Traci,
You made our day with this review! Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent stay. Please come back and stay with us again soon at Outer Banks Blue!
House was awesome! Had everything you could possibly need handy. Location was perfect. 3 blocks away, but basically on the corner and a straight shot to beach access. Some showers and laundry machine were slow to drain, but that's normal when dealing with pipes full of sand, wasn't much of a real issue. Only gripe was we were a little early for pool season. ;)

Thanks for the comment Kevin. We're glad Bellissimo worked for what you needed. Come back a little later in the season and enjoy the pool!
The rooms were a great size, the decks were furnished and easily used. Hot tub was clean and working well. The kitchen floor and floor near the top of the stairs had not been throughly cleaned in awhile. The grout in the high traffic area of the floors was black not light tan like the rest of the floor. Get some grout cleaner and an automatic brush bc the floor is disgusting! Other than that, great place.

Dora, thank you for writing us a review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize that the property wasn't properly cleaned before your arrival. We are glad that otherwise, you enjoyed your stay at Bellissimo, it's a beautiful spacious property. Thank you for choosing Blue!
This was an excellent home and visit. They had everything you needed for the beach, pool, activity! The house was so clean and very comfortable. We loved the location.
We loved our stay at this property and I'd highly recommend it. The house was clean and nicely updated. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and very short walk to the beach.
The property management was wonderful. I had a few questions (like needing the updated wifi information) and was able to text them. They replied immediately and were friendly. I called a few days before the visit with a question and they were happy to help.
The kitchen had everything we needed. We didn't visit restaurants but I know there are many great ones a short distance away. Grocery stores nearby. Everything you need.

Wonderful Property Poor Management
Just to start I’d like to say that the property in itself it’s beautiful! As for the management and instruction ......just poorly done and quite frustrating. There work that had to be done during our stay outside of the property. Did not happen! Staff was at property once we arrived. [we asked that no staff be present during our stay]. Grill was nowhere to be found until after the second day. Fireplace never worked, there where no instructions left for grill nor the GAS fire place. Was told that maintenance had to come inside the property to fix it. Once again did not want staff present due to COVID.
Once we finally agreed to maintenance being present to assist with fireplace.......maintenance never showed up . And when we called back to see why no one came .....we were told by Laura/Lauren”(don’t remember the correct name) that she couldnt keep requesting maintenance for every “little thing” . I was very unhappy that we received this type of reaction from management considering we made definite request and would have liked to enjoyed what was advertised and what we paid for.
On the morning of checkout we had vehicle problems and asked for a late checkout. Was told once again by Lauren” that there was a late checkout fee that she had no clue of what the policy was and gave us a call back to say it was $200 bucks since it was considered a large property but $150 bucks. When we asked how this was possible she said it wasn’t a written policy and that if we Checked out before 1pm we could simply just pay the 150. Sounds a bit under the table-ish to me. So unethical!
Almost felt as if I was begging for something I was owed and treated worse by the extra “unknown fees”
While staff was available via telephone. That did not solve any of our issues on the premises during our stay.
I hope for future reference they live by trial and error!
I would NEVER use this Rental Company again!

Valencia,
Thanks for your review. We did have a lot of back and forth with your group and it was quite confusing for our staff to be called to fix something and then be turned away because you did not want someone there. We regret you did not have a good experience and it is probably best if you find another agency to rent from in the future.
