We had such a wonderful stay at this beach house! The weather couldn’t have been better, and the private pool was absolutely perfect for relaxing and cooling off. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, with a big fridge that made it easy to keep everything stocked for our family. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and fun getaway. It was the perfect spot for a family vacation, and we’d definitely love to come back!

The house is very comfortable and amenities like the elevator, heated pool, beachfront and the daily sunsets by the beach were the highlight of our trip. Our family of 7 had a fantastic time. Book it!! You will enjoy this home. Minor recommendations. It would have been nice to have a light by the bbq station. Once it gets dark, it was challenging to continue the bbq in the 1st floor. The rug in the living room might need an upgrade, it looked a bit worn out. But overrall I highly recomend this beatiful beachfront home.Thank you!

What a great way to celebrate and the New Year!

We had a wonderful experience!! Our family had so much to enjoy: the beautiful beach, heated pool, spacious rooms, quaint shops and the most amazing thing was to have an elevator to take you to your floor. We all made such great memories together. We highly recommend this house and property manager if you're looking for a relaxing and hassle free vacation. Cheers!

Very Dirty House.

This was the dirtiest house we have ever stayed in. The pictures make it look beautiful. The ceiling in the living room has a whole in it, fixtures have fallen off the walls and were never put back, mold in 2 of the showers and toilets, dust all over the walls that is very visible. The rats that live in the dunes ran on to our pool deck and chewed a pair of flip flops. There is a lot of improvements that can be made to this property. We didn’t call the realtor because we were on vacation and didn’t want to be bothered with people in the house when all of this should have been taken care of before we checked in. We were very disappointed with this property!!

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept 2023
Thank you for your review, however, we respectfully disagree with your review. If it was truly the dirtiest house that you have stayed in there's no way that you would wait until after check-out to let us know. We would've been happy to send someone by to take care of any issues immediately. This is like ordering dinner at a restaurant, eating it all and then complaining about it after you leave. This guest left behind more than usual trash, sand, dirty dishes and food that we had to clean up at no extra charge. This guest also left food outside on the ground level pool deck. If you leave food outside overnight the wildlife will find it. There are no rats living in the beach dunes per the pest control company that we dispatched just to be safe. The ceiling repair and toilet paper holder has been repaired since this review. The house has also been deep cleaned since this review. Please see all of the other reviews from happy guests that have stayed and thought the house was perfect.

First trip to Mexico Beach

This was our yearly family vacation. The elevator was great for bringing in supplies and getting our elderly mother from floor to floor. The kitchen was well stocked and we utilized it daily. When the weather cooled they turned the heat up in the pool. We had good fishing, nice bonfires and great stargazing. The rental company were quick to respond to anything we needed.

Wonderful house

This was such a great house right on the beach. The house had everything we needed and then some. We got to see dolphins every single day! When everyone had cleared from the water, we even saw sting rays when walking along the shore. Such a fun time for ours kids. The covered pool was amazing when we wanted to escape the sun for a while. The kitchen in this house was absolutely amazing. We will 100% try to get this house again when we vacation in the area!
