About this property

Emerald Coast Get Away

This comfortable, family friendly home is located in a quiet, residential community. This rustic beach house features a downstairs apartment with fully-equipped kitchen, living/dining area and washing machine and dryer plus two bedrooms and one bath. The upper two floors makeup another complete unit with four bedrooms, two baths and living, dining, and kitchen areas and washing machine and dryer - great for two families sharing a vacation.

Large porches, a private fenced-in pool, easy beach access and wonderful gulf views make this house a perfect family vacation spot.

In order to avoid the crowds, we offer a convenient and quieter, Sunday to Sunday check in/check out. This allows you to avoid the traffic on Saturday when other vacationers are traveling.


The house is also located 2 miles from Grayton Beach and 4 miles from Seaside and Water Color. There are sidewalks the entire distance to these locations, so a family bike ride is a perfect get away from the beach.

**Please note: During the off season months the house may be rented as either a 2 bedroom one bath, 4 bedroom 2 bath or full house of 6 bedroom 3 baths. The rate will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the reduced house size during these three months.

Family Fun at Keepsake

This was our 3rd visit to Blue Mountain Beach 2022, 2023, 2024. This property is so convenient to everything! We were concerned this year, about the “Beach Police” but had no encounters with them. No sharks or rip currents, thank God! Wonderful memories made this year as years past! Linda T

Keepsake

We have been vacationing for close to 50 years in the Florida pan-handle and this experience was great. Great location, easy beach access. The home was perfect for our family. The view of the beach from the third floor was a bonus. We have a large family with ages that range from 1 to 73. We were thinking that it was going to be a little small but since it had a pool as we do at home we gave keepsake a try. I’m glad we did. The two staircases, front and back, provided easy access to the upper floors. The grounds keeping could use a little work but other than that we would stay again. Thank you for great time.

Good stay for the money

Overall the home was clean, very close to the beach and accommodated the entire family of 11. It was also nice that the home had separate levels for added privacy. Having two kitchens made it great for our family night of grilling. The only minor issues we had were the lack of trash bags, toilet paper, hand soap and dish cloths. Also there were no beach towels available and no lighting for back patio or front porch. We did have a good stay and I would recommend this home for a family vacation by the beach!

Good for the Beach enthusiast

This is an excellent location to the beach and does have a pool. It was just across the road to beautiful beach access. Overall it is great and very quiet . The add said 2 Mike’s from Seaside, but it was almost 5 to city center. My mistake for not checking it out further ahead of time .There is a paved path all the way. The house is older and does have and older house smell on first arriving. We came during the off season so only had the bottom floor that only has 1 bathroom but it was large and the toilet area was separated with a door. My husband and I were very happy. The teenage girls were not. Since we thought it was closer to seaside we did not rent a gulf cart and of coarse there were none to be rented do to spring break. If we had younger children this would have been perfect.

Great family home convenient to beach

This was a wonderful home for our large family. It was convenient to beach boardwalk, ice cream shop, and restaurants, all within easy walking distance (even for out of shape elderly folks). It was clean, and the beds slept wonderfully. Be prepared to do without clear phone service though, and intermittent wifi. We had to purchase a mop, as there was not one provided, and be prepared to bring all toilet paper, hand soap, and dish liquids. The grass desperately needed cutting, which prevented us from having the kids play in the grass, and the outdoor furniture needs refurbishing. My daughter, holding her baby, collapsed backward onto the ground when a chair broke because the frame was rusty. There were ample chairs to pull into use, however, and the pool was PRISTINE. The grill was huge and perfect. The outdoor hot shower was great! We loved the porches, and would love to stay there again. 8 or 9 out of 10!!!

Keepsake Memories

We rented both the upstairs and downstairs apartment for Spring Break- 3 families and my mother, 11 people in total. The location is wonderful! It is part of a neighborhood with a reserved beach area; it was 177 steps from the drive to the beach. :-) The house had a lovely fenced backyard with a pool. It was private and quiet. We heard birds all the time and even saw a deer on our first day! Having the lower level kitchen was awesome to access the food when using the pool then we used the upstairs kitchen for most meals. The house is a bit worn but looks like updates are in progress. Cheryl was amazingly responsive to all my questions and requests prior to and during our stay. We made many wonderful memories!
