This is our second time, in as many years, coming to Mexico Beach and to one of the 4 properties the owners have on the block. Always clean, the kids love golf cart rides, the beach is never packed, and we will probably be back for a third time next summer. Thank you guys!

Nice New Home in Mexico Beach

Great new home in Mexico Beach. 5-star review w/ the following notes: Clean new home with all the features you would expect. Photos match the listing. Centrally located and easy to get to the beach. Community pool was nice and well kept. FYI's when you book: Minor detail - no salt and pepper (make sure you purchase) in the kitchen. Most items you need are provided but Teflon pans need to be replaced. There are three ring cameras on the exterior of the home - the ring camera on the back porch included a light that was VERY bright and at night was turning on+off constantly with no blinds on the transom (annoying if you want a dark house to sleep at night). We rented the golf cart at the property...the golf cart is not registered with the city (needs a decal) nor does it have a FL tag. The Sheriff threatened to take me to jail for driving it on on Hwy 98. This happened on Day #1 of our stay. I'm still glad we rented the golf cart because we were able to drive to the beach (parked on 15th Street next to the bank) without issue for the balance of our stay.

Great Stay

Our original plan was to stay only a couple of days just to check out Mexico Beach and the area, as a replacement for 30A as it has become too crowded. What a surprise, great property, NO COMPLAINTS at all. You will not be dissapointed. The area though is really still in recovery mode, a lot of construction and the only real restaurants are in Port St. Joe or St. Joe Beach We will be back

Family Vaca 2023

I loved everything about this property. We have a large family and had rented 2 houses for everyone to stay. We could all come to this house and eat and hangout and play games and it was perfect. The open floor plan gave us lots of room and never felt crowded. The home is gorgeous and very clean. The perfect place. We will definitely stay there again. We also met some of the neighbors and they were all so nice and welcoming. Could not have ask for more.

Nice clean new house

We had a great stay. The house is brand new and clean, and just around the corner from the beach. We looked for a garage door opener but didn't find one...it wasn't clear whether that was intended or not. We enjoyed hearing the mockingbirds in the morning. Overall great place!

A little far from the beach, but the house was great. Local HOA got involved over nitpicky parking issues at the house and threatened to tow guest vehicles. That was annoying.
