Our stay was great! The kitchen had more “supplies” than we anticipated, which was nice. The outdoor area could use some clean-up…a leaf blower to clear all the mess from the trees, power wash of the pool furniture and deck.

Great vacation rental, close to everything
Overall we had a short but great stay. The location is close to everything (including the beach). The property is a good size for 2 families. The bunk bed in the upstairs hallway was very convenient. The property manager Parker was very helpful and informative when we arrived. The kitchen is very well equipped - we were even able to bake a cake!

The house is even bigger than it looks in the photos and was very clean. Easy walking distance to the beach. Pool was clean but just a bit smaller than the photos look, but we still enjoyed it thoroughly! We loved that it was pet friendly but the only real negative is there isn’t a great place to walk your dog at the house. However, the sidewalk at the front of the neighborhood was convenient enough. Also, very easy walking distance to some great restaurants.

Katie, We're delighted to hear that the house exceeded your expectations in terms of size and cleanliness. It's great that you found it easy to walk to the beach and enjoyed the pool despite its size. We're pleased that you were able to find a convenient spot for walking your dog in the neighborhood. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Great communication with owner
Unfortunately, my husband and I came down with Covid right before our planned family vacation to Blue Mountain Beach, so we were unable to join our kids and grandkids on our family trip. Being that I was the person who booked our trip, I had to contact Ray to let him know of our situation. He was very happy to let the kids and grandkids stay, even though they weren't the one's to book the stay. There was a bit of confusion upon arrival about a couple of things, but the problems were resolved right away, and all went well. My son said that Ray was in contact with him daily to make sure all was going as planned throughout the trip. My daughter said the house cleaners did an immaculate job of cleaning the home, and that the home was well stocked, and all the beds were very comfortable. The walk to the beach was very quick and the beach was beautiful. In the information about the home, it says that 5 bikes are included in the rental, but that is no longer the case. For insurance reasons, there are no longer bikes included, but Ray informed me of that when I inquired. I had rented 7 bikes from Big Daddy's Bike rental at a 10% discounted rate by mentioning Blue Mountain Beach Rentals. The bikes were great, and the crew at Big Daddy's were very kind and helpful. There are bikes trails in the area, and my family enjoyed having the bikes to explore the area. There are a lot of great places to dine nearby, and some shops, so no need to do much driving at all. My family said it was a wonderful vacation and they all had a great time. Thanks, Ray for everything.

We are very sorry y'all were not able to join your family at The Breeze, Rhonda. They had a great time but I'm sure it just wasn't the same without you. Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts, hope you can all make it back down to Blue Mountain Breeze again very soon!

Quick Family Getaway
We stayed at Blue Mountain Breeze for a quick vacation before our youngest headed back to college. The house was just as described and had plenty of space for the 11 of us. Ray was so responsive and quick to help with any questions we had. And, being pet-friendly was a huge plus too! The house was well-equipped and had everything we needed in the kitchen and around the pool. The only thing that would have made the stay easier is that it’s obvious there used to be a walkway to the street next to the beach, but looks like it got fenced off (maybe by the adjoining neighborhood?). It would be amazing for that cul-de-sac to have a gate with a code. I understand it was probably used by way too many people and was not ideal as it was, but would have made the walk to the beach(which was still not too bad) easier. But, the location was great and we will definitely plan on coming back :). Thank you, Ray, for making our stay amazing!
- Posted: 8/21/2022
Thanks for the great review of your stay, Julie! I'm happy y'all had such a wonderful vacay, that's our goal, to make it as easy as possible for you to create happy memories. All the owners in our cul-de-sac concur with your opinion re the walk-through. Our neighbors to the south decided to put up the fence, not much we could do about it. But it's all good, like you say, we're so close to the beach access that it makes little difference. Thanks again for choosing The Breeze for your family beach fun, hope y'all can make it back down again soon!

Fun in the sun!
The location was great. Close enough to the beach where the walk was about 5 mins to actually get to the beach. Had a couple minor issues/questions that popped up but Ray was attentive when I texted him. Overall, a great place to stay and would return in the future. Thanks Ray!

Pleased with our selection of this Veteran Owned property
Large house with plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen was a great size to accommodate multiple adults when meal prepping. Pool was nice to have when the day called for rain and when the public beach area was crowded. Short walk to Blue Mountain Ice Cream shop (our group was there every day), restaurants, beach, souvenir shop, etc. with wide sidewalks on 30A. Family friendly area. The owner was great to work with throughout this process, he also provided additional information on local activities, locations of stores, restaurants, etc.

Family vacation 2022 was perfect staying at the Breeze
Such a beautiful home in a quiet area of Blue Mountain Beach, with ice cream shop, bakery and beach within walking distance. The pool was the highlight at the end of the day and HUGE dining room table was perfect gathering spot for our large family. Ray is an exceptional host and easy to work with. Everything worked great, kitchen had everything needed, and rooms are laid out exactly as described. Will be on the top of our list for next family trip.

Blue Mountain Breeze
The Blue Mountain Breeze is a family friendly property in a good location with a short block and 1/2 walk to the beach. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals, the refrigerator is large. There is a really nice dining table which seats 12 comfortably and a peninsula with seating for 3. The air conditioning and fans provide cool respite from the heat. It appeared to my family that all 3 sets of bunk beds were child safe only and not meant for adult use, however you could remove the mattresses for adults to sleep on the floor if necessary or use the new sleeper sofa or air mattress if needed. We enjoyed our stay!

Relaxation Destination
This property was truly a dream. Perfect fit for coworker friends who might want a little more room to spread out from one another that families don't necessarily need. Location is perfect! Easy walk to the beach in about 3 minutes. Loved the private pool! Entire area was great, not wild like a spring break town. Couldn't have asked for a better 40th birthday location!

The Breeze is a breeze
BlueMountain Breeze is well appointed with a beautiful interior and well-stocked with kitchen equipment. The VRBO listing is accurate to a T with respect to room desciptions. It is an easy walk to the beach and while the pool is small, it is great for just hanging out. There is a large Main Floor wrap around deck with plenty of seating opportunities and a really nice outdoor hanging bed. The proprietor is very responsive and easy to work with. There is a large grocery store nearby for stocking food for your stay. We had five adults, two children and a couple of dogs and the entire place was more than adequate and comfortable for all of us .

Wonderful Stay
Ray was a pleasure to work with! He is very responsive and helpful when we decided to bring a second pet at the last minute. We love the easy check in/out process too. The kitchen is well equipped. We have stayed primarily in private homes rather than hotels and feel that this is one of the better stocked kitchens because it included a variety of appliances. The kids used the blender daily making their own shakes. The rooms are big and spacious for large groups. We spent the majority of our time at the huge dinning table because we enjoy board games, table conversations, and eating meals together. Recommend renting a golf cart for the beach if you have someone with a disability of some sort. The beach access nearest the house has a lot of steps that can be tough but that has nothing to do with the property just a tip. We usually travel to a different beach every year but if we were visiting the area again, we would definitely want to stay with Ray.

Idyllic Beach Location
If emerald green waters everyday are your thing, then this is the house for you! Just a couple block walk to the beach. The house is very practical, well thought out, and appropriately furnished. The well stocked kitchen made meal prep easy. The large dining room high top gave us room to spread out and linger over meals including our Goatfeathers market seafood. The family room seating and tv were perfect for rain day movie watching. The well tended pool is a nice convenience. Ray is an excellent host and attentive communicator. We are already thinking about when we can return!

EMERALD COAST
Beautiful home nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac. About a 5 minute walk to the sugar white beaches with emerald tinged clear water. Coffee/ice cream shop a block away. Great options for local shopping. Bikes were available to use, but we never used them. Every option for dining, but we cooked most of our meals in the well equipped kichen. Ordered pizza one night at PIZZA BY THE SEA. Although we did not use, the home does have a grill. The private pool sets the home apart from others. Great to take a quick dip after a hot day at the beach. During our trip at the end of july, the beaches were very busy. You must be up by 7-8 am to have a chance to reserve a chair in person same day. We learned quickly to call a beach rental service in advance so we could sleep in and not worry about getting a prime spot the next day. We used redfish rentals. They were great to work with. We flew into the destin - ft walton beach airport (VSP). About an hour drive to the home. Very expensive and limited uber availability. Around $89.00 for our trip. Probably best to rent a car if you fly in. We ended up with 10 in our party. We all slept comfortably. Fell asleep multiple times on tne outdoor swinging bed. We played night golf at a local par 3/4. They light up the course which was nice for the florida heat to play at night. Owner very nice and accomodating. Would highly recommend.

Nice Place
We had 9 people staying. The layout of the house was good and kitchen well stocked with dishes and pots, etc. Convenient hose and shower for after returning from beach. Between when we rented and traveled, the shortcut to beach was blocked off which was a bummer. The walk wasn't too bad, but normally we'd have tried to find less of a walk. The pool was small but ok for our group. Could have used a few more bath towels, including kitchen towels, and a few more dishwasher pods. I was so paranoid I'd run out I washed most things by hand as this was not something I thought to bring and we shop before check in. We were told to bring coffee filters however, but there must have been 4 boxes left behind, now 5...lol. A few more beach chairs would have been great and patio furniture could use a refresh, but we had a good trip!

Family vacation
Fantastic location. The house was large enough for multiple groups of people. The private Pool was great, despite being smaller. Ray was an excellent communicator and addressed a cooling issue effectively. fYI once it was fixed the house was completely comfortable (the issue was a thermostat setting problem) It was the first time Florida water ever tasted decent out of the tap. We had a great time with perfect weather.

Spacious Vacation Home
Great home for family vacations. There's lots of room and beds if you are traveling with a large group. The home is 3 stories. The first floor is storage and is not accessible to renters. The main living area is on the second floor which also has one of the bedrooms and a bathroom. There is also a large porch/deck area on the second level. I really appreciated the gate with slide lock that will allow children and pets to enjoy the deck without accessing the exterior stairs. The kitchen is well stocked with small appliances, dishes, pots/pans, etc. There are a few bars and restaurants within a 5 minute walk of the home.

My friends and I stayed here and can I say WOW. The listing was dead on. The owner was quick to answer any questions we had and being as close to at the beach as possible was amazing. The pool was great for hanging out around the house when the beach was over-crowded. Absolutely would stay there again!

Great place for a family!
The house was clean, good size and very accommodating for our family. Great location! 1.5 blocks from the beach. A great ice cream shop a block away. We requested the pool heater to be on and it wasn’t when we first got there but Ray replied right away and made sure it got turned on. The pool was smaller than I thought it was going to be but our kids loved it! Nice to have a private pool when you take a break from the beach. We will be back! Thanks for the great beach vacation!!

Great but short stay!
Nice stay with weather in the low to mid 70s during the day and cool upper 60s at night. The house is beautifully furnished with lots of games for the kids. We loved the big couch and 70" LCD TV also. The roperty is very close to everything - beach, restaurants, bakeries, creamery, Irish Pub, etc

Great Stay
Had a great stay at Blue Mountain Breeze. House was well maintained with great amenities. Location is hard to beat with easy walk to beach and ice cream (two great things in life). Owner was very responsive and great to deal with before and during our stay. Would recommend Blue Mountain Breeze to anyone wanting a great vacation on 30a.

Great Long Term Stay
I stayed at Blue Mountain Breeze for almost three weeks. The short distance to the beach and the private pool are great. Also, very close to restaurants, walkable or short drive. The owner was super organized and ensured that my stay met my expectations. I worked from there as well, and the internet is strong - which is always key. The space is large and has everything you need. Thanks for the great stay!

We had the best weekend. We’re only sad we didn’t stay longer.
We loved our experience at Blue Mountain Breeze. The house was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The heated pool was wonderful. It was so nice to be able to entertain the kids outside, even in the middle of January. It’s a super short walk to the beach, restaurants, Blue Mtn Bakery and Blue Mtn Creamery. The Ice cream shop was closed but there were plenty of open businesses. My husband and I both snuck off for runs along the beach and back through the state park. We definitely will come back. Ray the owner is awesome! Highly recommend!

Great Family Friendly Stay
We just wrapped up a 2 week stay in Blue Mountain Beach and enjoyed a wonderful retreat from Chicago’s winter. The home is close to a breathtaking beach and a beautiful bike path that leads to Grayton Beach and the surrounding nature trails. We have an 18 month old baby and were thrilled that the house was equipped with a crib, hi-chair, and working baby gates so we did not need to bring any of those items. We rented a bike with baby trailer and got a very reasonable rate from Big Daddy’s Bike shop only 1/2 a block away. The other 4 bikes provided by the house were in good shape and great for getting around. We had a bit of rain and some chilly weather (being there in January) but were able to enjoy board games and the heated pool on those days. We cooked in almost every night in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed fresh local seafood from Goatfeathers (a nice bike ride down the road next to a delicious ice cream shop.) We will definitely return, possibly with another family, as we found the home more than ample for our family of 5.

Amazing Winter Holiday
It was just wonderful to spend a week at Blue Mountain Breeze. It was a beautiful house with a 5-minute walk to the beach and the heated pool was warm enough that the family could swim in January. I definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great beach getaway.

Perfect 30A spot!
We rented this house for the week of Thanksgiving with the intent of social distancing our family of 4 in a better locale, and it could not have been more perfect! The house was large and well equipped. Beds and furniture were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for cooking meals at home, which is what we did for our entire stay. We love 30A and all of the local restaurants and would normally be frequenting them during our visit, but with the pandemic we opted to stay in and this house was perfect for that. The pool is great, albeit a bit on the smaller side, but was just fine for us and our two kids. The beach is a short 5 minute walk, and it was not crowded during our stay and we felt like we were able to comfortably spread out. Ray was great to work with and easy to get ahold of. He contacted me when I first booked to go over any questions I had, and again right before our trip and then after we had checked in. Prior to this we've stayed further east on 30A, and I actually prefer this spot as it seems to be a little less commercial and just a slower overall pace. My one suggestion would be that if you plan to do much bike riding, rent bikes as the ones that come with the property are a little rough. Which is to be expected for bikes stored outside in this climate. They would be fine for a few quick trips, but since we planned to do a fair amount of riding we opted to rent from Big Daddy's just down the road and were glad we did. Overall this property was absolutely perfect and is an incredible value for the location and amenities you get, I would absolutely rent it again...and will likely do so!

The house was huge, more space than we had imagined from the pictures. The master is amazing and we loved being able to take a dip in our own private pool. Everything was clean and tidy, and Ray was always available when needed. We had a great time and will definitely stay again when we visit the area.

'Secluded' Spot
We loved the ‘seclusion’ this property provided as the home is tucked away at the back of a small cul-de-sac. Trees surround the back porch and pool creating a more private feel, which we loved. With a fish market down the road, a well-stocked kitchen, and a grill, making delicious seafood meals was easy. Plus, there is a great Publix nearby. The owner genuinely cares about your experience and is easily accessible by phone. Will definitely look to book here again!

Perfect for big families and groups!
We all had the best time! The most impressive part of our interaction was definitely the communication with the property owner. Ray went above and beyond, even months before our trip! Next I’d say was location, was a short walk to the beach even for little legs, took us maybe five minutes. We were surprised as to how much bigger the home was in person vs the pictures. There were a few pieces of constructive criticism we were able to give Ray and he was appreciative to have the information to address with his cleaning services. We would definitely recommend this home to big families and groups and hope to get to stay here again in the near future!
