As Mexico Beach continues to rebuild stronger and better than before Hurricane Michael ransacked our sleepy fishing village in October 2018, visitors choosing to vacation along this 3-mile paradise are reaping the benefits of progress. Such as with this gem, Beach Fantasies, that was taken to the ground and rebuilt with vacationers in mind to vacation rental perfection. Pre-Michael, Beach Fantasies was a nostalgic beachfront duplex, comfortable but showing its age. Even so, was a very popular choice among new and returning guests to the area.
As a result of the owners’ forward-thinking, we now offer Beach Fantasies A and B. A beachfront property that is still a duplex however, now both identical sides are available to renters booking through Pristine Properties. Each side is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home connected by the exterior decking. If you have a large group looking to stay together but not stay together, you can rent both sides for sleeping arrangements totaling 20 guests. If your party is large but not quite that large, either side is the perfect fit.
Hard to miss, this purple paradise stands directly on the white sand in the heart of Mexico Beach. Down the steps, and you’re on the beach. It really is that easy! This property's thoughtful design and perks will make any vacation one to remember. On the property's exterior, there is ample seating under the house in the grilling area for a cookout beachside. Or, the convenience of the hot/cold outdoor shower at the foot of the stairs makes washing the sand and sunscreen off that much quicker and easier. Once inside, you are welcomed by an enormous, open living area with breathtaking views pouring in from the beachfront windows. The kitchen has lots of open space, so there are never too many cooks in the kitchen, and everyone can laugh and enjoy being together with each room flowing into the other. The grand finale of the first floor is the sizeable beachfront deck just beyond the living room doors. With cable railing, your view is unobstructed as you comfortably dine al fresco. With every detail maximized, you’re bound to have the trip of a lifetime.
Three bedrooms are housed on the second floor, with two highlighted by the beautiful gulf views. The kids can giggle themselves to sleep in the bunk room equipped to sleep 4. The parents can be nearby in the beachfront guest room, connected by a full bath. The third bedroom is a beachfront master with a shower in the master bath designed to wash away any worries. Both master bedrooms open onto the open sundeck lined with cable railing. The fantastic views from the top of this home are visible as far as the eye can see.
Whether you are renting Beach Fantasies A, Beach Fantasies B, or both A and B, you cannot go wrong. This property is a renter’s paradise and truly a Mexico Beach gem. Come any time of the year, and you’re guaranteed a vacation to remember for a lifetime.

This house was perfect for our family vacation. It sits right on the beach and has everything you need to spend a carefree week relaxing at the beach.

Thank you, Michael, for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the location and decor We strive to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and will review our procedures to ensure this is addressed. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon.
This property is fantastic!! We were able to escape from the hustle and bustle of work and crowds and enjoy a beautiful property, on a fantastic beach, in the most quaint little town! We will be back! The property was very clean, well managed and exceed our expectations in every way.
This is one of the nicest places I have staid. Everything was super clean, the sheets on the beds were high quality plenty of extra blankets. Steps from the beach it was so nice no need for a beach cart. I will definitely be back! Great place for a girl’s trip or families with kids to stay super quite nice area
Everything was as shown on the booking. We had no issues. The home was equipped with what we were told so we knew what to bring. I would suggest for the owners sake that a note be made indicating HE detergent is needed for the washer. I did not know so we had to get a different type.

The property was just as listed. It does sit on the main road. You really do not hear the cars but the motorcycles can be alittle loud(I think there was a rally up in panama city). The distance to the beach is perfect. Was amazed at how short the walk was. Plenty of room for our family of 4 adults and 3 children. Nicely decorated, beds were comfortable. We cook alot. Pans were good. Could use a pizza cutter and a better can opener. If you need groceries we find the piggly wiggly in st. joe to be a good place. Prices are comparable to st louis, mo and its only 15-20 mins down the road. We would stay here again next time we come down to the pan handle.

*Great Beach Front Property*
The house is well equipped with everything you will need for a great beach vacation, including a prime location. It's within walking distance to Killer Seafood, Toucan's, MB's Sweets & Treats and the grocery. We arrived on a Saturday and I didn't get back in my car for the entire week. Pristine does a really good job of responding to your needs. When we arrived, the cable, phone, and internet weren't working. In a matter of hours it was fixed. A few upgrades to the house are needed. The shower head in the 2nd bathroom needs to be replaced. The exhaust fan in that bathroom also doesn't work. The sliding glass door going from the master bedroom to the balcony doesn't lock. And the outside shower head coming up from the beach is non-existent. Other than those minor things, which are nowhere near deal breakers, we loved our stay and can't wait to do it again next year.

Living the dream
House was perfect and spoiled me to any future beach vacations. Kitchen was very well supplied and the only thing we wish we had more of was steak knives. Everything was very clean. Our only real wish for our trip was more time.

Great house! Amazing view!
The house was perfect for all 8 of us! Comfy & plenty of space! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook almost every night! The balcony was definitely our favorite place to spend time! And, we even saw dolphins every morning.
Overall, it was a great vacation!
