Family vacation

We really enjoyed the space - enough for the 12 of us. Good seating areas. The pool was excellent and put to good use due to the beach flags. Short distance from the public beach access. Lovely time spent with family.Some of the beds are showing

Great stay

Despite the rain and red flags during our entire stay we had a great time! Cute and clean property. Easy check in. Perfect location. Could use some updates to the kitchen and patio area but doesn’t deter from the experience. We had a great stay! Would definitely book again with this property.

Great Mini Vacay

We had stayed in the Blue Mountain Beach area before so we knew we liked the area. The house was great and could have accommodated more guests than we had pretty comfortably. We liked the backyard pool area and spent some afternoon/evening time hanging out. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend to someone else.

Great house, great price

The location was great regarding proximity to beach and of course the pool. The area is relaxing and is within 25 min of nore happening things. I would stay again with my only concern being we saw a property owner along the beach have the police remove someone from the beach area directly in front of their house.

A gem

Everything about this place was wonderful! Rhetta was timely on answering questions before our arrival. Julie was great about answering a few questions while we were there. Pool was heated to a very comfortable temp. The heated outdoor shower was great to get sand off. The house was very clean! We found how difficult it is to keep a beach house clean with all the sand and had a new appreciation of how clean the house was when we arrived. The walk to the beach and ice cream shop is very close. We walked to rent bikes and rode around for 2 days. Would recommend this house to anyone!

Beautiful house close to beach

Had a wonderful stay here! Four couples, 3 small children, loved being so close to the beautiful beach. House was well equipped and clean with comfortable beds. The outdoor pool and patio were plenty big for our group and enjoyed by all. We had all our meals at the covered picnic table. My wife and I (the grandparents) enjoyed our private retreat in the carriage house. Highly recommended!

Great stay with family and friends

This was our second visit to Coral Reef. We love this property! Blue Mountain is close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping without the congestion of some of the other areas on 30A. The property is beautiful and well appointed. Everything you could need for traveling with family and/or friends. We plan to continue our tradition of Fall at Coral Reef again next year - very pleased with our stay!

I can’t give enough praise to this beautiful property! It was extremely clean, was better supplied than any property we have rented before, and the pool and beach access were wonderful and convenient (2 blocks to the beach!)The owner was very responsive to any questions I had, and Julie, the property manager was in touch from the beginning and very, very helpful! Our extended family of 10 had the most wonderful time at this property!

Perfect location

The property is in an excellent location. Close to the beach and down a quiet road. It’s also close to the Creamery and other great restaurants. Plenty of pool toys and chairs were made available. The pool area was wonderful and key to an awesome Florida vacation. The pool area was shaded for most of the afternoon which was nice when a break from the sun was needed. Beautiful views from the top patio. More refrigerator space in the main house would really be the main concern when spending a week vacation at one location with a large group. Overall, wonderful property.

2019 Family Vacation

This is the perfect beach house for a family vacation! An easy walk to the beautiful beach and a great pool to come back to while grilling! All of the bedrooms nice size and very comfortable beds. Very nicely decorated and very clean. The only thing that I would change about this home is needing a pantry area for all of our groceries. We had to store them on the counter area. We will definitely be back to rent this beautiful home! Thank you for sharing with us! The Shadbolts

We loved the house, amenities, and location!

The property needs a little TLC. We had AC issues the first night, sewage issues the rest of the stay. It was not enjoyable to sit out by the pool because of the smell. The property manager is very responsive and offered to have the sewage fixed, but it required digging and workers during our stay. We opted for them to wait. Needs a few updates in toilets and kitchen sink faucet, caulking in kitchen. Cleaning in over the garage room has been neglected. Anything you need the property manager will take care of, though. We would stay again.

Great place for the holidays

The property was great - fit all of our families needs and then some. We has 2 mixed families with adult children who loved the proximity of the beach as well as the walking paths in the area. Bedrooms were great and private as well as the swimming pool and backyard. Wished kitchen was bigger, because when you have 4 people trying to cook it is a struggle. Also I realize covid is present, but would have liked to save some of the grocery items we did not use to allow the next family not to have to purchase same items. Also was surprised to know that there were no additional cleaning supplies available to use, we had to purchase those ourselves. Examples are toilet paper, garbage bags, paper towels, as well as disinfectant wipes. Communication was great with care taker and owner prior to arrival. Over all it was a great get-away for our families for the holidays. We would all stay there again.

AMAZING !

What a wonderful location and property. Cleanest place we have ever stayed. Paper products provided. Pool and beach toys plentiful. Julie was our contact person and she was always on the ball and helped us tremendously. A huge shout out to property owner for allowing us to use their property and their great cleaning crew. We walked to the beach every day sometimes twice a day. We walked to ice cream shop everyday. Quiet street. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds comfortable. Appreciated the use of your games, puzzles and books.TVs for everyone to watch their own shows. Loved the quiet white sandy beach that went on for miles. Will definitely return. Our family of 10 had plenty of space to be separate but together. We ranged in age from 68 to 4. Safe quiet place to take a young family. Highly recommend this property.
