Dog-Friendly Beach Home · Golf Cart · Beach Access
Salty Dog Retreat isn't just a name — it's an invitation. An invitation to load the whole family (dogs included) into the golf cart, cruise down to the beach access through the beautifully designed WindMark Beach neighborhood, spend the day on the sand, and come home to a four-bedroom house where even the pups have their own cozy spot to crash. This immaculate, thoughtfully designed home in the coastal community of WindMark Beach North is the only property in the Cape Escape collection that is a true standalone house — with a full garage, a welcoming covered front porch, a screened back porch, and four distinct bedroom suites that sleep eight comfortably. The beach is a five-minute golf cart ride away. The Village Center is even closer. And every detail inside has been chosen, as one photo caption notes, "to inspire smiles and rest."
🐾 Dog friendly — well-behaved dogs under 50 lbs welcome with a pet fee. No other animals permitted.

Salty Dog Retreat has a different energy from the townhomes — it feels like a real neighborhood home, which is exactly what it is. Mornings start on the covered front porch where that welcoming entrance sets the tone for everything inside. Coffee happens in the open-concept kitchen while the group assembles around the breakfast bar or the dining table that comfortably seats all eight. When everyone's ready, load the gear into the garage, pile into the golf cart, and roll down to the beach access through the pretty streets of WindMark Beach North. Five minutes of golf cart breeze and you're there. Afternoons at the community pools or Village Green, evenings back at the house with the propane grill going on the screened porch, the deep-seated living room sofas holding the overflow, and the Google Smart TV handling whatever comes next. The master suite is a genuine luxury retreat — garden tub, separate shower, separate water closet — while the bunk room and two queen bedrooms mean even large groups have room to spread out with dignity. Salt air, salty dogs, and everything you need for the kind of vacation people talk about all year.
The main level is open-concept and generously proportioned — stainless steel kitchen with breakfast bar for four, dining table for eight, and a deep-seated living room with a huge Google Smart TV flowing out to the screened back porch. The foyer hall entrance with hooks and storage connects the secondary bedrooms and keeps beach chaos organized.
