    This is a nice quiet neighborhood with nice neighbors. The property had everything we needed, including kitchen supplies, beach chairs and a cart to take our items to the beach. Very short walk to the beach! Owner was very nice and helpful.

    Short walk to the beach, perfect screened porch with swing. We would stay here again. It would be nice if you would add an extra mirror outside the bathroom. A full-length mirror would be great . Add a note to the listing about the extra coffee maker that takes K-Cups.

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!

    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!

    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.

    review for Clownfish Cottage: Wow. What a cute comfortable piece of paradise at what’s become our favorite area to vacation. It’s was perfect for the two of us and our dog. Shep was amazing to deal with and he graciously understood the health of our dog and made an exception. In which we were forever grateful. We will stay here again & again if he’ll have us. The pics are exactly as it is on the website. It was was spotless. I can go on and on about how relaxing The Clown Fish Cottage was for us but you get the picture. Thank you Shep for sharing your piece of heaven on earth with us. Just like Arnold said……We’ll be BACK!!!

    The Clown Fish Cottage never disappoints us. This was our second visit and everything was great. The well equipped unit was very clean, the close walk to the beach and the screened in porch with the comfortable swing from which you can see the water, were all exceptional. Meeting the owner, who was very accommodating, was a plus. We'll definitely be back next year!
