For decades here at Rivard by Ocean Reef Vacation Rentals, one of our favorite beach communities along Scenic 30A, has been Blue Mountain Beach. Visitors here love the chill atmosphere that this special hamlet offers. It's simply one of the coolest places around. Originally named for the blue Lupine flowers that Spanish conquistadors incorrectly identified as blue mountains, far beyond the dunes, Blue Mountain Beach is, in fact, a prime place to put on your South Walton bucket list of must-stays.
There's a fantastic Sunday farmers market that takes place in the heart of town, as well as some great places to eat and fun spots for nightlife that shine brightly into the wee hours of the night, even in the off-season. The location just 3 miles west of Seaside makes this place a favorite for guests who want to stay in the heart of it all along 30A. To that end, we've collected a few of our favorite Blue Mountain Beach condominium complexes. They blend elegance, luxury, convenience, and practicality in a very special, beachy way. Peruse this list and then give us a call, and we will help you plan your next perfect Blue Mountain Beach escape.
Blue Mountain Villas
First up on our list are the beautiful Blue Mountain Villas. These beachfront, bungalow-style condos feature unparalleled views of the white sand shore and the Gulf of Mexico. Accommodations here range from one to two bedrooms, with select rentals on the upper floors offering vaulted ceilings and relaxing lofts. Grand porches look out over bright green fields atop the dunes and are the perfect place to enjoy libations of any kind. Do not miss a sunset here. The exterior is very modern, while the interiors are more candy-colored and beachy fun. You'll love staying here for a family retreat or a romantic stay; either way, come enjoy these villas.
Sandcastles by the Sea
Next up on our list is Sandcastles by the Sea, which is a two-story townhome hidden off 30A. This particular complex is nestled in the tree canopy in Blue Mountain Beach. Located just a very short stroll across the street to the public beach access, this community offers a pool of its own and lots of grounds to walk or perhaps have a barbecue on the grill. Rentals here accommodate up to eight guests and feature wraparound porches, so you're never far from the fresh sea air. Floor plans are wide and open, and the bedrooms are large and inviting. You're sure to return to this Sandcastle in Blue Mountain Beach.
Sea Bluff
Sea Bluff is a fantastic spot, set on top of the dunes; it makes the best use of its location with amazing views of the beach far below and, at night, the stars far above. Spacious living and primary bedrooms define these properties, seven of which are beachfront, many of the bedrooms have en suite baths, and the patio level places offer even more access to the beautiful grounds. Up to eight guests can stay in these accommodations, and all of the rentals are very well-appointed with king and queen-size beds. The focal point has to be the lagoon-style community pool. Your friends and family will dig Sea Bluff; you're sure to have a beachy time in this one.
Sunseekers
For those seeking some fun in the sun, Sunseekers has exactly what you're looking for. These quaint units open up onto a large community grassy area at the edge of the dunes, offering beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico. You'll love staying here; the rentals have a very cottage-style interior. Modern touches around every corner make for a very comfortable stay. This place has the cute, beachy vibes you've been looking for. It's the perfect escape for small families, groups, and couples, as all of the units accommodate up to six guests.

Thirty Blu
Last but not least, by a long shot, we come to Thirty Blu. A modern, multi-level take on what a beach vacation can be. This community starts at the opulent community pool, which has massive stainless steel grills for barbecues. It finishes with some of the best accommodations on 30A, hands-down, that you'll find anywhere. These massive townhomes feature spiral staircases, expansive living and dining rooms, as well as state-of-the-art kitchens and crisp, clean, bright spaces to sleep and relax. At first blush, you'll love the accouterments, the door handles, the way the shelves accommodate, and the drawers slide slowly; no detail is too small not to be top-of-the-line at Thirty Blu. Up to 10 lucky guests can stay in these beautiful accommodations. Time here is well spent either inside, on the rooftop deck, or along the sandy white shores that are just a short stroll away.
