Our cottage was beautiful and clean - just a few steps away from the white sand beach and clear blue water of Mexico Beach. It had all the amenities of home. Lots of great dining and shopping in the nearby town of Port St. Jo, and even Panama City.

This was our 3rd stay in Mexico Beach, and this rental, by far, was the best place we stayed at. Virtually a new cottage less than a 3 minute walk to the calm waters of Mexico Beach. Very close to shopping and food. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone that’s planning on staying in the area.
