More About Out of the Blue:
Out of the Blue is one of those rare homes that surprises you—in the best way. Unassuming from the outside, it opens into a bright, expansive interior with vaulted ceilings, generous gathering spaces, and a layout designed for both connection and comfort.
Just a 3-minute walk to the beach, yet you may find yourself lingering at home—lounging by the private pool and spa, grilling under the covered patio, or ending the day with a glass of wine while the group settles in.
Thoughtfully designed for families and groups, this is the kind of place that feels easy from the moment you arrive—and becomes a tradition before you leave.
The open-concept living area features a large sectional, 65” TV, and Sonos sound system—perfect for movie nights or game days. The kitchen is fully equipped for real meals (not just vacation snacks), with a high-end gas range, oversized farmhouse sink, and a large island for gathering. Dining seats up to 12, with additional bar seating.
Step outside and you'll find your private backyard retreat—pool, spa, covered patio, grill, and TV—ideal for long afternoons that turn into easy evenings.

Summary of reviewsThe property offers a perfect stay with comfortable rooms, a peaceful backyard, and a short walk to the beach. Plenty of nearby amenities, everything needed in the house, and great potential for fun activities.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Our stay with extended family and cousins was terrific. The house is beautiful and looks like something out of a magazine. Upstairs beds are definitely more comfortable than downstairs beds, but all were fine! The proximity to the beach is also fantastic. Property management company was so nice and super responsive. Only 2 challenges for our group: some of us had to work (Zoom calls) and there's not really an ideal space for this. I landed on the upstairs balcony most of the time. Also, there's not 1 full length mirror downstairs. Definitely not deal breakers. Our entire crew would stay here again!

Our family (14 in all) of various age ranges stayed at this property, and overall it was a great experience. The house is lovely, the beds were comfortable, the pool was fun, and the location was fantastic. We really enjoyed the bikes, golf cart, beach chairs, and umbrella that came with the rental. The management company was also helpful and responsive to our concerns. One major issue we faced was with the hot tub. Having a hot tub was big on our wish list for vacation, and it took several days and multiple calls to the property manager to get the hot tub working adequately. Rommendations to the management company/owners are: 1. Have all waivers in one place, we signed many waivers throughout the process and it would have been nice to have something mostly encompassing. 2. It would be nice to be able to invite others in your trip to the online guest book.3. In the kitchen it would be great to have some Tupperware. 4. We understand the company can't provide all household goods, but a few more towels in the kitchen would have gone a long way. 5. One big issue we had was with the description of the king bed with the "bunk beds in the room", this is simple not true. There is a set of bunk beds in the upstairs hallway, with no privacy. We had planned to put our toddler in the mower bunk in a room with us, and this simply wouldnt work with it being open to the whole houses noise. 6. All beds need a blanket provided. Including the pull out sofa, there was not one.

Our stay was amazing. All 18 slept comfortably. The property was perfect for a lounging peaceful weekend. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool, bikes, or golf cart but having a closed in backyard and a short walk to the beach was great. We were able to walk less than 5 mins to the beach. There’s plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. The house had everything we needed. Absolutely would book this place again.

To the owners of this lovely home I feel they should know as well as VRBO about the lack of cleaning and problem response we had while visiting Out of the Blue the week of July 11-17.
When we arrived at 4:30 we could not check in, as was stated in the email I received check in was a 4:00. The was still being "CLEANED". We finally had the house around 5:00. Later that day I called about the bathroom on the first floor that would not flush and had a bowel movement in it. The air conditioning was not working well so I cleaned the air conditioner door that was loaded with dirt and my husband cleaned the actual furnace full of dust and dirt-not good for the unit at all. The TV in the upper bunkroom was not working, the backdoor handle was coming off and the liners in the bathrooms were disgusting and something like that is not that expensive to replace. I was told when I called on Sunday morning I was on a HIGH priority list for someone to come that day and fix these items. No one came and no one called. I called AGAIN Sunday evening and was told they were sorry and someone would be there ASAP. NO ONE again came. Called again on Monday and was given the same line that someone would be coming that day-AGAIN, no call and no one showed. Called AGAIN and got voicemail. Told them I was contacting Josh McLean. I sent him an email but heard nothing from him as well. VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Finally on Tuesday someone showed and fixed everything. Ridiculous to have to wait this long considering the amount of money paid for this home. Your cleaning people for what they charge us do not do a very good job. Windows were dirty, smudges all over them. Trash on the side yard, empty beer and beverage boxes.
If I was the owner of this very nice home I would be VERY concerned as to how this home was being neglected.
