There is a large covered open air gathering area where you can cook and grill by the pool.

The beautiful large master bathroom has a walk in travertine shower and plenty of storage in a large walk in closet. There are two large, second floor queen bedrooms. Each bedroom is whimsically named and labeled by a painted starfish hanging on the door. There is 5th bedroom on the second floor with two twin bunk beds that sleeps four.

AREA ATTRACTIONS:
Seaside is a fantastic destination, most widely known for being featured in the Truman Show with Jim Carrey. Its incredible architecture has helped to make it famous but also its faithful replication of the kind of seaside town that used to be common up and down the coast. Seaside has its own Farmer's Market, post office, Repertory Theater and neighborhood school. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture that makes Seaside famous, There are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.
Bike rentals are available and within walking distance at Big Daddy's Bike Shop (2217 W. Co Hwy 30A) for you to take a ride along scenic 30A.
Bike over to Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for some homemade scoops that will have your taste buds coming back! You'll have an array of dining options to choose from!
The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Accurate description of the house. Bikes were a great addition. We had a family of 10 and had plenty of space. The pool area was a favorite for the kids. Plenty of chairs and never felt too crowded.

The house is absolutely amazing! We had such a wonderful time! Our family vacation was perfect because we picked this awesome getaway. The bikes were so great to jump on and ride the path to the beach. The front porch and the back porch were great to relax on and visit. The kitchen was huge, the rooms were lovely, and the dining room table was big enough to accommodate all of our family. The location is perfect! Right down the road from shops, places to eat and most importantly the beach. You won’t be disappointed.- Reviewed On: 6/13/2022

Pros: The place met our needs perfectly in the areas of size and location. The community pool area and use of bikes were awesome touches that we used multiple times and our family enjoyed.
Cons: Parking was very tight with a mini-van and Honda Pilot. Would be almost impossible with two larger vehicles like a Suburban and full sized 4-door truck. Just something to consider before booking.
All in all, we really enjoy the place and would book it again in a heartbeat. Thanks again RealJoy!- Reviewed On: 10/20/2021

Blue Mountain Ahhhhhhh
The neighborhood is lovely. The house suited our needs with the exception of having enough seating in the living room. And really this was only an issue in the evenings when we were “in for the night”. Bedrooms were very spacious. Make sure you run the bathroom fan in the upstairs hall bathroom when showering otherwise the steam will set the fire alarm off!!! Overall, a great place to stay for our two families(4 adults, 4 teens)- Reviewed On: 5/8/2021
