We loved staying here. The communication with the host was amazing, the location was within walking distance to restaurants, ice cream and the ocean. The pool was perfect for when we wanted a break from the ocean. We had a great time and are already planning a return trip!

Great Beach House!

We loved staying here with friends and family. It is a 1 minute walk from the beach and has a lovely pool that we enjoyed lounging in throughout the day. The owner, Todd, is easy to reach and responded to all my questions very quickly! We will probably rent again!

Distance to the beach is amazing!! Owner is great also! Very responsive and had all information to us well ahead of time! There were several storms and bc the property has a lot of trees, the pool had leaves and dirt (expected with weather). Quick message to him and someone was out same day! We had zero issues. And would recommend to anyone! It’s definitely a property that we will be keeping on our list for future visits.

First trip to Blue Mountain Beach

And we love it! The Palms Cottage was a home away from home. All 6 adults and 3 children had plenty of room. We especially loved resting in the private pool after a hard morning in the waves. We were so close to the beach and the ice cream parlor! I would recommend the Palm cottage and hope to return! Thanks to the owner who was always ready to help!

Excellent location, very close to the beach!

My family really enjoyed their spring break stay at this house. The location was perfect, so close to the beach. The pool was nice and well heated, the kids loved it. The house was within walking distance to a few restaurants and an ice cream shop. The owner was very quick to respond and help with the few hiccups we ran into. Only suggestions would be to provide beach towels and floats for the pool, but those can easily be rented or bought for the stay. Would recommend this stay for anyone wanting a nice beach location with a pool!

Wonderful beach home

Could not ask for a more perfect beach home...I say home instead of house because that is how you feel in this terrific home. Steps to the beach, creamery, and private pool. What more could you ask? Thank you, Todd, for sharing this wonderful blessing and allowing us the use of this beautiful home on such short notice. You are as terrific as your home!

Palm Cottage

Overall the property is in a fantastic location, only a block from the ocean. The road has fairly high traffic during the day with foot traffic, golf carts and cars… but was quiet at night after 9 pm or so. It is very convenient to the ocean, the bike trail, shopping, and restaurants on 30A. The house itself is a bit dated and needs a good deep cleaning and refresher/remodel. The pool was smaller than nearby properties, but was serviced while we were there and very enjoyable. We enjoyed our stay at Palm Cottage very much. The owner was responsive and accommodating to questions.

Perfect!

This is our 5th or so stay at Palm Cottage and this year we stayed for TWO WEEKS. It was perfect!!! We had our two youngest children with us (13 and 16) and we all enjoyed our stay. The beach was beautiful and the small walk is no bother. The pool is always clean and very cool. We love to go out in late afternoon and read in the shade. Of course, the ice cream shop, three doors down was a favorite. We consider Palm Cottage "our" beach house as it has become a family tradition. You will not be disappointed if you stay at this home.

Great Location

Very close to beach access, even though on the main road it sat back off the road with beautiful trees in front so it made it nice sitting on front porch where you could watch all the activity without being noticed. Having a small pool in back yard was also a plus it just needs to be repainted. The house was clean and we had ample room, the only suggestion I could give would be it needs some updating. Todd the owner was extremely helpful on any questions or problems that we had, he was always super quick to answer our texts and immediately took care of any concerns we had Everyone had a wonderful time at this location. I might add that it was an easy walk to some restaurants, gift shops, and the creamery that is famous at Blue Mountain

Summer Getaway

The location of this home was perfect, it is a very short walk to the beach. We had to wait about an hour later to check in because the cleaning lady was still there but it was fine. The house was great but could use a few minor upgrades. The pool could use some updating as well. It’s not bad, just some minor cosmetic upgrades on the floor and wall of the pools would make a huge difference. We would defiantly stay here again. Every time I sent Todd, the owner of the house a message, he responded ASAP. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!!

Location Great, Property Needs Work

You couldn't ask for a better location. It is literally a 3 minute walk to the beach. However, the property needs a lot of maintenance before it meets the 9 rating it had when we reserved. Pool furniture was broken, various items were strewn around the pool area, LOTS of fire ants. Blinds were broken, sink sprayer was broken, ice maker didn't work. And the couch smelled musty. The following are not items that reflect on the owner or house, just things you might want to know: the beach at the beach entry is hemmed in by 2 private beach spaces making it VERY crowded. We didn't realize until the second to last day that we could go east of the private area and there was lots of space. And if you are on T-Mobile, you get better reception on the beach than you do in the house.It was clean. And easy to contact to owner. Beds were comfortable, parking was great.The property had a 9 rating when we reserved, that was overstated.

VERY CLOSE TO BEACH. LOVE THE PRIVATE POOL!

House is close to beach, very easy walk to public access beach. Only 4 houses from the beach! Kids loved the private pool. Native, tropical foliage around pool blocked out any view of neighbors. Pool service came to clean pool during our stay. Blue Mountain Creamery and doughnut shop was a delicious treat. My family enjoyed visiting after dinner several times. Bedrooms are comfortable and nice size. Upstairs bunk bed had no rail, but owner was quick to response and shipped replacement to house. Kitchen is equipped for cooking and has newer appliances. However, if your family is larger and cooks a lot, I would recommend bringing large pots (shrimp boil), baking sheets, and sharp knives. Cookware and utensils in house are sufficient for simpler meals. Owner was professional, organized, and prompt in communications. Overall, I would recommend renting this house and my family looks forward to returning.

Great location but needs updating

The location is great and in close proximity to restaurants, coffee shops, just 200 yards from a public beach access, a 100 yards to 30A, and a straight shot drive to Hwy 98. Communication with the owner was great; access to the house was simple and we got quick responses when needed. Because you are on the main drive to the public beach access, the road can become very busy and crowded. There is a nice, wide sidewalk across the street so you could walk safely to the beach. Unfortunately, it was common for teens to demonstrate how loud their vehicles were while driving down this road so don't expect the quiet and off the beaten path feel you'd get in a more private area. We had to deal with the vacationers in the houses on each side of us staying up past midnight with loud music 3 out of 7 nights. We've dealt with these things at other homes so it's nothing new or unexpected. Our main dissatisfaction was with the shape of the house itself. The best way I can describe it is, it was built and decorated in the 90's and and hasnt been updated since. Some of the walls need patching and painting, replacement of window blinds, old appliances, window and door seals, etc. The paint in the pool and the surrounding perimeter has long worn off and the concrete is as rough as 30 grit sandpaper and just looks dirty. With some TLC of basic items in the common areas, this could be a great home. I'd hope to see some improvements made so we could stay here again and feel more satisfied.

Blue Mountain Jungle

My family has visited the Santa Rosa Beach area for the last nine years and have always had a good time. We like the Blue Mountain Beach area so we decided to stay at this propery during out July 2022 vacation. This area is wonderful, but this property has been neglected and is misrepresented in the pictures on the listing. Unfortunately, I am not able to add pictures to show potential renters the current conditions of the property. To start, the owner messaged me with all of the check in information and informed us that we could check in at 3:00. When we arrived at 3:00, the cleaning company was just getting there. They were not finished until 4:15 so we sat in the driveway and waited on them. As we sat there, we quickly realized how overgrown the yard was. The pine straw that is in the pictures has been overtaken by weeds, many of which were knee high. When we finally were able to get into the house, my kids were so excited to go check out the pool. They quickly came back in and told us that it was disgusting. I went out to check it out and they were right. In addition to the dirt that covered the majority of the bottom of the pool, there was also a dead frog floating on the top and a large, dead spider on the bottom. The tall grass and weeds were also present in the back of the property around the pool. The concrete around the pool was very dirty and needed swept or blown off. I messaged the owner right away to let him know about the late check in and the condition of the outside of the property. He told me that there had been some rain down there that may have caused the pool to get dirty. I told him the pools at the houses on both sides of him were crystal clear and asked if he could get someone out there to clean it up. He was able to get someone out there on Monday (regular cleaning day) so we were unable to use the pool for the first two days. The pool company informed me that the pool filter was not working and that he would let the owner know. He turned the filter off before he left and it unfortunately was not fixed during our stay. My boys and myself spent our mornings skimming the pool in hopes of being able to use it. Very disappointing to say the least. The inside of the house was as advertised, but could certainly use a deep cleaning...especially the bathrooms. We love Blue Mountain Beach and will certainly visit again in the future, but not at this rental.
