Just wanted to make anyone looking at this property aware that it is on the highway (98) not on the beach. I mean it’s almost literally on the road. We were awaken to traffic every single morning by 6:30am. (Not my best idea of a vacation). Your balcony view is the road, a giant power pole, a construction site, then some of the ocean at a distance. No ocean sound, (without walking to the beach) only traffic. I mention this in review because I was duped into thinking it was on the beach by the creatively taken photos and the fact that I used the beachfront filter on VRBO. I’ll definitely be wary the next time. Again… the road and lack of a nice view in this unit is definitely a HUGE negative. With the price I paid… I didn’t expect a road view.
Now for the positives! Beautifully decorated unit with everything you need. Nice owner and friendly neighbors in the condo building. A bayou style pond in the back (we saw an alligator in it) and reports of BEARS in the area (kids loved that part)… lol. The unit itself is nice, but in my opinion overpriced since it’s on top of the busy road. Just a note-Mexico Beach as a whole is a large construction zone these days, but the beach was still gorgeous. Pay a little more and get that beachfront place (that I thought I booked) , it puts the traffic and construction behind you and the beautiful part in front. Tip-Delicious food at the Shipwreck Bar and Grill!
