Great location, Beautiful Home, Perfect for Large Groups!
We had a wonderful stay! Convenient location with a short drive to grocery store and local shopping and activities and a quick walk to beach access. Everything was in excellent working order and the bedrooms were spacious and nicely decorated. We loved the pet friendly amenities, with crates provided, an outdoor fenced-in play area, and pet waste bags provided. Very well stocked kitchen with doubles of everything and all the pots, pans, dishes, utensils, and small appliances that make cooking for a crowd a breeze. Everthing was sparkling clean and in good repair! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this rental and management company!
Very Good
The house was perfect for our families. The two refrigerators, two stoves, and two dishwashers made everything so much easier. One dishwasher did break during out visit, but when the problem was called in, the response was immediate. However, a part had to be ordered and didn't make it before we left. The pool was serviced during the middle of the week, plenty of trash cans and they were taking to the street and back by a service. Short walk to the beach, a video game for the kinds, a pool table, and an excellent large screen TV. Again, the family was completely satisfied with the house. This was an animal friendly house, with a closed relief area with turf for dogs. We highly recommend this house!
Blue Retreat
House was comfortable and accommodating for our extended family stay. Having two dishwashers, two stoves, two washers and dryers made out stay easier and gave us more time to spend with family. The supply of dishes and pots and pans was more than adequate. The outdoor space with pool was enjoyed by everyone.
GREAT PLACE! Beautiful! Nicely decorated! Kitchen well-equipped. VERY CLEAN upon arrival!! Ample parking. Definitely walkable to the beach, but with all the stuff to drag along, renting a golf cart was a great idea! (a fun too!) Enjoyed the pool, hot tub, pool table, and arcade machine! Definitely would stay here again. Have a few suggestions though-The pool does not need to be heated in the summer months. Not sure if it can be an optional to have it heated, but we would have preferred it not to be. The hot tub was really hot! so we had to turn it down. It would be nice to have been supplied with hand soaps in all the bathrooms. We had to buy 7 liquid soaps upon arrival. (had 1 though in our welcome bag) I'm surprised there was no garbage disposal. We were careful not to put food down the drain. Finally, my husband's 85-year-old mom was not able to sit on the bed to put her shoes on b/c it was so high. A chair in her room would have been nice. She and his dad crushed the steps though
2 of almost everything is perfect!
Family room is huge with three really long couches—great for hanging out together! Kitchen having 2 fridges/2dishwashers/2ovens is SO wonderful! And another full size fridge in basement! 2 sets of washers and dryers too! Short walk to beach access. Any repairs/attention needed was quickly resolved. Overall excellent rating for sure.
BEST time at the Blue Retreat Beach House!
We had the BEST time at the Blue Retreat Beach House! Me and 4 of my best friends from high school got together for a girls trip in May...the weather was perfect! It was just before everything starts getting busy, so traveling to different sites and restaurants and shopping was awesome. The house was spacious and decorated so beautifully. The bed in my room was very comfortable and I loved having my own bathroom. The living room was huge and the kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. We loved lounging by the pool and hot tub! The walk to the beach was nice with the boardwalk to make it easier. The sunrise and sunsets were so beautiful! I also enjoyed collecting seashells and walking along the ocean. I hope to stay at this house again! I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a perfect beach getaway!
Wonderful place to stay!
The Blue Retreat was a wonderful place to stay! It was clean, well maintained and stocked with almost at least 2 of everything! The walk to the beach was short and easy to get to with a nice walkway so I could roll wagon etc over. Close to everything and very convenient for all of our needs. Loved having the outdoor showers to wash after the beach....unexpected bonus. Great place to stay with a large group/family because there is plenty of rooms to 'get away' from everyone or stay together.
The Perfect Girls' Getaway Spot
We recently stayed at The Blue Retreat in Corolla, NC, and it was absolutely perfect for our girls trip. Whether we were floating in the pool soaking up the sun or walking the beach collecting seashells, every moment felt fun and relaxing. At the end of the day, climbing into my super comfy bed was such a treat. The living room was amazing. So much space and plenty of seating. You could easily host a family reunion here. The whole house is decorated like something out of a magazine. It’s stylish, cozy, and inviting. One unexpected bonus was the on-site dog park. My friend’s two dogs absolutely loved being outdoors and off the leash! Such a thoughtful feature for pet owners. We had a great time exploring the area too. The wild horse tour was my favorite part. And the location is just a short walk to the beach, which made everything even better. This place is cute, spacious, and comfortable. I couldn’t ask for more and definitely hope to stay here again.

Beautiful House
This is a beautiful house with lots of room to spread out. Most bedrooms had a private bathroom which was very nice. The kitchen area was huge and well stocked and there was plenty of seating around the pool area for a large group. The walk to the beach wasn't bad and you have quick easy access to the grocery store.
