We rented this gorgeous beach front home to spend a week in town for a family wedding held nearby. Everything in the home felt new, clean and inviting. The decor was tastefully simple, beautiful and upscale, just like a home you would see featured in a magazine. The pictures on the website did not disappoint. It was a lovely.
Check in and check out was very simple. A previous review mentioned there was not enough fridge space so we brought extra coolers but they were not necessary because the property owners have since added an additional fridge in the garage which we put to good use.
I do wish the pool had been heated. We arrived late March/early April and it was still way too cold to be able to use that amenity.. We had also planned to cookout on the grill and have dinner on the deck one evening but the grill was filthy and the lighting on the deck was so dim we could not see well enough to cook or eat that even so we wound up having to cook the burgers in the oven. Those were the only real downsides we had during our stay. One other thing to note, Mexico Beach is very close to the line where you cross over from Eastern Standard Time to the Central Time zone, so if you planning on going to dinner or an event in the Port St. Joe area, just be aware of the time difference.
One other plus to note….during our stay a line of very severe storms came through our area along with a few gale force winds and a tornado warning was issued. We wound up taking shelter in our vehicles that were parked in the garage. With the home being a new build and having all the updated hurricane reinforced building code requirements we felt extremely safe. The garage door had super strong reinforced steel beams so it was nice to have that available in that rare instance. Fortunately there was no tornado near us but it made for an exciting way to start our morning.
We very much enjoyed our stay and would love to return in the future. We highly recommend this vacation home.
