Renting in Blue Mountain Beach, honestly
The town rents as houses and low-rise condos, mostly owner-held and locally managed, with a scarce gulf-front row on the highest dunes of 30A. Peak summer books months out; shoulder seasons stay friendly. This site lists no homes yet and says so; the guides below make you dangerous at booking anyway.
Everything below is the town's rental market sorted by the questions renters actually ask. Each guide is dated, sourced, and answer-first. Start with the big one, then follow your situation.

Quick questions
What kinds of rentals does Blue Mountain Beach have?
Cottages and older beach houses, a strong tier of newer large builds with pools and bunk rooms, a band of low-rise condos, and a finite true gulf-front row on the 65 foot dune line. No hotels, no towers.
Does this site list properties?
Not yet, and we say so plainly. We are building the honest-guides layer first; owner homes join next, and the direct list is how you hear about it.
