The Blue Mountain Luxe roomy and comfortable for our 5-family, multi-generational family of 14. Good proximity & location to beaches, local spots, 30A & the Destin areas . Mike & Barbara were very helpful, informative and responsive from booking to departure.
We had a great time. It had everything we needed and then some. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were wonderful. Close to dining places and some great coffee/bakeries.
House perfect for families. Great location. House is very well equipped for cooking or just relaxing on the decks. The location to the beach is perfect… we rented a golf cart to take to the beach.

Thank you for the great review. We are glad your family enjoyed it as much as we do.
I hope we can host you again in the future
We took our multi family trip to the beach and this was perfect! There was plenty of space, lots of things already at the house so no need to bring a lot with you. Host was great to help with any suggestions we asked!

Thank you for your review. We enjoyed histing you and look forward to your return
Our family of 12 loved our stay at this spacious beach house. We had plenty of room for everyone and loved having 5 bathrooms when returning from the beach. Fully equipped kitchen was greatly appreciated. Our adult children especially liked the third floor porch. The beds are quality and comfortable. Beautifully decorated.
I can't say enough about this experience. The home was exceptional and the owner was so gracious and easy to work with. Communication with him was always accessable and prompt. Great vacation! Thanks again!

Thank you for your great remarks. We love hosting families in our home
Very nice house and location. Beautiful bedrooms. A little annoyed with overly concerned and pesty owner. Needs to chill out a little. Overall positive experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We are already planning our trip back. The house was in great condition and did not disappoint. We had plenty dishes, pots, pans, and all other necessary kitchen essentials. Beds were comfortable and towels were soft and durable. It was certainly a house we could stay in for a long while. Thank you also to the owners for leaving us organic, local treats and coffee for our stay. Thanks for the experience.

Thank you for the great review. Barbara and I enjoy sharing our home with other families, and look forward to your return.
The house was as advertised, a great spot for our big three generation group. Renting a golf cart helped make the beach easily accessible. We had plenty of space and the kitchen was well appointed. The Wi-Fi got progressively more unreliable as the week went on, which was difficult for post-beach kid entertainment since streaming is the only way to access TV in the house. The check in/out process involves multiple texts to multiple numbers, which quite frankly, was a little over the top compared to any other rental I’ve stayed in. Great house, but a simpler process would make it perfect.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Overall, our stay went well, but I did feel very uncomfortable throughout the stay, especially because of the extensive list of rules.I agree with some of the other reviews that the rules are extremely difficult. I have stayed in vacation homes before, but I have never felt as paranoid during a stay—or while preparing to leave—as I did here. I completely understand the need to explain expectations and protect the property, but the number and wording of the rules made me feel like I could potentially be charged for every little thing.For example, I found myself picking up small pieces of garbage from behind shrubs that could have easily blown in with the wind because I was worried we might somehow be blamed for them. The statement that the cleaning crew only provides “light cleaning” also made me feel like I needed to clean shower doors, sweep floors, and essentially do a deep clean before leaving.We even found an arm bracelet that appeared to have been left behind by a previous guest, and based on the information provided, it seemed like someone may have been charged 100 for it. The fact that the cleaning crew had missed it made me question how reasonable some of these potential charges are. I ended up spending part of our vacation taking photos of things we found simply to document that we hadn’t caused them.By the time we were getting ready to leave, I felt like I needed to do spring cleaning just to make sure we wouldn’t be accused of something. I think the rules
Overall experience: GREATGreat location and beautiful community! Great house for a big group with ample room. Good attention to detail and owner very helpful in suggesting golf cart rentals and things to do in area. Amenities were a plus. There were some ants in kitchen area, not being from this area we weren’t sure if that’s normal, but besides the ants the cleanliness was great. The outside plugs that we were trying to charge the cart rental kept tripping breaker, contacted owner and he said he’d had electrician out previously to fix but would get them out again. The grill needed some attention as it had a bunch of rust on cooktop that we had to spend a significant time to get back usable condition.
Communication was great from Michael! Lots of room in this 5 bedroom loved the 2 king master suites-pool and gym very close-room for 3 cars. Grill made cooking fun and kitchen had all the amenities we needed! Ice maker didn’t make much ice. Liked having the beach chairs and wagon-didn’t try out the bikes...will recommend! Update pictures as it’s much nicer than what the sight showed!

Thank you for the great review. We love our home.
I have had new pictures made for the listing which better reflect how beautiful our home is. Also, a new portable ice maker has been ordered to supplement the refrigerator ice maker.
Thank you for your comments

Our group was three couples, two single adults, and two children (9 years old and six months old) and the home fit us wonderfully. There is plenty of room in the public spaces, and the bedrooms fit each group very well. The location of the stairs is a nice touch ... they are situated so you really don't hear people walking up and down when you are in the bedrooms.
The kitchen is well-furnished, and the owner was helpful and responded quickly when we had questions. The neighborhood amenities are right by the house, too, and we took advantage of them all: pool, shuffleboard, putting green, bocce ball. And having ice cream and coffee shops in walking distance was a real treat!
We recently stayed at this home for a family vacation with a group of 12. While there were some positives, our overall experience was mixed and I wouldn’t choose this rental again.Pros:- The home is located in a quiet, gated community with very little traffic.- It’s far enough from the Destin congestion to feel peaceful but still close enough to reach attractions with a short drive.- The beach is about a 10-minute walk, though it’s not an easy stroll in the heat. Limited parking near the beach made having a designated driver a necessity.- The house itself is spacious and was clean. The beds were very comfortable.Cons:- The community pool, which was one of the big selling points for us, was closed for two of our days due to repairs. This was a huge letdown for our group, especially the kids.- We saw two cockroaches in the house—something you never want to see on vacation.- The internet went out multiple times. When I contacted the host, they confirmed an outage in the area but then suggested I call their internet provider–this doesn’t seem like something the guest should have to deal with.- Cell service inside the house was practically nonexistent, possibly due to the metal roof. It was great outside though.- There were so many rules and warnings about fines and extra charges that it made the stay more stressful than it should have been. It felt like we were walking on eggshells trying not to accidentally violate something.

It is disappointing the guests based their review on isssues outside my control.
1. Act of God such as lightening are not under my control The house was struck by lightening (as were many other properties), and the internet was damaged. It was repaired in 2.5 days which is probably a record for the beach. An outside outlet was also destroyed.
2. I do not provide cell phone service. Although hundreds of guests have been able to have phone service in the home, his did not work. This was likely due to the lightening storm.
3. Dead bugs are a fact in beach houses. The house is sprayed inside and out every 8 weeks. A few dead bugs can be found
4. The pool was closed due to guest damage to the filter system. I cannot control bad guest behavior.
5. It is not clear the rules he refers to. the Village has policies to protect the safety and enjoyment of our Village guests. We do charge for lost keys, keyfobs, dishes left in the bedrooms, and parking on the street. This is a first.
I have a special home in a residential community with many amenities, great restaurants and entertainment within walking distance. A beautiful beach and magnificent amenities. I am disappointed the greatness of the property was overshadowed by events out of my control
Had a great time with our friends and the house was great. The owners were easy to work with. Renting a golf cart was very helpful to get to the beach and back and also to explore the area.
We really enjoyed Micheal sharing his home with us. The beach was perfect for the whole family (we really enjoyed the white beach and the ocean water. The swimming pool was great for relaxing and tanning. The house was spacious and the layout was perfect and the village location was perfect and we felt safe.
There was so much to do besides swimming, great food and shopping, and biking.
Thanks again!
This property was everything they said it was. Clean, charming, comfortable for a family of nine it had plenty of space for all of us. We were celebrating our 50th anniversary and this was a special time for all of us to be together. Short trip to the beach by golf cart which I recommend you rent for your time here. Easy walk to the pool. We would come back here!
Everything was great do wish it was a little closer to beach be sure to rent golf cart before you get there there were none available when we got there
This Home had everything you could ask for. The owners were always available via text or email, and they provided a fully stocked home away from home! I will definitely stay here again! The neighborhood is nice and quiet and pool and games are right beside the house. The beds were all comfortable and bathrooms were upgraded nicely. It is a little farther from the beach than we would have liked but you can easily drive and drop of items and park. The living area and kitchen/dining were all open and very spacious! All my friends commented on how clean and well stocked this home was.
