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 house itself was great. Well equipped and plenty to keep all the kids busy. The kitchen had plenty of everything we needed, but didn’t have any pot holders (kitchen towels worked just fine though). The two dishwashers and multiple refrigerators were VERY useful.
The only complaints from our crew was the recliners weren’t cleaned and one side was broken. The outside space would be fun in the summer, but very few chairs on the awesome deck spaces, and the location of the hot tub was terrible. This house has an incredible view over the sound, but if you get in the hot tub, you just stare at the carport walls, not exciting.
Our biggest complaint is not with the house, but with Vacasa. The handful of people we talked to on the phone were very pleasant, but scattered across the country and we were on hold for at least 10 minutes every time we called. It is not the same feel as the local companies we’ve used for decades. The 5pm check-in time was just ridiculous, especially when considering the house was vacant days before we arrived. Even a 10am check out time and a 5pm check-in seems like we are paying for a day we can’t use. I doubt our families will use Vacasa for any further traveling housing needs.

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!
6 / 10Average·Sep 2023
This was our 12th year taking our family on vacation to Avon. We have been renting a different house each year (not always by choice) and therefore have a pretty good idea of what a decent rental should look like. The location of Blue Waters was truly amazing with its completely unobstructed view of the sound and so much fascinating wildlife in the tall grasses surrounding it!
Before getting into details of this property, I would like to acknowledge that everyone has different expectations, making some of my criticism subjective and mostly based on personal preferences. But some of the issues were plainly unacceptable.
We loved that this property had en-suite bathrooms in all their bedrooms. Spending vacations with your older children usually entails bringing along their partners. The privacy this layout offered was perfect. Sadly, there were hardly any blankets in the house, other than the bedspreads. Luckily, most of us had brought their own blankets, so this wasn’t an issue for us.
The house was also clean and neat on the surface. Whoever prepared the house certainly put in a lot of TLC when they placed the towels and toiletries in the bathrooms and prepared the beds. It looked very welcoming.
The pool was clean (not so much the lawn chairs) and the deck size was suffice for a large family to hang out together. The living room had a very nice library, filled with science books on a plethora of topics which we all enjoyed very much.
Now, for the not so pleasant things.
What was clearly unacceptable was the cockroach problem. We found several in the bedrooms at our time of arrival, and positively identified them as the ‘American Cockroach’, which infests homes, and which is completely different from water roaches, which are harmless. We bought traps and caught quite a few during our stay, but were very worried that we would inadvertently bring some of them home with our luggage.
When we looked for a dish brush under the kitchen sink, we found a two gallon mixing bowl wedged underneath the drain pipes, filled to the rim with fowl smelling water. Luckily, my husband is handy and was able to temporarily join the pipes with surgical tape we had in our first aid kit. This was definitely unacceptable and should have been caught by management during inspection!
Being that the shore is a sandy place, even with the best precautions you will be dragging some sand into the house. But there were no brooms to be found anywhere, not even a dustpan! This made it impossible to keep the place tidy, and you always felt sand under your feet which was quite frustrating.
The open kitchen was super small with only one narrow cabinet for food storage. The combined counter space was barely 9’ long which allowed only 1 to 2 people in the kitchen at a time. While the two dishwashers came in very handy and worked well, the oven hardly worked at all. It took us an hour to heat up a frozen pizza. The refrigerator was nice and had a good capacity, and there were
