"Dock, Relax, and Unwind at Waterside Retreat!"
Waterside Retreat is the perfect place for vacation. It is located right on the Mexico Beach Canal, which offers a wide range of water activities such as fishing, boating, and kayaking. The canal is a popular tourist destination located on the Gulf of Mexico, and it provides easy access to the gulf.
This townhouse has three bedrooms and is spread over two floors. There are canal front decks on both levels, and covered parking and an additional half bath on the ground floor underneath. The bonus room with two single beds will be perfect for kids or single guests. The townhouse can accommodate eight guests comfortably, with one bedroom on the main level, the bonus room, and two additional guest rooms on the second floor. The house is decorated in a modern coastal theme throughout.
Waterside Retreat also has a private boat wet slip for boating enthusiasts who plan to trailer their boat along. An open sundeck with outdoor dining overlooks the canal and offers a beautiful view where you can watch the fishermen unload their catch at the end of the day. For those who prefer to enjoy the shoreline, Mexico Beach is just a short walk away. The beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area.
In addition to these activities, there are several restaurants and cafes located near the canal, serving fresh seafood and other delicious dishes. Waterside Retreat is surrounded by beautiful beaches, where visitors can relax, sunbathe, and swim in the clear waters of the Gulf.
Overall, Mexico Beach Canal is a great place to visit for those who love fishing, boating, kayaking, and beach activities. With its stunning views, calm waters, and friendly atmosphere, it's a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Florida's Gulf Coast.

The unit was very clean and easily accessible. The boat lift is broken and was blocking the dock entrance.
