Lake front, with Gulf View! 10 min walk to beach

Property was very run down. Grounds overgrown and not been cleared of debris in years. All exterior furniture rotten. Interior furniture old and dirty. Other than location to beach was a huge waist of money. My two adult kids and I travel VRBO all over fla and have never rented a place this bad. We are fla residents and enjoy traveling to other locations in the state. Also both shower drains clogged, dryer broken. List goes on and on. That's it. Hope anyone headed there reads this review.

This was a very nice rental. We really enjoyed our stay. The view was the best part. We just sat on the roof for hours chatting and enjoying the cool air. Really enjoyed our stay!

I really enjoyed my stay here. It was very close to the beach and only a short walk. We always try to stay in the Blue Mountain area when we have a beach trip. I loved the view from the roof top deck. Really enjoyed our stay.

We spent the end of 2017 here and we couldn't have been happier. We loved the views and we sat on the upper deck and watched the sunrise and sunset several times during our trip. We don't have views like this at home and it was just great. Really loved that it was located near a lake too, so it was almost like we had two vacation, a lake trip and a beach trip! Well worth the money and we couldn't have been happier!

It was really awesome being able to stay in this place. We definitely loved being able to see the ocean from this place. I thought it was really cool that the ocean was so close and there was also a lake right there as well. We had a great time just chilling out by the lake. We did try out the canoe as well and it was awesome. We did a lot of walking/biking everywhere while we visited so it was nice to be able to relax at this house in our down time.

Home is set up really nice for a family vacation. It is private but close to everything. The view is killer! Home is set up over multiple levels and was great to let my kids have their own space. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this blue mountain house for an over the weekend stay. We were very satisfied with the location of the property; a quick access to the beach and nice views of the gulf and the lake from the house, and just because of that we would recommend this rental for a friend. Two things were not as satisfactory; first, the house condition (old building that need some renovation, and it wasn't as clean as we have expected, dirty bed comforts, dirty floor, and dirty tables, surprising because a tenant is charged $300 in advance for the cleaning crew to clean after the rental). Second, we've arrived late on Friday and picked up the keys from the safe box in the front and opened the main door but were surprised that the other doors that give you access to the house were locked using a digital entry key that was not given to us. Management could not respond in-time because of the late arrival and we had to get in the house from the balcony and open the door from inside which wasn't safe nor was convenient. Management followed up the next day to make sure we were in after that problem and they apologized for the inconvenience). Again, overall we recommend this rental because the location is awesome.

The girls all stayed upstairs, which gave them some privacy and the living area and kitchen worked great as a place listen to music and 'hangout'. My wife and I were downstairs which worked well for us too! The house is located near the end of the road, which made it nice and quite. The roof top deck has a wonderful view of the gulf. The beach is a short walk away and the lake in the back was bonus. The house was well equiped and Sand Dollar was very responsive. Blue Mountain is close enough to Grayton and Seaside to easily get there, but out of the crowded mix. We really enjoyed our stay.

My extended family of eight just finished a week at this wonderfully updated beach bungalow. The grandparents had the downstairs to themselves complete with their own kitchen and living room, while the parents and kids/cousins (four in all, ages 7 to 12) enjoyed the upstairs. Our kids were really excited by the novelty of paddling the SUPs we brought through the dune lake to the beach. As the parents, we appreciated paddling the beach gear right to our beach spot, instead of fighting for parking and hauling it over acres of sand. Where the lake meets the ocean has always been a popular beach spot for our family. The lake itself makes for a great evening paddle in the canoe included with the property rental. The quiet cul-de-sac of individual homes made for great bike riding while still being accessible to ice cream, Grayton Beach, and other amenities. We enjoyed dining in the crow's nest up top, on the back porch, and on the deck overlooking the lake. A great rental for a family or anyone looking to get away from the condo hordes.

The location of this home in Blue Mountain beach is wonderful. The backyard is right off the lake which provides beautiful views, wildlife, and great kayaking. The beach walk is very close and one can bike with ease to all the local shops/Seaside. The set up of the house is ideal for an extended family or large families wanting a bit of privacy. Our family of five had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy. The house is well maintained and the owners are very pleasant. We did not want to leave and can't wait to return.
