Bluefin cottage

This is the nicest beach house we’ve rented! Perfect location, house is well equipped and property managers are very responsive. The king bed in the master I was super comfortable. We would definitely recommend!

Awesome location

Best 2BR 2BA location we have stayed. Kitchen is stocked with updated pots and pans and dishes. We have stayed at some places where the cookware was on their last leg. Not here. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Pool is not large but big enough. Only thing I wish they could add would be some sort of sail screen/tent over the pool area to block some of the sun. Pool got really warm on some days. Free trolley stops off right by the house. Look forward to next year.

Bluefin Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Bluefin! It was very clean and comfortable, and so nice to not have to cross a street to go to the beach. The property is very well maintained.

Loved the Bluefin Cottage! It was very thoughtfully laid out and stocked with supplies that made our anniversary trip so much easier!!! The quality of the finishes in the home set it apart from many others. Hope to stay again soon!

Perfect!

The house was beautiful and had everything we needed! The pool was small but perfect for what we needed. Absolutely LOVED that we had a private patio and pool and literally 2 houses from a gorgeous beach! Highly recommend and can't wait to return!
