We loved this little cottage. The beds were too soft for us in both rooms but that is personal preference. There was a coffee pot and all the supplies except coffee. That was a bummer but Exxon was just up the street and close enough to walk there and get a cup of java. We enjoyed our stay. Worth the money.

Our cottage was beautiful and clean - just a few steps away from the white sand beach and clear blue water of Mexico Beach. It had all the amenities of home. Lots of great dining and shopping in the nearby town of Port St. Jo, and even Panama City.

Nice little 2br 2bath. Convenient location to the beach. You could walk to the beach but there is a public parking area right along Hwy 98 within a few hundred yards of the house that you can park in. It's sized just right for a family of 4 or for a couple. It's quiet at night and you can walk to a couple of eateries if you wanted to. Toucans wasn't open yet when we were there but they were about to be. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a small house, but a budget friendly option with convenience to public beaches and restaurants.
