“Wonderful Vacation in Beautiful Beach House” We spent the last week in May at this Beach House. Everything was included in this rental home. There are bikes to ride, sand toys, beach games, board games, video games, books, an extensive video collection, movie services, WIFI, full kitchen, hot tub, swimming pool, and a beautifully decorated home. We enjoyed our trip so much. We had so much to do even when it rained. My 2 year old son loved the bunk beds. Corolla Beach is just a close walk. I hope we can come again! I don't think I would stay anywhere else on the Outer Banks.

“Lovely, spacious and thoughtfully stocked home” Kelly's Beach Retreat is a fantastic place. Steps from the beach, thoughtfully stocked, and with an inviting open kitchen and dining room. The place gets amazing light and is very relaxing. Glenn was great to work with as well. Our only note is that while the home is wonderful for families--and large ones at that!--parents of toddlers should note that there are a lot of steps that are very attractive to little climbers. Had we thought about it, we would have put a mini gate or something in the car with us.

“Tarheel Treasure Pleasure” My entire experience from beginning to end was very pleasant. The house was perfect for our needs and I really appreciated the convenience of the keyless entry. The neighborhood was quiet and not far at all from grocery stores and shopping. And even better was the very short walk to the beach!

“Great beach vacation” Wine down had everything we needed for a wonderful beach vacation with 4 families and 20 individuals. The charcoal grill, hot tub, pool, and casual stroll to the ocean were perfect for occupying all ages of our gathering. Outer banks blue was very accommodating to all of our needs. There was plenty of room for individuals but also great gathering areas for the entire group. The house offered many amenities such as movies, games, lots of outdoor seating, just about every kitchen item you would need.

“Beautiful, cozy home close to the beach” Beautiful home with great decks and ocean views. It's right near the beach access path and it's a short walk. The pool and hot tub are great it's a very family friendly, cozy home.

“Another great year in Corolla Light” One Grand Whim was a nice choice for us. It was well equipped. The location was close enough to enjoy a short bike ride to the beach and pool, and the house came with more bikes than we had ever had at CL before! The porch was perfect for sitting and relaxing. The layout of the living room/dining room/kitchen worked nicely. The hot tub was a nice plus. Only minus was there were no king sized beds, although three masters was a nice perk.

“Lovely house in great family location” This was our first visit to the Outer Banks and will not be our last. We were concerned that after Irina the house would be a mess, but on the whole it was great. There was some minor damage to a couple of screens, but otherwise the house is in great condition and was clean. The beach is a short, safe walk from the property and, in September, it never got very busy the whole time. There is a supermarket 5 minutes drive away and a number of restaurants in the area (the good ones require booking a table). The kitchen has the basics but bring your own chopping boards, condiments etc if you plan on cooking. Unfortunately the previous renters had used the play area as kennel for their dog and it was full of excrement. We called the management company, Outer Banks Blue, who apologized and said they would send someone over. We called again the next day but no one ever did come. That's a shame because it's a nice house and the response of the management company to our one small problem is the only thing that would make me think twice about using it again.

“Wonderful beach vacation” This was a great home that was so very close to the beach. Beautiful home that was equipped with everything. The family had a wonderful time. The pool was so much bigger than I expected. We also liked the fact that it was dog friendly. A very nice touch was that the owner contacted us the second day we were there to see if everything was okay. I would certainly rent this beautiful home again!!!

“A well-appointed property” The house was perfect for the two of us, plus the adult couple who visited us for part of our stay. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen was clean and well equipped, the living room had all the modern necessities. We loved the in-ground pool, the hot tub, the bicycles, the basketball goal and the beach cart. If we could make one improvement, it would be a larger deck since this one was cut in half by the screened-in porch. But that's a small shortcoming in what is otherwise a superb beach retreat.

“All that we expected” Excellent accomodations as described online.Kitchen was the most well equipped we have ever stayed in.Plenty of good pots pans plates glasses cups bowls/everything to accomodate large groups including a super large dining table as well as a bar with stools.Two diswashers guaranteed fast cleanup.Stocked spice Cabinet. Short walk to the beach.The beach closet contained everything needed.Umbrellas several chairs beach toys floats buggie boards,some fishing items,buckets large and small shovles and more.A beach cart was there to transport items.The bedrooms were large and spacious and there were plenty of bathrooms for everyone.Tv's were in each bedroom as well as the game room (w/Pool Table) and the living room on the top level as well as DVD players and WiFi. The pool was a favorite gathering spot as was the hottub for adults and kids. Outside showers were available to rinse the sand off after the beach trip.Shelves full of books and some Dvds were there also. The community pool and Tennis courts were close and in excellent condition. Shopping locations were close by for groceries and other stuff.The only problem we had was the ice dispenser on the frig was broken.The ice maker worked well and we had plenty of ice and no probem opening the door to get it.It just didn't dispense. Maintenance checked it and were working to get it repaired. A child gate was at the stairs to prevent little ones from tumbling.The 4 digit combination lock on the second floor door worked well with no keys to keep up with. The washer/dryer was used extensively and functioned perfectly.We had 13 from seniors to a 6 month old and had empty bunk beds.Handicapped will have a problem with the stairs and the master bedroom and kitchen/dinning area are on the top floor with no elevator.Heavy auto traffic arriving and departing July 4th week.Check with Outer Banks Blue for best arrival time with least stop and go traffic. We understand this is normal most of the year. Our week was enjoyed by all.

“Fantastic home!” Very well-appointed home - nicely decorated and many amenities (kitchen equipment, books, beach toys, chairs, etc.) Perfect floor plan for our group of seven; the layout worked very well for our family of five on the middle floor (in three bedrooms) and the two grandparents upstairs off the main living area. The location was fantastic - very short walk to the beach in one direction and the pool in the other. Also, the Crown Point subdivision is situated close enough to TimBuck II that walking there is also very feasible.

“Our stay allowed us to create alot of wonderful memories!” Overall, the stay was wonderful! The size of the home was more than accomodating and it was nice to have so many options to sleep! The ease of booking and check in was 5 star! The only down side to this vacation was that the home was not extremely clean and there was an alarm going off in the backyard that was pretty loud. We found a couple of things that may have been left by the cleaning company, but were a bit unsettling. There was a surgeons mask left in one room and insulin needles in another. Also, there was an alarm that went off early one morning in the back yard that was flashing and had a loud beeping noise. We could not turn it off and because it was New Year's day there was no one available to come out and fix the situation. As mentioned before, these are all things that are minor and we had a wonderful vacation creating memories! We would stay in this house again and would recommend this to a friend.

“Great family home” We had a great week at Oasis in late June. We loved the private pool, and it also had plenty Of pool and beach toys. The kitchen was fully Stocked with everything we needed. The house Is in a private neighborhood, and it was easy and safe to walk up the street to the beach. We had people ranging in age from 3 weeks To 76 with us, and this house fit all our needs. I would stay here again.

“Our vacation was awesome!” Outer Banks Blue is an awesome company to deal with. The house was ready on time; it was neat and clean. When a problem arose with the hot tub, Outer Banks Blue was on it and had it fixed as soon as possible. The house fit our needs perfectly. We were very pleased. This was our first visit to the Outer Banks, and we look forward to many more.

“Nice House-Bad Rental agency” The house was great, unfortunately we had a terrible expierience with the rental agency.
