stores, restaurants, bars etc...not a lot for young kids, no playground d, but two pools and right on the ocean.
