Need a relaxing vacation? Then you will all enjoy the sugar white sands and emerald green waters of Mexico Beach. Called the "Forgotten Coast" Mexico Beach and the surrounding area is reminiscent of Old Florida. Spend the day lounging on the beach, go deep sea fishing or scalloping in season, then return for an outside shower fix yourself a cool drink and enjoy the gorgeous sunset views from the screened porch or deck. There's nothing more tranquil than the roll of the surf.
Our home sits on a bluff across the street from the Gulf of Mexico. There are no homes on the beach so you have 180 degree view all the time. Just walk straight across Highway 98 to the beach that sometimes is almost deserted. Even on holiday weekends the beaches are not crowded. Pick up shrimp from the "Old Captain" a few blocks east,who sells it right out of his front yard and bring it back to cook on the expansive shaded porch under the house. We even have a TV on the porch so the men won't miss any sports while they are cooking.
We purchased Sassy Mermaid so our family would have a getaway from the demanding real estate business in Destin. When I get grumpy they all say, "Mom, when was the last time you went to Mexico Beach?" A nice way of saying, go take a break. Both my children have spent their honeymoons here and as you can see by my last picture, we also have a baby grandaughter, Lili who loves the beach now. There are all the comforts of home here. We decorated it in a Shabby Chic, Ralph Lauren sort of way; so you can be comfortable and not worry about sand and wet bathing suits. Bring your boat, kayaks and water toys. There is plenty of room to park them under the house.
The Gulf of Mexico is very calm here, no undertows to have to watch out for. Children can swim and enjoy shelling without you having to worry for their safety. Take a ride out to Cape San Blas to the State Park and enjoy miles of untouched beaches, go golfing nearby, ride horses on the beach at Indian Pass, eat at the local restaurants and if you get too sunburned go shopping in Appalachicola one of the most quaint cities in Florida.
My girlfriends and I are addicted to two shops down there, Avenue E and Blue. If you love antiques mixed with art, gifts and the latest in accessories, these shops are the best. The men can sit outside on the bench or go eat oysters down the street while you browse.
Fall is one of the greatest times in Mexico Beach as the shells start rolling in. Collect enough to make your own shell mirror to take home. Well if I haven't convinced you yet that this is "Paradise" just give me a call for more information or book your family vacation now. Ask about our August Specials.

Stayed here with two couples and four kids. Plenty of space. Loved the outdoor TV and comfortable chairs downstairs under the shade. Stayed out there for hours. The breeze from the ocean was perfect and comfortable. Great view of the sunset every night. We will definitely be going back.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.
Best vacation ever!

We stayed in this rental in 2009 and I absolutely love Mexico Beach and this beach house. I can't wait to come back. I have always stayed in PCB for my vacations to FL in the past and was so happy to find Mexico Beach. It was so nice and quiet. This house was great for a relaxing vacation. The beach wasn't crowded at all. I highly recommend this one. Make sure to stop at Walmart before you get to Mexico Beach and stock up for your stay. The house has everything you'll need for cooking etc. There aren't too many stores or restaurants that we found so having a stocked kitchen was important. Have fun!
