The Neighborhood:
It's a quiet neighborhood, full of locals and tucked in between the intercoastal Santa Rosa Sound and the Gulf of Mexico. The beach is a 2 min walk following the boardwalk across the street. This property is attached to the Okaloosa Island Beach Access #1 Boardwalk that goes directly to the Gulf of Mexico's beautiful sugar-white warm sandy beach and the intercostal waterway near the Brooks Bridge. The Santa Rosa Sound is a minute or two on the opposite side, also connected to the boardwalk. Okaloosa Island is known for less crowded beaches and is about 10-15 min from Destin depending on traffic. This neighborhood is located near restaurants, bars, etc.

Getting Around:
Guests staying at 334 Bluefish #1 can easily get around by car, bike, or foot. The townhouse comes with two dedicated parking spots, and there are also additional guest parking spaces available.

The island also has a trolley service that runs during the summer months, providing guests with easy access to the island's many attractions. Additionally, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are available in the area.

Other Things to Note:
Due to being on an island with a tropical climate, there are tropical insects, amphibians, fish, etc. The space is treated regularly for pests however, you may come across a palmetto bug, wood roach, American roach, Ceratopogonidae (no-seams), mosquitos, termites, etc. During storms, we tend to find that insects can and will invade spaces to get away from the rain. While we do take precautions to keep these critters out, it is sometimes out of our control as this is the environment in which we live. The property is located very close to the water — snakes such as water moccasins are seen on occasion, especially near rocks and such, please make sure you are aware of your surroundings. Swimming in the bay there are a variety of aquatic species that can cause harm, swim at your own risk.

Could have been great
Recently remodeled so cute. We walked in and the living room was a rug that had something that resembled dog pee. I called they sent someone right over to shampoo and assuring me it was not pee. Went into the spare room and the throw blanket had something in it not sure what just not clean and had two small bugs on it. I was afraid it was bed bugs. I called again and sent pictures. He said he would be there in an hour to inspect but it was not bed bugs and they did not have another rental available. I went and got cleaner and bug spray after they inspected said everything looked good he took the rug which I was grateful for he left. I washed all the throws and bedding sprayed everything with bug spray and wiped down. The rest of the stay was great close to the beach. The space and furniture was comfortable and pet friendly.

This property has the potential to be rather nice. We arrived very late at night and were very disappointed to find 8 large (approximately 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inch) cockroaches in the unit. We were very hesitant to stay, especially our teenage girls, but the weather was stormy and it was after 11 PM. My daughter and wife literally tried sleeping in our SUV instead of the unit, but came back in at 2 AM because of the thunder and lightning storm. We discovered 6 more large cockroaches the next day, giving us a total of 14. You could also see several legs and antennae of dead cockroaches protrudung from the ceiling tiles in different areas of the unit. We were gone for most of the day enjoying the local attractions. When we came back that evening we were so close to packing up and getting a hotel room after another large cockroach scurried towards my daughters leg. But who wants to spend an additional 350 when we already spent a lot for 2 nights at the VRBO unit. The uninvited guests really put a damper on how much we could enjoy our short trip and made everyone hesitant to use any items in the unit and left us thinking and looking for roaches while in the unit. Overall, there is no way I could recommend this unit to anyone until the infestation is eliminated and corrected. I have not had a negative experience using VRBO until this trip.

Great Location, seems newly renovated.
Half our group stayed in Bluefish #1 and the other in bluefish #3. It’s clear that this property has been newly renovated with nice tile and furniture upgrades. The difference between the two was staggering. Only complain is no dishwasher. Other than that this is a great stay. (I would bring your own pillows if you enjoy more squish in your pillows though)
