About this house rental
Perched on the serene shores of a rare coastal dune lake, Blue Haven 1 is an uncomplicated, laid-back Gulf Coast home with an ideal central location. With a backyard that has its own private staircase down to the shores of Big Redfish Lake, plus the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico just a short walk or canoe ride away, Blue Haven 1 is the ideal spot to call home while you visit the shore.
This particular unit, Blue Haven 1, is located on the first floor of this spacious home, which includes another upstairs unit, Blue Haven 2, that can be rented separately. On the first floor, you’ll find a charming, Southern-style front porch with a swing and comfortable rocking chairs that will make you want to pour a glass of cold lemonade and relax in the shade with friends.
In the main living area, the classic tile floors and bright walls add to the clean, simple design. A spacious sofa and two armchairs face a large HDTV, which is perfect for catching up on your favorite TV show. Next to the living area and underneath an eye-catching, modern chandelier is the formal dining table with seating for six people.
The kitchen is efficient and clean, with fully-stocked cabinets that hold everything you need for preparing meals or snacks for your group before or after trips to the lake or the beach. The appliances include an electric range, a microwave, and a full-size refrigerator, and there’s also a laundry nook with a washer and dryer on this floor.
Each of the two bedrooms is a private oasis for relaxing and unwinding. The first bedroom is the primary suite and houses a queen-sized bed and an attached full bathroom. In the second guest bedroom, there’s another queen-size bed and a twin-over-full-size bunk bed. There’s also another full bathroom on this floor.
The back porch of Blue Haven leads down to the beautiful Big Redfish Lake, a rare coastal dune lake that is great for canoeing and fishing. When you want to spend time on the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico, the Blue Lake Road public beach access point is right around the corner, meaning the world-famous white sandy beaches are only a ten-minute stroll or canoe trip away. This picture-perfect 30A location also places you within easy walking distance to the shops and cafes at Gulf Place for an afternoon or a night out.
As mentioned earlier, this Blue Haven home is a flexible space that can be rented as the entire home, just the downstairs unit (Blue Haven 1), or just the upstairs unit (Blue Haven 2).

I really enjoyed my stay here. It was very close to the beach and only a short walk. We always try to stay in the Blue Mountain area when we have a beach trip.
I loved the view from the roof top deck. Really enjoyed our stay.

This was a very nice rental. We really enjoyed our stay. The view was the best part. We just sat on the roof for hours chatting and enjoying the cool air. Really enjoyed our stay!

It was really awesome being able to stay in this place. We definitely loved being able to see the ocean from this place.
I thought it was really cool that the ocean was so close and there was also a lake right there as well. We had a great time just chilling out by the lake. We did try out the canoe as well and it was awesome.
We did a lot of walking/biking everywhere while we visited so it was nice to be able to relax at this house in our down time.

Reviewer Comments:
We rented this blue mountain house for an over the weekend stay. We were very satisfied with the location of the property; a quick access to the beach and nice views of the gulf and the lake from the house, and just because of that we would recommend this rental for a friend. Two things were not as satisfactory; first, the house condition (old building that need some renovation, and it wasn't as clean as we have expected, dirty bed comforts, dirty floor, and dirty tables, surprising because a tenant is charged $300 in advance for the cleaning crew to clean after the rental). Second, we've arrived late on Friday and picked up the keys from the safe box in the front and opened the main door but were surprised that the other doors that give you access to the house were locked using a digital entry key that was not given to us. Management could not respond in-time because of the late arrival and we had to get in the house from the balcony and open the door from inside which wasn't safe nor was convenient. Management followed up the next day to make sure we were in after that problem and they apologized for the inconvenience). Again, overall we recommend this rental because the location is awesome.
