Perfect location and house!

They owners were great and gave us a list of food and stores nearby before we arrived. The house is a short walk to the beach and we saw manatees in the canal behind the house. They had 6 beach towels and tons of chairs, umbrellas and beach toys! The house was perfect! Will definitely go back!

Wonderful house/host

We just headed home from our stay at this location. The hosts were wonderful and responsive! The house itself was perfect for our group which included teenagers! We received a great info sheet via email which included closing times of local eateries and stores. This was very helpful as the town is not like an all night everything open kind of beach town. I would absolutely recommend this host/location!

Excellent Home away from Home

This was our first trip to Mexico Beach but most certainly wont be our last. The quietness and emptiness of the beach was wonderful. Our stay was great. Home could have been a little cleaner but other than that the Owners are exceptional. They responded very quickly to our messages and handled things right away! We will def stay here again!

Short walk to the beach

This was our first time visiting Mexico Beach, we will 100% return! Great house and location within walking distance to beach, restaurants and shops. All the essentials were onsite- beach cart, towels, chairs, toys, etc! There was plenty of room for our family of six to spread out. Would absolutely consider re-booking in the future.

Perfect place

This is our second year coming and staying here! We love the house and Mexico Beach. The house has everything you need (in the kitchen, space, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc), plenty of room and beautiful. Love the location away from the crowded beaches. Very low key. 1-2 min walk across street to the beautiful quiet beach . Great balconies and deck. 15 minutes drive to Port St Joes with restaurants and grocery. Food trucks walking distance and rental bikes, etc across the street. Owners are very responsive and helpful! Will definitely return again. We love it here.

Great Location

This was our second year staying at Mexico Beach. While we didn’t stay at this exact house last time we stayed in this community. Very easy access to both pool and beach. They have redone most of the boardwalk so that was nice to see this year. There are still some spots to watch out for. The house was equipped with everything we needed! There were some things that needed addressed but the communication with the owners was amazing and they were very quick to reply. I would definitely recommend this house and location to anyone!

Perfect spot for a quiet vacation

We loved staying at Waterside Village! The house was big enough for 8 of us to stay comfortably, and had some many conveniences that were above and beyond any other rental we've stayed at. We love to cook a lot of our meals and the kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pans and tools, and the grill was big enough for us to cook enough for our group. The location was a short walk to the beach, which is where we spent most of our time. The area itself is pretty quiet, which makes the beach less crowded. While there wasn't a lot nearby for shopping/dining, we took advantage of the local fish store (Shell Shack) or taco truck (La Brasitas) down the road, and got ice cream a short walk from the front door. We drove to Port St. Joe (10 mins) for groceries and a gym, but we liked that when we were at the house the area wasn't overloaded with other tourists, like neighboring Panama City Beach. Also, Mike and Tracy were very helpful when we needed to reach them. We would definitely stay there again.

Great location for outdoor lovers.

This was such a pleasant experience. The home was as described. The kitchen is so well stocked. The location is wonderfully close to the beach. Unfortunately Mother Nature didn’t cooperate with us so we stayed indoors for the majority of our stay. Fortunately there were games to play, movies to be watched, books and magazines to be read and naps to enjoy. I highly recommend this location during good weather for those who like to walk the beach, walk down the street to a few small local shops and restaurants. If you want to go to a movie or the mall you will have to travel about 30 minutes. It’s not horrible but it is necessary. We enjoyed a nice meal in Port Saint Joe one afternoon and some shopping in Panama City another day. Book with confidence as this home has lots to offer and a great owner to work with. Thank you Michael!

Perfect location in Mexico Beach!

Would highly recommend this property. Really like the direct communication with the property owners and they are very responsive. This is a perfect house for a family as everyone can have their own space when desired. The house presents exactly as the pictures indicate. Kitchen is small but very well stocked— we cooked most meals and lacked for nothing. Comfy living space with nice large TV and access to multiple streaming services. Also a few games available. Nice garage with a large selection of beach chairs, toys, and a terrific buggy to carry everything over to the beach. Bedrooms were comfortable and like the 4th BR option with the 3rd floor loft. The complex itself is well maintained and the house overlooks a canal with boats-very pretty. You are about 1 block from the beach and it’s very easy access. Grandkids aged 6 and 4 had no trouble with the walk. The beach is just the best anywhere in my opinion and it was very quiet and lovely in Oct. If you are looking for a lot of restaurants, activity, tourist types of things, Mexico beach is probably not for you. If you like peace, pristine beaches, and great accommodations then this place is for you.

Property was just as the listing described. I would have rated 5 stars in all areas however the boardwalk to the pool was in horrible condition with almost the entire walk way having rotten boards, several with holes in them and we were not comfortable using it. The only other issue was the door keypad on our last night stopped working. We just used the side door and tge garage door at that point. The owner was quick to respond to the issue but since it was our last night we it was not a huge concern. Overall great home, beach was quiet and less touristy which we loved.

About the host

Hosted by Vicci Lefort

Host profile image
Vicci loves the beach and Mike loves the mountains. Thus, we have the best of both worlds with the mountain house in NC and the beach home in FL. Our Cottage was purchased in 2012 and we enjoy spending the winters in Florida. We also love to travel and have traveled to many tropical locations - Fiji, Maldives, Rarotonga, Hawaii, Belize, BVI's, Greece, Guam, St. Croix, St Martin, St. Barth's, Guadeloupe and Bora Bora. In summary, we love the sunshine, beaches, sailing and scuba diving and are happy to share the beautiful area of Mexico Beach and the Forgotten Coast with you in our Waterside Cottage.

Why they chose this property

Mexico Beach and the Forgotten Coast area are known mostly for being family oriented and having beautiful, uncrowded, white sand beaches. The beach is a short one block away. The other popular thing to do in Mexico Beach is sport fishing. The Cottage is located right on the canal and include day docks for overnight parking of your fishing boat. You can walk right out the back door, hop in your boat and cruise out the inlet into the ocean. The Waterside Village community includes a large swimming pool and a hot tub for cooling off and relaxing at the end of your day.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location!! In less than five minutes walking from the front door you can feel sand between your toes, cross the street to Mango Marley's for a cold beach drink, hop in your boat, stop for bait at the Marina and cruise right out into to the ocean, or refresh yourself with a cool dip in the pool. Mexico Beach is centrally located. You can head east for an outings and restaurants in Port St. Joe, Cape San Blas, St George, St Vincent or Apalachicola or west into St. Andrews or Panama City. With access to all of these locations, you'll have plenty to do and see or you can do nothing at all and lounge on the beach.
