Adorable Cottage with Pool Minutes from Beach!

Welcome to our cozy, relaxing home perfect for making beach vacation memories that will last a lifetime! Our newly renovated beach home is just a few blocks from the pristine, quiet beaches of the forgotten coast. After enjoying the warm, white sand and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico, rinse off in the pool, relax on one of the two porches, gather around the outdoor fireplace, and prepare dinner on the BBQ grill.

Every aspect of this home has been remodeled to create the perfect oasis for a relaxing beach vacation for you and your family.

While the home is equipped to host 6 people, we think the perfect group size is 4-5. We are happy to host all 6, but keep in mind it will be a little cozier.

Sure, eating at fancy restaurants can be fun, but sometimes we all want to have a nice home-cooked meal, right? That’s why our kitchen is fully stocked with the essentials you’ll need to cook a nice meal. In addition, there is access to an outdoor grill on the property!

Other notable indoor amenities include free WiFi, washer/dryer, and smart TVs in both bedrooms and living room.

Our vacation.

The property was just as expected. Clean, comfortable, near the beach. Unfortunately we had to leave after only 2 nights because of an injury. The Host was gracious and extended their concern. I loved the quiet serene atmosphere of this property.

Best Spring Break Ever

The house is absolutely beautiful. It’s super close to the beach and is well worth it! The host was easy to communicate with and very friendly. If you have to stay somewhere in the Mexico Beach/ Port St. Joe area, this is the place. There were 4 people in our party and there was plenty of room for everyone.

Absolutely awesome place!!

We have stayed in several MB homes and this cottage is one of our favorites! Its extremely clean, very well equipped, on a very quiet side strret, and only a short walk to the beach. The property manager was very quick to respond to any questions we had, from before we booked it and throughout our visit. We will be booking this one again!

Spring Break

My friends and I loved our spring break trip to this adorable cottage. We are college students and wanted to find something affordable that was a short walk to the beach. This home was perfect! Our favorite part was sitting on the porch to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Family weekly stay

The cottage is very cozy and welcoming. The kids loved the pool. As a family We liked the fire pit to make s’more‘s at the end of a busy day. The host has wonderful communication if there’s any issues, the cottage is in a very quiet neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

Clean, comfortable beds & good location

This was our first time to stay in the Mexico Beach area and this was a great location. My sister and her daughter met me and my daughter for quick girls trip. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. While small, everything was there that we needed. With it being just us girls, sharing a bathroom was not an issue. The water pressure was good and hot. We walked to the beach a couple of times and drove to Port San Blast one day (to the State Park - which was very nice). Plan your grocery shopping before you get there. The Piggly Wiggly is great and a 10 min drive away. There was a Dollar General Market Place also for those last minute items you may have forgotten. On our way in, we met at a local Pizza Pub and enjoyed waiting to check in to our rental. We ate at one of the local seafood restaurants Sunday night and it was crowded but tasty. We had one hiccup with the plumbing but the host sent a plumber out Sunday morning before we headed to the beach for the day. So it all worked out. Small great place to stay!

Cute house and good location

The cottage was super cute and the location was great. We booked this house for our girls weekend because of the pool. Unfortunately the ladder was in very bad condition and we could not access the pool. We booked the house over a month in advance. It looked like the ladder had been on its last leg for months. Overall we liked the house but was disappointed to not be able to use the pool. We did contact the property manager and he was unable to have the ladder replaced during our stay.

Perfect Place for Our Little Family Vacation

Our 4 and 5 year old grandsons did not want to leave! When they weren't fishing or playing on the beach, they played in the pool, and on both porches with their toys. We were looking forward to roasting marshmallows on the fire pit, but never found the time. However, they did enjoy the sidewalk chalk provided to draw on the cement around the fire pit! Everything needed to cook in the kitchen was also provided. We thoroughly enjoyed your home away from home and look forward to coming back.

Book this place!

This was a great stay for my family of four, 5 and 8 year old kids. The pool was perfect to take a break from the beach or end a long day. All the small things we needed, towels, cooking utensils, keurig machine, were provided. You never know what’s going to be at your location but the extras really sent this place over the top. I.e. dryer sheets, small dish soap, k-cups!, extra trash bag, etc. I would recommend this property to anyone I knew. Few blocks to the beach next to plenty of pull offs. Location never felt crowded or looked upon from neighbors, and my kids are loud and wild. We spent most of our time on the porches or in the pool, but the inside was comfy as well. I had a couple questions for the owner I sent at night and they got back to me the next morning early. All in all great experience and hope to be back soon!!
