Spring Break

We brought our family here for spring break and loved it! The house is gorgeous and the interior design is top notch. We loved that we did not need to bring anything extra with us. The location is perfect to the beach as well as a quick drive over to the Seaside square. There is no need to leave Blue Mountain Beach though, it is quaint and has awesome restaurants nearby. 10 out 10 recommend!!

Darling beach cottage with great family amenities!

We loved our stay with our young children at Bluefish! The home was so beautifully decorated and stocked with all of the beach toys and chairs you could want for a young family. In our time away from the beach our kids had a blast playing in the fenced in front and back yards and enjoying the hot tub. John was always helpful and great with recommendations. An all around great experience!

Awesome little gem in Blue Mountain

This was a great vacation home. Beautifully appointed with all the amenities you could ask for - plenty of towels and starter supplies. Location was excellent, in a quiet neighborhood, easy walking distance to Blue Mountain town and beach, and driving distance to everything else along 30A. What really sets it apart was the owners excellent communication and responsiveness. We had a minor issue arise and John took care of it right away- it’s those little details that really make a difference.10 stars!

This is our second year staying at Bluefish and it is hands down the perfect house for our family. Blue Mountain Beach is such a gem of 30A. The house is just the right size with everything you need, quiet neighborhood yet close to so many things and John and his family take such good care of the house.

What an amazing home. It had everything we needed and as a family of 6, that says a lot. We were not lacking anything. Even when it was cold outside, (December vacation) the hot tub and constant hot water from the shower outside kept us more than happy. Very clean and we will definitely be coming back!

Amazing place to stay

This property was even better than the pictures showed. It was well appointed, cozy, and close to so many amenities. 10 minutes from Seaside, maybe a 10 minute walk to the beach. Great places to eat and the hosts provided lots of helpful recommendations. So many beautiful touches, it felt like a home away from home. There were bikes, beach supplies, a grill, and great outdoor and indoor living space. Thanks to the amazing hosts for providing such a beautiful, cozy space.

Charming Coastal Vibes ...

Bluefish Cottage is an easy walk, skip or bike ride from Blue Mountain Beach. The cool coastal decor is bright and airy, the spaces are cozy yet functional. We really appreciated the fenced-in backyard with string lights, hot tub, grill, patio table, and yard games. Bikes, beach chairs, towels, and umbrella are provided. John and Kelley are lovely hosts and promptly answered all questions and offered lots of helpful suggestions to fully enjoy 30A.

This house is nothing short of perfect!

We rented in June but before we left I made a reservation to return to 30-A and stay there again the following March. I laughed to myself all week that my only complaint was that they needed to provide a larger skillet that would hold enough bacon to feed my 3 teenagers.
