Toucan Escape | Steps to Beach | Gear & Extras

TouCan Escape Steps to Beach, Boat/Fish Dream
DISCOVER the ultimate Gulf Coast where TouCan Escape to this charming, single-level Mexico Beach house, boasting sun-filled interiors and a much-desired location with EXTRAS you’ll appreciate!

PURE bliss awaits inside the cozy, sun-drenched living area while you catch up on your favorite shows from the plush sofa or play board games at the dining table. With ample seating and charming beach decor, everyone can kick back and relax with ease. When mealtime arrives, whip up a delicious dinner in the well-stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances or host a summertime barbecue on the patio. A dedicated beverage fridge keeps cold drinks on hand and saves room in the fridge for family meal provisions. As the sun begins to set and the sky morphs into hues of pink and gold, kick up your feet in one of our comfortable plush chairs with cushioned ottoman on the front porch and relish the great company and swaying palms. Even better, roast marshmallows around the firepit and reminisce about another day in paradise. Great thought has been given to provide you the ultimate experience while relaxing and enjoying time with those that are special to you.

PERFECT for snowbirds looking to escape the winter weather and ideally situated, you’ll find the shore just a block away for swimming, boating, fishing, and beachside fun. Additionally, this home features boat parking and a fish-cleaning station, perfect for your return from a day of water adventures. You’ll also find Under the Palms Park and Lowkey Charters both within three miles.

LAUNDRY is made easy with a washer & dryer, detergent, dryer sheets and an iron/board & steamer.

KILLER'S Seafood is a favorite and located just a block (walking distance) on Hwy 98. Eat there or bring back and eat on our deck which offers comfortable Erwin & Sons Patio Furniture. You can enjoy a to-go meal or cook your own on an outdoor grill.

COMING back in 2025 is Toucan's on the Beach (hence the play off of words for our beach house name) that was destroyed in the 2018 Hurricane Michael. This was THE place to go before and this little Beach Town is looking forward to it opening again!! This too will be within walking distance of our Beach Home!

THINKING ahead, the last thing you want to pack for your beach trip are those bulky beach necessities, so you can use ours! We have beach chairs & towels, a Swig Cooler, Crestwalker beach cart, portable indoor/outdoor Bluetooth speaker and of course our NEW & awesome Shibumi beach shade! (so easy to set up) We love the beach at night, so you'll find turtle-safe red-beam flashlights to enjoy on your strolls! Hope you get to experience them while here!

OUR mission is to provide an up-scale, well maintained home with over-the-top furnishings for your comfort, taste and convenience. We pray that you will enjoy our Beach House and Mexico Beach as much as we do and that you take home memories that will last a lifetime with the desire to return to us again. We want to leave the kind of lasting impression that you run home and tell your family & friends all about TOUCAN ESCAPE!!

Perfect Beach Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed at the coziest house just a few minutes away from the beach, and it was such a relaxing experience. The house had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay with the family—everything from a well-equipped kitchen to comfy beds and a spacious living area. It truly felt like a home away from home. I’ll definitely recommend Toucan Escape to my friends and plan to stay there again in the future!
