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.

This place was very clean and just as advertised. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking in. The location to the beach is ideal. Even with 2 small children it was an easy trip to and from the beach. Nice neighborhood hood to be able to walk your dog in. We would definitely come back for another stay.

Two houses down from the beach. Wouldn’t even consider it a whole block. Very close and convenient! Very clean, had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and would rent again in the future! A plus that we could bring our sweet Basil (shihtzu-poodle). Beautiful beaches with lots of marine life, especially dolphins!

The perfect place in the perfect town

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!

Stay in Mexico Beach

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.

Snowy Mexico Beach

We stayed at the Clownfish Condo in Mexico Beach the 3 rd week of January, which had very unusual weather for Florida! Two days into our stay, snow and cold weather came which caused many stores to close!! Being Midwesterners this was very surprising that some snow could cause a shutdown of businesses. Our stay at the condo was great. It was very comfortable and so clean. The shower was awesome!! The host was so accommodating and wonderful to work with. I would recommend this place.
