A great stay at Blue Bungalow!
by Houston TX
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Our family of 9 adults and 2 teens had a wonderful vacation the day after Christmas. The property was well maintained and very clean. The common areas had room for all of us and our group gatherings, while the beds and baths were quite comfortable and sufficient to meet our needs. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed preparing our own meals several times during our stay. It would be nice, however, if there had been a small cupboard of basic items like salt and pepper for guest use. As it is, though, Benchmark forewarned is of what would be provided, so what was not in the cottage we purchased or brought with us.
While our stay was not during the summer peak season, it was busy enough as we got in our cars to shop or sightsee that it makes me want to prepare future renters for how difficult it might be to get around going from one area to the next as you enjoy your stay in this beautiful beach area. Especially for older adults or the handicapped, getting around could be difficult and definitely time consuming. I mean, how many 80 year olds are going to bike everywhere? Not many. So, if you plan to take your parents and grandparents to vacation along SeaGrove, Seaside, Rosemary Beach, etc, be prepared for long and slow car lines. But, with all that said, we still had a delightful stay and would do it again, just not during the summer peak vacation times.

Great Time!

Stayed here with our family of 5 plus 2 other families and had more than enough room to everyone. House was just as pictured online, if not more beautiful. Would 100% stay here again with our family. Walk to the beach was not bad, but did have to walk through a little bit of the lake to get to the beach but worth it!

Great Stay

★★★★★ 5 of 5
We had a great stay at Blue Bungalow! We had 9 adults and 2 kids total (2 and 3). The house was very clean and comfortable on a quiet and private street. Everything loved the pool area and screened in porches! The only downside is that there are only 2 small bathrooms upstairs with very little counter space. But we made due just fine. We would definitely stay here again!

An amazing stay at the Blue Bungalow
by Broken Arrow OK
★★★★★ 5 of 5
I truly cannot say enough good things about our stay at the blue bungalow! This house was pretty close to perfect for us. The location was fantastic. It felt very secluded, but was still close enough to the beach access and was just minutes away from all of the action in Seaside. The interior of the house was decorated beautifully and very spacious. The large kitchen was a hit with all of the guests! Our favorite part of the house was definitely the backyard area. The pool was very clean and kid friendly. There was a very shallow part of the pool that was perfect for my two-year-old to play in. We also enjoyed the screened in porch at the back of the house. It was a great spot for evening family dinners or even an afternoon nap. There was really only one negative part of our stay here and that was the mosquitos! Obviously this is out of the property management’s control being that the house is right across the street from the lake, but it is worth noting. Just bring your bug spray and you will be ready for an amazing time at the blue bungalow!

Our family had a wonderful time staying here! Such a beautiful home - very spacious and perfect for a large family. The pool was perfect for all of our littles. Beach access was our only issue but we're thankful for the nice home. Maintenance was prompt and helpful when needed. We are all sad to leave. Thanks for the memories!

Family time at Blue Bungalow!!
by Montgomery AL
★★★★★ 5 of 5
My family had an amazing time staying at Blue Bungalow!! The house is awesome and very large! The screened porches are the most relaxing for drinking coffee in the morning and grilling in the evening! It’s a short walk the beach board walk and the pool was enjoyed by all!! The house was clean and ready for check in! The only thing I would change was the back door was very hard to open. Even for adults. We will be back to stay again! Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!!

A beautiful bungalow, perfect for our large family
by Roopville GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
The rental was more than we could have imagined. We were happily surprised that the unit was even more beautiful than the photos. It has a wonderfully stocked kitchen and the perfect 'hang out' living room space. We enjoyed the private pool that had all day sun, perfect for our age range of kids (7,3,5,1). We had one issue with the fan on the oven, but this was quickly and professionally resolved by the management company. All in all, a wonderful rental and a great experience.

Maxwell’s at Blue Bungalow
by Parsons TN
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Plenty of room for all 16 of us. One of the bedroom’s were bunk beds, but 4 others were regular queen or king. The kitchen was great. We ate breakfast and dinner each day at the house. Mexican, Gumbo, Roast Beef, Buba Burgers, and Steaks. The pool was fantastic with a very shallow part for small children. Our 1 year old had a blast in the shallow part. We rented a cart which was perfect for going to the beach and trips for ice cream. Great rental. Highly recommend!

Great Vacation! Blue Bungalow rocks!
by Mount Pleasant SC
★★★★★ 5 of 5
We loved the house! Having the pool there and the beach so close was amazing. Not a huge fan of that pool back door alarm, but I understand how it works to keep younger kids safe. Would like some outdoor lighting on the garage was very dark over there at night and no way to use the garage’s outdoor lighting because we couldn’t access it. Those two things would not keep me from coming again. It was a great experience!

Perfect beach house with private pool
by Atlanta GA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Very unique house in a great location between Seaside and Rosemary Beach. Short 5min walk to the beach. Private pool and perfect size for a family with kids. Most houses with private pools in the area have several bedrooms and are designed for multiple families to share. This one is the perfect place for a family or two. Not big/not small, just ideal property size. Clean and updated.

June 2019 Stay

We loved our rental! Absolutely no complaints. We had a minor breaker problem, which was repaired quickly, plus they cleaned the pool while they were there. The best stocked kitchen of any place we have rented made cooking very easy. The kids loved the pool and the adults loved the screened in sunroom. Would highly recommend!
