The ground level has two carports, an under-house entry, a private saltwater pool with a tropical bar, a hot tub, an enclosed outside shower and cabana bath near the pool area, and a wrap-around covered countertop space with water and eating for grilling or outside meals by the pool. The first floor opens with a recreation room with a pool table, an elevator, a mini-kitchen (including a wet bar, a microwave, and a fridge), a half-bath, a home theater room with Netflix access, and a nearby laundry area. A main bedroom (with a king-size bed) includes deck access. The second level features four upscale main bedrooms (three with a king bed apiece, and one with a double-over-double bunk bed), all with deck access. There is also a mid-level den with double recliners, a 36-inch TV, and deck access. All bedrooms are equipped with 39-inch smart Roku TVs and the main living room is equipped with a Roku TV.

Topside, Blue Waters opens to a large great room with a half-bath, tall cathedral ceilings, a spacious living area with resort furniture, a fireplace, decks with postcard-perfect views of the sunsets and sound, and a fourth level sky high loft window that offers great views of the ocean with new pub-style seating, ideal for playing cards, games or just relaxing and reading a book. Culinary fun begins in the all-equipped kitchen with double dishwashers, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar. The nearby dining area has access to a large sundeck.

Great stay at Blue Waters!

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!

GREAT house with AMAZING views!

This was a WONDERFUL house with exceptional views! The photos don’t do it justice. It was very clean and spacious. The rooms were all quiet. It was walking distance to grocery stores, coffee, shops, and restaurants. It was a great location. We were worried about some of the older reviews, but it’s clear Vacasa read them all and made updates/changes. We would definitely stay in this house again!

Great stay

Nice quite neighborhood and semi private with open lots on 3 sides. Some non-stick frying pans and higher quality cooking utensil’s would be an easy upgrade. Clean pool and plenty of TV’s too, but no ESPN on Roku :-(

House was spacious and the view is spectacular. We understand that staffing is an issue due to Covid, but the home seems to need a deep clean. Surface cleaning was fine but carpeted areas and some furniture needs a good cleaning. Pool area has seriously uneven concrete. More than one person tripped or fell. Ultimately we would stay here again, but we would hope some of the items would be addressed since Covid restrictions are lifting.

Comfy vacation home

What we liked: best view for the sunset; comfy furniture, evert bedroom has its own bathroom, home cinema was fun for watching movies with the family; the kitchen is small, but it has 2 dishwashers, and the pots and pans were good quality. What we disliked: the fridge in the kitchen had 4 broken shelves on the door, and 2 broken shelves in the fridge. We had only 2 shelves for stocking groceries. We used the fridge in the cinema and small fridge in the game room to store the rest of our groceries. The oven has uneven heating. Also the top deck has a structure problem, the nails need to be refastened bc there’s nothing left of the nails.

Great house, plenty of space for everyone!

Blue Waters was a great house for our family. It is a little weathered and there are some cosmetic issues and the bathrooms are a little dated but everything functioned perfectly. The elevator is a major plus since the kitchen and main living spaces are on the 4th floor and the elevator starts on the ground level (BIG PLUS). The views from the each floor were great. There are shaky banisters on the ocean side of the house and there were cracks in the area around the pool ladder that made the ladder not stable to climb out of but otherwise in good condition and clean. This house gave everyone enough space to spread out, the theatre room was great but i would recommend putting curtains on the windows for better blackout. EVERY ROOM has a tv that you can login to your streaming sites. EVERY bedroom has a full bathroom. 2 washers and 2 dryers made even the dull task of laundry a breeze. This house was a great place to enjoy the beach with great views and a short drive or bike ride to the beach.

Showing its age, and Vacasa’s lack of care

This was our second stay at Blue Waters and one of 15 different OBX homes we’ve rented over the past two decades. Location is superb and the layout fits our family perfectly. We love having the pool, sound-access boardwalks, and beach all at our disposal. Sadly, in the 7 years since we were last at Blue Waters, the house’s condition has declined significantly. We found many things broken or missing, and the cleaning job done before we arrived was abysmal. There was a broken chair in the living room and the fridge and both dishwashers needed repair. Trash was found in drawers and under beds. Furniture was clearly never moved to vacuum. Dishes in the cabinets were dirty and shower curtains were moldy. We saw several roaches inside. Vacasa did respond quickly to our calls for maintenance, but they need to do a better job of monitoring the condition of the homes they rent, especially given how much the prices have climbed.

Bad vacation do to disrepair of house.

I don't like to give bad reviews, but this house was in horrible condition. I filed a complaint with Hatteras realtors . There were several safety concerns with Blue Walter's from all the inside banisters extremely lose if anyone leaned on them they would get hurt. The outside top deck railing was very unsafe it would not meet any safety codes. Very dirty not clean. Ruined vacation. Alot of money for a house that is in extreme bad condition. Then Hatteras/ Vacasa wanted to do all the repairs when we were staying in Blue Walter's on our vacation time. Head boards on the beds were broken and also the toilet seats. We were extremely disappointed. To much time and money spent of ours on something that we had looked forward to. Vacasa does not care about their guests it's all about making their money.

House vs Company

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.

Great Family vacation

Blue Waters was a great house for our annual family vacation. We all were blown away by the view—sunrise over the ocean, sunset over the sound. We had enough space for the whole family. We loved the pool table and the theatre. All the bedrooms were good sized and each bathroom was very nice. We loved having the elevator - it made it so much easier to bring groceries up to the kitchen. Double dishwashers and double washer/dryers really helped us. The house was spotless when we arrived. The cleaning crew did a great job! We loved the pool and the hot tub. We didn’t use the kayaks but it was good to know they were there. The location was great. We always stay in Avon because it’s close to the grocery store, the pier, Canadian hole and only a 20 minute ride to Hatteras Snowballs We only discovered the path to the boardwalk and Sound toward the end of our week. It would have been helpful to have a guest book in the house ( every previous house we’ve rented had one) that highlights things to do, including a map of the area with the trails noted. The towels provided in the bathrooms were the thinnest I have ever used. If you are providing them with the house, you should invest in quality. Our one complaint has to do with the size of the kitchen. The house has 7 bedrooms but the kitchen is small. When you buy food and cook for 7 couples, you need space. Counter space was limited and there was little cabinet space for pantry items. We wound up putting food items in bags on the floor because there was minimal cabinet space. The Wifi was excellent—with all the laptops, phones and tablets going at once, the signal was always strong. We all had a great time at Blue Waters, and even with the small kitchen would recommend it to any family.

Fantastic view, home itself needs lots of TLC

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
