This vacation rental is the perfect location! Easy check-in process, host very responsive and pleasant. The place was spotless, very comfortable beds and to say "fully stocked" is an understatement. The host has everything you could possibly need. Easy beach access, all the beach accessories you could ever need. I will definitely be booking this rental again!!!

Perfect location and so clean and comfy! It was exactly as described and “fully stocked” exceeded our expectations. Robin, the host, is also a great communicator. All you need for this place is your swimsuit! We cannot recommend it enough, and we will be back!

Robin has made this place feel more like you're staying with family rather than a rental. Beds are super comfortable, everything is clean and the location absolutely can't be beat. This was our second time staying at Sea Shanty and it definitely won't be our last!

Right on the beach with a well stocked home away from home
Family of 6 enjoyed our stay with the biggest benefit of being right on the beach followed closely behind with the feeling of a home away from home since the location was stocked!

About the host
Hosted by Robin McKenzie
Working hard and spending time with our three kids and six grandchildren is our life! Sea Shanty is the perfect spot for some downtime to make wonderful memories with our family and friends. It's our hope that guests will do the same!
Why they chose this property
Our family began visiting Mexico Beach a couple years before Hurricane Michael destroyed the original property. We loved the location so much that the opportunity to become an owner was a dream come true. There's a peacefulness about the location that is so inviting. It's our favorite spot and we hope it becomes yours too!
What makes this property unique
The two lane, no red light, peaceful little town of Mexico Beach built back strong and was not only voted Garden & Guns' Best Beach in 2021, but was just named one of Travel & Leisure Magazine's Top Destinations for 2022! World Atlas also named Mexico Beach one of Panhandle's best small towns for a weekend getaway! There's a peaceful easy feeling here and the convenience of walking right onto the beach makes vacationing at Sea Shanty so pleasant. A gorgeous gulf view and the sound of waves on every level are the perfect setting to unwind, relax, and be refreshed!
