1 Year Anniversary

We stayed over the weekend and it was absolutely flawlesses with the location & the house itself. There were zero bugs inside (not even any tiny spiders by the door or windows), very cozy furniture, no loose sand or trash anywhere, and generally just an amazing place. Me & my girlfriend would definitely go again if I had the chance :)

Shipwreck Cottage was great!

We enjoyed our long weekend at Shipwreck Cottage in December 2024. Easy walk beach. The house is located in a cute little community with plenty of areas around to walk our dogs. We thought we were going to have a scheduling conflict, and the owner was more than willing to help us with an alternative booking. As it turns out, it wasn't needed, but the helpfulness of the owner was much appreciated. Its a nice, clean, well located property. Book it!

Wonderful week in February 2025

What a place! I was wowed by all the things you would not expect to have in a rental. To name a few simple things like dishwasher, laundry detergents. Soap, shampoo, paper towels. I have stayed at much more expensive places and had none of these simple items. The place is decorated very nicely. Comfortable beds. I mean a short walk to the beach what else could you need. Great place. Will stay there again. Hopefully soon. Georgia Girl

Cozy Cottage

Shipwreck Cottage was great. We really liked the location.The cottage was well supplied except for two items. There was not a clock in the cottage and there were no lamps in the bedrooms. We would have liked to have a clock in the bedrooms and we would have liked to have lamps on the bedside tables in the bedrooms. It would also be nice to have a clock in the living room/dining area. Everything else about the cottage was very good.

Review of 109

This unit was very clean, which was greatly appreciated. The only change I’d make is that the shower head is really high for shorter folks. An extra shower head holder installed a little lower would be nice. Otherwise, the unit was absolutely perfect! We loved the small community of houses. Thank you!!

This was our 3rd stay in Mexico Beach, and this rental, by far, was the best place we stayed at. Virtually a new cottage less than a 3 minute walk to the calm waters of Mexico Beach. Very close to shopping and food. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone that’s planning on staying in the area.
