We really enjoyed our stay at Clown Fish cottage. Better than advertised. Mexico Beach is vibrant again. The beaches were pristine and we really enjoyed horseback riding on the beach at the Cape. The pics are just steps away from the cottage.
Highly recommend this home! It was spotless, well stocked with everything you could possibly need, bed was extremely comfortable. Great location & easy check in.
We loved our stay & will definitely be back.
Perfect for us! Super close to the beach, friendly quiet neighborhood, lots of places to walk dogs, super great food close by. Accomadting friendly host! Definetly plan to return!
My little family loved staying at the Clown Fish Cottage. The location to the beach was great! My daughter loved the bunk beds. This was our second time to Mexico Beach and we will definitely keep this place in mind when coming back!
Everything was as advertised, we were there for 6 weeks and enjoyed our selves very much. The apartment was very clean and cozy. The beaches and sunsets are fantastic. The host checked in with us when we arrived to see if we had any questions which was much appreciated. Would highly recommend Clown Fish Cottage.
The property is exactly as described on VRBO.. perfect for us and our two girls (14 and 11). They loved the bunk beds! The king size bed in the master bedroom was SO comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals on the nights that we stayed in! Great location with a very short walk to the beach. We would definitely stay here again!
My wife, our senior rescue dog, and I stayed at the ClownfishCottage in Mexico beach. It was our 1st visit back in Mexico Beach since Hurricane Michael, in 2018. The owner was easy to work with, the location was great, and the facilities were as advertised.
My husband, my 14 year old dog and me had a blast. I especially loved the screened in porch with a swing!!! We all enjoyed the local beaches, bars and shops. We will definitely return!!
My husband and I came down to this adorable beach cottage for 7 days. Very easy to find and located within walking distance to the beach. Shep made checking in and out very easy. The property was extremely clean. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend staying here.
We enjoyed our stay here. No traffic. Easy access to the beach. Could use some more restaurants but what do a here are great. We loved the clown fish house. It is awesome.
We loved the cottage and the location. We plan to come back soon. Access to the beach was easy and the cottage was very comfortable. The cottage had everything we needed and the screened porch was so nice. Kitchen was well stocked and very clean.
It’s perfect for a couple or family with 2 small children.
Everything you need and nothing you don’t. Well appointed property, nicely built and decorated and very close to the beach. Highly recommend.

This is a nice quiet neighborhood with nice neighbors. The property had everything we needed, including kitchen supplies, beach chairs and a cart to take our items to the beach. Very short walk to the beach! Owner was very nice and helpful.
I try to take my dad to a new town/beach every time we go to Florida for a guys trip. This was the first time he’s asked if we can go back and stay at the same place next time. The house, location, and community is perfect.
It was our first time visiting the area and this cottage was perfect for us. We felt like we had the beach to ourselves for most of 3 days we were there. The cottage was clean, the bed was perfect, and everything was new and updated. The screened in porch was really enjoyable both morning and evening for meals. We will definitely be back and thank you so much for sharing your little gem with us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Clown Fish Cottage. Everything was as described in the description. Beach access was a very short walk, plenty of beach accessories on hand if you forgot something. Will definitely be visiting again.
Shep, the owner was very easy to deal with during the booking and check in. Also got a chance to talk with him in person, great guy.
Clownfish Cottage could not be any better! First, it is literally a minute-and-a half walk to the beautiful beach. The neighborhood is quiet and you feel like a local. The cottage is cozy, comfortable, with everything you need, including beach gear. The bed and shower are wonderful! I enjoyed the screened-in porch for meals and for swinging in the porch swing in the evenings, with the sound of the surf in the distance and the rustle of the palm trees. I can't wait to go back!
The cottage was very clean upon arrival. We didnt cook any meals but if we did the kitchen is fully stocked and the appliances look like their new! Location was pefect...literally walk out, take a left, cross 98 and your at the beach entrance!! Arrival was smooth and there is a binder on the coffee table with info about the cottage and the aera as far as stores and restaurants. Shep was a pleasure to work with. Will go back for sure!!!
