We really enjoyed our stay! The place is very old and reminiscent of our childhood beach visits. The interior is updated nicely but keeping with the retro theme. We walked to the beach daily for sunsets and walks! We also walked to a couple of local bars and eateries. We will definitely be going back to this place in the future!

The stay was great except for the very small bathroom. Great little walk to the beach and great food within walking distance
Cozy beach cottage located on the beach with white sand & blue water. Perfect walkable location surrounded by restaurants, live music, salons & everything you want or need. Free Washer & Dryer, beach bikes, grill, & more. Wonderful place to unwind & enjoy life & nature.
The property was clean, comfortable and full of amenities. P.S could I get a contact number for future bookings please my email is emersonturks@aol.com

On the beach
It is a nice little place to get a way to. It’s clean and a very short walk to the beach the shower would be very difficult to navigate if you are even slightly handicapped
I love staying at Blue Water Beach and cared for by Carter Coastal Vacation Rentals.
Great location, great quiet tropical setting at BWBR. Walking distance to everything you need, beach, shopping and restaurants!!
Love it !! ❤️
Bright, clean and cozy was our impression of this beautiful hideaway.
And it only got better upon entering through the door.
Checkin was a finger punch.
The accommodations were well above expectations.
Will share this secret with all our friends and families.
Overall, property was great. Clean and tidy space, and comfortable. Only a few minor issues:
Parking area small. Difficult to manuever with a full size pickup.
Toilet needs adjustment. Didnt flush well.
TV remote for bedroom missing
The location of this condo was wonderful and we enjoyed the space for beach days.
Unfortunately the furniture was not comfortable at all! The bed was smaller than a queen and very firm, the chairs and couch/pull out mattress were even more uncomfortable. It just did not make for a restful vacation for 3 adults.
We ended up getting a different location just to get a decent nights sleep.
We will definitely come back to this same area! What a great spot. Very easy check-in and out. We had never been to this beach before.
Clean, quiet, safe home. 100 steps to the beach!
Other guests of the property all came and went at all different times, so the property never felt "packed" and there wasnt ever anyone hanging out right outside our door.
The only downside was the bed - the mattress is very difficult to sleep on, but we ended up buying a mattress topper while we were down there and solved that problem right away! we spent most of our time on the beach so it didnt really matter, but just a heads up with that - bring a topper and your stay will be PERFECT!
Home is centrally located between a few restaurants/bars walking distance.
We ate at guppys every day!

Retro 1950s - Not impressed. Had a problem connecting to the wireless network. Called property manager - left a voicemail - No reply. Finally connected to another wireless port. Low water pressure in the shower. Toilet keeps refilling the tank. Access to beach is poor.

Mice and Roaches
This unit had mice and roaches. Mice scratching at the walls at night, making sleeping very difficult and we saw a mouse that ran behind the kitchen counter. We bought traps ourselves, which a few days later had a roach stuck on. Safe yourself the frustration and do not stay here. We kept what little food we had in the fridge/freezer, or sealed in bags which were not open, so the mice and roaches were not a result of food we had with us. Host did not respond to any of our messages, even after leaving the property. Once again, highly recommend avoiding this property.
1)The best thing about this place is how close it is to the beach. You walk across a parking lot, through a gate and you are on the beach in maybe 200 meters worth of walk. Incredible. The only way to be closer is to have a place that literally backs up to the beach. 2)The next best thing is the neighborhood. A short walk is all you need to get to a couple decent restaurants, an open-air bar, a gem of a cafe/deli/convenience mart, and a nice restaurant. 3)There is a place right outside your door to sit down and relax outside, which is nice. If you are looking for a place where you can stare at the water while you do this-- well, not really. This is not a complaint, just don't stay here and expect that. Also, it does have a nice grill and a couple patio tables if you want to cook and eat outside, and a couple ratty old beach cruiser bikes to tool around on-- bonus items! 4)You have two beach chairs, an umbrella, and towels for your inevitable 2 minute walk to the beach! Cool! 5)It's a 50's era one bedroom efficiency apartment. Cute, but not trendy cute. Don't expect to be wowed by the furnishings and decor, but it's all good because you're so dang close to the beach. It's clean, good mattress, lacks nothing, really. 6)Parking is tight-- if you have a big vehicle, you need to be on your game if you're in the last few spots. 7)I'd come back here again. Probably will, actually. Cool spot for a beach vacation.
