Hosted by Kim deRoos
My name is Kim! I love beaches, sunsets and time away with my husband, kids and grandkids! We have traveled to FL beaches FOR years and 2024, we found Mexico Beach, FL and LOVED it SO much that we contracted on this home! We find that we stay in larger homes to enjoy the nicer things, so we wanted to have a small home with a BIG coastal charm & of course, the nicer things! My husband came up with the name TouCan Escape (where two can escape their busy life) That was us!! Our little Escape Haven @ the beach!
Why they chose this property
We visited The Forgotten Coast for the first time 10/2024 and fell in love with how quiet the area was and during that week stay, we bought our first Beach House with ZERO regrets. We decided to share our home away from home with you and provide to you ALL the things that we loved about vacationing with no stress. When visiting the beach before, we always had to fly and enjoyed a place with amenities so our packing was just clothes. We wanted to provide the same for you as our guest knowing you would appreciate the extras just like we did!
What makes this property unique
Our home is beautiful, inside and out! Amenities galore and just steps to the beach but yet when you return, it's ALL yours. You're not having to share space, hear noise or people talking above and beside you like condo life. You have the whole place to yourself with few homes on our street and the porch is a added perk for watching sunrises and hearing the waves crash on the shoreline ~ Easy walk to the beach to enjoy little foot traffic as we are not around any huge condos or hotels.
