Short bike ride to the beach, restaurants, and fun activities. Accommodated our family of 6 adults very comfortably. Looking forward to returning! Thank you!
We had a 3 night stay for a birthday weekend. We enjoyed the house and the pool. Comfortable beds and large rooms. Decorations were beachy themed and fit the house. Quiet neighborhood and
the bikes were fun and nice to have. We saw two deer in the neighborhood at an empty house in the front yard eating. Owners very nice and responded quickly to requests. Thank you for sharing your beach house. It is nice and we felt at home during our stay.
We had a spectacular week! What a wonderful & inviting home that had all that we needed for an amazing family vaca! The bikes and beach equipment came in very handy. We rode to Grayton Beach and around every day! The pool was nice, clean and not crowded at all! It was perfect to get up early and get your spot on the beach to enjoy all day! The Creamery was phenomenal as well and my daughter loved the snow cones as well. I could go on and on. If we had a question or concern, the owners were very prompt to respond. Thanks for sharing your beautiful beach home with us. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back to Blue Mountain again! Our new fav place!
The house was very well equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of starter items such as trash bags, TP, laundry pods and dishwasher pods. The small welcome bag was super thoughtful . We used the pack n play and my kids loved the bunkroom toy bin and all the beach toys in the outdoor closet. We rode a few of bikes. They were a little worn/rusty and we did have a chain fall off during a ride but it fixed easily. The biggest downside (at no fault of the owners), the pool was closed for the first 5 days of our stay so we only used it once and the women's bathroom was out of order as well. Definitely recommend using the cut through to the beach. Lovely property, would stay again.
We loved the cottage and the great neighborhood. It was perfect for 6 adults and 2 ten year olds. Beds and bathrooms were great. Wish there were mirrors in bedrooms. Also we could have used more towel bars. A row of hooks in bedrooms would have been great.
Upstairs balcony and front porch were used a lot. Kids loved the bikes. Had to put chain back on one. Appreciated the beach chairs and wagon but chairs Starting to rust. Due to COVID we grilled a lot. Propane may need refilled.
Blue Mountain is perfect. Rosemary Beach and Seaside have gotten way too crowded for us. We look forward to coming back.
This was one of my favorite vacations. We have been coming to the florida panhandle for over 30 years. Great house, great location. The only thing i didnt like was the pool , the water was cloudy everyday. We were there when they were suppose to be cleaning it. He didnt do much to clean it . He did take a pic.to show he had been there. Yall need a new pool person.
This house had a very equipped kithen for cooking and with the high prices and long waits for eating out, we did a lot of cooking. Publix was only a 7 minute drive. We had some rain and storms during our stay so our teen boys joined a gym in Grayton and the moms did yoga at Yoga Bar which was a wonderful yoga experience. The house is walking distance to Red Fish Village and the shortcut path made it even closer. Red Fish Village has shops and restaurants. The Creamery Ice Cream on the way to and from the closest beach is top notch homemade ice cream and homemade waffle cones! The house had one good adult bike when we were there and some smaller kid bikes, but renting bikes from Sweet Escapes for $50 a week and they deliver and pick up was super convenient. Lots of boogy boards and beach chairs at the house and kids' sand toys. The location was great and the neighborhood is very peaceful and cute. The pool was super close and nice. We rode bikes every day and the 30A bike trail was super close. House was clean and we didn't see one bug the entire week which is amazing for a beach house! We had 10 people in our party. Two families with 4 teenagers between us and we all had a fabulous time. The owners/managers were super quick to respond whenever I had questions. We would absolutely love to stay here again!
This is an excellent property! The owners spend extra time paying attention to every detail! We had a fabulous time, memories were made to last a lifetime!
We had such a fun girls trip at this location. The house is a quick bike ride to the beach and a cute little restaurant/bar shopping center!! Such a cute, family-friendly town that is less expensive than Seaside but just as cute! Karen was a great host and answered any questions throughout our stay!
Lovely home in a quiet and convenient neighborhood. Heated pool and 6 bikes for the bike path. Great food nearby (driving distance) and the most beautiful beach!
Perfect stay for family gathering! Neighborhood had lots of kids. The pool was close and fun. This home was in the middle of all activities: Blue Mountain Creamery, beach of the Gulf , Red Fish Taco, Blue Mable’s! Bike rides to Shunk Gulley was fun. The kitchen was great to make meals. Sitting on the porch in the evenings. Just can’t say enough nice things about the home.
Great stay for an early spring break. The house worked well for our two families. It was very nice having two master bedrooms. Easy walk to the beach and the heated pool was great for the cool temps! The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook. Will definitely rent again!
We really enjoyed our week at Starfish cottage! The property was just as described. Walking distance to the beach was easy and the neighborhood was lovely. We would definitely visit again!
I have never been to a property so well equipped for kids. So nice to have everything needed! We loved the neighborhood and the area! Will come again!!
