Nice, but older property
My stay was pleasant. The property and house is smaller than I anticipated but that's ok. The one main bath in the house is very small. I ate out mostly so didn't use the kitchen. It was good for me and my dogs for the two nights I stayed there.

Nice old beach cottage.
Classic old beach cottage. Nothing fancy but gets the job done. Note, there are no locks on the bedrooms. The outdoor shower is probably the best amenity. The property management is great! The AC went out and they had someone there immediately and communicated with us promptly.

The litttle house was cute but really needs some upgrades. The air would not cool the whole house so I used a fan i found in closet. Ceiliing fans would be a good idea and would help cool the house. The hot water would cut off during a shower, then had to wait for it to get hot again. No dresser in master bedroom. That was not an issue for me since I was alone but it could be for more than one traveler. The TV was hit and miss. No major networks and Netflix worked and then it didn't. The location was great and convenient,A large group might want a dishwasher. Not an issue for me since I never use one even at home.

Needs some TLC
When we first arrived, there was trash in the driveway, bottles and empty packs of sunflower seeds. We entered the house easily with the code and everything seemed to check out as identifid in the booking but I did notice the Queen bed had a slant to it. As we unpacked, we started to smell this awful scent, and looked for the culprit. It was a full kitchen trash can under the enclosed area with what I believe to be the last guest trash and dog waste. We also noticed a bed egg crate with the sheets still on it in the enclosed area. As we explored the house and the outside area, the fenced in area was entirely enclosed (which I was grateful for) but there was cracked egg shells thrown right off the back porch into the yard. Dirty tongs were also still on the grill from previous user. Later that evening, I got into the shower to find a good size crack on floor of the shower and the shower flooring was very flimsy and felt like you could go through it. Also dealt with the hot water going out and having to shut the cold water off until it got hot again. All of our showers afterwards were completed in the outdoor shower which we did love and didnt have to worry about hot or cold issues. I really wanted to love this place because it was cute and location was reasonable but there were alot of small issues that cleaning and some tlc to the property could have made for a great stay.

An oldie but goody
The decor was great for antique lovers: very unique. All appliances were in working order, the furnace, air conditioning were good. The lighting at the entry was terrible, making the steps very dangerous and the entry lock not visible in the dark. There was a shortage of linens. It was an easy walk to the beach which we enjoyed very much.

Disappointed
We loved the area! Very disappointed with the property. We were given the wrong code to open the door, finally we were sent their administrator code,The grass was knee high in the back. Hot water heater cycled on and off. Kept thermostat at 72 degrees, hot for sleeping in the bedroom. Just preheating the oven, caused the smoke alarm to go off. Outside trash receptacle was packed when we got there. The pictures of the property were very deceiving.

Wonderful home, yard, and location!
Couldn't speak highly enough about this place and the location. The house was perfect, the dogs loved the fenced in back yard, and the neighborhood was very quiet and safe feeling. Amazingly close to the beach access!! I highly recommend this place, I will certainly be back. Thanks!

Beach Bungalow Mexico beach
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The setting was clean, tidy , comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Was very pleased, except for lack of continuity of hot water for showers.had mostly cool showers. That was one of 2 issues . The step down& up into the laundry room area., not marked. YELLOW OR ORANGE caution tape placed on the threshold . Would help prevent falls. We had to leave the light on in the foyer to remind us that the step was there as we all stumbled on it! Your cottage is lovely. Your interior decorations were unique and enjoyed. Really liked the beach theme, and the way the decor used vintage furniture and utensils. Although only one side of the toaster worked. Your facility is close to an excellent hospital. Your next door neighbors were very welcoming 😀 Even the raccoons across the street were friendly.

Mexico Beach is a gem of a town and what a perfect home to return from the beach to each day. Had all the amenities we needed! Especially enjoyed eating dinner at the outdoor dining table. 10/10! Recommend!
