"The house was beautiful and worked for our large family gathering. The only cons are the pool cleaners who came as soon as we checked in and super early the day we checked out. The yard is super small for dogs and doesn’t connect to the pool fence. If you stay in the master bedroom the sliding door is the only door to the side yard to let dogs out. However, the location to the beach is amazing and made it all worth it."

"Great family memories - The Big Blue House is in pristine shape and staff readily responded with concerns about a leaky air conditioner.
Very roomy , well equipped kitchen, heated pool, close to the beach, beach chairs and a wagon, close to Publix grocery ,lots of parking and a second staircase so the spiral stairs were not an issue with the younger children.
The neighborhood has a long way to go in it's recovery from the hurricane a year and a half ago but the Big Blue House is ready for large groups and the locals were grateful to have us there.
A family favorite!"

"Great house. We love it!! Just a comment about some missing essentials that would make a big difference.
- dressers in bedrooms (or shelves in some closets)
- a few more dishes would be helpful like bigger bowls and smaller bowls - we bought a cheese grater but the stuff there was great quality!!
Boogie board
Gazebo or permanent shade cover on patios for rainy days
Patio chair at side yard
All around excellent though!!
- Beach umbrella or tent
- screens on patio doors for cool days/ nights

Location to the beach is great and the pool was functional and fun with the different lights. If you go during busy time - rent bikes and use those for transportation as traffic can be horrible. Thanks!"

"Perfect for multiple families and all ages. This house was wonderful to stay in. We had 15 people ranging from ages 1-64. No problem fitting all of those people in the home. The beach was a one block walk and the street has a crosswalk at that spot. There is also a trolley stop right there. Note that the trolley can be a long wait when they only have 2 trolleys running. The beds were very comfortable (3 kings size, one double i separate room, 2 twins in another room and 3 twins (one bunk) in another. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, pans blenders, coffee maker etc. There is a large wagon to take what you want to the beach or use for groceries. The pool is a heated salt water pool and was enjoyed immensely by all. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Publix and a few other stores are one half mile away so walkable (or skateboard/bikes) if you are not buying heavy items. If you don't have small children, biking would be an easy way to get around. I cannot say enough great things about this house."

"Perfect for multiple families and all ages - This house was wonderful to stay in. We had 15 people ranging from ages 1-64. No problem fitting all of those people in the home.
The beach was a one block walk and the street has a crosswalk at that spot. There is also a trolley stop right there. Note that the trolley can be a long wait when they only have 2 trolleys running. They are subjected to the same traffic problems as everyone else so there is no reliable schedule. We did not have a vehicle so had groceries etc delivered easily. Something to note that was a continued problem for deliveries and taxis. The address is on Palmetto and the house number corresponds to that street. However, the number on the house and the driveway and doors are facing Dakota. Every transport of delivery had a problem finding it. The beds were very comfortable (3 kings size, one double i separate room, 2 twins in another room and 3 twins (one bunk) in another.

With 2 little ones, it was the perfect spot. Quiet area with a trolly stop at the corner, we were able to go anywhere we wanted.
The heated pool was a perfect addition for breaks from the beach and the evening relaxation.
We will definitely return to the Big Blue Beach House!"

"Great stay close to the beach! - We were a little nervous about this property having no reviews when we booked, but were very happy with our stay.
The location is great with a very short walk to a nice sand beach. The house was well equipped with a large wagon, beach chairs, toys, wheeled cooler, and plenty of beach towels. This made for a very easy walk with everything needed to spend the day at the beach. After the beach we loved coming back to the house and refreshing in the pool which was cool and mostly shaded in the afternoon.
We had two families with four adults and 6 young kids total and the house was perfect. Plenty of room to sleep everyone comfortably in the many bedrooms. The large kitchen and dining room table made it easy to have meals together. We were extremely happy with our stay at the Big Blue Beach House and would recommend to anyone."

Bathrooms and bedrooms are comfortable and well laid out. The heated pool was heaven, some days my kids stayed in all day except to visit the beach. The house was actually perfect for us. The lock code on the front door made checkin and checkout a breeze. The location was absolutely fabulous, away from the crowds, at a beautiful stretch of beach! ...but don't tell anyone! :). It felt like we were staying at our cottage for a week! Thank you for the lovely sunshine and a perfect vacation!!"
