Hi Keely,
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. We’re glad that you and the family had a wonderful time. Please come and visit us again soon.
We had a great time. All the conveniences necessary to be comfortable were there. Nice short, walk to the beach. Great view on the back porch to have a drink and watch the sunset. Would definitely recommend for R&R.

Hi Tim,
We’re so happy that you had a great time at our place in Mexico Beach. You’re welcome back anytime.
We had a great time staying here! Check in was very easy. The kitchen and house was very well stocked and had everything we needed. The house was the perfect size for our family. Short walk to the beach right across the street. Great location to walk right to mango marleys and the local coffee and ice cream shops.
We enjoyed our stay with just a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed the food places close by and the little shops. The house fit us perfectly and had everything we needed to cook home meals.

Amazing Stay
This was our second stay in this beautiful place. We enjoyed it even more than the first time. Thanks für sharing your wonderful house.
We had an amazing time at this property! Very close walk to the beach, the pool and hot tub were fantastic! Beautiful beach with nice white sand and gorgeous sunsets! The house was very clean and came with everything we could have needed! We will definitely be coming back again!
Great property with excellent amenities. Walk to the beach. This was our 2nd stay and will definitely be back again! Owners are very helpful and quick to respond.
The rental had everything you could possibly need. The host got back with me very quickly when i had a slight issue. Very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay
This was our first trip to Mexico Beach but most certainly wont be our last. The quietness and emptiness of the beach was wonderful. Our stay was great. Home could have been a little cleaner but other than that the Owners are exceptional. They responded very quickly to our messages and handled things right away! We will def stay here again!
They owners were great and gave us a list of food and stores nearby before we arrived. The house is a short walk to the beach and we saw manatees in the canal behind the house. They had 6 beach towels and tons of chairs, umbrellas and beach toys! The house was perfect! Will definitely go back!

This was our first time visiting Mexico Beach, we will 100% return! Great house and location within walking distance to beach, restaurants and shops. All the essentials were onsite- beach cart, towels, chairs, toys, etc! There was plenty of room for our family of six to spread out. Would absolutely consider re-booking in the future.
This house is great! It is the most stocked vacation home we have ever been in. We used the beach chairs daily! Also super helpful information sheet about nearby spots. Town closes down VERY early. Make sure to eat early if you are going out. We also had groceries delivered from Walmart. Its about a 20 min drive to any large stores.
We just headed home from our stay at this location. The hosts were wonderful and responsive! The house itself was perfect for our group which included teenagers! We received a great info sheet via email which included closing times of local eateries and stores. This was very helpful as the town is not like an all night everything open kind of beach town. I would absolutely recommend this host/location!
This was our second year staying at Mexico Beach. While we didn’t stay at this exact house last time we stayed in this community. Very easy access to both pool and beach. They have redone most of the boardwalk so that was nice to see this year. There are still some spots to watch out for.
The house was equipped with everything we needed! There were some things that needed addressed but the communication with the owners was amazing and they were very quick to reply.
I would definitely recommend this house and location to anyone!
This is our second year coming and staying here! We love the house and Mexico Beach. The house has everything you need (in the kitchen, space, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc), plenty of room and beautiful. Love the location away from the crowded beaches. Very low key. 1-2 min walk across street to the beautiful quiet beach . Great balconies and deck. 15 minutes drive to Port St Joes with restaurants and grocery. Food trucks walking distance and rental bikes, etc across the street. Owners are very responsive and helpful! Will definitely return again. We love it here.
The house and location are perfect! The beach is a short 5 minute walk across 98 which isn’t too busy. We did drive to the beach access to drop off some heavier items but there is no beach parking on 32nd street. You can drive down to 37th for free beach parking if you want. The house was exactly as advertised. There were a few minor repairs that need to happen, most notably a few door handles kept falling off, but it was nothing that affected our stay. We had 7 people total and there were plenty of comfy beds. I will say the top floor loft can get a little warm but that is to be expected in Florida in June. Our family absolutely loved this house and our stay and we’re so thankful for the amazing time together. I would highly recommend this house!

About the host
Hosted by Vicci Lefort
Vicci loves the beach and Mike loves the mountains. Thus, we have the best of both worlds with the mountain house in NC and the beach home in FL. Our Cottage was purchased in 2012 and we enjoy spending the winters in Florida. We love to travel and have traveled to many tropical locations - Fiji, Maldives, Rarotonga, Hawaii, Belize, BVI's, Greece, Guam, St. Croix, St Martin, St. Barth's, Guadeloupe and Bora Bora. In summary, we love the sunshine, beaches, sailing and scuba diving and are happy to share the beautiful area of Mexico Beach and the Forgotten Coast with you in our Waterside Cottage.
Why they chose this property
Mexico Beach and the Forgotten Coast area are known for being family oriented and having beautiful, uncrowded, white sand beaches. The beach is a short one block away. The other popular thing to do in Mexico Beach is sport fishing. The Cottage is located right on the canal and include day docks for overnight parking of your fishing boat. You can walk right out the back door, hop in your boat and cruise out the inlet into the ocean. The Waterside Village community includes a large swimming pool and a hot tub for cooling off and relaxing at the end of your day.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location!! In less than five minutes walking from the front door you can feel sand between your toes, cross the street to Mango Marley's for a cold beach drink, hop in your boat, stop for bait at the Marina and cruise right out into to the ocean, or refresh yourself with a cool dip in the pool. If you don't catch any fish, you can walk to the Shell Shack for fresh steamed shrimp and pick up a nice snapper or grouper filet. Mexico Beach is centrally located. You can head east for an outings and restaurants in Port St. Joe, Cape San Blas, St George, St Vincent or Apalachicola or west into St. Andrews or Panama City. With access to all of these locations, you'll have plenty to do and see or you can do nothing at all and lounge on the beach.
