Great house - perfect for a family vacation. We rented a golf cart but you could definitely get to and from the beach easily without one. Close to great restaurants and shopping. Loved the charm of the house and all the older details. Would definitely stay here again

Cottage vacation

Rating Details: The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have used Royal Destination several times with no problem. But this property was not well maintained. They were in need of pest control service. There were bugs in the interior of the house including dishwasher and ants on the kitchen counters. One bathroom was not clean when we arrived floor dirty and shower was not clean.

Best Memorial Day Weekend

This property is amazing. So precious, quaint and clean. It’s literally a 3 minute, flat walk to the public beach access. The pool deck and outdoor kitchen is fabulous and seems new. I’m in love with Blue Mountain beach now. I will for sure stay at this property again!!!

The Perfect Beach Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect for our family and our friends. We will definitely be coming back again. Favorite spot on 30a! It was so close to the beach. Plus short walk to restaurants, ice cream shop, and bakery. The outside pool area was amazing. The kids loved to come back after the beach to swim. The grilling area was amazing—grill, ice maker, fridge and sink plus bathroom. We had the best nights swimming and grilling after the beach. The house was so comfortable to wind down. Loved everything about this property!!

Cottage Comfort

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Cottage is a great house for those seeking a ranch style while also providing a spacious and charming home. The pool area with the bathroom and kitchen is wonderful. We spent hours out there. Comfortable beds and furniture inside. The Cottage is decorated beautifully. The location is fantastic. So close to the beach. The area is quiet which is such a nice break from the crowds at other areas on 30a. As always, Royal Destinations is a top notch rental company.
