My husband and my brother visited the Summer of 2015. We decided not to do the Carribbean this year and opted for the OBX. I am hooked. One of my permanent vacation spots.

What a great realty company to deal with. The keyless entry was great. Didn't have to go to the office to check in. Just went straight to the house. They called me a couple of days ahead of check in to be sure we were still on schedule. The house was exactly like it was described on the website. Will definitely book with them again.

We rented from this realtor for the first time in September 2015. I have been renting in the Outer Banks for over thirty years and this was by far my worst experience. We gave up looking for a house with a pool because the Sea Spot had an in the ground hot tub with waterfall. Didn't work the entire week. OBB did refund us money because of this INCONVIENCE!!!!!!!. We arrived at a house that was...

Rented this house off of Outer Banks Blue Realty. The house was disgustingly dirty, had no blinds, stereo and pool table didn't work, the Jacuzzi only worked when it wanted too. No headrests on Jacuzzi just screws sticking out of where the head rests were. The kitchen stools were all loose and a hazard. Infested with spiders. Screws sticking out of the deck railings. Windows were so dirty you...

We were pleased with Outer Banks Blue during our stay at Reel Retreat in Corolla last September. Our house had been cleaned with the exception of our master bedroom, the bed had not been done. We called and a crew was sent that evening to take care of our needs. Our elevator stopped working the third day of our trip, again we called and someone arrived in a couple hours to look at it. When he...

This year was the first time we have stayed with Outer Banks Blue. We had an excellent experience. We loved staying on Pine Island at Gem of the ocean. The house was as presented with beach access directly across the street. Check in/out was a breeze with keyless entry. We had a fantastic time and we didn't want to go home. I would highly recommend!

We stayed at Seas the Day in Nags Head the week of September 20th. It rained off and on the whole week, even had a Nor'easter come through the end of week. We still had a good time. House is in a good location, not far from the beach on a quiet street. The kitchen well stocked, plenty of rooms, the pool table was a hit with the men in that we were sorta confined to the house. It has a hot tub...

Outer Banks Blue has been the best company we have dealt with at the Outer Banks! The staff is friendly and helpful. I love not having to worry about bringing linens! I also like that you don't have to go to an office to check in and check out, the keyless entry is the best. This year we stayed in Ruby's Treasure, it was very spacious and well layed out. The pool area and hot tub were amazing!...

Just got back from Southern Shores. My first time choosing the place myself. She stayed in "Shark and Awe". It was BEAUTIFUL! Well equipped. The contacts I had with Outer Banks Blue were friendly, helpful and very kind! LOVED the keyless entry, and not having to worry about picking up key, dropping off, or losing it during our stay! I would highly recommend, definitely a "better realty"!!

We just got back from OBX 1 1/2 weeks ago. This was our first time using Outer Banks Blue and they were great! Our place was just as it was described. Loved not having to take sheets and towels. It was nice to have the beds all ready when we got there. Very friendly staff. Would recommend them and use them again.

My family and I are staying at a property rented by this company. Ivey's Lair is the property. Pictures on the web are lovely. But in fact this place is a filthy, flea invested dump. We have had to fumigate the place, treat our pets and medicate ourselves for fear of infections. A huge disappointment. Do not, do not, do not waste your money and precious family time on this nasty, filthy under...

We stayed at Three Sons in Duck for the fourth time. The house is in a great location, well stocked and even had many upgrades this year including new hardwoods, tv's, and bedding. We love this house and will likely stay there again.

We had a great experience with OBX Blue! Easy reservation process. Prompt response to questions. And the house was pretty much exactly as described (actually, there were some bonuses we weren't expecting such as beach chairs/gear, bikes and a kayak!). We enjoyed this being a Sunday to Sunday rental which helped us avoid major traffic delays. And it was also great to bypass the "finding the...

We chose OBX Blue for our family Thanksgiving week this year and couldn't have been more pleased.

The company itself I would give 5 stars. The only reason I gave 4 was because there were a few things that I think could use improvement in the home (pool table looked damaged upon arrival and with the larger home thought it would have been better to have more utensils and king size beds). I go to OBX every year and this was the first time I rented from this company. Not only was the staff...

Love the Twisted Fish, 7th year we have the same home. Hate that the bedset on our bed has not been changed in 5 years and that each time we come the showers curtain liner in our bathroom is full of mildew. Is it too much to ask for this to be SOP on turnover day. We come on vacation to relax not clean.

I have been traveling to the Outer Banks every year for the last 20+ years and this was the worst experience I have had to date.

You are correct in saying someone came to the home on the day of arrival but beyond that comment, the remainder of your rebuttal is false. The cat food bowls and beds remained at the home the entire week and someone came each day and filled them.  Two of the bowls were located at the front of the house and there is no way they could they could have been missed. I have more photos if you would...

We regret your discontent regarding you rental at this property.As you are aware we did dispatch someone to the property the same day you called us about the cats that had shown up in the yard.  As we understand the situation the cats were never in the house, but were in the yard upon your arrival.  The employee removed the bowls that you pointed out, but beyond that we are not clear about what...

We stayed at a home rented by Outer Banks Blue September of 2012.  Upon arriving at the home, we were greeted by 7 feral cats who were being feed on the property (5 bowls around the property and 3 cat beds under the deck)  We had specifically chosen this home as a pet free home due to allergies in our group.  I contacted Outer Banks Blue on arrival day and was told someone would check into the...
