Great place to stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Little Blue. The house was super clean and all the amenity were excellent. The AC worked great and it was fun to have an screened in porch and lawn to play games on. It was close enough to walk to the beach, yet far enough away to avoid the normal beach town bustle. We plan to return again in a couple of years.

Great house near beach and bars

Well stocked house and great for a family beach trip! It was a nice central location for both beach and bars/restaurants. Also was a short walk to the lake which has vendors and other events on the weekend. Really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again!

Most relaxing stay ever....

This house has everything! These owners have either been renters themselves for a while or have been renting for a while and listen to the feedback from their renters. Every detail was taken care of! The house was just as described allowing plenty of room for three adults and three children. There were plenty of towels to go around and they had beach towels and a beach bag available to use. There were also plenty of soaps...laundry, dish and body and I DID NOT HAVE TO MAKE A MAD RUN TO THE STORE FOR TP!!! That is priceless! :) The kitchen was well stocked...down to storage containers with matching lids! Another big win for those that opt to cook! And the kitchen was well organized...very user friendly. This was also the first house I have rented that had a hose available for use. With three kids at the beach it is great to be able to hose off feet and sand toys after a day in the sand. Also, I was able to fill up the kids little pool so they could enjoy some splashing while the adults relaxed on the screened in porch. Win, win!! Everyone had a great time and we would definitely rent again!

Great vacation

Loved staying here, you can walk to beach but with all beach equipment we did a short drive to paid parking. They have everything you will need to enjoy your vacation. Check in was easy and check out.

Very nice

House was immaculately clean and very cozy. Excellent location within walking distance to the beach and boardwalk but away from all the noise on the main strip. Owner was very easy to work with. Best house we have rented on Vrbo so far.

The house was perfect! Clean, quiet and conveniently located. The master bedroom shower was AMAZING. The only thing that’s missing is an out door shower.

Making Each Day Count

After losing a loved one suddenly you need to carry the tradition and continue on. This sweet house was perfect for what we were going through. Reservations made in January but met all our needs! Comfortable beds, kitchen well stocked and close to downtown. Super family cottage!

Wonderful week at the beach!

We had a great time staying in this house! The neighborhood is quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch, which is screened in. The house is very clean. Small touches like baked goods from the Veggie Wagon and a well stocked kitchen were a great bonus. Would be happy to stay here again!

Cute cottage beach property with EVERYTHING we needed! The owners were very helpful! Best stocked VRBO home we have ever stayed at!! All the “extras” were enjoyed by everyone. My only recommendation would be a new sofa.. thanks for sharing your home with us 😀

Family Fun at Little Blue

Little Blue was a precious find! We truly enjoyed our time here. The house had more than what we were expecting in terms of supplies, towels, pillows, and bedding! You really didn't have to bring a thing. The hosts were very responsive and even left us some wonderful treats and not a small amount either! The shower in the main bathroom was amazing with 3 types of shower heads! The only things that could have been nicer were the coach was covered in stains, the cabinets needed wiped down, the middle shower tub needs redone and the porch needed a good power washing due to all the sand but because everything else was so nice we barely noticed these issues. I would recommend this house despite these issues!
