What a great way to celebrate and the New Year!
We had a wonderful experience!! Our family had so much to enjoy: the beautiful beach, heated pool, spacious rooms, quaint shops and the most amazing thing was to have an elevator to take you to your floor. We all made such great memories together. We highly recommend this house and property manager if you're looking for a relaxing and hassle free vacation. Cheers!

Great location and plenty of space. Felt like the beach was ours! Everything was great. Would suggest a reference to use the electronics, and fireplaces. Outdoor shower was not working. Incredible views and complete relaxation.

First trip to Mexico Beach
This was our yearly family vacation.
The elevator was great for bringing in supplies and getting our elderly mother from floor to floor. The kitchen was well stocked and we utilized it daily. When the weather cooled they turned the heat up in the pool. We had good fishing, nice bonfires and great stargazing. The rental company were quick to respond to anything we needed.

Very Dirty House.
This was the dirtiest house we have ever stayed in. The pictures make it look beautiful. The ceiling in the living room has a whole in it, fixtures have fallen off the walls and were never put back, mold in 2 of the showers and toilets, dust all over the walls that is very visible. The rats that live in the dunes ran on to our pool deck and chewed a pair of flip flops. There is a lot of improvements that can be made to this property. We didn’t call the realtor because we were on vacation and didn’t want to be bothered with people in the house when all of this should have been taken care of before we checked in. We were very disappointed with this property!!

Beautiful home !
This house is as described and then some. Beautifully appointed right on the beach. Private boardwalk from private pool to beach. Quite, uncrowded beach. Amazing sunsets. Plenty of room for our family of seven. Spacious rooms with comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you need and laundry room to freshen up your beach towels.
Great communication with Harmon Vacation Rentals.
Totally recommend this property.

The house had plenty of room for our family of grandparents, grown children and grandchildren. The pool is wonderful when the beach and sun are too hot. The house is well equipped in the kitchen and throughout. Any calls to property manager no matter what time were promptly returned.

Wonderful house
This was such a great house right on the beach. The house had everything we needed and then some. We got to see dolphins every single day! When everyone had cleared from the water, we even saw sting rays when walking along the shore. Such a fun time for ours kids. The covered pool was amazing when we wanted to escape the sun for a while. The kitchen in this house was absolutely amazing. We will 100% try to get this house again when we vacation in the area!
