Perfect location and so clean and comfy! It was exactly as described and “fully stocked” exceeded our expectations. Robin, the host, is also a great communicator. All you need for this place is your swimsuit! We cannot recommend it enough, and we will be back!

Thank you for this lovely review and for being such wonderful guests. I'm so glad that y'all enjoyed your stay and I sincerely look forward to next time!
When the host said fully stocked that was an understatement. I have never had a rental that supplied as much as Sea Shanty from snacks, coffee and creamer, enough toilet tissue for your entire stay, more than ample paper goods, even sunglasses and readers to borrow in case you forget yours. We kept finding surprises of supplies. The townhome is decorated beautifully and has very comfortable beds etc. Robin, the host, was very helpful with a situation that needed attention. She is truly concerned that you have a wonderful visit. Couldn’t ask for a better place to enjoy the beach.

Thank you for such a lovely review and for being great guests! I’m so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Sea Shanty and I sincerely look forward to being your host again!
Sea Shanty is a very special place. Robin may have been the best host I ever experienced in a rental. The amenities in this place are truly amazing. My wife and i would sit and dream up an amenity and then see if it was there. We literally could not think of anything that we couldn't find. The view on Mexico beach is specular and all the chairs to view it from or take to beach is impressive. This is an AAA rental.
Thank you for the wonderful stay. We were in awe of how well stocked the unit was and the attention given even to the smallest of details. Your hospitality that is so frequently referenced in the reviews goes unmatched. Thank you again.

Robin has made this place feel more like you're staying with family rather than a rental. Beds are super comfortable, everything is clean and the location absolutely can't be beat. This was our second time staying at Sea Shanty and it definitely won't be our last!

Right on the beach with a well stocked home away from home
Family of 6 enjoyed our stay with the biggest benefit of being right on the beach followed closely behind with the feeling of a home away from home since the location was stocked!

About the host
Hosted by Robin McKenzie
Working hard and spending time with our three kids and six grandchildren is our life! Sea Shanty is the perfect spot for some downtime to make wonderful memories with our family and friends. It's our hope that guests will do the same!
Why they chose this property
Our family began visiting Mexico Beach a couple years before Hurricane Michael destroyed the original property. We loved the location so much that the opportunity to become an owner was a dream come true. There's a peacefulness about the location that is so inviting. It's our favorite spot and we hope it becomes yours too!
What makes this property unique
The two lane, no red light, peaceful little town of Mexico Beach built back strong and was not only voted Garden & Guns' Best Beach in 2021, but was just named one of Travel & Leisure Magazine's Top Destinations for 2022! World Atlas also named Mexico Beach one of Panhandle's best small towns for a weekend getaway! There's a peaceful easy feeling here and the convenience of walking right onto the beach makes vacationing at Sea Shanty so pleasant. A gorgeous gulf view and the sound of waves on every level are the perfect setting to unwind, relax, and be refreshed!
