We had a great stay at Smokey’s Sunset. The condo was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and in a great location with easy beach access. The beach itself was beautiful and much less crowded than many of the larger Florida beach destinations, which was exactly what we were looking for.Scott and Katie were excellent hosts. Communication was outstanding from the time we booked until checkout. They proactively reached out with local recommendations, check-in information, and even arranged for an early check-in when the opportunity came up. It made the whole trip easy and stress-free.We especially appreciated all the local restaurant suggestions. If you’re looking for a quieter, laid-back beach town without the high-rises and crowds, Mexico Beach is worth a visit. We’d definitely stay here again.
My first time to Mexico Beach. This is a wonderful place to stay. The condo is very nice, clean and has plenty of amenities. From the balcony are great views of the water and gorgeous sunsets. Just steps from the beach. Our host Scott responded quickly to any questions I had. Would stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Great condo! Beautiful ocean, beach, & sunsets. Nicely furnished. Well equipped. Would have been perfect if the elevator had worked.
Host was great, stay was good. Out of their hands was the fact that it was colder time of year (early Feb.) w/ highest temperatures in the 50's. Very nice condo with great views of the Gulf of Mexico and access to the beach.
There were a couple very minor problems with cleanliness (for instance, one bathroom sink didn't look too clean) but overall we are very picky people about cleanliness so I think it might have just been us. Otherwise everything was as described: the photos accurately displayed the space, the kitchen supplies were adequate for the amount of cooking we did, the outdoor patio space was plentiful, the beach view was excellent, the bedrooms had a good bit of space and storage, and beds were comfy. There was also a closet with a ton of beach stuff in it like six beach chairs and children's beach toys. I've been renting on the Forgotten Coast for decades and communicating with this host was the best experience I've ever had. If we decide to go back we would be happy to rent this unit again.
Perfect condo for our fall family vacation. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Views from balcony were beautiful and unobstructed. It was a great week in this comfortable, well-equipped unit. Communication with owners was excellent.
Beautiful condo right on the beach. Great balcony. The condo was very clean and spacious, beds were comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. Will definitely be back.
Absolute perfection! We had 6 adults and everything was perfect. Great communication, well stocked, perfect location, descriptions were accurate and would recommend to anyone! We definitely plan to return to Smokey's Sunset at Mexico Beach!
Nice spacious 3 bedroom unit directly facing the ocean. Convenient to downtown Port St Joe. Easy to communicate with owners. Would definitely come back and recommend to others.
Our family of 5 had a great time @ Smokey’s sunset. It’s wonderful to see the Mexico Beach area return after the storm. Our unit was new and well laid out for a family. Great view of the Gulf and the beach restoration looks wonderful!

About the host
Hosted by Scott and Katie
Scott and Katie first enjoyed Mexico Beach in the fall of 2024. It was love at first sight and they toured this condo that very same trip.
Scott and Katie are from a small town in southern middle Tennessee. They often vacationed at the beach but were growing tired of the hustle and bustle of 30-A. Mexico Beach was their first truly relaxing beach trip, even with three small children, and they knew they had to make it a regular thing.
The Beasleys are a family of 5. Will, Jack and Wes love Mexico Beach as much as their parents. Driving monster trucks in the sand, crab hunting at night, and eating alligator tail are at the top of their list for fun things to do.
