Just wanted to make anyone looking at this property aware that it is on the highway (98) not on the beach. I mean itâs 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. Iâll 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 didnât 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 itâs 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!
