Tidelands by StayTheOne is a special find. And you found it! It has an incredible Gulf view, Pool & Hot Tub, gorgeous interior, and central location in Mexico Beach. Well-appointed and comfortable, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience.

When my parents bought this condo as a personal getaway in 2012, this very property was their top pick of the whole building. Years later as the owners, we're so glad they chose well! Here's why...

You can see the ocean from the whole Gulf side of the property—master bedroom, living room, and kitchen. That feeling of glancing up to see the ever-changing Gulf as you move throughout the rooms is what makes Tidelands special.

Beach Access: There's only a road between you and the beach boardwalk—it is super close, next after beachfront. Getting to the beach and back is so easy and convenient. Dashing back up for those goggles you forgot, a snack, or a bathroom break is a snap.

Balcony Experience: Step right outside to the covered Balcony from both the living room and master bedroom. It's big, it's private, and it directly faces the Gulf, making it everyone's *favorite spot*. Morning coffee with a book and dining at sunset are favorite pastimes. Relax with those glittering waters and fresh ocean breezes!

Pool & Hot Tub: Our building has one of the largest Pools in town + a relaxing Hot Tub, so there's something for everyone! The pool area is very close to the front door, only about 15 steps away.

What's it like to stay here? We curated this property for a Luxe experience of COMFORT and CONVENIENCE throughout: USB ports, Smart TVs in every room, *plenty* of toilet paper, favorite bath towels, coffee with cream and sugar, laundry supplies, clothes steamer.

What else? Work desk, FAST internet, fully-equipped kitchen, ceiling fans, blackout blinds, comfy beds. Plus Beach Gear for 6: Soft Turkish beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, wagon, cooler. No need to lug gear from home!

Love to grill up some surf & turf? There are 2 Gulf-view picnic areas with charcoal grills at the parking level + grilling utensils ready for you.

Guests tell us we thought of everything, and we certainly tried to! Why? Because we want your stay to be relaxed and to bring you joy.
