Best place for a relaxing quiet visit

This place is the best. The owners have it all covered. My wife and I are both red heads and completely forgot umbrellas for the beach. It was so cool to walk on the back porch and find all the beach essentials you need. The entire house is so cozy and quiet. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

Spring Break

We brought our family here for spring break and loved it! The house is gorgeous and the interior design is top notch. We loved that we did not need to bring anything extra with us. The location is perfect to the beach as well as a quick drive over to the Seaside square. There is no need to leave Blue Mountain Beach though, it is quaint and has awesome restaurants nearby. 10 out 10 recommend!!

Awesome little gem in Blue Mountain

This was a great vacation home. Beautifully appointed with all the amenities you could ask for - plenty of towels and starter supplies. Location was excellent, in a quiet neighborhood, easy walking distance to Blue Mountain town and beach, and driving distance to everything else along 30A. What really sets it apart was the owners excellent communication and responsiveness. We had a minor issue arise and John took care of it right away- it’s those little details that really make a difference.10 stars!

Darling beach cottage with great family amenities!

We loved our stay with our young children at Bluefish! The home was so beautifully decorated and stocked with all of the beach toys and chairs you could want for a young family. In our time away from the beach our kids had a blast playing in the fenced in front and back yards and enjoying the hot tub. John was always helpful and great with recommendations. An all around great experience!

Great Beach House

House was newly renovated in great location. Owner was very responsive and gave great information about the area. The house has everything including upscale washer / dryer among other high end appliances. There were also plenty of beach towels, chairs, umbrella, wagon, kids toys, etc. Beach entrance is also very walkable. There was easy access to our car as the residence is a true free standing house with everything on one level, so very kid friendly. Would definitely consider staying here again! 😊

Adorable cozy beach cottage

Bluefish cottage was a great place to stay during our time in Santa Rosa. The cottage is exceptionally clean, incredibly comfortable, and tastefully decorated with a consistent theme and colors. The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were cozy, and bathrooms large and inviting. The covered porch was a great place to enjoy our morning coffee sitting in the rocking chairs while watching the kids play cornhole which was provided. The location is excellent. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood that is walking distance to several dining and shopping options. We could walk to dinner at Red, Fish Taco, an ice cream stand, happy hour at Cowgirl, breakfast at Blue Mountain Bakery, organic grocery for dinner supplies or beach snacks, or coffee and smoothies down by Coffee Shoppe, among several other options. The distance to the beach is great, where you could walk to the Blue Mountain Beach access where there are lifeguards, rinsing stations, and restrooms. Beach supplies (chairs, toys, skimboard) were provided and in great, well working condition (no rusty beat up chairs like i've gotten at other places). We chose to go to a quieter end of the beach with less facilities and no parking lot. We used our car to drop off chairs and bags and most of our party, while I drove back and used one of the provided bikes to ride back to the beach since there was minimal parking in that area. A great stay overall.

Great, quiet stay.

Bluefish Cottage is in a quiet neighborhood just across from Blue Mountain Beach. It’s close and convenient to the beach and all shops, restaurants, etc. in town, all of which are easy to get to by foot or via the bikes provided with the house. The house seems recently renovated and up to date. We very much enjoyed our stay in the house and would recommend it to anyone considering a stay in the area.

Charming Coastal Vibes ...

Bluefish Cottage is an easy walk, skip or bike ride from Blue Mountain Beach. The cool coastal decor is bright and airy, the spaces are cozy yet functional. We really appreciated the fenced-in backyard with string lights, hot tub, grill, patio table, and yard games. Bikes, beach chairs, towels, and umbrella are provided. John and Kelley are lovely hosts and promptly answered all questions and offered lots of helpful suggestions to fully enjoy 30A.

We had an excellent stay at this property! We were going to be arriving late in the evening so the owner turned lights on, hot tub on, and got the place ready for us. We didn’t need to contact the owner for any reason during our stay thankfully but I would imagine they would be very reponsive if we did. It was a little chilly outside week we were there so the hot tub was a nice feature. Cottage was super cute and very clean, love the coziness of it. Stocked well with everything! Great location, close to everything. Bikes were a great feature and we rented a golf cart. Would highly recommend this cottage!

Quiet Cozy Home close to the Beach

The home was warm and inviting and our family of four loved all the updates. The home was big enough for us and the back patio and front fenced in area was great for the kids to play in and around. The owners were hospitable and reached out before we arrived. The location is close to the 30A but far enough away to remain quiet. The closest beach access was less than a 10 minute walk away. Best to get there early if you want a parking spot. If you are not renting chairs my advise would be to walk a few hundred yards down the beach from the stair beach access. You will be glad you did as the day goes on and the beach gets busier. Many great restaurants are close by. Staying in this home really made our week in Florida a great vacation with great memories.
