The Sand Dollar - 6 Min Walk To Beach!
We loved our stay here. The backyard was wonderful for our dogs and we loved the washer and dryer for washing wet swimsuits after the beach. Adorable little home. Would stay here again!

Golf Cart! E-bikes! Heated Pool! Arcade! Fire Pit!
We had an amazing time! A bunch of teachers looking for rest and relaxation with our pups! We loved the calm private beach in the residence and the usage of the golf cart made it so easy to get around! The pool was amazing! There are beautiful beaches with waves close by but having a peaceful calm beach not packed with people was right up our alley! The beds were super comfortable and we could not have had a better stay! We hope to be back for a longer time next year!

3 BR Mins from boatramp Dog Friendly Boat Parking
The home was very clean and easy to get to with my boat. The parking was way more than enough to get in and out. also plenty of room. The house stayed cool and had all you need if you cooked a meal or went out. She was super nice and very responsive if you needed to contact. Get little place to stay

Cheerful 2 bedroom cottage 3 blocks from the beach
Stacey’s house is the perfect beach getaway if traveling with dogs! Our pups loved the freedom of the fenced in backyard. Just a few blocks to the beach, and we loved exploring downtown Port St Joe and Cape San Blas. The home was clean and had everything we needed for our short visit. Thanks Stacey for sharing your home!

Pet Friendly Cottage (#1) in DT Port St Joe
This is our 3rd time staying at Kathy's place and it is always a great experience. The house was clean and the area is so peaceful! They have walking paths in the neighborhood, its so close to shops and restaurants! We cannot wait to come back next year!

Organic Design with a Resort Style Heated Pool
This was the most beautiful and serene home I’ve EVER rented on this platform. Kristie’s place had everything you could possibly need during your stay and I love to smell a clean house🥰 The house was spotless! Bed linen and towels were ample and CLEAN! You will see wildlife which is normal in the area and we loved the dolphins that appeared in the lake. Kayaks available and my Marine got a great workout 😂The resort style pool did not disappoint and she also had floats. With the installed fans and canopy you will stay cool. I’m already looking to rebook! If you’re interested in true relaxation, look no further and book now😍🎉🎉

The Outlook
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The house itself is spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully decorated. The location is truly superior — close to everything we needed, with easy access to the beach. That said, there are a couple of things to keep in mind, especially for families traveling with older adults. The stairs inside the house are challenging and could be challenging for anyone with mobility issues. Also, the downstairs bedroom with twin beds is quite small — it’s great for kids, but a bit tight for adults to sleep comfortably. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property, especially for groups without mobility concerns.

Starfish Cottage with a short walk to the beach !
We loved staying at this little cottage, it was cute and just right for the two of us. Close to the beaches and we had some great food! The port poke, shipwrecked, crazy fish, the Joe coffee cup at Port Saint Joe was awesome! Cute little town hope to come back

One and 1/2 blocks to the BEACH!
Our stay at Rachel’s “midlife cottage” as she calls it was absolutely amazing. It was our first Airbnb rental & our first family trip with our 10 month old Magnolia. The home was equipped with all the baby gear we needed & more! Rachels charming little beach house felt like a home away from home for us & we couldn’t have had a better stay. We will most definitely be back in the future! ☀️🌊🩷

Golfing Cart Oasis
Great place! Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed the stay. Definitely will keep this location on our list.

A 2 BR/2.5 BA beautifully, decorated townhouse!
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful beach townhouse! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The space is bright, airy, and tastefully decorated with a relaxed coastal vibe that instantly put us in vacation mode. The location couldn’t be better, just steps from the beach! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony and ended each evening with a sunset walk along the shore. The townhouse was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed, from a well-stocked kitchen to beach wagon and towels. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and there was plenty of space for everyone to unwind. Whether you’re looking for a quiet escape or a fun-filled beach adventure, this spot truly has it all. We’re already dreaming of our next trip back! Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with our family. The Howard family

Durham House
What a wonderfully quaint place. Super clean with personal touches that made the stay so nice. We live in a beachy location and it was so nice that they had everything that we would normally have at home. From the moment we arrived we felt right at place. We look forward to returning to Mexico Beach so that we can stay at this Airbnb again.

The Bunkie on Wetappo Creek
We had an amazing experience at the Bunkie. Katie gave very clear instructions on how to check in and find her home because the GPS wasn’t always accurate. Check in was smooth and seamless and everything was exactly as pictured. The tiny house was extremely clean and accommodations were very well thought out. The location was beautiful, serene and peaceful and a very short drive to the beach making this location the both of best worlds. Katie went above and beyond in making us feel at home and she exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again in the future. Thanks so much for an amazing time!

Your guide to Mexico Beach
All About Mexico Beach
Perched on Florida’s Emerald Coast, Mexico Beach is a sunny destination beloved for its white sands, clear waters, and family-friendly spirit. Spend relaxing days stretching out on the sand, fishing on the Gulf of Mexico, and scoping out dive sites. When you turn your gaze to the horizon, you’ll likely see dolphins playing in the waves and pelicans swooping overhead. Make no mistake, people come here for the crystalline waters, surf, and scuba diving, but this down-to-earth community also has a lot of character. While here, don’t be surprised if you get invited to the annual Beach Gumbo Cook-Off. In 2018, Mexico Beach was one of the communities hit hard by Hurricane Mike, but with the help of friends and neighbors, they’ve managed to rebuild, in a true testament to the people who love this city.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Mexico Beach
With quirky local festivals aplenty, there’s something fun going on whenever you decide to visit. August to September is prime time to sample Bay scallops (or try your hand at fishing for them, if you have a license). August is also when the beloved Kingfish Tournament takes place. February is the annual Gumbo Cook-Off. If you want to see baby turtles hatching and making their way to the sea, May through October is their nesting season (just be sure not to get too close). Weather-wise, the summer tends to be hot, humid, and rainy, while the winter can get quite cool. For optimal weather, spring and autumn are your best bets. August through September is peak hurricane season, so if you’re traveling during those months be sure to pay attention to the local forecast.
Top things to do in Mexico Beach
Scuba diving
Mexico Beach has put a lot of stock in regenerating its coral reefs and protecting its marine ecosystems. The Gulf of Mexico is now home to more than 125 artificial reefs, some of which have grown into dense coral forests. Diving around here is also like a treasure hunt: scope out the Artificial Reef Pyramids, a WWII oil tanker, and several wrecked boats.
FIshing
The fishing around Mexico Beach is pretty great, especially during the summer months, when it’s possible to find Bay scallops, mackerel, red snapper, and grouper. Even novices can try their hand if you plan your trip in accordance with one of the license-free Fishing Days, which the city hosts throughout the year. Not a fan of fishing? You can still sample all the seafood you like, as local fishermen drag their hauls into local restaurants every day.
Wildlife spotting
Dolphins, sea turtles, pelicans, and bald eagles are all locals here, and depending on the time of year you come, you’ll have a pretty good chance of spotting them casually along the beach. Sea turtle nesting season happens every May through October, while bald eagles are best spotted in the winter. Regardless of season, there are few things more idyllic than watching the sun set over the water from your Mexico Beach rental, beverage in hand, as dolphins play in the waves in the distance.
