Great location!

Beautiful, well kept property steps away from the beach! Well suited for a family vacation without the hassle of linens, bath towels and misc home items. This house is well stocked. Check in and check out was a breeze without the hassle of returning keys. The company was clear on how to leave the house, which I appreciated.

Great time with a great view

This is our second time staying here, overall the house is very nice and in decent condition. However, we did notice some unclean dishes and some animal spots on the rugs and floor mats. We will definitely stay here again for the easy beach access and pet friendliness.

Gorgeous beach view

This property was perfect for our family of four to have a relaxing beach vacation. The house is beautifully decorated, had all of the things we needed, and is just steps away from the beach. Everything was exceptionally clean. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back!

Beautiful property, impeccably clean and WOW - the view!

We had a fabulous stay at Blue Searenity! I really can't say enough good about this property and the management company. I contacted them several times and they responded so quickly each time. We decided to leave for our trip a day early due to bad weather and they were so flexible and accommodating with each interaction. The property was beautiful and impeccably clean! It looked just like the photos. It was well-stocked with towels, dishes, kitchen items, etc. The beds were comfortable. We felt right at home. The view was unbeatable, and we loved walking right onto the beach! The beach was full of shells, which was fun for our family, too. I highly recommend Blue Searenity for anyone staying in the Gilchrist/Crystal Beach area!

Fabulous stay at Blue Searenity

Bright, new, clean and right on the beach. This is a wonderful beachhouse with a lovely short path through the dunes and in a quiet part away from traffic. The deck is large with solid chairs to sit and watch the moon rise. (We did wish for a table for morning coffee and meals.) The kitchen is well equipped and bedroom linens are lovely. We set up a pop up on the beach and appreciated the very short walk back for refills. Our puppies loved it too. We will be back.
