About this property

Ideal Location with Fire Pit- Summer Bookings Available!

If you’re ready for a fun-filled vacay in the middle of 30-a and walking distance to the beach and multiple restaurants, look no further than My Blue Sky, a Gulf-view home in the sought-after Old Blue Mountain Beach neighborhood. Blue Mountain Beach is located between Grayton Beach and Gulf Place. Here you will find everything needed to make your stay a memorable one! Old Blue Mountain neighborhood residents and rental guests have private beach neighborhood walkovers via three access points. Yours is a one-minute walk at the end of our quiet street.

My Blue Sky is a lovely “Old Florida cottage style” beach house with four bedrooms and three and a half baths accommodating up to eight. A twin house with separate owners, you’ll feel right at home amid the cheerful space with whimsical touches and coastal artwork scattered throughout the home. The ground floor features a walk-in bonus shower for removing the day’s sand. The second floor features a living area, kitchen, and screened-in porch, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The fully stocked kitchen features granite countertops with all small appliances and everything needed to prepare snacks for the beach or meals for your group. (Coffee maker is standard, not a Keurig) A full-sized washer and dryer are readily accessible for added convenience on the third floor.

Bedrooms are located on the third floor, with two ocean side queen bedrooms boasting private baths, and a shared deck with Gulf views. Bedrooms three and four include a queen and bunk beds with a single over a full bed. These bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath. Exterior features include a drive under two-car carport that keeps your cars shaded on warm sunny days, and a fire pit with six seats, perfect for retelling stories of the day’s adventures. Beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, and daily housekeeping are all available for an additional fee.

Rent a beach cruiser or an electric bike at Big Daddy’s Bike Rentals up the street and spend the day exploring the many communities dotted along the 17-mile bike trail on 30A. Aloha surf shop has water toys, floats, and souvenirs.

Walk to Redfish Taco at Redfish Village great taqueria food and margaritas, and live music under the patio seven days a week; up the street find Johnny McTighe’s Irish Pub for sports, pizza and food, Cowgirl Kitchen for breakfast, lunch, dinner and take out; and a box car bar in back. A short drive away is Mimmos Italian and Basmati Asian Cuisine for reservations and a finer dining experience. Grayton Beach is 1.5 miles east and includes many restaurants, A.J.s and the famous Red Bar.

At the top of Blue Mountain Road and 30-A is Blue Mountain Bakery, open for breakfast and lunch daily with its famous cinnamon rolls, scones, muffins, wraps and sandwiches. Next to the bike shop is For the Health of It, an organic grocery with

fresh smoothies and take out dips and snacks. The Creamery is a must stroll up the street for homemade ice cream. A Publix grocery store is located two miles away on highway 98.

Very easy to deal with. Place was advertised. I would say our only complaints were the floors were not very clean when we arrived, and the refrigerator did not work very well. It needs to probably be replaced.

Great Location

Our family had an overall great experience and would rent again. The property management was responsive to any support I needed and I received timely clear instructions for our rental procedures. The location is ideal. A quick walk to the beach entrance made it easy for our family to come and go. The property has been well loved but some updates were appreciated and overall we enjoyed the environment especially the screen porch. Several good restaurants are a short bike ride away along with an ice cream shop.

Beach house

The house was fine from a floor plan POV. We did encounter some dead a live roaches within the house. Otherwise, the screened -in porch was a great touch and we spent a great deal of time on the porch when not at the beach..

Amazing!!!

I miss it already!!. What an amazing vacation!.. Having this beautiful home to stay in instead of a hotel was so much more enjoyable and personal. I was able to have one of the best birthdays ive ever had. This house is so close to everything,we barely had to drive anywhere. Your very close to the beach and restaurants and shops and blue mountain is seriously the cutest little place. The house is perfect for a family stay. It was extremely comfortable. The back porch was perfect for coffee in the morning. The beds were so comfy.. after being at the beach all day they were perfect. Maintenance was quick on reponding when we called about one of the upstairs bathrooms. I will definitely be booking this home again in the future. Its really the perfect home for a little getaway.

Great House

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great experience, very nice house, access to the beach could not be easier. Blue Mountain is a perfect town that is not as crowded as some of the other 30a towns. I will say that this house is a duplex and the pool is shared with the other side of the house. This was not clear in the description when we rented the property. The other owners were there for both weekends of our stay but did not get in our way at all. They were very nice and accommodating, even helped to re-fill the pool as it was leaking and losing water all week. Also, you have access to 2 parking spaces in the carport, not all 4. They also did not have beach toys or beach chairs so bring your own.

Wonderful Vaction

We we very happy with the property even though when we made the reservation the property advertised a pool which was something we wanted . Per the property management the owner did away with the pool this past winter. Other than that we enjoyed the property and the location is excellent.

Oven didn't work

Wonderful place to stay; however, with several children we needed the oven to work to prepare meals. When we notified someone they did give us a $100 credit and sent someone out the next day to repair it..We were on our way out when that person came so we assumed the oven would be fixed, which it still didn't work when we got back. There wasn't a note, or phone call as to why oven still didn't work, so this was disappointing, with that being said everything else was great and would love to visit again.

Our favorite beach trip yet!

Everything was so clean and exactly how we imagined it to be, maybe more. The walk to the beach was incredibly short and not crowded at all. We could literally hear the ocean from the screened in back porch that accommodated everyone. All the beds were super comfortable, as well as the living room! We also thoroughly enjoyed using the pool after a long day on the beach. We plan to stay here our next trip as well!

Great place with one caveat out of the owner's control

This home is wonderful, a great deal and an awesome location. The screened in porch is one of the best features, it is large and perfect for meals as well as relaxing. This house and pool are not fancy, but they are clean and very functional. The only caveat is that this is a duplex and the folks on the other side decided to have a long weekend of partying which was very loud- college kids cursing, blasting music all night and tossing beer cans on the lawn. They weren't there the whole time, just over a long weekend, but it did interrupt our sleep those nights. Overall though this is a gem of a property and mere steps from the beach, a great ice cream stand and more and we would recommend.

The place has mold, cockroaches, and water leaking from the vents. We were down 2 bathrooms and no one came to fix it. The beds had pee stains, walls had fingerprints, shower heads moldy. The only part that was good was the distance to the beach.

Fantastic location

The location of the property was excellent. It took only 2-3 min to get to the beach access- did not have to cross any busy streets to get to the beach. The beach itself was clean, quiet, and beautiful. It was close to an excellent run/walk/bike trail on HWY 30A. The 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms upstairs were perfect for 4 teenagers (2 boys and 2 girls) and 3 adults. Very comfortable beds. The check in process was easy. The property manager was very friendly and was easy to get in touch with. I have only 2 complaints. 1. We love to cook. And the kitchen appliances and pans/griddle, etc need to be updated. 2. We did not know that we had to share a pool with another family in the unit. It was a surprise when we got here. I thought the house was one unit only and it was ours to enjoy. The description of the property did not make that clear. Overall, we loved the house, neighborhood, and the beach. Thank you!
