About this property
Cutest cottage across from the beach!
Hurricane Michael washed away the original Pickels Paradise on the beach but this beautiful place just down the street survived the category 5 storm and is newly renovated and beautifully updated. It is a 1 bedroom with a queen bed and a set of built in bunk beds, 1 bath. Cozy open living room and kitchen with french doors to private patio and outdoor dining area with beautiful palm trees perfect for a hammock. Just a short walk across Hwy 98 to the dedicated beach! Enjoy the ocean breeze and splashing waves as you watch the sunset. Pets, bonfires and the relaxing beverage of your choice are all allowed on the beach. Bonus outdoor enclosed shower with hot water to wash all the sand from the beach away! Also it is very close and you only need to walk just one block to eat at Shipwreck restaurant! Come make unforgettable memories here!

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Pickels
A long time resident of Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe who moved to area in the 1990’s to raise children in this place they call ”Mayberry on the beach “. Many flock to vacation here for this very reason. A lovely small town with the best uncrowned beaches and sunsets and an unhurried lifestyle that lets you slow down enough to really enjoy it!
