There were a few things missing (towels, blow-up mattress) upon arrival. The host was very responsive and took care of it quickly. The kitchen items are a bit lacking for such a large house, but it worked out fine. Great experience all around.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The only thing minor issues are that the carpets and sheets were a little stained and there was some paint touch ups that needed to be done, but other than that the house was clean. The only other issue was that there is no AC. We knew this when we booked, but the house was very warm during our stay, so having AC would have been made the experience better. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay with Blue Water again if they have homes with AC.

Group of friends that meet annually. Consensus was that this was one of the best properties. Clean, well stocked, great location, garage, easy manager to work with. Lots of stairs, but that is how you get the killer view from the rooftop.

Check in was easy and the hosts answered my questions in a prompt manner. The Kitchen was modern the place was very clean the roof top deck was awesome. spent a lot of time up there for sunsets and coffee in the mornings. Most things are walk close.Literally the sand is 40 yards from the garage. The beach is not as busy straight out from the home more busy down by Belmont Park so that was nice.I will stay with Bluewater Vacation Homes again they were great through the whole process.

Beach Getaway

This is the perfect location for a relaxing beach vacation. The property was clean and the rooftop balcony allowed for amazing views of ocean sunsets. The variety of restaurants and activities in Belmont Park means that everything you need is within walking distance. We also appreciated the garage space since parking in the area is difficult to find.

Nice house

This is a nice house and the management company is very proactive. The only downside for us was that the neighborhood is very loud and there is no AC so if you close the windows to block out the noise so you can sleep it gets very hot.

Great place

This is a large 3-floor place steps from the beach. You get a parking garage, I believe 3 rooms with the master suite being pretty large. The second and third floor has belcanies with tables and chairs so you can enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee while listening to the waves crashing. The only downside is you don’t have a view of the ocean until you go up to the roof top. I found the rough top to be the best area to enjoy the views and soak up the sun if you don’t want to be at the beach. A lot of these rental companies down allow you to smoke on their property, but you can walk along the board walk where no one cares.
