Bluefin Cottage Review

Loved the Bluefin Cottage! It was very thoughtfully laid out and stocked with supplies that made our anniversary trip so much easier!!! The quality of the finishes in the home set it apart from many others. Hope to stay again soon!

Perfect!

The house was beautiful and had everything we needed! The pool was small but perfect for what we needed. Absolutely LOVED that we had a private patio and pool and literally 2 houses from a gorgeous beach! Highly recommend and can't wait to return!
