Blue Waters was a perfect beach house for our family vacation. We loved having all master bedrooms, the pool and theater room provided endless entertainment for all ages and the view of the sound and evening sunsets were breathtaking. We hope to rent this house again next year! Thank you!

The home is very spacious and accommodating for a large group. The game room and theater room were a great amenity! The view of the sunsets each night was an added bonus. The only recommendation is to upgrade the coffee maker.

Our family has been coming to OBX for 40+ years and have stayed in a lot of homes. This one was perfect for our family with the 6 king bedrooms and a kids room. The extra amenities were awesome! We would stay here again!

Overall nice! Furniture needs a little updating. Lots of stairs (the elevator works but is slow)... Breathtaking views and nice quiet community for walks. Good location, very close to Food Lion and a few restaurants. Pool area was nice and lots of extra spaces for hanging out. Fun family trip!!!

This was a WONDERFUL house with exceptional views! The photos don’t do it justice. It was very clean and spacious. The rooms were all quiet. It was walking distance to grocery stores, coffee, shops, and restaurants. It was a great location. We were worried about some of the older reviews, but it’s clear Vacasa read them all and made updates/changes. We would definitely stay in this house again!

We stayed in this house in 2019 and returned this year because of the location (we love Avon), the pool, the elevator, the number of rooms, the theater room. We appreciate some of the upgrades since then (new carpet on the stairs, new flooring in some of the rooms, new deck on the west side, etc.)

We loved the view, everyday, no matter the temperature. We loved the open living area upstairs and the living area downstairs. Thank you for your prompt response with the few maintenance requests. I cannot express the beauty and tranquility that surrounds this property. Thanks for a great week!

Nice quite neighborhood and semi private with open lots on 3 sides. Some non-stick frying pans and higher quality cooking utensil’s would be an easy upgrade. Clean pool and plenty of TV’s too, but no ESPN on Roku :-(

Blue Waters was a great house for our annual family vacation. We all were blown away by the view—sunrise over the ocean, sunset over the sound. We had enough space for the whole family. We loved the pool table and the theatre. All the bedrooms were good sized and each bathroom was very nice. We loved having the elevator - it made it so much easier to bring groceries up to the kitchen. Double dishwashers and double washer/dryers really helped us. The house was spotless when we arrived. The cleaning crew did a great job! We loved the pool and the hot tub. We didn’t use the kayaks but it was good to know they were there. The location was great. We always stay in Avon because it’s close to the grocery store, the pier, Canadian hole and only a 20 minute ride to Hatteras Snowballs We only discovered the path to the boardwalk and Sound toward the end of our week. It would have been helpful to have a guest book in the house ( every previous house we’ve rented had one) that highlights things to do, including a map of the area with the trails noted. The towels provided in the bathrooms were the thinnest I have ever used. If you are providing them with the house, you should invest in quality. Our one complaint has to do with the size of the kitchen. The house has 7 bedrooms but the kitchen is small. When you buy food and cook for 7 couples, you need space. Counter space was limited and there was little cabinet space for pantry items. We wound up putting food items in bags on the floor because there was minimal cabinet space. The Wifi was excellent—with all the laptops, phones and tablets going at once, the signal was always strong. We all had a great time at Blue Waters, and even with the small kitchen would recommend it to any family.
