This is a beautiful new property. It was a perfect size and location for three adult couples. We loved the large kitchen island, perfect for cooking together, as well as each bedroom having its own bathroom. Communication with the management team was easy; the team was responsive and lovely.

Perfect!
This cottage is in an excellent location and is very clean.
This was a great place for my family to stay for the week. The house was close enough to the beach (with public beach access)to walk in 5 minutes and near many restaurants.
Our visit to Mexico Beach was a good one, in part because the house was clean, and had everything needed for us.
Comfortable and cozy cottage in a great location. A weekend escape to Mexico Beach is just what the doctor ordered. Me and my family will be counting down the minutes to our next visit.
This house was perfect for our long weekend getaway. Space was perfect for the 4 of us. Great access to the beach! Loved being able to bring our pet along. Would highly recommend and will definitely rent again.
This property is great. If cleanliness is your thing you're going to love this place. All new appliances, beautiful decorations and spotless bathrooms and walk in showers.
What a great house and an amazing tiny town. This was the most relaxing Florida trip I’ve taken in 20 years. What a wonderful home and a perfect little community!
The house was awesome. Clean, new and well taken care of. Short stroll to the beach. Would go back again!

Watershed cottage
Watershed Cottage was very nicely furnished and extremely well kept. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The cottage is located at the very end of a dead end street which meant no thru traffic. You can walk to the beach ( about a 5 min walk) or just drive and be there in a min and unload right at the beach walk way. My favorite thing though was the beautiful outside porch lights.
We will rent again.

Perfection ♥️
LOVE LOVE LOVE! So clean so perfect I wanted to move in thank you to all who have played a roll in creating this beautiful home especially the cleaning crew! Cleanliness is my top priority and you guys made it pristine, I felt so comfortable and at ease.
We had a great time at the Watershed. It was a short walk to the beach. We love the screen in porch, we spent plenty nights enjoying the porch and the outside lights. The dead end street was also a plus. We definitely stay again
Watershed cottage is a charming newly built home that is beautifully furnished, spacious and comfortable. The roomy screened in front porch was of our family’s favorite rooms in the house. Another wonderful feature was the amazing walk in showers not only in the master bath but the guest bath as well. The beach and Killer Seafood is a convenient 5 minute walk away. Best of all our family dog got to come with us. Loved our stay!

Loved It!
Loved everything about this house. Good location, nice quiet street, very clean. Even though we didn't do any cooking, seemed to be well stocked with what one needs. Just a block from the beach. I could go on and on. Would love to have the house plan. Loved the way it is laid out. Nice kitchen! Open with lots of cabinet storage. If you need a cart rental, contact Bayside Cart Rentals, very good experience. This was our very first time to this area and anyone we met at businesses was very nice. Good experience!
This house is perfect for just two people or four. The layout is perfect. Nice big kitchen area, nice back porch area for cooking out and a nice big screened in front porch for relaxing. The guest rooms are spacious. The master bedroom is large as is the master bathroom. The house is on a dead-end street so no worries about traffic noise. Easy walk to the beach ! My wife and I are in our mid 50’s and were tired of all the noise and crowds with other beaches. If you are looking for peace and quiet, then Watershed Cottage is for you.
The Watershed Cottage not only met but exceeded my expectations. I appreciate the attention to detail in the every aspect of the cottage. I especially loved the cleanliness. I typically do not rent from pet friendly rentals due to allergies but with the cleanliness of this rental you would never know pets were allowed. The kitchen had everything we needed for the week and I loved the spaciousness. The bathrooms were perfection and I appreciated the storage within the closets. I also especially loved having the chairs and wagon for our trips to the beach. Having extra amenities and details such as these really make a difference in a rental. I look forward to renting this cottage again.
We loved Watershed! We had a wonderful, very relaxing, and comfortable week. The cleaning service should absolutely be commended. Everything was spotless, not a single clue that anyone else ever stayed there, and I’m pretty picky. Beautifully and simply decorated, great bathrooms and comfortable beds. Well supplied kitchen. A couple recommendations-shades on the screened in porch (it’s hot in the afternoon when coming home from the beach) and additional kitchen towels. We were using a lot of paper towels because there was only one washable towel. We loved this house overall. Loved that it was at the end of a quiet street. However, the next street over is quite busy and so you’ll hear a lot of trucks going by when sitting on the porch. 14th St seems to be missing a ‘No Outlet’ sign so we saw a lot of cars come down our street and then turn around in front of our house when they realize they can’t cut through. We would definitely stay here again. I’m picky and this was a fantastic, cozy little cottage with a quick walk to the beach.
We visit Mexico Beach every summer and we fell in love with this place.

Great House!
We have stayed at many houses at many different beaches, from 30A to Cape San Blas. This was by far one of our favorite houses we have stayed it. Just the little details the owners had to make it a great stay with our two younger kids and little Yorkie. Short walk to the beach and added bonus having a nice pool. Can't wait to stay here again!
