The home was very clean and well kept. The location was very ideal, close walking distance to the beach, close to a lot of good restaurants, it was quite at night. We also got to bring our fur babies which was a plus with a reasonable pet fee.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alex's beach house in Blue Mointain Beach! Alex was a great host and the property is in a perfect location. Beautiful home
The house is near beach, pet-friendly in very quiet area, clean and accurately listed as a two-bedroom, with sofa-bed in living room. The well-maintained very large yard offered plenty of free parking space for our three cars. The yard was well-maintained, with freshly mowed grass, plenty outdoor furniture, corn hole game and grill were a great addition.
We had the chance to visit a fascinating open house across the street (worth two million dollars), which was also fun. We also enjoyed multiple TV subscriptions.
The property manager was responsive and polite, enhancing our overall experience.
Our recent stay at the BlueBeachDoor property was absolutely incredible. The host provided outstanding services, ensuring my comfort throughout the entire visit. The house was impeccably clean, and the host stocked it with all kinds of supplies. The kitchen is fully equipped. We were pleasantly surprised by the effective bug control measures that made my stay bug-free both indoors and outdoors. The highlight was the beautiful picnic table and ample outdoor furniture, allowing us to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings and 18-mile long bicycle path. The spacious closets provided ample storage space, making it easy to unpack and settle in. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a memorable vacation. We can't wait to return in the future.

This condo was beautiful and very clean. However, it was listed as a 3 bedroom and is only two. The pictures were gorgeous but when we arrived the yard had not been mowed and the owners car was parked in the drive which meant we didn’t have enough parking. There was also construction across the road which was not mentioned in the email prior to arrival. The manager was quick to answer questions and polite but we will not be booking this townhouse again.

Dear valued guests,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us following your recent stay at our BlueBeachDoor house (not a condo). We truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us ensure that all future guests have a pleasant and enjoyable stay.
We'd like to address the concerns you raised about the bedroom configuration. The listing clearly specifies that the third bed is located in the living area downstairs and is a sofa bed, ensuring transparency for all our guests. Therefore the clarity in the bedroom configuration was present in the listing at the time of your booking, followed up by our request to confirm the additional sleeping arrangements for a party more than 5 guests.
Regarding the yard maintenance, we intentionally leave the grass uncut during this uneasy for everyone heatwave season to support the local wildlife, especially the wild deer that frequent the area. We understand that this might be different from what some guests are used to, and we thank you for your understanding and support in this matter. This also was communicated to you in our welcome message.
As for the construction across the street, we regret any inconvenience it may have caused during your stay. We always strive to provide our guests with a serene environment to relax and enjoy their vacation. While the construction was not within our control and we are not aware of the estimated completion date, we do know there is work is happening only during the day while guests are enjoying the beach. We apologize for any disturbance you may have experienced.
Regarding parking, our property offers a spacious lot that can comfortably accommodate up to four cars, and it was enough space for three of your cars. We do encourage guests to inform us in advance about their parking needs, and we are more than happy to make suitable arrangements to accommodate them.
Your feedback is highly valuable to us, and it serves as an opportunity for continuous improvement. We are committed to ensuring that all our future guests have a memorable and pleasant stay at our "Blue Beach Door" house.
Cheers,
"BlueBeachDoor" Host
This vacation home exceeded all my expectations! The tropical design immediately transported me to a serene paradise, and every corner of the house radiated relaxation.
The generous perks made my stay unforgettable. The hosts' complimentary early check-in and late checkout allowed us to make the most of our time without feeling rushed—a thoughtful gesture that made a significant difference.
The amenities provided were top-notch. The well-equipped kitchen and cozy living area made us feel right at home. Every detail was carefully considered.
The location was unbeatable. With multiple rental shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors, coffee shops, and even nail salons nearby, everything we desired was within reach.
And let's not forget the highlight—the beach! Quick and convenient access meant we could enjoy the sun, sand, and surf in multiple ways, whether by strolling, biking, or driving.

About the host
Hosted by Alex
We’re a small family‑run business and proud Superhosts who are a little obsessed with beach days, tacos, and live music on 30A. Blue Beach Door is our happy place, and we’ve set it up so you, your kids, and your pups can unpack, relax, and feel like locals from day one.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it feels like the best of 30A in one place—quiet, friendly streets with trees and yards, but still an easy walk or bike ride to the beach, restaurants, coffee, ice cream, and live music. Blue Mountain Beach has a relaxed, old‑Florida feel with more space than the crowded resort areas, and you can be on the scenic 30A bike path in just a few minutes. From here it’s simple to explore nearby beach towns, grab tacos or bakery treats, rent bikes or a golf cart, and then come back to a calm, comfortable home that isn’t right on top of the crowds.
What makes this property unique
Blue Beach Door is a laid‑back, two‑story coastal cottage in a prime 30A location, set up for easygoing “go with the flow” beach days. Guests love that it’s an actual house with a yard, not a condo—pet‑friendly, with a partially fenced lawn, grill, outdoor games, and a covered second‑story balcony that feels like an extra living room. Inside, you get a king Tempur‑Pedic bed, fast WiFi, a real workspace, Roku Smart TVs, a fully equipped kitchen, and thoughtful extras like beach chairs, towels, and dog‑friendly touches. As a small family‑run Superhost business, we keep the home spotless, well‑stocked, and constantly improving so you and your crew—kids, friends, and pups—can relax, walk to the beach and local spots, and feel like 30A locals as soon as you arrive.
