About this property

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 local 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 local cable channels. The guest bedroom is furnished with 2 queens and a 43" smart TV, plus local 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.

Relaxing vacation

The best VRBO we have stayed in. We had everything that we needed. Robin (the owner) sent us an email before our trip including the housebook and things that were nearby the rental. This was most helpful & I referred to it several times. Relaxing on the balcony, watching the sunsets was wonderful. Communication with Robin was immediate. We hope to return againJoe D

Absolutely an amazing place!

Robin was by far the best host I have ever had with any stay. Her place was so well thought out. I saw a review that said you could literally come with just your clothes and you would have everything you need and that is so true. It made our stay with 2 kids so much easier as well. Will definitely be revisiting Sea Shanty!

Phenomenal

Robin far exceeded expectations on being the absolute best host. Prior to arrival Robin sent a house book, along with lists of restaurants, things to do, what's nearby and in surrounding area, which was helpful for planning ahead. We were welcomed by a snack kit on the counter upon arrival. Space is very clean and inviting. Fully stocked with everything you could think of making it extremely helpful if you just want to relax. The accuracy of the description of property was right on, Topnotch! We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Robin McKenzie

Host profile image
Working hard and spending time with our three kids and six grandchildren is our life!
Sea Shanty is the perfect spot for some downtime to make wonderful memories with our family and friends. It's our hope that guests will do the same!

Why they chose this property

Our family began visiting Mexico Beach a couple years before Hurricane Michael destroyed the original property. We loved the location so much that the opportunity to become an owner was a dream come true. There's a peacefulness about the location that is so inviting. It's our favorite spot and we hope it becomes yours too!

What makes this property unique

The two lane, no red light, peaceful little town of Mexico Beach built back strong and was not only voted Garden & Guns' Best Beach in 2021, but was just named one of Travel & Leisure Magazine's Top Destinations for 2022! World Atlas also named Mexico Beach one of Panhandle's best small towns for a weekend getaway! There's a peaceful easy feeling here and the convenience of walking right onto the beach makes vacationing at Sea Shanty so pleasant. A gorgeous gulf view and the sound of waves on every level are the perfect setting to unwind, relax, and be refreshed!
