Great Family Vacation

Very cute vacation cottage right on the beach. Nice layout so everyone can be spread out. We have 3 little ones and appreciated that there were retractable baby gates at the top on the stairs. Only issue was there were sugar ants in the kitchen but the management company was very quick and responsive with solutions. Would stay here again.

Great House... beach access...not the best

There is no easy way down to the beach and especially back up. The dune is high and there are no stairs. Up from the beach to the deck. Overall, the house is very nice. We had a good stay. Easy access to many places.
Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 15 June 2023
William, Thanks for your comments about "The Cottage." Sorry you were disappointed with the beach access. This is one of the more established properties in the area and the owner has chosen to keep the ocean access as a natural path from the back steps out to the beach. We are glad you had a great stay however, and we hope you may be back with us soon at Outer Banks Blue!

Right on the beach

Beautiful home, wonderful screened in porch and well appointed family space with lots of extras like games and puzzles. Could use some darkening curtains in the east facing bedrooms. We were up with the dawn—Which was lovely on the deck with a cup of coffee! A bit of a bumpy start as the stove top was broken and we couldn’t cook anything, but on day 3 they got us fixed.

Simply Wonderful

This place was fantastic.. It is in an A+ location. Less than 5 minutes from everything you need. The house itself was very clean, very spacious and can comfortably hold a large family. Each room had nice linen provided, the kitchen has all the dishes you’d ever need. The kitchen appliances were really nice and each of the 6 rooms having a TV is nice. The screened in porch is so lovely and the walk out overlooking the ocean is magnificent. The walk down the dune to the beach is kind of steep but it is not that difficult for a child or an adult. If you are an older adult/elderly with mobility issues, though, you will probably have a hard time. We were able to get my mid-70’s father-in-law down the dune to the beach but we had to have a lifeguard give him a ride on a 4-wheeler from the beach to the street at the beach access 2 doors down. All in all, we had such lovely time and would definitely book this property again in the future.

Great Location to Everything!

Thank you so much for hosting us! We had the best stay at this beach house. You can't beat the proximity to the beach - it is literally in your backyard. It is also close to everything - grocery stores, mini golf, ice cream, shopping, etc. The layout of the place is excellent for multiple families. We all had our own "wing" with your own bathroom so you had your privacy, but also had common space to share. There were a few nights when my 1 year old was up crying and no one heard him at all - which is a huge bonus with young children. Everything was clean and as described. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need and the ice maker was a HUGE bonus especially with filling up coolers, drinks for a large group, etc. There were a few things that I noticed: the screen was missing on the door on the back porch. I think this deterred people sitting out there especially in the evenings with the bugs. Also the TV in the main living room did not work and no one could really figure it out. Would have been nice for the kids during down times to be able to watch TV. The TVs in all the rooms worked great though. We all had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again! Thank you, again!

Great house with a view

this house had it all...it is a really nice house, renovated and clean with nice furniture and accommodates 6 couples. Our favorite part was waking up to the cool breeze and having a cup of coffee on a screened in porch with an amazing view of the ocean. Having a beach in my backyard was so convenient with kids... only thing we noticed was the refrigerator in a kitchen had seal coming off which made it closing all the way hard if not careful. Overall, we loved the house. We're looking forward to booking it again.
