The house is amazing. The location is great. Lots of room for the whole family (16) ranging from infant to 70s. The porches are a great addition to the indoor open area.
Beautiful place to watch the sunset.

Stayed here with a our family of 5 plus 2 other families with plenty of room. Pool was great and walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all. Only suggestion I would have would be to spray for ants out by the pool/ table and chairs. Other than that no complaints, would definitely stay here again!

Our group really enjoyed this house, especially the back porch. Plenty of room for 8 adults to hang out (with several beds to spare). The beach access is convenient - the closer beach access may require wading through water from lake and the other beach access down the road is small and does not allow tents and canopies.
Comments for Benchmark: The alarm on the door for pool safety is not functioning properly and we never found the tv remote for the living room.

Very unique house in a great location between Seaside and Rosemary Beach. Short 5min walk to the beach. Private pool and perfect size for a family with kids. Most houses with private pools in the area have several bedrooms and are designed for multiple families to share. This one is the perfect place for a family or two. Not big/not small, just ideal property size. Clean and updated.

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Bungalow! We loved the location of the house, it was very quiet and feels private. We had 9 adults total in our group and 2 kids (age 2 and 3). The setup of the house was perfect for us and the pool is a huge plus, especially with little kids! The house feels very homey instead of just another rental and it was very clean. The beach access is just around the corner from the house, the only downside is you do have to walk across a small part of the lake to get to the beach so pack light!
The only thing I would change about the house is the lack of bathroom space upstairs. There are only 2 bathrooms and they are very small with barley any counter space but we made due!

We absolutely loved the property, however had repeated unwarranted complaints from neighbors about noise and number of cars in our driveway (which never exceeded the max amount). For a house that sleeps 16, we felt that we couldn’t even enjoy the pool or sit on the front porch to sip our coffee in fear of getting a noise complaint (2 visits from police and 3 visits from management) from a neighbor who told us “I am on week 6 of spring break and over it”. It’s unfortunate that such a wonderful home in a great location is not suitable for large groups that want to enjoy the basic amenities of the property.
The property was clean, well maintained and very comfortable for our family of 11. The neighborhood was walkable and enjoyable. A car is definitely needed to go to shopping areas, including groceries. It would be nice if there were some basic spices available, like salt and pepper, for those who choose to prepare meals at home. But, we were prepared by Management that this would not be so, so we brought or bought our own. Otherwise the kitchen was adequately equipped. The living spaces are big enough for everyone to gather together as needed. We very much enjoyed our visit and would return, but not in summer when the traffic lines would be unbearable. You would need a golf cart or bicycles for transportation, and even these would be difficult for older adults. I would think there could be some danger also for all but the most alert bicyclists during peak rental seasons. One must be prepared for long walks for shopping and sightseeing. But, overall, it was a wonderful stay immediately after Christmas for our family.

Reviewer Comments:
The main reason for booking was the views from the observation deck that were pictured in the listing, and how the property looked secluded from the photos. However when we arrived there was a very tall home next door that was under construction and completely blocking any view to the ocean, and new homes build all around that overlooked the pool. The photos on the listing are VERY old and do not depict the home as it currently is. The home was also not as clean as we would have hoped. Dust caked on the ceiling fans, mold in the corners of the bathroom, sand all over the floor, dirty dishes put up in the cabinets, ants inside the porch, couches were dirty with food on them, just overall not to our expectations.

Awful management company - beware. Electrical issues.
We have been renting properties around the world for the past 20 years. We rented this property for Christmas for a party of 8. An hour before check-in the property management company called us to inform us the refrigerator was not working and that they could not find anyone to come out and fix it, but were working on it. They then flippantly said that it was really no problem because the owners had *graciously* allowed us to use the outdoor fridge in their private garage. To help I started calling around and found someone who could come out. When I called them back, they said “Oh, in actuality they did have it looked at and it cannot be fixed. The owners are buying a new one and it won’t be delivered until after your stay.” I asked why they had not said that before, and they said – “but you have a perfectly working fridge outside the owners have *agreed* to let you use.” “So, you want a party of 8, to go back and forth (it was through the house, the patio and down to the pool) in the cold for 8 days cooking every day?” She did not see an issue with this. I asked to speak to the manager. She called back after 30 min and offered a cooler with ice. Next call I made they offer a minifridge. When the manager called back, she stated their same position, that there was no problem as the owners were *allowing* us to use their garage fridge. Their tone and their flippant nature about this was remarkable. We ended up going back and forth to the garage fridge (got locked out of the garage once – called to get it opened), buying ice for the cooler and making do. The house, lot and area are nice, but they do have electrical problems (reason why brand-new fridge broke?) We had to reset the breaker 4x as the bottom of the house lost power. It’s been renovated but has sub-par fixtures - most door handles have issues (my daughter got stuck in the bathroom 2x), the faucet knobs have leaks and feel they will fall off anytime. It’s a rental, so I get it. The lookout tower is fabulous, and overall the house is comfortable. Just beware that you might have some essential item go out during your stay (because electrical issue we witnessed) and you’ll be stuck with whatever fix they think is acceptable. No pricing adjustments as they’ll be quick to point to contract on how things happen that are beyond their control (fair), but the tone/heartless way of addressing the issue will have you wishing you were elsewhere and had rented directly from an owner.

Arlene,
Thank you so much for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Blue Bungalow. We are truly sorry that the fridge had to be replaced and was unable to be done prior to your arrival. Unfortunately, like with any home, unavoidable issues do arise and we work hard to accommodate guests and am sorry this did not meet your expectations. I don't see any maintenance notes regarding issues with the electric. If we would have been made aware, we would have been more than happy to have maintenance check this for you. Fortunately the homeowners do have a fridge in the garage that you were able to use. The owners didn't hesitate to allow you to use their fridge as they also want to ensure their guests have a great stay.
Blue Bungalow is an amazing home and a guest favorite! Fortunately the issue with the fridge has been corrected. We do hope you will give us another chance to provide you and your family with a 5 star experience!

Unfortunately we were not pleased with the way the property management was run and would not seek to rent from this agency again. Being supplied 4 rows of toilet paper and one trash bag for a house that advertises it sleeps 16 people is not realistic. Asking the renters to go out and buy additional supplies doesn’t work considering most of the time people are traveling and would not be able to bring rolls of toilet paper, trash bags, or paper towels home with them on an airplane. We've rented with other management companies along 30a and have been provided with an adequate amount of paper supplies and will be renting from them from now on. The pool was not cleaned and the management company was not willing to come out and clean it - we found several frogs in the pool and the filters were completely full. The home was lovely - furniture was great, location was great - loved being walking distance to the beach, unfortunately the weekend was tainted by the management company

Katherine,
We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with the services you received from our company, but appreciate your feedback so we can learn from the experience and provide better service moving forward. We do state that our fees include a one-time, initial setup of sheets, towels, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, and basic amenities for the restroom. All further supplies needed must be purchased by the guest. This is simply so guests can bring their personal preference of these items for their vacation, we hope you understand! We did call the pool company to address the frogs and filters in the pool and they unfortunately were not able to service this pool until after your departure since you were only with us for the weekend. We're glad to hear that you still enjoyed the home and location and hope that you will give us another chance in the future to provide the luxury guest experience we pride ourselves on.
Sincerely,

We vacationed in this home for 7 days. The home is beautiful and served our needs for the week. However, we had to contact the property manager almost daily due to several appliance and plumbing issues. They resolved each issue in a timely manner except for the dishwasher improperly draining. The beach rental service agency Vacayzen was also an issue. All beach equipment we rented with our credit was very worn. Broken bikes, backpack chairs and umbrellas. We had to contact them daily as well. Overall, the house suited our needs, but I have never been on a vacation with a rental house that I had so many issues with that needed attention during a 7 day stay. This home needs a maintenance day overhaul.

Jennifer,
We were happy to welcome your family to this custom home in Seagrove for a beach getaway! We do sincerely apologize for the maintenance issues you experienced in this home, as well as the communication issues you had with our rental gear partner, Vacayzen. We greatly appreciate your detailed communication along the way, providing us the opportunity to repair those issues or at least turn them over to local appliance companies when we were unable to resolve anything ourselves. We will note your feedback about Vacayzen's service as well, as we expect to be well-represented on all fronts and want our guests to be receiving the best service and product possible! We will take your feedback into account and work promptly to get all matters addressed and bring this home back to its full 5-star potential! We hope your family still enjoyed the spacious interior, private pool, nearby beach access, and breathtaking balcony views. We would be honored to welcome you back for the opportunity to offer a much better beach vacation to you all.

We loved the location! This home easily sleeps 16 people, but there are only two bathrooms upstairs where 14 people can sleep. It was fine for us because we didn’t max out the sleeping space. We did have a brief moment of panic when we first arrived because one of the bathrooms was locked from the inside, and we thought we had only one bathroom upstairs. Management sent someone very quickly to unlock it, so it wasn’t a problem. The dishwasher is not properly installed, so we had to be careful opening it, or it wanted to fall forward. There was the expected wear and tear associated with a rental property at the end of the season. Overall, we had a great time, and I would stay there again.

I truly cannot say enough good things about our stay at the blue bungalow! This house was pretty close to perfect for us. The location was fantastic. It felt very secluded, but was still close enough to the beach access and was just minutes away from all of the action in Seaside. The interior of the house was decorated beautifully and very spacious. The large kitchen was a hit with all of the guests! Our favorite part of the house was definitely the backyard area. The pool was very clean and kid friendly. There was a very shallow part of the pool that was perfect for my two-year-old to play in. We also enjoyed the screened in porch at the back of the house. It was a great spot for evening family dinners or even an afternoon nap. There was really only one negative part of our stay here and that was the mosquitos! Obviously this is out of the property management’s control being that the house is right across the street from the lake, but it is worth noting. Just bring your bug spray and you will be ready for an amazing time at the blue bungalow!

My family had an amazing time staying at Blue Bungalow!! The house is awesome and very large! The screened porches are the most relaxing for drinking coffee in the morning and grilling in the evening! It’s a short walk the beach board walk and the pool was enjoyed by all!! The house was clean and ready for check in! The only thing I would change was the back door was very hard to open. Even for adults. We will be back to stay again! Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!!

The rental was more than we could have imagined. We were happily surprised that the unit was even more beautiful than the photos. It has a wonderfully stocked kitchen and the perfect 'hang out' living room space. We enjoyed the private pool that had all day sun, perfect for our age range of kids (7,3,5,1). We had one issue with the fan on the oven, but this was quickly and professionally resolved by the management company. All in all, a wonderful rental and a great experience.
