Blue Honey is a wonderful place to stay. The new dining room and sitting room are great additions. The owner stays on top of maintenance and makes sure everything is in great condition. The housekeeping is top notch. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you will want. The pool area is excellent and we even saw a hummingbird enjoying the flowers.

Watercolor Red Cedar Way

House is very nice. There was a significant hiccup with the housekeeper at checkin but owner was very responsive and helpful. We had 12 family members (2 infants; 4 kids ages 2-6; 6 adults. Pool in backyard was great. Rains in June and community pools close 30 min after lightening. Sometimes 3 times in 1 afternoon so pool in backyard was great!!

Family stay at Blue Honey

We had a group of 9 with 6 adults and 3 grandkids so Blue Honey worked out great for us! We enjoyed the amenities at the home and the pool was a big hit with the grandkids. The location of the home and the access to Watercolor pools and activities was a real plus for our group. The golf cart and bikes helped make it easy to get around. Beautiful home with great hosts who were very informative during the booking process and attentive to any requests we had during our stay. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Second time at Blue Honey

Our family favorite place to stay! We got to stay again at Blue Honey this year. Best amenities just like home, very well taken care of, clean, everything works fabulously. The swimming pool is gorgeous with seating outdoors to enjoy the family. There is a new golf cart and new bikes for all to enjoy riding around Watercolor and Seaside. Great location too! I highly recommend renting and appreciate Mike and Joan Heflin. They are hands-on with the property and are very accommodating and enjoyable to work with.

We had a great week at "Blue Honey." The house was beautiful and in a great location- on a quiet street and an easy walk to the beach, pool, Publix, and Seaside. The smart TVs in every bedroom was very nice and the kitchen was well equipped with top of the line appliances. The house was very clean and 360 Blue offered great service as always.

30A 2024 family trip

Everyone in our group agrees this is our favorite property on 30A and we’ve been annual renters for years and years! The location is perfect—steps from seaside with easy access to all Watercolor has to offer. The property was PERFECT for us and was incredibly stocked for the perfect week long beach vacation. The home is stunningly beautiful yet very comfortable. The owner, Mike Heflin, was most responsive and helpful, even before the trip began! Trust me, this gorgeous home is one I plan to return to again and again. Definite 5 star listing!!

Perfect vacation!

Blue Honey was the most fabulous home we have stayed at in Watercolor. We typically try a new house every year for fun but my family loved this home so much we hope to be back! The pool is serene and perfect. The golf cart is so much fun! My kids loved the proximity to Camp Watercolor and also the nice easy loop to ride their bikes on out front. Everything was perfect, I even peeked at the sheet brand to purchase them for our own home they were so comfy! Mike is wonderful to work with as well. Absolutely perfect stay!

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Joan Heflin

Host profile image
We fell in love with this house while on a bike ride and bought it the next day. You'll love Blue Honey as much as we do. Great place for family, friends or a romantic getaway. We love the quiet street, the nature preserve in the rear and the park in front. We live here about 6 months during the year so the house is our home versus just another rental.

Why they chose this property

The house is only 8 years old due to the 2017 complete renovation (down to the studs). It was professionally renovated and decorated. We enclosed two porches in 2025 to add a dining room and a sitting room off the master bedroom. We also converted the third floor to living space. It now has a game room, bathroom and sleeping area. The beach club is a mile away which is an easy walk, bike ride and you can cruise there in the golf cart.

What makes this property unique

It has all the amenities including a private pool and golf cart and is on a very quiet street off of Western Lake. There is a park in front of the house which is perfect for pets or a quiet walk. The house backs up to the nature preserve. We see deer behind our house regularly.
