Spring Break

We brought our family here for spring break and loved it! The house is gorgeous and the interior design is top notch. We loved that we did not need to bring anything extra with us. The location is perfect to the beach as well as a quick drive over to the Seaside square. There is no need to leave Blue Mountain Beach though, it is quaint and has awesome restaurants nearby. 10 out 10 recommend!!

Darling beach cottage with great family amenities!

We loved our stay with our young children at Bluefish! The home was so beautifully decorated and stocked with all of the beach toys and chairs you could want for a young family. In our time away from the beach our kids had a blast playing in the fenced in front and back yards and enjoying the hot tub. John was always helpful and great with recommendations. An all around great experience!

Awesome little gem in Blue Mountain

This was a great vacation home. Beautifully appointed with all the amenities you could ask for - plenty of towels and starter supplies. Location was excellent, in a quiet neighborhood, easy walking distance to Blue Mountain town and beach, and driving distance to everything else along 30A. What really sets it apart was the owners excellent communication and responsiveness. We had a minor issue arise and John took care of it right away- it’s those little details that really make a difference.10 stars!

Wonderful July 4th

We wanted to find a quieter option than our usual beach location. Even with the 4th traffic we found the location and offerings perfect for our trip. Look forward to our next stay at Blue Mountain Beach.

Great, quiet stay.

Bluefish Cottage is in a quiet neighborhood just across from Blue Mountain Beach. It’s close and convenient to the beach and all shops, restaurants, etc. in town, all of which are easy to get to by foot or via the bikes provided with the house. The house seems recently renovated and up to date. We very much enjoyed our stay in the house and would recommend it to anyone considering a stay in the area.

Perfect Stay Once Again!

This is our second year staying at Bluefish and it is hands down the perfect house for our family. Blue Mountain Beach is such a gem of 30A. The house is just the right size with everything you need, quiet neighborhood yet close to so many things and John and his family take such good care of the house.

Great Beach House

House was newly renovated in great location. Owner was very responsive and gave great information about the area. The house has everything including upscale washer / dryer among other high end appliances. There were also plenty of beach towels, chairs, umbrella, wagon, kids toys, etc. Beach entrance is also very walkable. There was easy access to our car as the residence is a true free standing house with everything on one level, so very kid friendly. Would definitely consider staying here again! 😊

Charming Coastal Vibes ...

Bluefish Cottage is an easy walk, skip or bike ride from Blue Mountain Beach. The cool coastal decor is bright and airy, the spaces are cozy yet functional. We really appreciated the fenced-in backyard with string lights, hot tub, grill, patio table, and yard games. Bikes, beach chairs, towels, and umbrella are provided. John and Kelley are lovely hosts and promptly answered all questions and offered lots of helpful suggestions to fully enjoy 30A.

About the host

Hosted by Kelley & John Sumrall

Host profile image
We have lived in Destin and Blue Mountain Beach since the mid nineties. In the eighties and early nineties we visited Kelley's mom here in Blue Mountain while we still lived and worked in Atlanta. In 1994 we left Atlanta and have enjoyed raising our three boys on sand and saltwater. Kelley is an interior decorator with an ever expanding client list. John is a banker who manages his company's operations for most of the Florida panhandle . Our older two boys still live nearby and come by often for coffee and dinner. The oldest is quickly making a name for himself as a talented construction superintendent. His construction knowledge, people skills, eye for design and attention to detail have quickly earned the respect of homeowner's and other industry professionals. In fact, he and Kelley handled the renovation and design for this property. The middle son is an outstanding caterer and chef. Since a young age, he has had a passion and flair for all things culinary. As a personal chef he has catered dinner parties for quiet a few of our more well known residents. He has recently taken a break from his pursuit of a culinary degree so he could live a little. A cross country trip ferrying some friends' car and their Rhodesian Ridgeback was bookended by Kansas City BBQ and Thomas Keller's fried chicken. He will start again soon in the back of house at one of our most famous 30 A icons learning best practices. The youngest attends SoWal High where he enjoy's an exemplary GPA, too much popularity and starts on the varsity team as running back. He does a little surfing, paddle boarding and fishing as well. During the Summer he works on the beach setting chairs and umbrellas. Hard work and early mornings - his Dad likes it. We love the area and are happy to share it with you. If you want a local's perspective just ask.

Why they chose this property

We have admired the neighborhood cottages known as "the brickyard" since we first saw them back in the eighties when we were in school at Auburn. The cozy neighborhood is on 30 A and only a block from the beach. We were patient and finally found a good fit with the Bluefish Cottage on one of our neighborhood walks. It needed some love and we had the vision. We also had the labor. The entire family participated in the demolition and renovation. We hope you enjoy it!
