With over 4000 square feet that has been thoughtfully designed for your every whim, finding your happy place in Shenanigans is easy-peasey. Get rowdy in 30A’s best game room; curl up with a quiet book in one of the en-suite master bedrooms; tune into the big game or new movie on our every-channel-that-exists cable package; draw a warm bubble bath in one of the three garden tubs; decompress to the sounds of the sea breeze flowing through our palm trees on any of our four balconies; or just let the kids entertain themselves far away in the third floor game room while the adults unwind with a bottle of Chardonnay in the travertine and granite first floor living area.
This is your opportunity to create memories with family and friends that you will cherish forever. Don’t rent just another beach house. Reserve the one-of-a-kind, all-inclusive Shenanigans beach fun experience for your preferred dates before it's too late!

Big family vacation
We loved our time at Blue Mountain Beach. We had a few issues with the house. It needs some maintenance and upkeep. It’s a beautiful house but it won’t be long if things aren’t addressed. There’s some wood rot inside and out. Definitely needs paint touch up in some places. The rails on some of the staircases are loose. The pictures are probably from when they first listed it and not completely accurate. The game room on the third floor was amazing, when we were home, that’s where we were. I would suggest putting a shower in the third floor bathroom, the bathtub isn’t sufficient for most people. I felt the listing made it sound like a beautiful new home. It is beautiful for the most part but definitely not new. Loved having the golf carts!! I did reach out to the owner and he was very responsive and offered to have someone come address the issues but we knew that it wasn’t a quick fix and we didn’t want the house to be under construction while we were there. We will definitely be back to Blue Mountain Beach. We love it there but felt for the price we payed for this house, it should have been better!!

Beautiful Home and Beaches
The VRBO was perfect for 3 families to gather. We enjoyed the golf carts, the game room, the pool, and the stroll to the beach. The Santa Rosa area has many wonderful restaurants. This is a place that is worth every penny!

Fantastic location
The location exceeded our expectations! 30A is a quiet “highway” with a speed limit of 25 mph. Walkable with a trail along side it and easy access to the quiet and beautiful Blue Mountain beach and ample parking. Fun local shops and coffee all close by. Much quieter than other close beaches. The nice golf carts were a huge bonus for fun driving around and quick access to the beach. The gated community was lovely and the pool very nice. This house is so close to the pool- just the second house away. Great amenities and clean house, plenty of space for sleeping everyone (multiple couples and 10 kids ages 1-12). Both master bedrooms had closets large enough for a pack and play each. All the kitchen amenities needed. We had a few maintenance issues (ice maker in freezer and and AC issue on arrival) but both were a breeze to report with their system and taken care of promptly and to our satisfaction. Had a starter set of basic soaps, hair wash, dish soap, sponge, dish towels, etc. which was very helpful on arrival. Two living spaces gave room to spread out. Really only thing we didn’t love was the carpet (needs replaced and was a little smelly when humid when AC wasn’t working). Otherwise normal wear and tear of a rental. Extra bedding provided too for pull out beds. We didn’t use them but nice to know. Very helpful FAQ list on booking and floor plans to know how to plan sleeping arrangements. Thanks for a great stay!

Hits the marks
A holiday stay for family time was suited to this property. We had asked to check in a bit early, given it was Christmas and unlikely anyone would be checking out that day, but the management is quite rigid. That has some advantages in that they have a strong ticket system to respond to any issues during the stay, but tended to make the interactions a bit more cold. Still, fine location, spacious property, perhaps a bit over-priced for the quality of the property, and with good supporting structure should needs arise.

Perfect Family Vacation
It was big enough to fit our whole family 3 grandparents, 6 adults, and 9 grandchildren. The living room area and kitchen were spacious and never felt crowded at all. The beach was beautiful and easy to get to on the golf carts. The host was very detailed and we felt like we had all the information we needed. The host was excellent and quickly responded.
