“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.

“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.

“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.

“Beautiful home with everything you need!” Wow! This home is not only beautiful and spacious but also probably the most well equiped vacation rentals I have ever stayed! This home has everything! I actually brought a crock pot along with me because all of the rentals I have stayed before never has a crock pot. And low and behold, there was a working crock pot in the cabinet. I especially loved the ice maker in the kitchen since we use so much ice and we never ran out. We had some bad weather for a day or two and we had to stay indoors. There were plenty of games, puzzles and movies so we were never bored. The pool table was a bonus. The kids had a blast in the outside pool. Also, the short walk to the beach was a blessing. On a personal note. The family photos sitting around the house gave us a feeling of home.

“Great, family vacation spot!” We love OBX Blue, they are a great rental company! House was in great condition, love the updated kitchen, rooms and beds were comfy and the distance to the beach was perfect. Excellent play room (for young and old) in the lowest level. I only wish the carpets were cleaner...

“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.

“Great Experience!!!” Our family of 6 stayed at Judge's Chambers over the 4th of July week this year. The house was spacious and had a huge, beautiful pool. The location was great - as close to the beach as you can get without renting a house on it. Extra amenities - such as wireless internet and a gas grill - were much appreciated and utilized! Outer Banks Blue had great customer service. Everything was easy and conducted over the phone and internet. Loved the keyless entry and the linens included. On the one occasion that we had to contact them during our trip, they returned our call promptly and happily answered our question. We would highly recommend both Judge's Chambers and Outer Banks Blue to anyone looking for a great Outer Banks vacation!!

“Awesome time in corolla!!!” This house is awesome! It has lots of amenities that others we have stayed at didnt have. The only downside was the wireless internet the router is in the closet outside near the pool,therefor when you are on the third floor you dont get a signal. It should probably be in the house so it can be used while in the living room. Other than that we had a great time in this beautiful house!

“First time in The Outer Banks” Best deck around...both beach and bay sights to be enjoyed...either just a short walk away. The Outer Bank Blues receptionists were polite and attentive to all our needs...enjoyed the ability to key in upon arrival :) The home was clean and well maintained interiorly...the pool and jacuzzi were a welcomed activity throughout the day and evening! As first timers to the Outer Banks...it was an excellent experience!

“Friendly fun” Loved the nice decor and spacious rooms. A little further out from the beach than I had thought; thank goodness for the walking path. But cannot go wrong with a non-public beach.

“We had an excellent vacation in a beautiful home.” Sea Glass is an absolutely beautiful house. Our family of four shared the house with our friends, a family of three and we had tons of space! The house was spotless upon arrival, had everything we needed. The pictures online are extremely accurate. The pool area is really nice, and the gate around the entire area made us feel very comfortable having 3 small children with us. We loved that it is a carpet free house too, so that it was very easy to clean water and sand. The house is one blocks from the beach, and a 3 minute drive into town, on a very nice block. There is no need to bring any pool toys, beach toys, beach chairs or bikes- they are all provided for you. The only "negative" about the house is that the kitchen is located on the top floor (3 flights of stairs) which makes it a little difficult when you are hanging out by the pool and the kids want something to drink or eat. We would have to get the kids out of the pool, outside of the gated area, and then treck up 3 flights of stairs to the kitchen. I would suggest to the owners that they put a small fridge and counter on the main floor just to keep some snacks and drinks for these situations. However, this is my only suggestion on how to make this house any better. It truly is beautiful, and we will definitely be booking it again on our next vacation to Duck.

“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.

“Relaxing and fun time with friends.” Overall a wonderful vacation with a great check-in and check-out process, extremely clean amenities, and a great location. The only issue that we had was that for 4 days of our 7 day stay the internet at the house did not work. This would not have been a big deal except for the fact that a number of our party members needed to have internet access in order to complete Grad work and school work. Other than this the visit to OBX and Corolla was wonderful and the Corolla Corral was a fantastic home.

“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.

“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.

“Overall Impressed” We have rented this property before, fine walk to the beach! private pool is the best! one small suggestion, because it is a pet friendly home, i would suggest to steam clean the carpet prior to each guest, due to some guests having pet allergies.

“We loved everything about this house” Our family of 18 people loved this house. It was big and never felt crowded. The kitchen was awesome. The fact that every room had its own bathroom was so great. The walk to the beach was only a few minutes away. The pool and hot tub was clean and refreshing. We will return to good day sunshine again!
