You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

SEA SHANTY- Beachfront, Topnotch Comfort & Fully-Stocked!

You'll fall asleep to the sound of waves and awake to a spectacular gulf view right from the master ensuite!

Sea Shanty offers a peaceful coastal aesthetic with custom craftsmanship throughout. Great thought has been given to provide the elements for a wonderfully relaxed vacation!

The kitchen is well stocked, and the living room offers a leather sofa, 2 leather rocker recliners, along with a 75" smart TV plus, 170+ cable channels. The kitchen bar offers a USB outlet and Wi-Fi is throughout.

For indoor dining, there are four kitchen counter bar stools along with a table that seats four and offers a gorgeous gulf view.

Both bedrooms are fitted with motorized head lift-beds, hybrid mattresses, and comfortable bedding. The master ensuite includes USB outlets on either side of a king bed and offers a 55" smart TV plus 170+ cable channels. The guest bedroom is furnished with 2 queens and a 43" smart TV, plus 170+ cable channels.

Laundry is made easy with a full-size LG Tower washer & dryer, detergent, softener, and laundry bags. An iron, board, and steamer are also available to our guests.

Killer's Seafood is a favorite and located just across (two lane) Hwy 98. Sea Shanty's carport offers a picnic table with an additional seating area, where you can enjoy a to-go meal or cook your own on an outdoor gas griddle.

Sea Shanty offers a gorgeous wide view of the gulf on every level. From the carport to the living room, to the master ensuite, you’ll greet the gulf's beautiful sunrises and enjoy sunsets to end your day. The carport and both balconies offer seating to take in the sights and sounds of the water’s edge.

Be ready to leave the hassle behind and use Sea Shanty's beach chairs (6/adult 4/kids), beach toys & towels, and the awesome Shibumi beach shade! Also for your enjoyment, you'll find binoculars for watching the dolphins, turtle-safe red-beam flashlights to enjoy nighttime walks on the beach, and a portable indoor/outdoor Bluetooth speaker for easy listening. For your convenience, we've installed an awesome outdoor surfboard shower to end your day at the beach sand-free!

Sea Shanty’s kitchen and baths are well stocked with paper goods, but should you need more the Dollar General is only 2.5 mi east. Both full baths are equipped with hand soap, a starter shampoo, conditioner, body soap, a blow dryer, and much more. The kitchen offers an ample supply of paper goods, foil, plastic wrap, dish detergents, and garbage bags. Guests are also welcome to use any coffees, creamer & sweetener, teas, spices, seasonings, oils or cooking sprays made available during their stay. Guests will also find a snack tray available!

For families with babies and toddlers we are happy to make two playpens with sheets and a highchair available. A white noise machine and a baby monitor are also available, along with toddler dinnerware and sippy cups.

We strive to provide a well maintained and top-notch furnished property for your comfort and convenience. It is our hope that you will enjoy making memories here as much as we do!

Thank you for observing that Sea Shanty is a NO smoking, NO pets, and NO events property.

Absolutely the BEST
This was one of the nicest, cleanest and by far the most well stocked places we have ever stayed! The owner was easy to contact and converse with and the place was just our style! Access to the almost private beach was so super easy, parking was covered, beach chairs a-plenty, and just anything and everything you can think of is on site for you to use. Be sure to check out the Killer Seafood food truck literally directly across the street. The food was fantastic there! Sea Shanty Owner Robin is so generous and kind! I just cannot say enough good things and there were just no negatives with our stay at this place! Beautiful home and we would be delighted to come back sometime if she will have us!

The property was phenomenal. The thoughtfulness that went into stocking the place for every conceivable necessity was out of this world. Loved being so close to the beach. But the pavers were not laid out in the sand walking away from the patio, so you did have to watch for prickly things sticking your feet. Thanks for a great visit!

Nothing short of amazing!
I have been to Mexico Beach many times, but none in a propert as gorgeous as Sea Shanty or with a phenomenal host like Robin. I had read comments about the unit being stocked, but no comments did the unit justice. Every single detail is thought out and accounted for, every emergency item or regular item you could ever need is stocked and available. The check in/out process was easy, with personal communication with Robin, which I so appreciated compared to some hosts. We stayed for a minimoon and were met with a bowl of goodies and a personalized newlywed card. She truly went above and beyond. Hosting aside, the actual unit is perfect, eith gorgeous views, plenty of space, and great outdoor patios and seating areas. I could not have asked for more. Truly phenomenal.

Wow! Fully stocked is an understatement. The host thought of everything a traveler might need. A great location; comfortable home; clean; and the most thoughtful and organized property/owner I have had the pleasure to experience in a long time. Loved my time here with my adult children and they have already asked if we can come back. Robin, thank you for being an excellent host.

This was one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve had! The condo was spotless and stocked with essentials. Such a pleasant surprise to have needed items in the condo. Beautiful beach and wonderful little town. The host was very responsive also. We had originally booked for 14 days but enjoyed everything so much we extended our stay!

I have stayed at numerous VRBO properties, this one by far was the most generous, welcoming property we have ever stayed. The property owner was in constant communication with us and let us know weather conditions. The property was amazing and generously stocked. The bath towels in the master bathroom were so amazing, that I asked where she got them. This property was a wonderful retreat and I hope to come back soon. I highly recommend.

Beautiful condo
Sea Shanty was very clean and comfortable . It was very well stocked, more than any condo I have ever rented. We lacked for nothing from coffee, snacks, extra essentials in case we forgot something from home. Would definitely stay there again. Only drawback I can think of are the stairs going up to the bedrooms which might cause issue with some people. Property manager was great to work with.

Over the years we have stayed in multiple properties in the area, this was the best by far! Great location, super clean, beautiful beach and view. Robin was a great host who has thought of everything. Great communication before the stay and she provided tips and recommendations for the area in her book and emails. Lots of great touches like holiday decorating and little necessities stocked in case you forgot something. Only downside was that we had to leave. Would recommend and stay here again!

Perfect location, spotless home, wonderful trip! Easily the most well-appointed rental we’ve ever stayed in. Robin was a gracious hostess and was super communicative! We appreciated the stocked pantry items, bathroom supplies, dry goods, and toys/beach items! We’ve been coming to Mexico Beach for years and this is my favorite rental property to date, thanks to its location, beach access, and friendly host. We will be back to stay here again!!

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at the Sea Shanty and were blown away by our experience. Ms. Robin is a gracious host and was communicative from the start. The townhouse itself was particularly clean and well stocked with coffee, snacks, and any toiletry you may need. It is amazing. Beach necessities are also provided. Within the back drop of beautiful Mexico Beach, a better place to spend a vacation can’t be found!

Reunited (with Mexico Beach) and It Feels So Good!
Our last visit to MB was 2 months before Hurricane Michael hit. Needless to day, we were heartbroken by the devastation of it. Fast forward 5 years, we were missing Mexico Beach so badly and happened to stumble upon Sea Shanty. What a treasure it turned out to be. The best way I can describe it, and I know it sounds cliche, is "home away from home," but it truly is. All the reviews are absolutely 100% true. Robin has thought of everything you could possibly need, and this place is stocked like you would not believe. Every convenience you could imagine, is at Sea Shanty. It is beautifully decorated, and the view is absolutely stunning. I think we would've tried to tried to stay a few more days, but people were evacuating because of Idahlia, so we left when scheduled. I highly recommend Sea Shanty to anyone who likes vacationing at a slower pace on a beautiful beach and staying in a beautiful place. We hope to go back next year.

Everything about our experience was perfect. Sea Shanty felt so warm and welcoming. It was like staying in the home of a friend. From the snacks, coffee, fully stocked kitchen, toiletries, to the beach towels and chairs, Robin anticipated our every need. We truly only needed to bring our swimsuits and flip-flops. Sea Shanty is a beautiful and relaxing ocean front home. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stay here.
