What a wonderful experience! From the beginning Christy was amazing. We have a large family with 3 daughters, their husbands, 4 grandchildren and my mother. Christy was an outstanding host, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure each room setting was perfect and we had everything we needed. The beach was just breathtaking every minute. We made so many memories here and our grandchildren loved being right on the beach. The pool was great and the recreational set up with picnic tables and game room was great for us all! We will definitely plan another family trip here! This Hidden Gem was perfect for enjoying detoxing from it all and enjoying quality time with your family totally beachfront! Thank you Blue View Inn for an unforgettable stay!”

Family (parents, kids, grandkids) vacation at Blue View in February 2025. Perfect location on the beach (and close to extended family), the townhouse was spacious, well appointed, and (most importantly) very clean. The pool, the amenities, and location are excellent. Christy and the staff on site were very accommodating and kind. We'll be back!

Great location directly on the beach. Nice pool as well. Previous owners used to provide beach chairs. Current owners do provide "beach" chairs, but hey are plastic stackable Adirondack chairs, which are very comfy, but getting them to and from the beach is difficult since there is a flight of stairs down to the beach and these chairs do not fold. Liked all the new additions of sitting areas and more grills to use for cooking. Lawn games also available. Entire resort made more child friendly! Thank you for another memorable weekend stay!

We were looking for a place where we could truly unwind and dip our toes in the sand without a long trek—and this property was perfect. It’s right on the beach, and we stayed in Townhouse #4. From the very beginning, the booking process was smooth and the owner was incredibly responsive to all of our questions. During our stay, we made such special memories—it really felt like a hidden gem. The space was super cute, comfortable, and easy to settle into. I especially appreciated having access to the laundry room in the evenings, which made it easy to pack light. We’ve already decided we’ll be coming back! This little spot was just what we needed, and we’re so glad we found it. Staff was very caring and friendly. Ready to make us feel at home.

We arrived at BlueView with our party of 7 adults and stayed in the pool house. We were impressed from the beginning and can't wait to get back. The peaceful setting and game room made the vacation great as we were able to make our dinners on the provided grilles and eat dinner together without having to eat out 3 meals a day. The beach was pristine and very quiet unlike other area beaches. The place was clean, quiet and welcoming with a warm pool for our stay and would definitely recommend it. Thanks BlueView for making our stay memorable.

We like quiet locations, this fits the bill, we had view of ocean from upstairs and direct access to private beach. Short drive to Publix for groceries as well as golf. Plenty of water pressure and hot water for shower. The unit we stayed in had upstairs downstairs with king bed down, kitchen and living room, and full bath. We chose to stay upstairs in room with very comfortable Queen bed, kitchenette another full bath with rain shower head & hand held shower head plus another bedroom with 2 more Queen beds. Way more space than we needed, but we booked this as a last minute get away, we were very happy here, but there is partial obstructed view from another building, so if it matters to you you might want to get room in that front building with unobstructed views.

This was our 2nd time staying at the Blue View Inn. We loved it even more than the 1st! (We stayed in the Quad then, which was nice.) We stayed in the Twinzer this time, which is the 1-bedroom condo on the second floor. It was awesome!! The kitchen was very nice & had all the dishes & cooking things we needed. Oh - you'll want to bring a bag of ice & plenty of water. There's no ice-maker or icetrays & the water has a strong sulphur taste anyway. The dining room has a glass 4-seat table & the living room has a sofa, loveseat, & a large curved TV. You can log into your subscribed services on the TV. There's a sliding glass door opening to the balcony that takes you down to the beach. The bedroom has a king bed & dresser. One window faces the pool & one window faces the next-door neighbors. The bathroom is nice. Plenty of counterspace for our things. The description says the condo sleeps 3, but that's only because they've put a small camp bed in what was the bedroom closet. All of the condo, except the kitchen, is carpeted & there's a little vacuum in the corner in case you track in too much sand. The view from the living room was great! Right on the beach so we could watch & hear the waves & birds. It was so relaxing!! There were a couple of adirondack-type chairs & a side table so we could sit on the balcony comfortably. There's a gameroom on the bottom floor for everyone staying there, a good-size swimming pool, & a rack with beach chairs, umbrellas, & wave boards you can borrow. The communication with the managers is great & everyone we've dealt with has been friendly. We definitely recommend staying here!!

We love Blue View Inn. My family and I just finished up our second stay here in Townhouse #3. The rooms are clean, the pool is fabulous, and it's right on the beach. We love the chairs provided for the beach as well. Such a great touch! The only thing I would change is closing the pool a little later. We did wish we could do a little night swimming after dinner. Either way, Blue View Inn is a place we have and will continue to recommend to others.
