Indialantic's Hidden Gem: Windemere Inn's Oceanfront Paradise Awaits!
Windemere Inn: Oceanfront Paradise… With a Few Quirks That Make It Real!
Okay, real talk. I've just spent a few glorious, sun-drenched days (and a few slightly less glorious, rain-drenched ones) at Indialantic's "Hidden Gem," the Windemere Inn. And while "paradise" might be a slight exaggeration (more on that later), it's definitely a solid contender for a relaxing beach getaway. Let's dive in, shall we? This isn't some perfectly manicured review; this is the truth, warts and all.
Accessibility: Alright, straight off the bat: Accessibility is decent. They've got an elevator (phew!), making it easier to navigate those stairs. The website says they have facilities for disabled guests, but honestly, I didn't see a ton of overtly "accessible" features beyond that. They should really clarify that. Seems pretty middle-of-the-road about it, not a huge selling point.
Cleanliness and Safety (The New Reality): I'm gonna give Windemere a solid A+ here. I'm a major germaphobe, especially post-pandemic. They REALLY take cleanliness seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and rooms sanitized between stays? Check, check, and check! They've even got individually-wrapped food options and hand sanitizer everywhere. The staff? They seemed well-trained in safety protocol. Made me feel much more comfortable relaxing. They also have a doctor/nurse on call, which, frankly, is a relief, even if you don't need it.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious (and Sometimes Slightly Messy) Food!
Okay, let's get real about the food scene. Windemere boasts restaurants, a poolside bar, a coffee shop and a snack bar. The buffet in restaurant was… well, it was a buffet. Not bad, but not exactly Michelin-star worthy. Typical hotel fare. They offer Asian cuisine in restaurant, and *Western cuisine in restaurant as well. The breakfast service, however, was a highlight. The *Western breakfast* was a classic, the Asian breakfast not so much. They also offer Breakfast takeaway service in the mornings for those beach-bound before the breakfast hours. I'm partial to the coffee shop, excellent salad in restaurant while looking out at the ocean.
Here's where things get interesting… and a little messy. One evening, I ordered room service (24-hour, bless them!). I was craving a burger. And, okay, it wasn't the best burger I've ever had. The bun was slightly stale. But… and this is a big but… the view from my balcony, as I ate it, was stunning. The sunset, the waves… it was pure magic. That imperfect burger, eaten in that perfect moment? It's a memory I'll cherish. See? Imperfection can be beautiful.
Ways to Relax (Or, "How I Spent My Time Pretending to Be Zen"):
Body Scrub, Body Wrap, Fitness Center, Foot Bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]: They say they have a spa. Said. I went looking for it. Couldn’t find it. Actually… it was there, but the hours were tricky, and getting an appointment felt like cracking a secret code. I finally got a massage. And it was amazing. The masseuse was a miracle worker, kneading away all my stress and leaving me feeling like a limp noodle. The Pool with a view was the real treat. I spent most of my time there. The Sauna also. The steamroom… well, it was steamy. And the swimming pool was refreshing, particularly after a long day at the beach. The fitness center? I glanced in once. Let's just say my idea of "fitness" mostly involved leisurely strolls on the beach, so that's all I'll say about that.
Rooms and Amenities (The Nitty Gritty):
My room? Pretty solid. The air conditioning worked like a charm (thank heavens!), and I had the requested window that opens. The Wi-Fi [free] was generally reliable (Internet access – wireless). The bed was comfy and big. Extra long bed was appreciated. The blackout curtains actually worked. But here's a slightly funny incident: I accidentally set off the smoke detector. I'm not sure how, because I wasn't even cooking! The whole hotel had to evacuate, and I felt like a total idiot. But hey, the staff was super chill about it. They see it all, I guess. The robes were plush, the coffee maker was convenient, and the complimentary tea was a nice touch. Additional toilet was appreciated.
Services and Conveniences:
They offer the usual suspects: daily housekeeping, laundry service, luggage storage, concierge, etc. A convenience store is helpful for the quick snacks and drinks. Oh, and the car park [free of charge]. Saved a few bucks, for sure! The front desk [24-hour] was always helpful and friendly, even when I was frantically asking for help after the smoke detector incident.
For the Kids:
I don't have kids, but I did notice they advertised Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. Looked like they had a dedicated children's pool and some fun activities.
Getting Around:
Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge]. Very good for a hotel.
The Bottom Line (My Opinionated Take!)
Windemere Inn isn't perfect. But that's the charm of it, I think. It's not sterile or overly fancy. It's a relaxed, comfortable place to unwind. If you're looking for a flawless experience, you might be disappointed. But if you're looking for a place with a friendly vibe, stunning ocean views, and a genuine commitment to cleanliness, this could be your Indialantic paradise.
Here's Where I Get Really Opinionated:
The Windemere Inn is not the Ritz-Carlton. You shouldn't go expecting that. Its a more chilled out vibe with staff that, while not exactly polished, are genuine and helpful. It’s a place where you can spill coffee on your shirt (I did!), laugh about it, and still have an incredible time.

Windemere Inn by the Sea: Meltdown in Paradise (Day 1-3)
(Day 1: Arrival and Immediate Panic)
- 1:00 PM - Arrival at Melbourne Airport: The plane touched down, and naturally, I spilled coffee all over my "I Heart Florida" tote bag. First impression? Humid. Sticky. And my hair is already rebelling.
- 1:30 PM - Uber to Windemere: Smooth ride, thankfully. The driver, a local with a sun-kissed leathery face, kept talking about manatees. He sounded like Morgan Freeman, only more enthusiastic about slow-moving aquatic mammals. I was already feeling more relaxed.
- 2:00 PM - Check-in at Windemere: Okay, the lobby is charming, all breezy whites and nautical knick-knacks. The woman at the desk is excessively cheerful; it's almost suspicious. She gives me a room key, and tells me about breakfast. I think I like it.
- 2:30 PM - Room Reveal: The oceanfront view! Gorgeous, technically. The room itself… well, it’s clean. The bedspread screams "grandma's beach house," which is…fine. But how do I plug my phone into the wall? Is there even Wi-Fi? (Panic rising…) Oh no.
- 3:00 PM - Attempting to "Unwind": I try to sit on the balcony and soak in the glorious ocean view. Instead, I get eaten alive by mosquitos. Apparently, my blood is a delicacy. I run inside, swatting, and immediately start Googling "mosquito repellent." This is not the relaxing start I envisioned.
- 4:00 PM - Wandering the Beach: Okay, this is good. The sand is soft, the waves are a gentle rumble, and the sun is warm. I kick off my shoes, feel the sand between my toes…and then immediately step on a piece of (probably) sea glass. Ouch. Maybe I should have kept my shoes on. I sit on the beach to look at that ocean. I'm here. I'm doing this. I think I'm really happy.
- 6:00 PM - Dinner at a local restaurant. It was fine. Ate too much, of course.
(Day 2: The Great Beach Debacle and Lobster Rolls)
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast: The "complimentary breakfast" is… well, let's just say it's not exactly a gourmet experience. Plastic-wrapped muffins, questionable coffee, and fruit that has definitely seen better days. I choke down a muffin.
- 9:00 AM - Beach Day 2.0: Armed with ridiculous amounts of sunscreen, bug spray, and a beach umbrella that's more complicated to set up than building a miniature spaceship. I set about conquering the sand.
- 9:30 AM - Beach Day 3.0: I realized that I forgot my beach towel! I am really bad at this!
- 12:00 PM - Lobster Roll Lunch. Oh my gosh. This was the best thing I've ever eaten… and a full day was worth it. I will seek this restaurant again.
- 2:00 PM - More beach. The sand is hot. The waves are really nice. I am sleepy.
- 4:00 PM - Exploring Indialantic: I took a walk around. The streets are quiet, all that's here are cute shops, art galleries. Nothing interesting.
- 6:00 PM - Sunset Cocktails: I've found a bar with a view! I order a margarita. It's strong, which is exactly what I need. The sunset? Breathtaking. For a moment, I feel genuinely, deeply content. This is why I travel. This is why I'm here.
(Day 3: The Search for Surf & Soul (and Maybe Decent Coffee)
- 7:00 AM - Coffee Crisis: Desperate for actual coffee, not that lukewarm hotel swill. I embark on a quest for a decent cup. This becomes an unexpected adventure! Oh, and the small shop owner was absolutely kind, I felt like I was home.
- 9:00 AM - Surf Lessons Attempt: Learning to surf in my late thirties? What could go wrong? Everything, probably. But I try. The instructor is young, toned, and patient. I fall. A lot. I swallow a lot of saltwater. It’s humiliating, exhausting, and… surprisingly fun.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch, Post-Surf: A burger, fries, and a beer. This seems to be my designated post-surf meal.
- 2:00 PM - Windemere Pool Time. Honestly, I just wanted to lay on the pool chair and stare at the palm trees, soaking it all up.
- 5:00 PM - Packing and Inner Turmoil: I can't decide how to feel about this trip ending. I miss my comfy bed and routines, but I also am really enjoying sun, sand, and the feeling of being free.
- 6:30 PM - Goodbye Dinner: The innkeeper recommended this restaurant. It wasn't terrible, but I would have rather eaten at the lobster roll. My brain is wired that way.
(Epilogue) The next morning comes really fast. I find myself at the airport, waiting for my flight. This whole experience? Messy, frustrating, delicious, and strangely beautiful. It wasn't perfect, but that's the point, isn't it? It was real. And maybe, just maybe, I'm leaving a tiny piece of my slightly-less-stressed self behind in Indialantic
Important Note: This itinerary is subject to change based on mood swings, mosquito attacks, caffeine levels, and the availability of lobster rolls. Enjoy!

Windemere Inn's Oceanfront Paradise - FAQs (…and a Few Rants!)
Okay, so, Windemere… What’s the big deal? Everyone raves about the ocean views… Is it *really* that good?
Is it *really* "hidden"? I mean, Indialantic isn't exactly a bustling metropolis…
What are the rooms like? Do they have those dreadful, dated beach-themed decorations? I can't handle another seashell lamp.
Okay, the view is great, the rooms sound decent. But what about the *service*? I'm not a demanding person, but I *do* expect basic hospitality.
What about breakfast? Is it just sad, pre-packaged muffins or the good stuff?
Is it kid-friendly? Or is it one of those "romantic getaway only" kinds of places?
Is there a pool? (Because, you know, the ocean can be a bit… salty.)
Okay, the internet is filled with glowing reviews, but surely there's *something* wrong with Windemere? What's the catch? Spill the tea!
Okay, you've convinced me. How do I book?! And, more importantly… can *I* get thatHotel Radar Map
