This was a lovely house…clean, quiet, homey, a short walk from the beach, with extremely comfortable beds. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking your own meals. And Cheryl is an attentive and gracious host. We will be back!

We had the best time staying here. It was our first time to Mexico Beach, but we plan on coming back. Cheryl was amazing to work with and was always available to answer questions. The house is very nice, the beds are so comfy and the kitchen and bathroom have everything you need. Could not have asked for anything more. We can’t wait to come back.

The property is immaculate!!! Cheryl has the kitchen so well stocked, if you want it, it’s there. From crock pots to electric skillet to plastic sandwich bags. Most of all, she is a wonderful host. We came stranger but left as friends! My husband and I loved the area and will be back. One guest describes it as home and honestly, that’s it, home

This stay was booked because we were looking for a location that was quiet as well as conveniently accessible to the beach. Well this location met both criteria. It was easy to find, easy to access. The beds were comfortable and the decor was pleasing. It had everything we were looking for. Honestly we have never had such a well stocked kitchen. Would definitely stay there again. The owners were quick to welcome us and offer assistance should we encounter any problems - which we did not need. Highly highly recommend this Vrbo.

We had a wonderful stay! We truly had “no hurry and no stress” staying here. The house was very clean and comfortable, and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. The walk to the beach is very easy, and the beach cart made transporting everything we needed to take so much easier! The owners were so nice, and I would absolutely stay here again!

Cheryl was by far the best host we have ever had in over 20 years of renting through VRBO. The property was spotless, well cared for, convenient to the beach with all the amenities you need. We would love to stay here again sometime soon. The Smith's.

Cheryl's place was wonderful and relaxing. We were very impressed with how clean it was. Her attention to detail made it obvious that she takes pride in her place and cares about her guests. Communication was fantastic throughout the stay. My family had a beach house in Mexico Beach for over 30 years, Cheryl's place made us feel right back at home.

We loved our stay in Mexico Beach at the Gull Reef. The owners really put thought into detail and supplies needed. It’s an easy walk to the beach. Even being the 4th of July week the beach was not crowded at all. It was the perfect quiet and low key beach trip.

The little beach house is just as described. We walked to the beach each day with our almost 2 year old granddaughter. The place was clean and fresh. The beds were super comfy. Also the water hose on the patio is handy for washing the sand off your feet, your gear, and your toddler. I would stay again!!

The property was clean and just as described in the listing. The outside pictures on the listing do not do it justice. It was just steps from beach with all the comforts of home. We will definitely be back.

Our stay here was nothing short of a great time. Kitchen had all supplies that we needed and a store wasn’t too far away for other items we needed. The beach was also a very short walk away and they had a nice beach cart that worked perfectly to cary Ty all of our stuff. Everything was very clean on our arrival and Cheryl, the host, was very kind and welcoming. Definitely will be back.
