Truly a hidden gem with quick beach access. The house was perfect for our family of 8. If we come back to Blue Mountain this will most definitely be where we stay. Having a pool is a must with Florida's uncertain weather. Thank you again for being wonderful hosts.

Beach vacay

We had a great stay! It was very close to the beach! The bikes were great for riding 30A( a basket to carry things would be icing on the cake!). The house was very clean and had everything we needed! The pool was very small, but it didn’t stop our grandkids from enjoying splashing around’. We would definitely stay there again!

Excellent house and location

Impressive property. Clean. Support staff was great. You can reach the beach with a sling shot. No need to pay +20% or more to be exactly on the beach. Pool was nice after a day at the beach. AC kept up day and night.

One of the things that we liked the most was the showers in every room, and we never ran out of hot water. We were just minutes from a lot of great restaurants. The pool was a little smaller than we expected but the children still had a ball in it. We were very pleased with the whole experience!
