Steps from the shoreline in WindMark Beach, 542 Vermilion Circle offers a relaxed take on coastal living in one of Gulf County’s premier neighborhoods along St. Joseph Bay. The fully furnished residence is designed for comfortable, versatile everyday living—equally suited to a primary home, a beach getaway, or an investment property. Life here unfolds outdoors: stroll elevated boardwalks to the white-sand beach, wander nature trails and scenic bike paths, or take the golf cart through a master-planned, walkable community with generous green space. Amenities include two resort-style pools (one heated) with bay views, plus an amphitheater and village green gathering spaces. At the Village Center, local shops, cafes, Bruno’s Pizza, The Sunrise Cafe, and a fitness facility (separate membership required) bring an easy rhythm to each day, from sunset walks to casual dinners close to home.

Along the water’s edge in Indian Harbour Beach, oceanfront living starts with the Atlantic as your daily backdrop and the shoreline just steps away.

As a corner unit, it offers a broader sweep of scenery and a sense of openness that feels distinctly riverfront. The setting encourages slow mornings with the water in view and quieter evenings as the light changes across the river, all without leaving home. Here, the simple luxury is perspective: room after room oriented toward the Indian River, turning ordinary routines into moments anchored by nature’s shifting backdrop.
