Wonderful spot!

This was the second time staying at True Blue and it was wonderful! It’s in a cute neighborhood that is really close to the beach and our favorite restaurant, Aunt Kate’s. The house is clean and large enough for our teens and we always have our little dog with us. We will definitely be back next summer. Tamara is the best hostess!

Great week at Vilano Beach!

Awesome place, comfy beds, nice front porch with rockers. Great for wayching the neighborhood pass by with cocktails ( us, not them!) Lol Great location near restaurants. The Reef, Aunt Kate's, Caps and Kingfish just over the bridge in the Comanchee Harbour Inn area. Relaxing back yard...our dog loved keeping an eye on the squirrels. Definitely a place we would stay at again.

True Blue was very peaceful

We enjoyed our stay at True Blue, the home was very clean, kitchen well appointed and backyard peaceful. Eating outside beneath the huge shade tree was nice and having our dogs with us was a plus! Beach chairs towels and wagon provided, Tamara also made sure we had a boogie board to use, thanks Tamara! True Blue sent us home relaxed, we would return😊
