About this property

Only steps from the beach

The home is located in Mexico Beach Fla aka the forgotten coast. Five miles of sandy beach this unique community offers great fishing, over 300 undersea reefs, restaurants and a Million-dollar view. The strip along Highway 98 will also take you to Port St. Joe and Cape San Blas. After a devasting hurricane in 2018 the owner wanted no more than to help revitalize the area and share his little piece of paradise that he loves so much with you and your family. We hope you will love it too.

This is our second trip to this property and it is always a pleasure to stay at. We always have instructions well ahead of the trip, the home is clean and smells amazing when we arrive. There are plenty of amenities to cook meals with and the outdoor areas are great. The beds are comfortable though we still wish the would put a king in the master. The short walk to the beach is always great, locals are kind when crossing the highway. We keep this as a favorite because the owners are family are so easy to work with when things, inevitably, pop-up that need corrected or repaired.

What a perfect spot! This end of the beach was very quiet - plenty of beach space even during spring break. Literally steps from the beach..it's just across the street...so gorgeous sunset views. House was one of the best stocked homes I've ever used with a "take some/leave some" policy regarding the basics. Communication was outstanding and the house was really beautiful. I will definitely stay here again on future trips to Mexico Beach.

Never want to leave!

Loved this home. Much larger and nicer than pictures show. Huge open living/dining/kitchen area. Well appointed. Very clean. Nice bedrooms with good closet space. The view is amazing! So close to the beautiful white sand of Mexico Beach. Sunsets are gorgeous. We didn’t wanna leave on our last day and were able to add another day on at the last minute easily with the help of the host. Can’t wait to return.

Family vacation

Property is as described. Updated appliances and furnishings. Very clean. We had a small challenge left by previous guest that was quickly addressed by Jackie. Location is amazing. Boardwalk to beach directly across street. From door to oceanfront seat on beach is about 60 yards. Definitely hope to return for another stay in the future. Highly recommend.

Week of relaxation

This home is nicely situated on the corner of 98 and 6th across from a crossover. 20 minute drive to Callaway Walmart, 45 minutes to the state park on Cape San Blas. The home was clean. The beds were situated with the queen in the master and the king in another room which we found annoying but still slept well. The front windows were awesome but left privacy while sitting in the living room out the window (pun intended). Overall, we will look for this property again next time we go to our favorite little town.

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Simpson

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

If the million- dollar view doesn't capture you the community will!! The owner was watching the news about the devastation caused by the hurricane in 2018. He came down to help rebuild the local area and in doing so he fell in love with the people and the location. It quickly became his home away from home. He knew he wanted to share that with others in hopes they would come to love this area as much as he does. The fishing is great! the area has over 300 underwater reefs, locally owned restaurants, no traffic lights and best of all no high-rise condos!!

What makes this property unique

Amazing Sunsets, white sandy beaches, room to spread out your towels and a home away from home. Traffic is moderate but not like at most beaches. You can get your beach chair and a cold drink sit back and fish right there on the beach. Honestly, It's just perfect.!
