The perfect bungalow

I absolutely loved staying at Bear Necessities. I was in need of time to myself and this simple bungalow immediately felt like home. The kitchen is well appointed with everything a cook might need. Including various spices, oils and a basic selection of canned and dry goods. Much more than I expected. I cooked three of the four nights of my stay. The patio is just as perfect. I sat out there for every meal. The Queen sized bed is quite comfortable and is equipped with my favorite brand of pillows. It is a certainty that I will recommend Bear Necessities to anyone that asks. And if I ever return to Mexico Beach I will be checking the app for availability. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Perfect

Bear necessities was the perfect place to stay. The house was just the right size and very clean and everything we could possibly need was there plus more. We loved sitting in the outdoor area in the afternoons and the outdoor shower was great after a day at the beach. There was even a golf cart we could use. The location was close to the beach and places to eat. We will definitely be back next year!

Peaceful sanctuary!

Just the right size and location to unwind and rejuvenate. The beach was very close and it was easy to navigate the area. I appreciated the chance to get away and enjoy the sand, sun and seafood in the area. I highly recommend this cute little gem. Definitely would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Vickers

Hi! We're your hosts - Mark & Denise. We love the beach - sun, sand, surf - and we're thrilled to share our unique home with you. Read more about us and how we discovered Mexico Beach here. https://www.bearnecessitiesmexicobeach.com/about-us

Why they chose this property

When we arrive in Mexico Beach, the stress of our busy work lives immediately melts away and we believe it will for you too. Mexico Beach is a friendly, fishing community that is a great place to relax and enjoy the pristine beauty of the Gulf of Mexico. What our home lacks in size, it makes up in personality.

What makes this property unique

The proximity (3 blocks) to the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico can't be beat. We have everything you'll need to stay comfortably. Just bring your selves and your swimsuits.
