This home provided the space and views we desired in a family vacation. We love being right on the beach, and the decks provided opportunity to enjoy the ocean views at any time.

Everything was wonderful except the bottom floor AC was not working and a replacement was not received until Thursday. Hoping there can be consideration of a partial refund for this inconvenience considering a bedroom was impacted.

Nice rental, loved that we could bring our dog. Fairly well equipped, and the exterior elevator was nice for getting our belongings moved. There is no cable, only streaming, so that was a disadvantage when trying to get local news and weather but there was good wi-fi so that helped. This location is great - walking distance to shops and restaurants if you don't mind a bit of a walk. The downstairs bedroom and bath with kitchenette were great and would be perfect if you have older folks with you. The pool table was fun but small and cramped, still enjoyed it and foosball.

The home was well appointed and comfortable for our group of 8. Direct beach access was a bonus and made things very convenient.

Love the location of the home, the ease of accessing the beach, the views of the ocean from the home are superior! The home is updated and clean. The home is very spacious, we had 5 adults and 2 children, never felt crowded by any means. We would definitely rent this home again!

Blondie East was perfectly located, close enough to bridge if you want to go off island but tucked away in quiet neighborhood. Ocean front, 3 story duplex with all amenities. 4 bedrooms with comfortable beds and great views.

We loved the location and the great views. The house was nice and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed walking on the beach with our grandaughter and laying out in the sun. Blue water realty was very easy to work with. We would stay at blondie east again and hopefully we will in the future. The Mobleys

Blondie East has everything needed for a great family vacation from evening entertainment in the game room at the pool & fuse ball tables to helpful baby equipment like the pack N play and high chair. Our multi-generation Thanksgiving was a huge success - we hope to make it an annual tradition. The house is decorated beautifully too! This was our second visit here and loved it!
