At Red Fish was perfect for our family. We visited with our adult children and their families. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and the main floor with kitchen, dining, and living was perfect for spending time together. The proximity to the beach was great, the roof top terrace was a nice place to hang out with beautiful views and a great breeze. We loved spending time together in the pool, and the neighborhood was very nice.

Located just a short stroll from Blue Mountain Beach's sugar-white sands, On Point is a beautifully redesigned vacation compound that blends modern luxury with relaxed coastal elegance. Featuring a private heated pool, an outdoor Tiki Cabana Bar, and a fire pit, this home is built for entertaining. The Main House and separate Guest House offer plenty of space for up to 16 guests, making it ideal for large families or groups of friends.

When you're not lounging poolside or grilling under the cabana, take a leisurely walk to the beach, grab a fresh pastry at Blue Mountain Bakery, enjoy a handcrafted cone from Blue Mountain Creamery, or sip a cold craft beer at Red Fish Taco before exploring the charm of Scenic 30A's coastal villages. Pool heating is available seasonally for added comfort.

We really enjoyed our stay at On Point. Having two kitchens and the guest house was ideal with our large group. The pool was also an added bonus! The location is amazing as it is a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and Blue Mountain Creamery. The only downside of our trip was a small giraffe stuffed animal that was lost inside the property who we are so desperately trying to find as it holds a lot of sentimental value. Thank you ❤️

Sandy by the Sea

4 Bedrooms / 2 Full Bathrooms / 12 Guests

Tucked within the Sandcastles by the Sea neighborhood of Blue Mountain Beach, Sandy by the Sea is a delightful pet-friendly retreat designed for relaxation, fun, and effortless coastal living. Accommodating up to 12 guests, this beautifully styled Old Florida home is just a short walk from the pristine Blue Wave Beach, where you can enjoy scenic Gulf views and gentle breezes. The lagoon-shaped private heated pool provides a serene setting to cool off and unwind, complete with a sun deck, gas grill, and umbrella-shaded dining area for poolside gatherings. Inside, the spacious open living area features plush seating, coastal décor, and a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, perfect for hosting family meals. The second-floor Primary Suite includes a private screened-in porch and open balcony, while the third-floor loft serves as the perfect hideaway for kids. With its wraparound veranda, charming picket fence, and modern comforts, this home is a peaceful coastal escape just minutes from local cafés, ice cream shops, and beachside entertainment. Pool heating is available seasonally for added comfort.

I know some may think it’s an oxymoron to say relaxing and family in the same sentence, but this truly was! The house was beautiful and fit our adult family well. The closeness to the beach, walking paths and private pool were a dream! The cowgirl kitchen and Irish pub added elements of nearby entertainment and variety. The short drive to Destin allowed us to capture a dolphin tour and the Boathouse Oyster bar two of our favorite stops! I highly recommend this location.
