Watershed Cottage was exactly as described in the listing. The home was clean, comfortable, and in a great location—just one block from the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted.One of our favorite features was that the cottage is all on one level, making it very convenient and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway.The pool was also a nice bonus. It wasn’t too big or too small—just the right size for cooling off and enjoying some time outside. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend Watershed Cottage to others looking for a relaxing beach vacation.

Great House!

We have stayed at many houses at many different beaches, from 30A to Cape San Blas. This was by far one of our favorite houses we have stayed it. Just the little details the owners had to make it a great stay with our two younger kids and little Yorkie. Short walk to the beach and added bonus having a nice pool. Can't wait to stay here again!

Home away from home

This was a great place for my family to stay for the week. The house was close enough to the beach (with public beach access)to walk in 5 minutes and near many restaurants. Our visit to Mexico Beach was a good one, in part because the house was clean, and had everything needed for us.
