Rosie and family were excellent guests- they were kind enough to start linen laundry , and DW before departure, left the cottage immmaculate and were great communicators during their stay. We would happily have them back anytime they are in area.
We had a wonderful stay. Joan is a great host. The house was beautiful, clean and cozy. We were 2 couples and the layout of the home gives you great common space, a kitchen with plenty of tools to prepare meals at home, a deck for sitting out to enjoy your coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, and when its time to retire. clean ,comfortable bedrooms each with a bathroom. Close to the beach, great restaurants and places to walk. We had a blast! Thank you Joan. We'll definitely be back.
We had a relaxing, quiet stay in the charming cottage on the canal. Very clean and renovated. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Beautiful sunset views from the observation deck. Joan is a gracious and accommodating host.

We appreciate the care that Laura and her husband showed our cottage. They were wonderful guests , always enjoyable to speak with and do hope they return for future stays.
My husband and I came to FL to celebrate Thanksgiving with family. We ended up staying at this wonderful cottage, which was extremely clean and cozy. It was located just around the corner from the beach and not far at all from our family in Port St Lucie. Would highly recommend staying here. We are looking forward to coming back again soon!

We had a wonderful stay Bluedrfit Cottage. Joan was very helpful and communicative. The unit had everything we needed and was a convenient walk to the beach and restaurants. Do go to the tiki bar at Kyle G's and the Magic Oyster for Happy Hour $1 Oysters! Beds were very comfortable, enyoy!
Beautiful property tastefully decorated. All the amenities to make your stay comfortable. You could cook in every meal if wanted, the kitchen was amazing. The bedding was luxurious. Tons of towels for beach if needed. The owner was very easy to reach.

Jackie and family were excellent guests, very communicative, respectful and friendly. They took care with the entire house and left it immaculate. We appreciated that they did the linens and left kitchen spic and span. Welcome back anytime
The Bluedrift is sheer perfection. You can tell great care was put into the decorations--from the upscale kitchen with everything needed to prepare dinner, to the heavenly comfortable beds to the outdoor furniture that allows gatherings to watch boats go by right in your backyard. Bluedrift is located in a terrific spot too, close to restaurants and just across the highway from the most gorgeous beach. Communication was perfecto and the property was so clean and updated I'd recommend it to anyone. We are anxious to return to Hutchinson Island--an island that holds many memories for us.

Chris and family are the perfect guests. The respect they showed our house rules was above and beyond - always checking beforehand before inviting extra guests and the cottage was immaculately left on departure. We do appreciate this more than they know. We hope BLUEDRIFT becomes a future vacation mainstay for Chris. Thank you !
The house is perfect! It is very clean & recently updated. The beachy decor is so inviting & it has absolutely everything you need for the perfect vacation. The upper deck is an amazing place to watch sunrise or sunset. Joan is a wonderful host and very responsive. The beach is super close as well as great restaurants. We look forward to coming back!

Tracy left our BLUEDRIFT as clean as when she arrived. We appreciated that she also started the laundry and dishwasher. Everything was as hoped and so glad they enjoyed. They are welcome guests.
Property was even better than we anticipated, everything has been updated. It was like a new house. Great location, close to beach and great restaurants. Waterway behind the house is a definite plus. Owners were responsive and the absolute best to deal with. Very relaxing stay, would give the property and owners our highest recommendation.
This cottage is the perfect place to relax. The owners have thought of everything to make you as comfortable as being at home. It is decorated beautifully. Beds are very comfortable, kitchen is well stocked. The back outside dock area is perfect to enjoy sitting and sipping coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, except the gnats where annoying , be sure to wear bug repellent. The beach acesss is a 3 minute drive (Jenson Beach) , you can rent chairs and umbrellas, beach is clean, restrooms and snack bar very nice.
