Summary:

The Emerald Cottage



The Space:

Less than half a mile away from Mexico Beach find The Emerald Cottage! Truly a dream, this coastal home is completely updated and grants guests shared pool access. Here, fun in the sun is inevitable and the memories are drenched in sunshine. When guests aren't swimming in the cool turquoise waters of the pool, they can head for the Cape San Blas Lighthouse, Mexico Beach Sunset Park, or take a fishing charter.



Inside, cozy comforts and modern amenities blend together perfectly. The sun-filled living room boasts soft seating, tasteful decorations, and a large TV. The galley-style kitchen comes well-prepared for culinary ventures with its stainless steel appliances and plentiful meal prep space. Guests will enjoy dining with their loved ones at the quaint dining table, or alfresco on the patio.



Both bedrooms feature plush linens, inviting color palettes, and private TVs. A private washer/dryer, board games, central air-conditioning, dog bowls, a leash, and bags in the closet round out the home's stellar interior perks!



Outside, evenings can be spent barbecuing around the grill. An outdoor shower is also available in this space - perfect for sandy toes.
