My first time to Mexico Beach. This is a wonderful place to stay. The condo is very nice, clean and has plenty of amenities. From the balcony are great views of the water and gorgeous sunsets. Just steps from the beach. Our host Scott responded quickly to any questions I had. Would stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

We had a great stay at Smokey’s Sunset. The condo was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and in a great location with easy beach access. The beach itself was beautiful and much less crowded than many of the larger Florida beach destinations, which was exactly what we were looking for.Scott and Katie were excellent hosts. Communication was outstanding from the time we booked until checkout. They proactively reached out with local recommendations, check-in information, and even arranged for an early check-in when the opportunity came up. It made the whole trip easy and stress-free.We especially appreciated all the local restaurant suggestions. If you’re looking for a quieter, laid-back beach town without the high-rises and crowds, Mexico Beach is worth a visit. We’d definitely stay here again.

There were a couple very minor problems with cleanliness (for instance, one bathroom sink didn't look too clean) but overall we are very picky people about cleanliness so I think it might have just been us. Otherwise everything was as described: the photos accurately displayed the space, the kitchen supplies were adequate for the amount of cooking we did, the outdoor patio space was plentiful, the beach view was excellent, the bedrooms had a good bit of space and storage, and beds were comfy. There was also a closet with a ton of beach stuff in it like six beach chairs and children's beach toys. I've been renting on the Forgotten Coast for decades and communicating with this host was the best experience I've ever had. If we decide to go back we would be happy to rent this unit again.
