Further details for this vacation house rental in Mexico Beach, Florida

The seafood here is great with several restaurants to choose.

You can't see the ocean from my home but you can HEAR it! Do not have to pay for the view either.

Apalachicola is only a 35 minute drive. It has many quaint shops including two on Avenue E and Blue. If you love antiques mixed with art, gifts and trendy accessories, these shops are for you. The men can sit outside on a bench or go eat oysters and sip their favorite beverage as you shop.

Tyndall air force base is 15 miles away so you are sure to see jets if you stay the week.

Come to the beaches to relax with your favorite book or pursue one of many recreational activities the area has to offer. This area is referred to as the forgotten coast as it is unspoiled like Old Florida free of heavy commercialization. Discover the forgotten coast before it becomes discovered by big business and high rise hotels.

The Cape San Blas lighthouse is located approximately 5 miles before St. Joseph Peninsula State Park on highway SR30E. Pet polidy at state park is - Pets are not allowed in camping areas, on bathing beaches, in concession areas and may be restricted in other designated areas of the park. Where pets are allowed, they must be kept on a six-foot, hand-held leash and well-behaved at all times. Service dogs are welcome in all areas of the parks.

St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, in Franklin County, Florida, is an undeveloped barrier island just offshore from the mouth of the Apalachicola River, in the Gulf of Mexico.

Come stay with us for the Port St. Joe Scallop Festival in August or the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association Annual King Mackeral Fishing Tournament in late August.

Another Mexico Beach event is the Mexico Beach Art and Wine Festival in October.

Great place on the panhandle for family and friends to enjoy the beach and wonderful sunshine.

You must be 23 to rent this home. There may be exceptions to responsible people.

If you are a scuba diver, off Mexico Beach is the wreck of the Empire Mica, a British tanker sunk in 1942 by a U-boat.

A GREAT HOME AWAY FROM HOME EXPERIENCE!!!

Review Submitted: March 24, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
We throughly enjoyed our weeks stay here. As a family of 6 there was plenty of room and all the comforts of home. Mark went above and beyond to make sure everything for taken care of. From the simple things like dish soap to having a VERY CLEAN and organized home. I would definitely recommend this home away from home. We are already planning another trip.
My kids really enjoyed their spring break here.

Owner's Response: The vacation home is not be lavishly landscaped yet, but I take pride in providing a clean, affordable getaway for families, couples or individuals. My hope is families will leave Mexico Beach with lifelong memories waiting to be reminisced at the next family reunion.

Best Vacation EVER!

Review Submitted: January 30, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
This was the best. Mark has gone above and beyond to provide an affordable holiday home. We spent one month here and it was wonderful. First, IT WAS SOOOO CLEAN! Thank you, Faye! Mark has provided almost everything you need. From basic soaps to movies and games it is fully stocked. Beaches were empty and dog friendly. Mark even provided "pick up bags". The neighborhood is very quiet. Some days in January are very cool, so we spent a lot of time in the home. It was great. Great parks to walk the dogs. Appliances are great and that big tub to soak in was GREAT! Can't say enough good things. Suncoast Grill has fabulous food. The Mexican "Peppers" restaurant was wonderful...Tucan's shrimp was yummy...bought fresh seafood and cooked at home. Just a great time. Thank you, Mark. And thanks to Faye for keeping us informed of local activities. Apalachicola was really fun too and interesting.

Review Submitted: December 31, 2011 Date of Stay: December 2011
We had a wonderful time on our vacation. Marks house was extremely well stocked and I mean well stocked. Everything you could think of from shampoo to laundry detergent. The place was very clean. The neighborhood was nice and was very close to the beach. We loved it and cant wait to go back. Plenty of things to do and see. Thanks Mark for such a affordable place, we really appreciate it!

Unforgettable!

Review Submitted: September 24, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We have returned today from Mark's home and it is everything described and so much more. Mark goes above and beyond to make sure you feel at home. It was clean, cool and very comfortable and we truly felt at home there. Everything you need is there. There is so much to see and do just within the home:books, board games, video games, movies, there is even an acoustic guitar that our son played every night we were there. All that before you get to the beach! We were so sad to leave.The people in Mexico Beach and Port Saint Joe feel like old friends and of course the beach is too gorgeous to describe! We will definitely return, the sooner the better! We took a day trip to Panama City and it was great but we were ready to come back "home" at the end of the day. I have already recommended this home-my daughter and friends plan on renting it as soon as they find an opening and we will be back asap! Make sure you take a night walk on the beach, we had a blast dodging the ghost crabs! Mark is great, he called to make sure everything was okay and of course it was fantastic. Thank you, Mark for an unforgettable vacation.

Excellent Economical Accomodations

Review Submitted: March 12, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
Based on the reviews, my wife and I spent 2 weeks here in February. We had searched for a reasonably priced place near the beach that would also accomodate our golden retriever. Mark's place was a perfect place to base out of while exploring the "Forgotten Coast". We loved the close proximity to the beach, which is dog friendly, unlike many of the beaches to the west. Located mid-way between Mexico Beach and Port St. Joe made for a short drive in either direction for groceries, restaurants, or sight seeing. As advertised, just about everything you could imagine was provided, allowing us to comfortably hang out in the evenings, cook meals and keep up to date on things back home via the internet. The decor is nothing fancy, but everything was spotlessly clean, functional and comfortable. Mark was very responsive and checked in with us to make sure everything was OK. Thanks Mark - we had a great time!
