WATERSHED COTTAGE IS A BEAUTIFUL NEW 3BD/2BA HOME! STEPS TO BEACH, PET FRIENDLY!

This beautiful, custom built home is located at the end of a private, dead end street and welcomes your furry friends (up to 2 dogs, pet fee applies)!

Come fall in love with the Forgotten Coast's sugary white sand beaches, world-class fishing, and the laid-back atmosphere in quaint Mexico Beach. This small, family-friendly community, nestled between St. Joe Beach and Panama City Beach, offers gorgeous sunrises and sunsets filled with long, relaxing days on its beautiful, uncrowded beach.

Excellent Property a Short Walk from the Beach

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.

We absolutely loved the Watershed Cottage, I wish I could have just picked it up to bring it home with me! The house was fully furnished with everything we needed for our week visit to Mexico Beach. Plenty of space for my family, with spacious rooms and it was SO clean! Steps away from the beautiful beach, a short drive to local restaurants & yummy ice cream shops or visit the local marina to get fresh shrimp or fish to cook on the grill at the house. Will definitely be back & highly recommend staying at the Watershed Cottage! Thank you for sharing your little slice of Heaven with us!

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.

Home away from home

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.

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!

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

Peaceful Porch in Mexico Beach

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!
