Traveler review for this vacation rental (194562) 5/5
WOW - What a Christmas Vacation!
Happy in Laguna Beach Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.
Date Submitted: January 05, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We rented Blue Waters for the week of Christmas so four generations of family could spend the holiday together. The house was perfect! With parents who are 84 and 86, the elevator made it possible for them to be part of the holiday. Debbie Carnegie has done a wonderful job making the rental feel like home. We had everything we needed to enjoy our time together. The property was extremely clean and well maintained.
For anyone who is considering Blue Waters - you can't do better! The beach was less than a block away with beach access right there. Pier Park is less than 5 minutes away with great restaurants and shopping. Three grocery stores are within 10 minutes. And, don't miss the wonderful donut shop right down the street on Front Beach Road! Donuts better than Krispy Kreme!
I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a good time at the quiet end of the Beach!

Around Christmas of '06 my wife and I began to talk about what we were going to do for Christmas gifts for our family that year.
I came up with the idea that since my family takes a family trip every
year together why didn't the both of us just pay for the trip for everyone and that could be their Christmas gift. We agreed upon that and decided that the Gulf Coast of Florida would make a perfect vacation spot; also, every one in my family had mentioned the previous year that they would like to see the blue waters of the Gulf; normally we vacation on the Atlantic coast and the water is very murky. I then set out
searching for that perfect vacation home. It took me several weeks searching
for a home that was suitable and could accommodate a group of about 11 people, which included 3 children. After much searching I came across The Blue Waters.
Immediately my wife and I fell in love with the house. The pictures included
on the website were very helpful as was the description of the house. We were very impressed with the fact that the house had an elevator, which would come in handy as my elderly grandmother would be traveling with us and she has a difficult time walking. So we booked the house and I must say that Debbie Carnegie was wonderful to work with, I really do appreciate her!
When we arrived at the house it became the moment of truth. We all know
those times when we make a reservation at a hotel because we see the wonderful pictures and then arrive only to find that the pictures were no where close to the condition of the hotel; we were now approaching that same moment. However, I must say that the photos on the website
only underestimated our thoughts of the house. Being there and seeing what a wonderful house that it is and the setting with the courtyard was just wonderful! The rooms were very spacious, the bathrooms very specious, the kitchen very well equipped and elegant, just everything, everything was PERFECT! My wife and I claimed the 3rd floor master bedroom and bathroom!! I tell you it was wonderful! The shower was elegant, the jetted tub was wonderful. I just cannot say enough wonderful things about this
house. It truly made our vacation just that much more enjoyable. We will definitely stay here again should we ever visit the Gulf coast again!
In regards to the location of the house; it was PERFECT. Far enough away from the "ACTION" that it wasn't too busy or loud but close enough so that everything including stores and attractions were very conveniently located. We truly had a memorable time at The Blue Waters!
God bless and thank you for allowing us to occupy your beach house 8/4/07 - 8/11/07.

WOW! What a great place this was to spend our vacation! This home has it
all, and all of it is brand new. This was an ideal spot for three families to share (two king suites and a queen room with bunk room)-- we had lots of room to spread out in
living/dining/kitchen areas, with a separate area for the kids to watch tv and play games. The bedrooms were large for our private time.
The short walk to the beach was eased by owner's provision of cart to carry
chairs, ice chest, etc. Close enough to PCB for fun, yet on quiet West end of beach -- light crowds even during peak season.
And...there is a home-made donut
shop less than 1/2 mile down Front Beach road with to-die-for donuts!!!
Worth every penny of our vacation dollar, and we want to go back again! |
