FO960 The Blue Pearl

This was a great place for a weekend stay. Close to the beaches we wanted to go to. Clean. Everything provided as described.

I'm not sure why others have left such terrible reviews. Was the Blue Pearl the fanciest place we've ever stayed?...No, but it was a very cute, cozy & quaint beach house. It was exactly what we needed. When traveling it's always just me, my husband & our pup & most of the rentals in OBX are way more than we need. This place was perfect for our little family. The living room furniture is different than the photos, BUT its updated so that was nice. The bed was comfy & the shower water was strong & got super hot which is important to us- the shower was noisy but it was still a good shower. We would definitely stay here again. I think legit the only thing I would have changed is moving the keypad to the side door because you can park by the side door but have to walk around the house to get to the front door to get inside & it was a little annoying but in reality not that big of a deal. Def reccomend for little families :)

It was the cutest little place with everything I needed to make it a pleasant stay. And my dog enjoyed the accommodations as well. Close to everything important; beach, food and fun.

It was a very nice place and I liked the fact it was our own space and not shared. I felt the price was fair

This home is a gem….very cute in its own and convenient. Beautiful accommodations, the games provided were very family oriented and engaging….the entire space is one of a kind.

We arrived on Saturday. The house is adorable. It’s a rustic cottage. Very cozy. Sunday night ran the washing machine and it over flowed water and never drained. We cleaned up the water and reported it Monday morning. They sent someone out who came, left a note that they would send an appliance repairman. We contacted them at least twice a day for updates and to request clean towels. They kept saying they would get us an update and note that we requested more towels. The same back and forth went on for days. Finally on Thursday they told us that a repairman would come in Monday. We were leaving on Saturday. They also finally sent the towels on Thursday. We loved the house but we will never rent thru Vacasa again.

All amenities worked as they should, the water pressure for the indoor and outdoor showers were amazing. The distance between food, the beach, and the sound was perfect. Overall It was a great and comfortable stay for us and our dogs.

Beautiful and very homey feel with great lighting. Super cute area, close to a lot of good eateries and beaches.

We enjoyed our stay and have no complaints whatsoever. It takes grit to make a pearl….Cute, quaint and just enough for a short stay for our family of 4.

The Blue Pearl is a very old dwelling - it reminds me of the old lake cottages you used to see around small lakes. Small rooms, efficient and cozy. This one was well maintained, tastefully decorated in a beach motif. Modern appliances and hot water that was almost instant on. Great shower. As noted i previous posts, the king bed is very close to the floor. That is true - however, once you get in it - you won't mind. Slept well each night. It is a perfect place for two. It sleeps six, I wouldn't want to be there for that. May four - but it is 890 sq. ft., one bath - you do the math. I seem to remember in one of the descriptions it mentioning only partial A/C - It is fully A/C - very comfortable. Wi-Fi works great. The property is located on Hwy 12. Our initial concern was "traffic". Don't worry - after 8:30 - almost no traffic. It was quiet at night. The property is in a great location on the island. You are only 15 minutes from the ferry and about 15-20 minutes to Avon. A lot of great places to eat in Frisco & Buxton as well as close to beach access. It is a lot quieter in that area - not a built up and Avon and other communities to the North. We really liked the area. And we have stayed in Avon, Waver, & Corolla before - the Frisco/Buxton area is our first choice. We had one interaction with management due to a minor malfunction of an appliance. We called, they were happy to hear about it and had in fixed that day (within 4 hours). Their comment was, "we can fix it, if we don't know it is broken". Otherwise, everything else was well maintained and we had no other issues. The neighborhood was very quiet, again we were there the first week in May. If we can't get back into the Blue Pearl the next time - we will be staying in the same general area.

Loved this charming little beach home. Lots of character and close to our favorite beach. Quiet neighborhood and house had everything we needed. Will definitely stay again!

The cottage is clean and well appointed. My partner and I booked this for a long weekend getaway and it met all our needs. I would definitely rent this cottage again for a future trip.

We booked The Blue Pearl on a whim and I'm glad we found this home! Although it's not situated directly on the water, its location was perfect. This historic beach cottage is close to the ground which made it easy for us as we were traveling with our Boston Terriers, Buxton & Hattie. Buxton is a senior dog with mobility issues, so we were glad that we did not have to walk up and down many flights of stairs! The Blue Pearl has neighbors close by, but the property was quiet. It is right on Highway 12, so road noise is to be expected but it did not impact our visit whatsoever. The interior of the home is charming! It reminded me very much of my grandmother's home and I appreciated all of the quirks that come with an older building (I think this home is 100 years old??). There are two mini splits in the home which kept us comfortable and warm. The bed is low to the ground, but we did not mind. Based on previous reviews, we brought an extra blanket with us but there were extra blankets and pillows in the bedroom. We were able to stream our favorite shows on both televisions. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, silverware, cups, etc. The bathroom was probably the coolest spot in the home, but we used a space heater kept in the dining room to warm up that end of the house. There were games and books to enjoy. We also added to the shell collection scattered throughout the house! Overall, we really enjoyed our long weekend at The Blue Pearl. It is close to Ramp 49, stores & restaurants, so its location is very convenient. It was the perfect size for us and it will be our top choice should we find ourselves needing a rental on Hatteras Island in the future.

Very nice stay at The Blue Pearl. Very cute older home (1962? marked on the septic tank). We loved that it only had a few steps into the house. Very nice house for a couple's getaway fishing trip. Loved the extra touches left for the holiday (disposable roasting pan, oven mitts and Thanksgiving theme items). We will book again.

We stayed here as a family of three for a long weekend and it was perfect. The house had all you need for a small beach town. The bed in the master is low to the ground which was fine for us but may not be suitable for everybody. The location is just a few short minutes from several of the beach ramps which gives easy access for fishing. There is also a clean up station at the house to cut up and clean your catch from the day which was an awesome addition. We would stay here again!

First of all I want to start out by saying I really did enjoy this beautiful little home in Frisco. I am not a beach person because of the crowds but Frisco was a beautiful quiet little town and I really enjoyed it. Pros.. well it was adorable, I absolutely loved the house itself. The decor was very neat and I just loved everything about this little old house. We did have a trash issue when we first got there but the company quickly resolved the issue so we did appreciate that. I guess the only cons I have would be that maybe adequate time to really clean the place is not given to the workers. And if it is, then maybe there needs to be a little bit more attention paid to the job. They do ask that the renter clean the floors and things behind themselves which is reasonable (but let’s face it not everyone knows how to clean or cares) but I think you would benefit a little better by replacing the current vacuum cleaner as its power is gone and has seen it’s better days. The couch and chair probably has also seen its best days or either needs a good cleaning. I did have to place blankets down to sit. I guess I bring up cleanliness because there are a lot of disease and viruses in the world which I’m sure none of us want to catch, and also the fact you wanted my honest review. Plus we just don’t want “other guests” left behind, if that makes sense. Other than that I would not let it stop me from renting again in the future. I absolutely enjoyed my stay. Thanks again!!

We really loved this little cocoon for a few days. The proximity to everything and the surrounding quietness. Will definitely recommend to anyone.

We thought this little house was adorable and full of character. I wish there would have been some history written somewhere on this house that I could read because I would be interested in knowing it, being so old. The bed was comfortable, plenty of space for what we needed it for, air and heat worked great. Overall I was happy staying here.

Perfect beach cottage for our family! Super short distance from the beach and easy walk to the sound side. Very very clean and it had many cute little touches like a fish cleaning station, an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach, a full kitchen, and they had games for us all to play on the rainy days. There were some nice restaurants and bars near by as well. The location was actually really convenient especially being that far down on the island. Overall I’d definitely recommend this cute little house to my friends/family and will definitely be coming back!

Our first trip to OBX was made very special by calling the Blue Pearl our home away from home. Very quaint & cozy. Comfortable, convenient, perfect in every way.

Went on a fishing trip for a week. There were 5 of us and had plenty of room. Fish cleaning table was nice to have at the house. House had everything we needed and we were close to the point. We booked again for our next fishing trip.

The house was very cute, very clean and well decorated. Very close to ramp 48 and 49 and all our favorite local restaurants. Well stalked so we didn’t need to get anything and even had a fish cleaning station which was great for the guys. We had multiple families there and had plenty of space. Outdoor shower was convenient when we came back from the beach. They also had a few games there for us for game night. Would definitely stay again.

This little cottage was everything we needed! Such a sweet little place right on Highway 12; less than 10 minutes from the Cape Hatteras lighthouse and beach access, an excellent location for a weekend getaway in the beautiful Outer Banks. Clean, adorable interior, responsive property management, and lots of natural light inside— as an added bonus! Just the perfect little place to relax and kick your feet up. We will be returning!
