Lake front, with Gulf View! 10 min walk to beach

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).

Disliked: Cleanliness

Old and dirty

Property was very run down. Grounds overgrown and not been cleared of debris in years. All exterior furniture rotten. Interior furniture old and dirty. Other than location to beach was a huge waist of money. My two adult kids and I travel VRBO all over fla and have never rented a place this bad. We are fla residents and enjoy traveling to other locations in the state. Also both shower drains clogged, dryer broken. List goes on and on. That's it. Hope anyone headed there reads this review.
