Short walk to the beach, perfect screened porch with swing. We would stay here again. It would be nice if you would add an extra mirror outside the bathroom. A full-length mirror would be great . Add a note to the listing about the extra coffee maker that takes K-Cups.

Hi
I'm Shep. I'm the property owner and manager. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Why they chose this property

I've been coming to Mexico Beach since 2007 and just love the area so right after hurricane Michael I bought this property and spent the next 3 years remodeling it myself. It's been quite and enjoyment and am happy to now share it with you.

What makes this property unique

The closeness to the beach, size of the yard and the great neighbors is what sealed the deal for me on this house.
