Oct 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This is a lovely, clean and well equipped house with plenty of space for two. The house is actually located on the corner of Zanzibar and Mission Boulevard, the main drag through the location. That means it can be a bit noisy. And we found it impossible to maneuver into the small garage, which meant we were involved in the daily hunt for a street parking space. But we managed! The walk to the beach is a quick couple of minutes and the house is well stocked with towels. plenty of good restaurants close by. Can't fault the house but the location and parking challenges were a little disappointing. ##### Keith E.

It’s completely remodeled with nice appliances, bathrooms, and furniture. We loved having the outdoor patio to relax on and enjoy the sunny mornings with our coffee. Literally steps from so many restaurants, shopping, and the beach. Very responsive property management. The one car garage is small, but fit our Subaru pretty well. We did have a 2nd vehicle and parked along mission Blvd and once we found a spot we didn’t move again until we left. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! ##### Julie H.

Aug 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic little house Great location This place was perfect. Great location to the beach and bayside. I was hesitant due to it being right off Mission Blvd, but it was totally fine and not noisy at all. The garage was a bit tricky to get into. I recommend backing into it. The house interior is great and so clean. It had all the amenities to cook and clean and the air conditioning makes it so worth the cost. Grill works great as does the oven and stovetop. All the appliances are top notch. The owners really made the house a home away from home. Would definitely stay here again. I would recommend a fly swatter if I had one tiny complaint. 5 ⭐️ ##### Colleen S. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincent I. Nov 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Chic Cottage The attention to detail and cleanliness of the cottage is impeccable. The photos are accurate but do not do justice to the physical space.There is nothing lacking to make your stay stress free. Bluewater Vacation rental was in constant contact to ensure that if anything was needed they were there to help. We were also graciously given supplies for our Thanksgiving visit. The only issue with the cottage is the proximity to Mission Boulevard which at times can be disruptive during the day if you want to relax on the enclosed patio but is not an issue during the night. In short, I would consider staying here again and most certainly consider any other property managed by Bluewater. ##### Vincent I. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melody S.

Perfect for our family of 4\. Lovely path to the beach and walkable to local restaurants and stores. The property was clean and exactly as described. We fit a Mitsubishi outlander sport in the garage just fine. We really appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella too! ##### Jill O. Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marketia S.
