Reviewers praise the friendly, “local roadhouse” vibe and consistently fresh seafood. The atmosphere is relaxed, rustic-chic—complete with palm-adorned walls, cozy tables, full bar, TVs, and even a whimsical pirate ship play area and costume chest for kids.

This property is beautifully decorated with spacious rooms and every comfort you could want. The beach access across the street makes going to the uncrowded beach easy. Convenient to gas station, Dollar General and Shipwreck Raw Bar, and just a few minutes further to Mexico Beach or Port St Joe.

Beach Dreams is a great property. It is perfect for two adult couples or a family of 4. We did not use any of the amenities. We were there for the beach! The location and access to the beach was great. The only thing better would have been beachfront!There are a lot of stairs to ascend/descend every time you come or go. We were all healthy enough that this did not bother us. But, it is something to keep in mind.We really enjoyed the area and hope to return in the future.
