#### Great little duplex!
My husband & I loved this clean, quiet duplex that’s an easy walk to beach. There were some very minor issues that our host fixed for us & some construction noise across the street but overall great! Also, an added bonus is the tap water is perfectly drinkable, unlike many beach homes we’ve rented, so you don’t have to keep buying bottled water. This was our first time back to Mexico Beach since the hurricane and it felt like our old happy place.

#### Amazing Location
My family and I stayed in this unit (F) for 7 nights. Our host Corey was very repsonsive with any questions we had and even left a welcome gift for us on the counter. I really appreciated that extra touch. The place looks exactly like the pictures. Everything was newer and very clean. We had everything we needed to make several meals and we really appreciated the grill. The beach access is a short few min walk and feels like a private beach. We even had it to ourselves a few evenings. We would definitely stay at this location again.
