14th year @ the Preserve

Wonderful house with plenty of room, especially for older children & adults. The "living room " space is open into the well appointed kitchen . Being the end of the season, we had reason to contact maintenance and the response/fix was on the same day. Our one disappointment was that the rec room with the ping pong, pop-a'-shot and games/tv etc is not accessible inside the house and had NO WORKING AIR CONDITIONER so was unusable.

Family Beach Vacation

Our annual trip to Santa Rosa Beach. This year we had 8 adults and 2 little ones. We loved the location of Royal Blue with the private beach access just across 30a. It was a beautiful walk in the mornings and evenings to enjoy quiet beach time. The golf cart and bikes were a great addition. We used them to go to and from Blue Mountain Beach and to local evening dinner and activities for our 20-something family members. Plus there were several wagons and beach mats and boogie boards in the garage that we put to good use. The home was lovely and had all the bedrooms and bathrooms we needed. The large family room/dining area/kitchen was perfect for family gatherings. We felt the furnishings were very comfortable, but had a bit of “use” showing and in need of some “freshening.” The management was extremely easy to contact and prompt to answer any questions we had, either before our trip or during. All in all, it was a great spot for our family trip.

Perfect beach house

Beautiful house with plenty of room for all! So enjoyed that the cousins could be in the same room yet each have their own bed. Fabulous kitchen as we like to cook a lot while there! The property manager, Claire was amazing from beginning to end, and never acted like any question I had was an important. She was kind yet knowledgeable, and made it a pleasure to deal with her would definitely consider coming to this house again in the future.

Location, location, location!

Okay here we go!!! Location, location is very convenient to everything but being backed up to 30A we could hear traffic noice at night from bedrooms on that side of the house.(location!!??) The pillows in king bedroom were REALLY a weird firm, hard to scrunch them to fit!! Beautiful, impressive lighting in several areas. Kitchen very nice but if you like to cook as we do, kitchen is not stocked for that! Not even a bowl for a salad. Enjoyed the big griddle on stove top. Family room has lots of seating and bar has extra dining barstools but the fabric in some areas dirty. Especially bar stools. Great large dining table where all of us could fit with 4 kiddos on bar stools. Half bath downstairs needs a handle on backside of door not just front of door as people are using part of the lock to open the door to come out and that is coming loose. Kids had fun in basement but there is mold on the wood down there😳. Porches are really too narrow and small to enjoy looking out to the ocean from top floor or just sitting outside your bedroom. Could use an elevator!! Lots of stairs to climb if you have knee issues. No artwork in master bedroom just a lot of white walls. Big room. Lamps hard to turn on and off in that room. So children enjoyed everything because they are just free from all the concerns!!! Been coming down to Blue Mountain Beach for years so familiar with a lot of rentals down there. And we come down for kids. No complaints from them👍

Great place for us

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We hadn't ever been to the Florida panhandle before and picked this area for a family reunion. Royal Blue was a great home for us. The home was beautiful, clean, bright, and spacious in a great little neighborhood. The pictures accurately and truthfully showed us what to expect. Having the golf cart was huge. We used it to get to one of the neighboring beaches most days as well as to the community restaurants. Access to the private beach was great and kept us away from the crowds. Loved the neighborhood association pickleball courts (3 functional ones) and pools.Property management was responsive when we had questions and for one item we needed serviced.

Lovely home in great location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We usually stay in orange beach/destin but decided to drive a little further out to be close to Seaside. This location was absolutely worth the drive. in fact, preferred staying here over seaside because less crowded but close enough to hang out at Seaside. Home was lovely in a neighborhood right across beach walkway. Beach was not crowded. Golf cart and bikes made it so convenient. There are sidewalks along 30a for bikers and runners with some shops/restaurants not far from the house. Can get to Seaside by bike in 20 min or golf cart in 15 min. For the negatives- neighborhood pool was not impressive. Seemed more like an apartment style pool that didn’t match the neighborhood at all. Fortunately we didn’t come for the pool. also Home was not well insulated - some rooms were super hot. We did come in the summer time so I’m sure it’s not as bad during cooler months. Overall, enjoyed our stay!
