Great family vacation.

This house was perfect in size and layout for our family. The ice maker in the kitchen was so handy for packing the cooler for beach days. The kitchen is equipped better than any vacation rental I have ever stayed in.

Wonderful house and location

The house was amazing - decor is fun, jukebox is a blast, and outdoor space was perfect! The entire house was impeccably clean and with all the amenities anyone could ask for! The pool was such fun and very clean and the beach was incredible, especially at low tide for the kids.

Wonderful house and wonderful location!

We could not have asked for a better house for our family vacation this year! The location is incredible, the beach and pool and amazing (so close and so clean). The house was so much fun - the kids loved the decor and the working juke box. Everything was spotless, every single part of the house. Plenty of extra towels for bathroom and beach, kitchen is well equipped for any kind of cooking you may want to do, and there were plenty of soaps for the bathrooms and kitchen. We would absolutely stay here again!!

Florida’s best kept secret

Navarre Beach is our favorite place to vacation and Blue Vue made it awesome. The house was well equipped to meet the needs of our large family. We spent the majority of our time together at the pool. It was awesome! Thank you Blue Vue!

Great June week!

The house is excellent. Great accommodations for our family (6 adults, 3 kids.) The theme and details of the house are well thought out and visually engaging. Great kitchen and bathrooms. The house is close to the pool and beach. Two parking spaces right in front and an overflow space about a block away. Great weather! The house also had beach toys, a wagon, beach chairs, and such items available for guest use. Nice decks with views of the ocean. A high deck accessible by spiral stair with really nice views of the area. Highly recommended.

Great Stay at Emil

This house was well located. It has a quirky asthetic but it is well done. My children especially loved the juke box and the neon lobster. The house was well equipped with all necessities and very clean. Will definitely stay again.

Perfect for family of 9

We loved the common areas. Perfect for watching TV, listening to the jukebox and playing games at the large table, and a kitchen that is fully equipped for meals. We chartered a fishing trip and prepared our catch at the house, on the grill provided as well as the use of the kitchen for a perfect meal. Beautiful furnishings and decor inside and the porches on each level, including the bonus crow's nest is amazing. We will visit again.

Fantastic, Fun & Fabulous

The owner/host has presented a meticulously maintained, clean and exceptionally well provisioned beach house. The unique decor which is carried throughout the entire home creates a special beach vibe for all of the guests. The home is appointed with high end appliances (the ice maker was wonderful) lots of towels for bath & beach, AC worked very well despite the heat/humidity. The home was remarkably clean in its entirety. One of our best VRBO stays ever!

The bedrooms are great and the showers are the best part of each room. You won’t be disappointed with this house and the beach is so close. Thank you for an amazing vacation.
