Bluefin is one of my favorite places to stay. The location is unbeatable for those that want to fish and it’s a very efficient use of space. It’s got six beds, but it’s ideal for four people.

The location of Blue Fin is absolutely wonderful. The house was clean and plenty of cooking supplies. The only negative is the indoor sofa’s and mattresses aren’t very comfortable.

Bluefin is a very comfortable house. The kitchen has all the pots and pans that we needed and the grill works well. The best part is the large screened porch.

I think this was perhaps around our 16th annual consecutive two-week stay at IR-15/Bluefin. Much more house than the 3 of us need, but just love the location, privacy and wrap-around decking and screened backed porch. Didn't need to seek assistance from OI Realty this year, but in many previous years they have been very responsive. We've already committed to next July and can't wait to get back!

May 2016 Stay
This house was very well equipped. It had lots of cooking equipment & electronics. We had four couples & never felt like we were on top of each other. Some watched TV & others sat out on the screened porch. Was in walking distance of Howard's Pub & biking distance of the village. Although we had scattered rain showers due to Tropical Storm Bonnie, we still were able to enjoy the beach & ride our bikes. Definitely will consider staying there again.
