Healing Hideaway is a great place to find peace and restfulness from everyday life.  Located just a short walk from the public beach access in St. Joe Beach across from Seashore Dr, you’ll have fantastic views from either the top floor balcony or patio in the front yard.  St. Joe Beach is pet friendly, and so is Healing Hideaway, so make plans to bring your dog to join you on those walks.

This 2 bedroom/1.5 bath townhouse is located on the ground level with the living area on the bottom floor and the bedrooms located upstairs.  It can accommodate a family of 4 or two couples quite nicely.  The fenced back yard is a great place to hang when not on the beach with a great sundeck and dining for your evening meals.

This location is ideal year around.  The beach is beautiful, and typically not too crowded.  The shoreline is calm and ideal for children.  And don’t forget about the sunsets in the fall, they are simply breathtaking.  Come take a break at Healing Hideaway any time of year.

Floor Plan: Ground level – living room, TV, DVD player and ½ bath; eat-in kitchen with a two-top dining table and bar seating.  1st floor – bedroom 1 with queen bed and private deck; full bath with shower only, and bedroom 2 – king bed, TV and furnished, gulf view deck.

**Pet Friendly, max quantity, type, and additional fees do apply**

The ceiling fans were noisy & not useable. We are used to fans at night & had to go buy a couple.
TV instructions need to be clearer.

We loved our time at Healing Hideaway for our family of four plus the dog. It should be noted that you have to walk to the public beach access down the street but the walk was not bad and the access has an easy surface to pull carts on. I would like to have known that up front, however, it wouldn't have changed our mind to rent there. Still a very short walk. Loved the balconies and back yard. Great amount of space for four people and beautiful location. Full sized washer and dryer along with a well stocked kitchen. Bedrooms do not have cable/streaming services so bring some DVDs if you like to throw something on the TV at bedtime for the kiddos. We received a credit for some delivered beach equipment that was great. We had a skim board, three beach chairs, kayak and vests the entire trip and didn't have to lift a finger to get or return them. We will stay at Healing Hideaway again!

Thanks for your feedback and glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Just one update to your comments, the upstairs TV is for a DVD only but the downstairs TV does have normal cable service.

Beautifully decorated & nicely equipped townhome with not one, but two balconies with a beach view ! The fenced in backyard was such a plus and the short walk to the beach made this one of our best stays ever at The Forgotten Coast. Thank you Pristine Properties for continuing to be the best place to choose for vacation stays !!

Very unhappy renter
I love Mexico Beach and have never complained about a rental so far from Pristine until our recent trip..This condo needs updating in a major way...The recliner sits and looks 50 years old. The sofa isn't much better...The stairs upstairs are steep.. The plug recepticle in the 1/2 bath didn't work..The light at the top of stairs was out. The tv's upstairs in the bedrooms could only be used with DVD 's only....No satellite connection for those tvs..The beach access across the street wasn't for our use so we either had to walk a distance or drive to go to the beach....Will not EVER stay at this place again...For the money spent on this condo, wasn't worth it at all !!!!!! Very disappointed.....

Loved sitting on the front deck watching the sunsets. Very relaxing. The only reason I wouldn't stay there again is because we are building our own home in St Joe Beach. Would recommend this place.

Overall, I think the property was in a good location. It had a decent view of the gulf and it was not hard to either go west or east for other beach access sites. It seems the gate for beach access was limited to Gulf Aire residents. I did not find anything about the gate codes although I really didn't look that hard. There were beach sites further west I actually liked better.

Scheryl C - Posted: 9/29/2020

Please note that beach access through the Gulf Aire boardwalk is closer to this property than the public access but is reserved for Gulf Aire residents only.

This was the perfect place for me and my wife. Very peaceful and quiet and had a beautiful view of the Gulf from the front patio and master bedroom. Would stay again.

Healing Hideaway
Pristine Properties seems to be who I dealt with online although the photo above indicates Gulf Aire. It is on Gulf Aire Drive and there seems to be a bunch of Gulf Aire property in the area. The only issue (if you want to call it that) is all of the metal outdoor chairs and tables were rusted a lot and therefore the cushions were stained. I know a lot of bad weather has been through the area. There is a lot of construction going on in the neighborhood but there wasn't much noise from it. The pile driver made most of the noise. It is not really a bad location, although it is between Mexico Beach itself and St. Joe (not Port St Joe). You pretty well have to go east or west to find good dining facilities. I saw limited dine in opportunities.

Girls Get Away
We enjoyed just being able to get away. We did have to wait to check in because the guy was still in there cleaning but we rode around looking at the area. It is a very nice place to stay though. The beach is across the road but the access is on down the road to the left a little ways.

The property is great. It’s right across from the beach and an easy walk. It’s close to various restaurants. The property itself is very nice and up to date.

Location was great, as it is across the street from beach! We were comfortable during our stay, the rental felt nice and clean and had pretty much everything we needed. Many local food/store options are now opened back up which was great to see. As a side note, if we were to stay here again, I'd either love to have access to a baby gate for stairs or will make sure to bring one. The stairs are steep. Our small dog tumbled down them- twice!

A beach gem
This is a beautiful townhouse just steps from a private community beach. It is well suited for pets with a private, fenced yard. The place was sparkling clean and well stocked. We were very happy with the company and their attentiveness.

Nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. Recommend for quiet families or couples. Proximity to beach and view is great. If key pad entry is still in use, I would recommend asking for keys and keeping them as back up entry. Of note, walkway to beach located closest is not technically for this property use. Pet friendly! We were able to bring our 2 dogs! Nice, safe neighborhood to walk dogs or walk/exercise. There is a park (playground, dog park section) less than a mile from the home and easily walkable (sidewalks). General store within walking distance.
