We stayed at the Ocean Blue at the beginning of June 2018! The house is beautiful and so wonderful! We loved that the house was right on the beach in a quiet community instead of right in the middle of the big touristy spot but still close enough to enjoy the “big city” experience!! The house had everything we needed and more!

Our group had a wonderful time staying at Ocean Blue! We loved how the house was right on the beach so we didn't have to walk or haul beach gear. The house is also in a quiet location. Since there aren't condos in the area and only houses, it was very peaceful.
We saw a lot of marine life while we were there. We caught a Manta Ray and even a sea turtle.
The house kitchen came fully stocked with everything we needed to cook. There were even some seasonings left from other vacationers. Our kids loved thar they had games to play along with Netflix to watch. Under the house, they had beach chairs, sand toys, bogie boards, and more for us to use.
The owners were so great to deal with too. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back as a group! In fact, this was the second trip to Ocean Blue for one of the families.

They have everything in the house you will need. The location is awesome, the view are incredible morning and night. We had so much fun. We actually finished 3 puzzles and used a lot of the games. Great house for families. We loved our Spring Break.

Our stay at Ocean Blue was all that we hoped it would be....from the first 'Aahhs!!' when we walked in the door, to the last farewells when we all headed home. The home feels like a home....it's comfortable, has everything you could need plus so much more. We would just stand on the balconies and gaze at the Gulf...taking it all in. Being able to step out the door and walk a few feet to the water was wonderful. There were lots of shells to look at, birds to watch, dolphins to catch glimpses of, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Part of the time we were there it was really cold. We had plenty of indoor activities to keep us occupied, or you could just soak up the quiet in one of the very comfortable bedrooms. Andrea was so helpful...keeping us informed and always answering emails within a very short time. We would all go back there again. Thanks Andrea.

We loved the house and the location!! We had an enjoyable time walking the beach and family time!
The only glitch was that there was noisy construction next door two of the days.

The house was as advertised and right on the beach. The accommodations were very comfortable and the host was easy to work with. We were very happy with the whole experience!

Ocean Blue is the perfect beach house for families or small groups! The house is located directly on the beach, which is not only convenient, but also sets you up for some beautiful mornings and evenings.
The bedrooms are all nicely appointed and well sized. The master and guest room have an ocean view with an adjoining deck. The two additional guest rooms are bayside. The master also has an en suite bath. I loved that the home had dual zone cooling systems so we could sleep in comfort. Every room also has a ceiling fan.
The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need for cooking meals, creating cocktails and entertaining. My advice would be to check the kitchen stock for things like spices, oils, baggies, wraps, etc before you shop. There are enough coffee filters to last a year! The kitchen, dining and great room are open concept, making family time easy and comfortable for all. The house is well furnished and tastefully decorated. The great room is stocked with plenty to keep you busy on a rainy day. (Huge Satellite tv with every premium movie channel, books, dvd's, games and puzzles.)
Just off the great room is the main deck overlooking the ocean. There are loads of seating options on the deck if you like to enjoy your morning coffee or hang out for evening cocktails. Underneath the home is a storage area with a gas grill, charcoal grill and every toy you might want for the beach. The Tommy Bahama beach chairs are awesome! There is a small beach umbrella and canopy, but we rented a beach canopy from a local beach rental company that I also highly recommend. They will come out to set up and tether it so it won't blow away, then they typically take it down when you leave. (Goin Coastal LLC) We had a tropical storm during our stay and they were awesome with making sure the tent was right back in the sand after the storm.
Lastly, I want to thank the owner for her amazing customer service. When you rent a beach home online, you don't really know what kind of owner or management company you may be dealing with, and that can make or break a vacation. However, Andrea was highly responsive whether via text or email. She was always available with any question or concerns that I had before, during, and after our stay. If you are considering booking Ocean Blue, be assured that it's a great beach house with an owner who cares about your stay. Thank you!!!!
