The Blue Refuge -- Pool and Beach

The Blue Refuge is the perfect spot to take refuge from life’s storms for a little R & R – rest and recharge. Three floors of stunning beauty, thoughtful details, and a suite perfectly designed with kids in mind.

Starting at the ground-floor entrance, we find a beautiful stone floor and garage space that has been transformed into a workout room and office. The two-car section boasts a Peloton and weights while the single car section has been transformed into an office with a comfortable office chair, spacious desk, and a comfy couch. You’ll also find an elevator on this floor waiting to whisk you up to the floors above.

On the second floor you’ll find two guest rooms, a full bath, and a kids’ suite your kids will absolutely love. Featuring two sets of bunkbeds, a full bed, fun, kid-themed artwork on the walls, smaller sized furniture designed with them in mind, and…the piece de resistance…an enclosed porch boasting floor mats designed with all sorts of colorful shapes, small chairs, and a kids’ sized table with two bins filled to bursting with markers. Natural light streams in from the multiple windows adding to the feel of being in nature. Your kids may never want to leave!

Let’s leave them be for a while and head upstairs to the third floor. A large flat-screen TV with two plush couches plus a comfy chair means plenty of seating for everyone. The dining area seats six and is situated next to large windows keeping the space bright and airy. The kitchen is incredible with two sinks, both with garbage disposals, a Wolf gas stove, an oven, a microwave, and tons of counterspace. Plenty of cooking utensils and All-Clad® cookware invite you to recreate your favorite recipes. In the design and concept of this incredible home, no detail was overlooked, no expense spared, and everything was designed with you, the guest, in mind.

As we continue to explore this floor, we find ourselves in the master bedroom. A large, cozy king bed awaits us. A window seat calls to you, asking you to come sit for a while, forget about your worries, and just immerse yourself in nature or a good book. A spacious walk-in closet has plenty of room for your clothes and suitcases. The master bath features a large soaking tub, walk-in shower, and tons of space. Natural light streams in through the windows.

Off the third floor is a balcony that runs the length of the house and features soft, comfortable furniture and an outdoor table and chairs. Looking out from your comfy perch, you’re surrounded by trees and you’ll marvel at the peace and serenity you feel as you stretch out and just breathe.

The Blue Refuge is a dream vacation home designed with your whole family in mind. We know this is a place you’ll want to return to year after year. We look forward to welcoming you.

Quiet and peaceful just blocks from the beach.

Be cautious when booking

Upon our arrival, we were met with a musty odor, visible stains, hairs, and debris on the furniture and beds. Cobwebs were present all around, and the deck had unstable floorboards that posed a safety hazard. The secondary bedrooms and bathroom were clearly neglected. We contacted the host to address these issues. As we settled into the main bed, we encountered spiders and other insects throughout the night. To make matters worse, I was bitten by a spider while in bed. We have photographic proof to support this. The host dismissed our concerns and insisted that nothing could be done. Despite our request for privacy, he continued to contact us at late hours and early in the morning, insulting us and demanding evidence. When we provided the evidence, they threatened legal action if we were to leave an honest review. The unwelcoming attitude, combined with the unhygienic conditions of the property, led us to seek out other accommodations. While the property had some positive aspects such as a wall-mounted TV, a spacious master bathroom, and a new swimming pool, the overall ambiance may not be suitable for all families. The children's play area became extremely hot due to lack of ventilation, the lush vegetation attracted numerous bugs, the cleanliness was subpar, and the hostile behavior of the hosts did not meet our expectations. In the end, we decided to leave the property and make a reservation elsewhere due to these concerns and discomfort, especially with a young child.
