The perfect place to stay with a small family or group of friends. The place was very clean, had plenty of space and had most of what we needed (cleaning, cooking supplies and toiletries) The beach was just steps away.

The place was perfect! Very clean, up dated and efficient. Short walk to the powder sand beaches. All the quiet little part of Florida!! Absolutely perfect. We definitely will be back.

This unit is in great shape and very nice. Honestly was nicer than the pictures. Maybe have instructions on how to use the nest . No pool. But we had friends that had a pool to use. But overall very nice place.

We are so glad you enjoyed yourself at Pelican Perch! It's so close to the beach and stores. Thank you for being an awesome guest, and we hope you will return.
The house is exactly as shown in the pictures. The beach is a short walk away. The provided wagon made the walk easy. The provided umbrella helped protect the baby from the sun. The beach was not crowded (our goal since COVID is still a thing). Overall Wonderful Vacation!

Thank you for your kind comments and positive review! We are so happy you enjoyed your time in Mexico Beach at Pelican Perch. This home is so cozy and beautifully decorated and packed full of amenities. We look forward to a return visit and the opportunity to host you again soon. It was our pleasure.
Loved the location. Very laid back and chill. Lights in laundry room not working. No instructions with TV. We are seniors, a little instruction sheet would be helpful since it's not cable TV. Really enjoyed our stay here.

Thank you Patrice for your kind words and positive review. We are working on TV instructions for each of our homes so thanks for this recommendation. We look forward to the opportunity to host you again soon.
We all enjoyed our stay. The condo was nicely decorated with high quality sheets and good beds. The beach was not too crowded and the walk was easy. We usually stay along 30-A but the private beach signs and the crowds have driven us farther east. Mexico beach was a big hit. One thing I would recommend about the condo is it could use a few more kitchen utensils. I bought a cheese grater and left it there. It could use a working cork screw. Thanks you so much for offering your home.

I had seen Mexico Beach on the map before, but usually ended up staying in a more populated location.
The check-in was a breeze! No driving around for hours trying to find some hole in a wall place to pick up a key and directions. We parked, put in the door code, and unpacked.
The walk to the beach was a breeze, no roads to cross. The location is a bit secluded so lots of privacy. No worry about crowds with tents as soon as you wake up. The cart included with the condo was a major help hauling stuff down to the beach.
The condo was very clean, loved the decorations! The outdoor patio was nice, ended up using the grill once. There's a store across the street with lots of fishing gear and food/drinks. Beside that is a gift shop that steams various seafood items.
Looking forward to staying here again, 5/5!

Wow! Thank you for the glowing review. We are thrilled you enjoyed your time in Mexico Beach at Pelican Perch. This home is indeed beautifully decorated, private, quiet and quaint! We look forward to a return visit and future stay with us! It was our pleasure hosting you.
Pros:
GREAT location—The location of this condo sets it apart for sure! Beach is a very close/short walk and Mexico Beach is beautiful!
Condo was laid out well for our group of 2 families with teenage boys.
Beds were comfortable and nice size.
beach wagon, umbrellas, and a couple of chairs provided (although we had our own chairs)
Check in was easy
Communication was great when we had some internet/wifi issues
Cons:
A/C is apparently controlled remotely and 76 and up is just too warm especially in the bedroom/bathrooms upstairs during summer months.
Supplies were a little thin (I know normally at a condo we are supposed to bring our own but one very thin roll of paper towels and one dish towel make it a little hard). No coffee filters. I don’t recall seeing a list of items supplied or things we should bring.
Router box was a little difficult to find when we needed to.
No remote that we could find for upstairs back bedroom (parents wanted to retire to rooms before the teenagers did)
Outside shower head was working properly which made it hard to clean sand off before entering condo.
Wasn’t sure how or if we should go through neighbors back patios to get to ours but weeds were also very grown up, so it would have been difficult.
The dryer took several times for a smaller load so that might be something that needs to be checked into.
We had a wonderful stay overall with just a few things that I felt would be good to check. Would recommend to others.

The Place We Come Back to Every Year
We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful beach townhome! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared. The home itself is absolutely stunning—bright, spacious, and perfectly decorated to create a relaxing coastal vibe.
The location couldn't have been better—just a short walk to the beach, with easy access to great restaurants and local spots.
Every detail was taken care of, from the comfortable beds to the well-stocked kitchen and all the little extras that made our stay feel effortless and special. It truly felt like a home away from home.
This has quickly become an annual trip for us, and we are already looking forward to coming back again next year! We are so grateful for the hospitality and care that went into making our stay so memorable. Highly, highly recommend!
