A nice place on the Space Coast

Our accommodation was very nice and in a great location. The owner/property manager was very friendly and helpful. All six of us in our group agreed that this will be the place to stay on our next fishing trip to the Space Coast area.

Stay

The check in process was easy. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. It was in an ideal location for us, close to the beach and close to stores and everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again!

Updated cottage close to the beach

We enjoyed our stay with our family here. Owner had everything we needed, including beach chairs, umbrella, and toys to enjoy the beautiful beach in walking distance. The owner was easy to work with and took care of us. The house accommodated our extended family of eight well.

Dog Friendly near the sea

Great host! Older home with updates, open plan, well located in low key beach area, relaxing. Screened porch a bonus (but could use some TLC). Nice park nearby, can view post rocket launches from the driveway!

Spring Break getaway

The Blue Fin bungalow was perfect for our Spring Break getaway to visit Florida grandparents. The many beach items, close proximity to the beach, and quiet neighborhood were a wonderful addition to a lovely home that was well-suited for our needs. Impromptu and informal family gatherings were easily managed in the open kitchen and living area. We would definitely consider staying at this home again.

Our second wonderful stay at the Blue Fin

This was our family's second time renting from Tesi and staying at the Blue Fin. Our family is grateful for the Blue Fin being our "home away from home." The house and amenities, as well as the close location to the beach, meet our family's needs beautifully. We are also impressed with renting from Tesi; communication is clear and any minor problems are immediately addressed. She provides toys and board games which is a plus since we don't need to take these items with us. A stroller and beach toys were also available. Tesi is from the area and lives close by, so it's great to get tips from a local. We are already planning to rent from Tesi a third time for our 2025 vacation to the Space Coast.

Belated family Christmas

Our family of 6 plus one infant enjoyed our 8 day stay at this home. We walked to the beach every morning to watch the sunrise and look for seashells. We looked for crabs in the evenings. We enjoyed many activities in Melbourne, Port Canaveral, and Vero Beach. The grocery store was only 5 minutes away. Thus, making it very convenient to stock up the kitchen. Our family looks forward to returning next winter.

Blue Fin Bungalow is ideal for families & beach time

Our family loved our stay at the Blue Fin Bungalow. It was ideal for our large family; we had plenty of space and beds. The owner, Tesi, was great about bringing over board games, a baby stroller, and beach toys. We also had a 3-in-1 game table. The home is beautifully decorated in beach themes which added to the coziness of it. The best part of our stay was the incredible communication and concern of Tesi. Through no fault of hers, we had an electrical outage which impacted the neighborhood for hours. Tesi was wonderful throughout the experience, including checking on us in person and lending us flashlights. She made things right about a situation that had been out of her control. In addition, she gave us numerous tips about area activities and dining. How blessed we were to have a vacation home owner who treated her guests like family! We definitely have plans to return to the Blue Fin. It is a very short walk to the beach & was truly a vacation. Thank you, Tesi & family.

Less than ideal

I generally overlook a few negatives in a property in favor of the bigger picture, but in the case of this house, I feel I need to disclose the whole story. My family and I stayed here for 5 days including a 4 month old baby. The host asked that we please treat her house as if it was her own and I wholeheartedly agreed. However, I'm sure that at her house, the sheets are not threadbare, the pillows aren't flat, and the towels aren't fit to be rags to wash the car. The kitchen was also poorly stocked, skillets that should have been thrown in the trash a long time ago, dull knives, only 4 small coffee mugs for 6 adults, etc. Since we were traveling with a baby we had to do laundry every evening, this was difficult because there was no laundry basket. On the positive side, the house was close to the beach but be aware that there is no sidewalk on the house side of the main road. We were close to shopping and restaurants and to Orlando attractions. The Kennedy Space Center is only 45 minutes away. My entire party agreed that this house could be perfect if the host would get the small things right.

Great location!

We were only here for a short time due to an unexpected emergency back home, but we enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect - near lots of shops, restaurants and the beach. It also is not too far off I-95, which was important to us. The yard was perfect for our dog. House was well kept and had plenty of dishes, pots/pans, etc. Tessi was very responsive, which was much appreciated. We hope to be back for longer next time.

Fantastic Home away from Home

We enjoyed our stay at this location. You could easily walk to beach, which we did, but we drove if we were carrying along chairs, umbrella, etc. Lots of great places to eat. We tried several of the ones that they suggested and we weren't disappointed.

Birthday getaway

The home owner was great ! She worked with us on a last minute late checkout, however there was a miscommunication between home owner and housekeeping. She showed up at her normal time and we ended up rushing to gather our things and wait outside for our scheduled Ubers. The house is quite cute.and comfortable. Plenty of amenities for our 2 night stay. I do feel the information on location was a bit misleading. The beach is definitely more than a few minute walk as well as the few nearby restaurants. Overall, the house is great! Just wish the description of location was more accurate!

Wonderful family getaway

We really enjoyed the Blue Fin Cottage it was more than a cottage. It was my 70th birthday. Most of our family was there. We we’re excited about all the amenities the house had. However, I must say a few of the frying pans probably should be thrown away and the spice cabinet needs an overhaul. Our beds were comfortable, bedrooms were updated, internet was more than sufficient for our needs , the ocean play things and coolers were definitely appreciated. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Quiet location for family stay

Extended family and friends stayed here with us for our son's wedding. We have stayed in a lot of vacation rental homes and used to be hosts ourselves, and this one is comfortable and a good value for the price, with basic amenities. A lovely bottle of wine and some snacks were waiting for us when we arrived. The house is older (most windows, patio door) but spacious and remodeled in the kitchen and other rooms. The beds were comfortable though some linens (shams etc.) were a bit worn out. It's a short walk to the public beach (across the A1A and down past a couple of buildings). There is a crosswalk with two big flashing signs to stop traffic, which was great. The screened-in porch had some small holes/tears in some of the screens--since it was January (no bugs) it wasn't an issue for us--and though not a huge disappointment for our group, the foosball table pictured in the listing was not there. To be fair, we didn't have time to contact the host about it due to wedding preparations. When we did have occasion to contact her (arrival and departure), she responded quickly. The neighborhood is very quiet and the yard is charming with plenty of flowering bushes even in January. We appreciated that there were a few beach chairs in the garage and lots of beach towels. Tesi provides a booklet with a lot of information about the house and area which was very helpful. All in all a nice stay in Melbourne.

Cute house in a great location

My family and I really enjoyed staying in this house. It’s in a nice neighborhood with a community park/playground/pool nearby and across A1A to the beach. The bedrooms are large, and the beds are so comfortable. The house has a nice layout and is decorated nicely. It was convenient to have a washer and dryer, and the house was stocked with dishes, pots and pans, cooking utensils, spices, etc. If we are in the area again, we will definitely check to see if this house is available.

Awesome stay

This was by far the best stay we’ve ever had! Everything was clean and tidy! Although we had a couple of issues (none that was in anyone’s control) at the beginning Tesi and her husband were in contact in minutes to make our stay the most comfortable it could be! I would most definitely stay at any of her properties again! The beds are all super comfy and it’s very clean and tidy. If you need anything at all she responds with in the hour! She will go above and beyond to do everything for her guests! Everything was well stocked and had plenty of towels and toys and things for the beach! Highly recommend!

Softball tournament stay...

Great accommodations!! The rooms were perfect, especially for 3 teenage girls. Great location, not far from The USSSA Space Coast Complex, traffic was a breeze....The owner, Tesi was an absolute delight, was quick at helping us with an unexpected night at a different location. We highly recommend it to everyone.

Wonderful stay!

We absolutely loved this charming and inviting property. It was beautifully appointed with comfortable and stylish furniture throughout and it had all the amenities anyone could possibly want to make themselves at home. The owner was an absolute delight to deal with, answering all our questions and quickly responding to a couple of our issues. In short, if you are looking to spend your vacation in a nice home, near everything, in a pleasant neighborhood, this place is for you. We highly recommend it to everyone.
