10 family members- 6 adults and 4 children vacationing together- chose Blue Heaven since none of us had ever been to N. Carolina and the pictures of the house were beautiful. We were NOT disappointed! The house was clean with a well supplied kitchen and large enough to allow us to have our own bedroom and bathroom with the kids sharing the bunk bed room. The living room and dining room were large enough for all of us to be together but there were several areas where you could get away for some quiet time. A beautiful pool and hot tub, along with a stocked game room provided extra entertainment. Blue Heaven is conveniently located to the ferry, shopping, and restaurants and was only a short walk to the beautiful beaches over the dunes. We even had a fire on the beach one night while enjoying smores. Neighbors- both owners and renters were so friendly and helpful, one even took the men out on his boat for a morning of fishing. Chris was helpful from start ( suggesting places to visit, where to rent equipment, what extras to bring ) to finish( after we left my grandson discovered he had forgotten a necklace he just bought and Chris handled making the contact to get it mailed back to us). Thank you Chris, Jan, and Teresa
We enjoyed our stay so much last summer that we came back this year! I really can't say enough about Blue Heaven. The house is absolutely perfect. This year we rented bikes and enjoyed daily rides to the coffee shop or the local restaurants. The men went fishing and had a great time. The beach is a very short walk and we loved spending our mornings there. We love how uncrowded it is! The pool (which we chose to have heated) provided hours of fun for everyone. We cooked dinner at home most nights. Most anything you could need is provided in the well stocked kitchen. We look forward to returning again next summer. Thank you!!
The house was wonderful! It's not listed in the post, but you see the ocean AND the sound from the top balcony!! Beautiful sunsets, steps from the beach and walking distance to the ferry. Couldn't have been better and the owners were great. When we return to the Outerbanks, we would stay nowhere else. Just perfect.
Blue Heaven is a beautifully maintained property with everything you could possibly need! Our Executive Board of Directors and kids make several trips a year to various areas of NC for retreat/meetings, to visit historical sites in NC and to paint and photograph for an upcoming art travel book. We loved this property...and all it's various levels, hot tub (and there is a pool for warmer months) added to the fact that it is minutes to an hour away from as much history as you can absorb! We would absolutely return and will recommend this property, and the owner, to anyone that loves the OXB. This is a winner.
This rental property will be your home away from home plus some extras like the pool, hot tub and beach. We cooked most dinners and this kitchen does not lack one pot, pan, storage container, dish, cup, glass or utensil. You will be able to cook or prepare any type of meal. This was our third VRBO rental and truly the cleanest and nicest home we have stayed in. We hesitated to book this property because of VRBO and the condition we found the two previous homes in, but this one is far better than all the others. The homeowner has taken continuous care of this home and that's not done often with rental properties. You can tell pride is taken in every room and decoration. Loved every part of this home and you will too! Nice, short walk to the beach and a short drive to some neat shops and wonderful produce stand. A true hit for all ages in our family, 14 thru 66.
Our family of 8 stayed at Blue Heaven in June. The location is very close to the beach (just a 3 minute walk to the dunes and another minute to the water) and our kids loved the pool. The pool is bigger than most in the area and was perfect for our children. We loved the decks and also the hot tub and the outside shower was handy after coming from the beach. The carpet appeared to be pretty new which was nice. All of the bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen and dining area was a little tight - it's difficult to get more than 6 around the dining table, but we made things work pretty easily. All in all it was a very nice place and Chris was very helpful along the way. I'd recommend coming in early June as the weather was just what we had hoped for and both the ocean water and pool water temperatures were just right.
This house is truly as good as all the reviews claim it to be! It is the nicest beach house we have ever stayed in, and was very reasonably priced. It is spacious, clean, updated and in excellent condition. Only a few houses down from the beach access, it is a 3-5 minute walk to the ocean. The hot tub and pool were in excellent condition. Our favorite area of the house was the kitchen/family area on the third floor where we cooked, ate, played games and watched TV. There are a lot of stairs and the bedrooms are on the second and third floors, but that wasn't a problem for us. The game room on the bottom floor was nice, but small, and we didn't use it because we just wanted to hang out together on the top floor. (There were six of us). I think it would be great for teenagers who wanted some space. The booking agent (a family member of the owner) was very helpful and always quick to reply to our needs during booking and during our stay. The concierge service was also helpful. While it is quite a drive from the northern towns of the Outer Banks and lighthouses (2 hours from Currituck Lighthouse), there are plenty of little shops and restaurants on Hatteras Island. The Hatteras Lighthouse and visitor center is a very short drive. You might want to bring most of your groceries with you as the local stores were a little pricey and have a very limited selection. The upside is that it is a little quieter and less commercial. We also loved the free ferry to Ocracoke (a three minute drive). There is a lighthouse and visitor center on that island as well, along with several things to see and do. We loved our stay in the Outer Banks and were very pleased with Blue Heaven and it's location. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone and would definitely try to book it again if we return to the area.
The minute we walked in we were blown away! The house exceeded all expectations. We enjoyed cooking dinners in the fully stocked kitchen and drinks on the top balcony watching the sunset. With 5 adults and 3 kids under 4 everyone had plenty of space. We couldn't believe how kid friendly the house was! We spent our mornings on the beautiful beach and afternoons by the pool. The beach is a super short walk that even our littlest kid happily walked. Easily one of the best homes in Hatteras! We can't wait to go back next year! Thank you so much
We spent Memorial Day week at Blue Heaven. It was our second time there. Just like the first time, we enjoyed ourselves immensely! We love renting this house. The location is terrific, the owners are meticulous about the cleanliness of the home, the house is well-appointed (the adirondack captains chairs on the deck at sunset time among my favorites!), and the linens are included! The pool and hot tub are a plus too. It is a stone's throw from the ferry ride to Ocracoke. It's just a beautiful, relaxing vacation! We will return, again and again.
Our stay at Blue Heaven was so wonderful that it was hard to leave. Besides the house being immaculate, it had everything we needed for our comfort. The interior design was beachy without being tacky, it was soothing on the main kitchen/family room level and bright fun colors with the bathrooms/bedrooms...very well done. All but one bedroom was on one level (the second level), along with the laundry room, which was convenient when we did the laundry. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed. The furniture was comfortable, not worn, and just right for the 10 of us. Again, very tasteful for a vacation home. We could tell the owners are diligent with upkeep. Walls, paint, floorboards etc were in excellent condition, like new. Outdoor furniture was comfy and perfect. Loved the tall chairs on the top deck for sipping coffee and enjoying the breeze/view of the Sound. Loved the hammock for mid-day siestas, but we had to get the kids off first in order to use it!! The pool was so beautiful and clean. Surprisingly large compared to other pools. Pool area more than big enough for all of us with plenty of outdoor seating. We swam in pool as much as we went to the beach! The little kids (and big kids AKA the husbands) loved the game room foosball table. Was nice to have the outdoor shower and garden hose to clean up from the beach before going inside. We used the house to its entirety, in fact, because it is three levels deep (actually 4) we had some nice separation from the kids and noise!! Perfect! They really claimed their bunk bedroom to hang out in, with their own T.V./DVD player ...What kids? Short walk to the beach. No complaints from kids! It was shorter than I expected. Plus, the public beach access is not far away (just down the road) if you want to drive to the beach. For a nice dinner out we LOVED Dinky's (very close by).Got DELICIOUS steamed shrimp a couple of nights from the fish house next to Dinky's. We ate in quite a bit, as we stocked the fridge when we got there. Huge kitchen table seated all of us, along with the bar stool/counter area. Captain's Nook is small but sweet! Great for reading, devotionals, computer work etc Must see: -Hatteras lighthouse -Ferry to Okracoke (least busy on weekends) rent golf cart to zip around island:) Eat @ The Jolly Roger -Beach (wind surfers are so fun to watch) Sand castles and splash in surf! May want to buy/bring: (definitely toilet paper!), extra kitchen towels from home, beach gear, laundry detergent
It's been 13 days since we said a tearful goodbye to Blue Heaven and my four year old twins are still asking when we're going back to "our Blue Heaven." An impressive feat considering how short of an attention span 4 year olds tend to have. Words can not express how perfect our time was in Hatteras, and specifically Blue Heaven. The house is a vacationing family's dream! Beyond the fact that the house was impeccably clean, it was also perfectly sized and furnished, allowing us to spread out happily and comfortably. The kids absolutely LOVED the bunk bed room and my husband and I were more than pleased with the master suite on the third floor. The house was also impressively equipped to keep every person in our family happy and entertained. From the pool and jacuzzi, to the game room (with foosball and PlayStation) and even the DVDs (both adult movies in the living room and children's movies in the bunkbed room) so thoughtfully provided by the owners, it was often times hard to drag ourselves away from the house to explore the beautiful town of Hatteras. Though, when we did decide to venture out of the house and hang out at the beach, we were lucky to be so conveniently located. The beach was just an extremely quick walk down a short residential street and over a dune. We were there in minutes! I will never be able to say enough about how amazing our visit was. It was so amazing, in fact, that I'm finding it hard to pick a different location of our 2014 family vacation, when it would be so easy, and so awesome, to return to Blue Heaven for another year. If I am able to resist the call, and we choose a different location next year, I have no doubt that we will return the year after. Blue Heaven has found a permanent place in our hearts. I can not imagine anyone being disappointed in the decision to choose Blue Heaven as their home away from home.
First time to Hatteras and lived in NC for >20 years. Well, I won't wait another 20. What a beautiful location - so nice to see the area natural, without a whole lot of development. I can only hope it stays exactly the way it is. The house? Perfect, indeed. Clean, perfect location, and lots of room. The pool was an absolute PLUS. You can definitely tell that a lot of work goes into maintaining this house......I absolutely LOVE the color of the bathroom on the 2nd floor! Even though the house was well-stocked for cooking, we did minimal. Hey, I'm on vacation and not interested in cooking! Lots of good restaurants in close proximity. We do not get to the beach each year, as we try to plan different locations for vacation {next year = San Fran!}. However, when we do decide to 'do' a beach vacation, Blue Heaven will be our house. A BIG thanks to Jan, Teresa and Chris for being awesome to work with. :)
Blue Heaven is an excellent house for anyone vacationing in Hatteras. It is so quiet, so serene. The house has many nice little areas to read or have a quiet cup of morning coffee, and yet the main great room is open and bright, with plenty of room for a large group. We totally loved our time in Hatteras, and staying in such a well-cared for home (with a GORGEOUS pool!) and hot tub makes it so extra fun, especially with kids. Pool in the morning, beach in the afternoon, evening bike ride, hot tub before bed. All around, great place for relaxing! The owners are incredibly attentive to details, and provided us with very helpful information on the area when we were looking for some ideas of things to do, places to see. When a minor incident came up at the house while we were there, they were immediate in their response. Excellent experience all around.
We loved Blue Heaven! We have vacationed at least one week of every year for thirteen years on the Outer Banks, even staying in several houses on the streets surrounding this property. This was the best - by far! The house was spacious and clean. The pool and hot tub were sparkling. It was easy to see the effort and attention to detail put into this house to make it the great vacation home it is. Among my favorite things is bed linens and bath towels included during peak season!! It has always been difficult when renting other properties to gather appropriate sized bedding, make up beds when arriving (while unpacking groceries and clothes) and taking dirty sheets home to launder at the end of the vacation. That was not necessary this time, and I hope never to have to do that again after the luxury of having it included this year! My boys enjoyed the foosball table and XBOX, when we weren't in the pool or on the beach. My parents, my husband and I enjoyed the sunsets over the Sound and drinks on the upper decks. The close proximity to the Ferry is also a plus. This was truly an enjoyable week. We highly recommend this house - I just hope you won't be renting it the week we hope to return!!
Owner Response: July 8, 2012 stay
We had a wonderful vacation at Blue Heaven in July. When we arrived, the house was immaculately clean, and it looked even better than the online pictures. We have three young children, so the short walk to the beach, pool and outdoor shower were all greatly appreciated. We had never stayed in Hatteras before, and we enjoyed jogging and bike riding around town. Hatteras is remote, but there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby within walking distance. Blue Heaven is well maintained, homey and has a location you can't beat. The owner was also very responsive to emails and following up with us. I highly recommend renting this house!
Owner Response: July 15, 2012 stay
A beautiful house in a wonderful part of the world. If you like peace and quiet, lovely fresh fish and atmospheric sandy beaches then this is the place for you...couple this with a wonderful house, clean, nicely decorated, spacious, well equipped and you have a brilliant holiday. The owners are very easy to deal with and were extremely helpful at all stages of organization. We will certainly visit again if at all possible, I would urge you to do the same!
Our vacation was WONDERFUL. We are all homebodies in our family but truthfully, no one wanted to leave at the end of the week. The house is absolutely beautiful and could not have been more accommodating. I think we used every square inch of the home. We took naps on the hammock, read in the nook on a rainy day, had foose ball tournaments in the downstairs, etc. Hatteras was also a great place to visit. We enjoyed the ferry, found some good local restaurants, and the fudge shop. Our vacation to Blue Heaven provided us with great family time. Thank you for providing a beautiful backdrop for the perfect vacation.
Totally enjoyed our stay at "Blue Heaven" - VERY clean and a great setup - 3rd floor being the main living room, dining area, kitchen and porch and deck - with vews to the Ocean and Pamlico Sound. Lots of additional amenities - fishing cleaning station and outdoor storage areas. Very convenient to beach and marina and seafood and food markets. Just a short walk over to the ferry also. Will DEFINITELY return for next fishing adventure!!!!!
My family really enjoyed our stay at this very comfortable home. We could not begin to use all the amenities that were offered. The pool and hot tub were particularly inviting after a long day on the beach. The chairs and hammock strategically placed on private outside decks provided convenient escapes for naps or sunset viewings. This house had everything that we needed and more for a very comfortable stay. We look forward to returning soon.
We had a awesome time at Hatteras. I went in the summer of 2011 also and it only gets better. We will be back again. This is truely a most beautiful home close to all the amenities and has everything. We really enjoyed our 20 year anniversary!!!!!
This was our first time at Blue Heaven...we weren't disappointed in any way. The couches and chairs and beds were way beyond what we were expecting...very comfortable, right down to the pillows. As a family of three it was way more than what we needed, but we thought we might have visitors during part of our stay. It would have been plenty big enough for another family, grandparents, etc. From what I understand, there are a lot of available activities in the area; however, we couldn't get enough of the bodysurfing and swimming so we spent all of our time on the beach. There's a fella named Captain Aaron who'll take you out on his boat for a very reasonable price, so we did take a morning and go fishing, coming back with speckled trout, and 150 clams...he even let us raid his crab pots. The Hattersman restaurant will take your fillets, bread and fry them and make a sandwich on the spot. The clams and crabs go on the grill -- wait till the clams open up, dig them out with a fork and dip in lemon and butter. We didn't pay to have the pool heated, which turned out to be a good idea because it was good cool down from the hot tub. Everything was very clean and tidy. It's not directly on the beach, so even though you can technically see pieces of the sound and the ocean, if you need wide open expansive views of the water you won't find that here. We didn't find it necessary as we were so close to the beach, just a couple of minutes on foot. It was one of the nicest vacations my family has ever had.
I loved it!!! Can not wait till next year. Very clean and well appointed! Close enough to water and shopping without driving.
We had a wonderful vacation in your home and on Hatteras Island! We enjoyed coffee each morning on your upper deck with views of the ocean and boats on the sound. One of our favorite things was the short walk to the beach for a stroll along the shore each day. The fishing was good in the evenings! The house itself is beautifully decorated and is very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need for cooking and entertaining. The kids loved the pool and game room. We all absolutely loved it and cannot wait to come again! "Blue Heaven" it is, inside and out!
easy, helpful folks to deal with, great location close to Teach's Lair, well appointed house, comfortable-perfect! we've always dealt with a local realty company but no need to now-great service and thorough manager made the renting process hassle free. the house is super nice.
We loved our stay at "Blue Heaven" last week!! The house was beautiful and immaculate--the pictures really don't do it justice and we felt at home immediately. It is furnished nicely and the kitchen has any utensil, dish or glassware you could possibly need; the rooms are large and the house feels light and airy even on lower floors. We enjoyed the x-box, foosball table and reading nook on several occasions although my favorite was just sharing the hammock with my husband one afternoon. We loved this area of the island and the fact that we had the beaches to ourselves almost every day since it was still considered "off-season" for most restaurants, stores and hotels. We were very happy with service provided by Shore Details, who are the caretakers, and found the grocery delivery to be a wonderful thing when you arrive in the dark and exhausted after a 9+ hour drive! Also would recommend Beach Jeeps tour in Corolla to view the horses and 4-wheel on the beach. Found the best burgers to be up the road at Pop's Raw Bar. The owners were a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely return and would recommend this property to anyone looking for the perfect Outer Banks vacation!
After driving through blizzard conditions in VA we were so glad to arrive, relax and listen to the 40mph winds gusting across the island. We stayed inside where it was warm and cozy and relaxed for the first time in weeks and loved every minute of it! Blue Heaven was clean and well maintained and the owners go out of their way to make sure eveything for your visit is perfect. They care about their property and it shows. We loved reading in the "book nook" with a view of the ocean and the spectacular sunsets that we could view right from the living room couch! The children enjoyed playing downstairs with the XBOX. We love OBX in the Winter when the crowds go home and leave the beach to us. We even saw temperatures in the 60's the last 2 days of our stay! The beach was beautiful and the children picked up the most interesting shells! We saw dolphins, pelicans, shrimp, hermit crabs, blue crabs, and blue fish. Loved the ferry ride to Ocracoke Island and had lunch at Jason's. Then off the next day to tour Hatteras lighthouse and pick up our piece of pottery from Red Drum Pottery. Everyone is so nice and laid back. Blue Heaven is a great place to relax! We look forward to coming again!
WOW! What a beautiful house! We were thrilled on arrival that the house was even better than described. The house was so immaculately clean that I let my baby crawl around everywhere. Furthermore, I never get in hot tubs but this one was so clean that I jumped in right away and stayed in it most of my free time while the baby was napping. The kitchen has everything you need, there are TV’s in every room, the decks have tables and chairs, the beds have mattress covers, the house is beautifully decorated, books and DVD’s are available……EVERY detail has been carefully thought out for your enjoyment. The top floor has great views of the water and while we were there the sunsets were an AMAZING brilliant red! It is a short walk to the BEAUTIFUL beach! The owners were great to work with and responded immediately to any questions we had. The people in Hatteras are very helpful and friendly! We bought our groceries at Burrus Red and White and our wines at Lee Robinson General Store (they have an amazing collection). Dinky’s and Breakwater were terrific places for dinner and watching the sunset over the water (you do not need to get dressed up). The Dancing Turtle is a wonderful place to get coffee and relax. We took the lovely ferry ride over to Ocracoke Island and enjoyed the day discovering the island! On our ferry ride back we saw dolphins! We LOVED the house and had such a wonderful vacation that we are planning to rent the house again soon.
Our stay at Blue Heaven was amazing. The listing and description are very accurate, and it's even more beautiful in person than it is in pictures! The house is immaculate and beautifully maintained, the kitchen is well-equipped and there is plenty of space for everyone to hang out, relax, and ENJOY. The large decks, in-ground pool, and hot tub were fantastic! The gorgeous beach is just a short walk away, our kids (ages 4, 5, and 7) just loved riding their scooters down the quiet street to the beach access, then hunting for shells along the beach. The owners of Blue Heaven went above and beyond to make sure all of our questions were answered in a timely manner, and they were such an absolute pleasure to work with! We can't wait to go back to Hatteras, and we'll definitely be staying at Blue Heaven again, and again!!
Thank you for providing us with the perfect vacation home. Some people say "Home is where the heart is" and it shows that your heart is in this home. This home is not only comfortable it is also homey. The decor is well pointed and not overly done. The house is cleean and easy to keep clean. The hot tub was a terrific place to relax after a full day of sightseeing, even in the cool weather we had in early March. The location is ideal being so close to the ferry and the beach. we look forward to visiting again at Blue Heaven, thank you
