About this property

Newly built, cottage with historical details, WiFi & central AC - steps to beach

Summary:

Cornerstone Beachside Cottage



The Space:

Newly built in 2021 in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael, the Cornerstone Beachside Cottage is bursting with character. Located Gulf-side of Hwy. 98, this charmer boasts gorgeous ocean views on three sides and an unbeatable location just a few steps from the beach. Pictures and mementos of the original 1950s cottage that once stood on this spot and other Mexico Beach landmarks are displayed around the home, including the downstairs 1/2-bath vanity, made from a recovered piece of the pier. The blanket bench at the foot of the main suite’s bed was custom-made from a diving platform, pulled from the woods after the hurricane, and the donated headboard is from the original El Governor Motel. Finally, the half-wall at the top of the stairs was custom-made from a WWII Liberty Ship hatch cover, and the three stained-glass windows, imported from England, found new life at Cornerstone via Savannah, GA.



Lucky guests of this kiwi-green cottage will find not only history, but also modernity inside this brand-new space. The well-equipped kitchen features lots of counter space, a coffee bar, eat-in island and stainless steel appliances. The adjacent living room offers a large sectional, perfect for an afternoon snooze. If you’ve brought any remote work, the coffee table pops up to a desk, and the home’s 5G internet makes connecting easy. All TVs are smart TVs, making connection to personal streaming accounts simple and fast. Both bedrooms feature direct access to the bathroom and gorgeous sunrise and sunset views – but also blackout shades for those mornings you want to sleep in.



Outside, you’ll find several spaces for relaxing, including a porch off the living room, a screened porch - ideal for morning coffee and evening cocktails - and a second covered porch, accessible from the top of the stairs and the front bedroom, the perfect place to enjoy the Gulf breeze. Finally, the lower-level entertainment space offers access to the private outdoor shower and dressing room. Ample additional seating and beach chairs are provided and stored under the outdoor staircase for your use. For a taste of history complete with all the modern conveniences, you simply can’t beat a stay at Cornerstone Beachside Cottage!

Excellent stay in Mexico Beach

Home was clean, and exactly how the listing described it. There is a small, but nice view of the Gulf from the top deck off of the bedroom. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had all conveniences of home, and there was ample parking for our car. Would definitely stay at again in the future!

Honeymoon Stay

Me and my husband thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very nice and clean and not a far walk to the beach at all. A very short drive to the marina for bait and to go out on the jet skis.

Great Family Getaway

The house had everything we could need for our family of 4. It was really nice having the beach chairs. There was also a few beach toys and umbrella. The walk to the beach was so quick and easy. Location was amazing.

Nice Beach Getaway!

Loved the beach house. It’s a super easy walk to the beach to set up for the day. The area is very nice and safe. They are doing construction on the street but it didn’t bother us at all. It was nice to have the beach with just a few neighbors around!

Perfect home for a family getaway!

We have been traveling to Mexico Beach for the last eight years, and this rental is by far our favorite so far! 500 steps from the beach, but not located centrally to the city proper so the beach doesn’t get too crowded. It was a well appointed home and all the balconies make for great sunset watching. We will definitely be returning!

Great place!

We loved Mexico Beach. The house and the space were perfect for me and my husband. It was clean, well equipped with everything we needed. We sat on the porches for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. We loved being so close to the beach to be able to walk every morning, spend time there every day and walk down to watch the sunset. Thank your for a great stay, we will be back!

Very clean and Lovely place. Easy short walk to the beach. The management company very responsive and helpful. This place has everything you need for a beach stay. I would return for sure. Be aware construction all day right outside your windows and lots of stairs if you have difficulty with stairs.

Coming back for sure!!!

Lovely place. Decided to start a family tradition here! I’ll be returning soon. Me, husband, 11 yo, and 10 mo. Wouldn’t recommend as a couples thing given that the room is jack/jill but perfect small family. No tub for baby but kitchen sink was large enough! Love this place. Very clean! Great location! Wish the king was in the room with balcony but I understand the space would have been limited. Thanks for having us and sharing your home with others. =)

Nice and cozy

We really liked the beach house. It is a very short walk to the beach (50 yards?), quiet, convenient, and had everything we needed. Even though I was aware of the stairs, they did become kind of a bother after a while. The living room, kitchen, and half bath were on the 2nd floor and the two bedrooms and full bath were on the third floor. There is a freight elevator that would have been very helpful when unloading/loading the car, but was locked and unavailable. All in all, is recommend this project to anyone thinking of staying in Mexico Beach.

Better than winter in Michigan

Nice condo. We’re just happy the other couple that was going to join us had to cancel. The condo has no closets or dressers so we had to use the 2nd bedroom/bed as a place to store our clothes. We were living out of suit cases stacked on the bed for 2 weeks. Renters should be advised of this. Other than that we had a great time but will not rent again due to the lack of closets and/or dressers or a place to keep clothes.

Pictures need to be updated

This is a gorgeous house, very close to the beach and we loved our stay, but it was a surprise to be surrounded by other houses on all sides, one of which is an active construction site. I know this area is still in recovery and construction is to be expected, but an updated listing would have been helpful. The lower deck now mostly has a view of the new house built right behind it and we didn't use it at all. The upper deck has a peek of a view of the Gulf, but it is mostly overshadowed by the house next door, which has a rooftop deck looking right down on you if someone is using it. The ground level seating area is right next to the construction, which thankfully looks to be close to finished. One unexpected perk was the double-headed shower, it was very nice. We had to go back out to get coffee filters, salt and pepper. Luckily, there is a little market nearby. Otherwise, it was a great stay, just a bit different than the pictures led us to believe.
