Spring Break

We brought our family here for spring break and loved it! The house is gorgeous and the interior design is top notch. We loved that we did not need to bring anything extra with us. The location is perfect to the beach as well as a quick drive over to the Seaside square. There is no need to leave Blue Mountain Beach though, it is quaint and has awesome restaurants nearby. 10 out 10 recommend!!

Awesome little gem in Blue Mountain

This was a great vacation home. Beautifully appointed with all the amenities you could ask for - plenty of towels and starter supplies. Location was excellent, in a quiet neighborhood, easy walking distance to Blue Mountain town and beach, and driving distance to everything else along 30A. What really sets it apart was the owners excellent communication and responsiveness. We had a minor issue arise and John took care of it right away- it’s those little details that really make a difference.10 stars!

Darling beach cottage with great family amenities!

We loved our stay with our young children at Bluefish! The home was so beautifully decorated and stocked with all of the beach toys and chairs you could want for a young family. In our time away from the beach our kids had a blast playing in the fenced in front and back yards and enjoying the hot tub. John was always helpful and great with recommendations. An all around great experience!

We wanted to find a quieter option than our usual beach location. Even with the 4th traffic we found the location and offerings perfect for our trip. Look forward to our next stay at Blue Mountain Beach.

Great Beach House

House was newly renovated in great location. Owner was very responsive and gave great information about the area. The house has everything including upscale washer / dryer among other high end appliances. There were also plenty of beach towels, chairs, umbrella, wagon, kids toys, etc. Beach entrance is also very walkable. There was easy access to our car as the residence is a true free standing house with everything on one level, so very kid friendly. Would definitely consider staying here again! 😊

Adorable cozy beach cottage

Bluefish cottage was a great place to stay during our time in Santa Rosa. The cottage is exceptionally clean, incredibly comfortable, and tastefully decorated with a consistent theme and colors. The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were cozy, and bathrooms large and inviting. The covered porch was a great place to enjoy our morning coffee sitting in the rocking chairs while watching the kids play cornhole which was provided. The location is excellent. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood that is walking distance to several dining and shopping options. We could walk to dinner at Red, Fish Taco, an ice cream stand, happy hour at Cowgirl, breakfast at Blue Mountain Bakery, organic grocery for dinner supplies or beach snacks, or coffee and smoothies down by Coffee Shoppe, among several other options. The distance to the beach is great, where you could walk to the Blue Mountain Beach access where there are lifeguards, rinsing stations, and restrooms. Beach supplies (chairs, toys, skimboard) were provided and in great, well working condition (no rusty beat up chairs like i've gotten at other places). We chose to go to a quieter end of the beach with less facilities and no parking lot. We used our car to drop off chairs and bags and most of our party, while I drove back and used one of the provided bikes to ride back to the beach since there was minimal parking in that area. A great stay overall.

Great, quiet stay.

Bluefish Cottage is in a quiet neighborhood just across from Blue Mountain Beach. It’s close and convenient to the beach and all shops, restaurants, etc. in town, all of which are easy to get to by foot or via the bikes provided with the house. The house seems recently renovated and up to date. We very much enjoyed our stay in the house and would recommend it to anyone considering a stay in the area.

Charming Coastal Vibes ...

Bluefish Cottage is an easy walk, skip or bike ride from Blue Mountain Beach. The cool coastal decor is bright and airy, the spaces are cozy yet functional. We really appreciated the fenced-in backyard with string lights, hot tub, grill, patio table, and yard games. Bikes, beach chairs, towels, and umbrella are provided. John and Kelley are lovely hosts and promptly answered all questions and offered lots of helpful suggestions to fully enjoy 30A.

We had an excellent stay at this property! We were going to be arriving late in the evening so the owner turned lights on, hot tub on, and got the place ready for us. We didn’t need to contact the owner for any reason during our stay thankfully but I would imagine they would be very reponsive if we did. It was a little chilly outside week we were there so the hot tub was a nice feature. Cottage was super cute and very clean, love the coziness of it. Stocked well with everything! Great location, close to everything. Bikes were a great feature and we rented a golf cart. Would highly recommend this cottage!

This is our second year staying at Bluefish and it is hands down the perfect house for our family. Blue Mountain Beach is such a gem of 30A. The house is just the right size with everything you need, quiet neighborhood yet close to so many things and John and his family take such good care of the house.

Bluefish Cottage is a fantastic property! Super clean. Amazing upgrades in kitchen and bathrooms. Super comfortable beds, linens, and towels. Fully stocked kitchen appliances. Quiet location and minutes from the beach. Every detail was perfect and decor was top-notch. Felt like we were staying at a 5-star luxury resort with intimate touches. Hosts were super responsive and helpful with local information. Best beach trip ever! Will definitely stay again.

Quiet Cozy Home close to the Beach

The home was warm and inviting and our family of four loved all the updates. The home was big enough for us and the back patio and front fenced in area was great for the kids to play in and around. The owners were hospitable and reached out before we arrived. The location is close to the 30A but far enough away to remain quiet. The closest beach access was less than a 10 minute walk away. Best to get there early if you want a parking spot. If you are not renting chairs my advise would be to walk a few hundred yards down the beach from the stair beach access. You will be glad you did as the day goes on and the beach gets busier. Many great restaurants are close by. Staying in this home really made our week in Florida a great vacation with great memories.

Perfect House Close to the Beach

The house was spotlessly clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for the week. The backyard is private with plenty of room to hangout. The house is located less than a 10 minute walk to the beach, but we did rent a golf cart due to the amount of stuff (chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc.) that we took to the beach. The owners were super easy to deal with. We are already planning on staying here again.

Absolutely wonderful time staying here. From pulling up to a pristine pebble parking lot, down to the back deck and yard, everything was perfectly clean. The house was adorable. Having a fenced yard was wonderful for the kids. They even had a pack and play. The owners could not have been nicer and more helpful. We rented a golf cart so the trip to the beach and back was a breeze. Would Absolutely stay here again! Cant wait! Thank you so much!

Old School Blue Mountain Beach

What a cute and beautiful property! The house is everything you want in a beach cottage, outdoor shower, back porch with hot tub and dining area, wonderful front porch & a great little front yard. Then there is the inside which is straight out of a magazine!!! We were allowed to check in a little early since we made great time coming down from TN. We asked John if we could park the car and take the golf cart we rented to the beach and he said that we could go on and check in! We had no issues with the property, it was clean and everything worked great. We had an internet outage for a brief period and I reached out and in less than 10 minutes we had it up and working. The neighborhood is "vintage" Blue Mountain. There are no 5 story houses around you, a nice quiet neighborhood that is within walking distance of Blue Mabels (amazing restaurant!), Big Daddy's Bike Shop, Blue Mountain Bakery, Cowgirl Kitchen and Blue Mountain Creamery. The beach is not a bad walk but we take a lot to the beach so we used the golf cart and bikes. The kitchen was stocked fantastically well and the linens were super nice. We always bring our own supplies since we have learned the hard way after coming down the past 12 years but they hass extra paper towels, trash bags, laundry detergent, coffee even. The only negative is storage, we had to get creative because the closets are sma-all. But I will take that any day to stay again in this lovely cottage in Blue Mountain.

About the host

Hosted by Kelley & John Sumrall

Host profile image
We have lived in Destin and Blue Mountain Beach since the mid nineties. In the eighties and early nineties we visited Kelley's mom here in Blue Mountain while we still lived and worked in Atlanta. In 1994 we left Atlanta and have enjoyed raising our three boys on sand and saltwater. Kelley is an interior decorator with an ever expanding client list. John is a banker who manages his company's operations for most of the Florida panhandle . Our older two boys still live nearby and come by often for coffee and dinner. The oldest is quickly making a name for himself as a talented construction superintendent. His construction knowledge, people skills, eye for design and attention to detail have quickly earned the respect of homeowner's and other industry professionals. In fact, he and Kelley handled the renovation and design for this property. The middle son is an outstanding caterer and chef. Since a young age, he has had a passion and flair for all things culinary. As a personal chef he has catered dinner parties for quiet a few of our more well known residents. He has recently taken a break from his pursuit of a culinary degree so he could live a little. A cross country trip ferrying some friends' car and their Rhodesian Ridgeback was bookended by Kansas City BBQ and Thomas Keller's fried chicken. He will start again soon in the back of house at one of our most famous 30 A icons learning best practices. The youngest attends SoWal High where he enjoy's an exemplary GPA, too much popularity and starts on the varsity team as running back. He does a little surfing, paddle boarding and fishing as well. During the Summer he works on the beach setting chairs and umbrellas. Hard work and early mornings - his Dad likes it. We love the area and are happy to share it with you. If you want a local's perspective just ask.

Why they chose this property

We have admired the neighborhood cottages known as "the brickyard" since we first saw them back in the eighties when we were in school at Auburn. The cozy neighborhood is on 30 A and only a block from the beach. We were patient and finally found a good fit with the Bluefish Cottage on one of our neighborhood walks. It needed some love and we had the vision. We also had the labor. The entire family participated in the demolition and renovation. We hope you enjoy it!
