Peace and Quiet

October 2024

Overall
5

This house is perfect for just two people or four. The layout is perfect. Nice big kitchen area, nice back porch area for cooking out and a nice big screened in front porch for relaxing. The guest rooms are spacious. The master bedroom is large as is the master bathroom. The house is on a dead-end street so no worries about traffic noise. Easy walk to the beach ! My wife and I are in our mid 50’s and were tired of all the noise and crowds with other beaches. If you are looking for peace and quiet, then Watershed Cottage is for you.

Manager's Response

Thank you Charles! We are thrilled you had a great experience at Watershed. This home is the perfect size in the perfect location. We look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the near future.

We loved our stay at Mexico Beach except it was cut short by Hurricane Helene. The cottage was lovely and beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Only two complaints/comments: The master bedroom mattress was lumpy and very uncomfortable. It probably needs replacing. Also, the barn doors into the master bedroom bath don't give a person enough privacy. The doors do not close completely. Not a big deal, but the faucets in the master bath (on left side) are reversed. The HOT water is COLD and vice versa.

Manager's Response

Thank you Daniel for this feedback and your 5 star rating. We will be taking a look at the items you had listed. So glad to hear you all had a wonderful time despite your vacation being cut short. Would love to see you all back again, reach out to us anytime when your ready to book your next stay.

The Watershed Cottage not only met but exceeded my expectations. I appreciate the attention to detail in the every aspect of the cottage. I especially loved the cleanliness. I typically do not rent from pet friendly rentals due to allergies but with the cleanliness of this rental you would never know pets were allowed. The kitchen had everything we needed for the week and I loved the spaciousness. The bathrooms were perfection and I appreciated the storage within the closets. I also especially loved having the chairs and wagon for our trips to the beach. Having extra amenities and details such as these really make a difference in a rental. I look forward to renting this cottage again.

Manager's Response

Natalie, thank you for recognizing the cleanliness of our home! It is our priority to have each and every one of our guest feel comfortable and right at home. So glad to hear that we met all of your expectations and this home provided the space, quietness and relaxation you all were looking for.

Hope to see you all back again, soon!

We loved Watershed! We had a wonderful, very relaxing, and comfortable week. The cleaning service should absolutely be commended. Everything was spotless, not a single clue that anyone else ever stayed there, and I’m pretty picky. Beautifully and simply decorated, great bathrooms and comfortable beds. Well supplied kitchen. A couple recommendations-shades on the screened in porch (it’s hot in the afternoon when coming home from the beach) and additional kitchen towels. We were using a lot of paper towels because there was only one washable towel. We loved this house overall. Loved that it was at the end of a quiet street. However, the next street over is quite busy and so you’ll hear a lot of trucks going by when sitting on the porch. 14th St seems to be missing a ‘No Outlet’ sign so we saw a lot of cars come down our street and then turn around in front of our house when they realize they can’t cut through. We would definitely stay here again. I’m picky and this was a fantastic, cozy little cottage with a quick walk to the beach.

Manager's Response

WOW! You truly are the best! We loved to have hosted you & grateful to have wonderful guest such as yourself. This home has been very thought through to provide the best for our guest during their stay. Happy to hear you all felt at home and everything was outstanding for you all.

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.

Manager's Response

We are so glad you had a great time at Watershed Cottage. It's such a nice, custom built home! We strive to make all of our homes spotless so this is music to our ears! Thank you so much!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Watershed Cottage. It was a short and easy walk to the beach, also to a small ice cream shop. The property was very clean. The bathrooms are gorgeous and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen is very spacious and they provided every appliance you could need. Wish we stayed longer! Thank you for a fabulous vacation!

My wife and I really enjoyed this property. The house was ultra-clean, almost like new. The living area and kitchen were spacious and with three bedrooms, the place could handle six people easily. A lot of really nice touches from the bathroom/showers to motion lights on the steps. Short walk to the beach (3 blocks), however, Mexico Beach does not allow dogs on the beach but it was an easy drive (~1.5 miles) to St Joe Beach where dogs are allowed on the beach. Please be aware there are still hurricane damaged homes around Mexico Beach so there are some overgrown homes nearby and a lot of construction going on but for us it was not a problem at all. We highly recommend this place and plan to stay here again on our next trip to MB.

hank you Jeff for your kind comments and positive review! Watershed certainly doesn't disappoint in location or style. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time in both Mexico Beach and St. Joe Beach and look forward to the opportunity to host you again soon. It was indeed our pleasure.

We want to let you know how wonderful this house is and how super satisfied we are with all it has to offer. You did an amazing job, or someone did with every little detail. It is a beautiful home and is so comfortable. We have rented many vacation homes in numerous areas over the years and this is by far one of the nicest homes we have stayed at. The location is so great, close to the beach and still so quiet. We only arrived on Sunday and are still exploring the area and have found many areas for walking, hiking and biking. Tomorrow we will check out the golf course. The beach is by far one of the most beautiful, with the soft white sand and no crowds!
