“What a lovely home! . . . The views of the ocean from the porches and living room made the week even more relaxing. The pool was a perfect way to cool down after a day on the beach. The indoor shuffle board was great fun, along with the big screen TVs. We were never bored! Thank you for the nice finishes in The Blue Heron. We love the flooring too, a nice modern look. We hope to return next summer.”

“Thank you for such a beautiful, relaxing, and well appointed beach house! Our multi-generational family so enjoyed our time in your clean (the flooring is fabulous!) and thoughtfully created home. The week was perfect, as we made full use of the quick walk to the ocean, the pool, the four decks, and the game room. Your updated home exceeded our expectations, and we hope to return next year.”

“You have an absolutely beautiful home. The style and aesthetics are working together in complete harmony. If you are not a designer–you should be! we loved everything about the week spent in your home. The beach, the pool, the game room and the views–together they seemed to work their magic and our family relaxed and reconnected. . . . Thank you for opening your home to us. Having the baby proofing was the icing on the cake . . . . [W]e hope to return in the future.”

“Thank you for sharing your beautiful beach home with our families! It rained a few days this week but that didn’t stop us from enjoying our vacation! THANKS for the entertainment room. The mom’s beat the kids in shuffle board! The pool and hot tub was a BIG hit! We hope to return next summer.”

“We decided to come to the Outer Banks on our honeymoon! . . . [W]ith all of the chaos of the wedding plus . . . [hurricane] Flo, we were late packing . . . and forgot most things. This house has been magnificent with the furnishings and extras (beach chairs were the furthest thing from my mind . . .) it has made our honeymoon perfect and just the vacation we needed after the chaos. The weather has been magnificent and Flo even made for some great shell picking! We can’t thank you enough for opening your beach home and hope to be back here next year!”

“My eleven year old grandson wants to live here ‘forever!’ From the game room in the basement (with the ‘magic’ closet) to the well appointed kitchen, The Blue Heron has been the perfect place to spend the week at Duck. The grandkids loved the pool, the parents loved the proximity to the beach, and grandma loved her early morning beach walks. The Blue Heron is by far the best place we’ve stayed at Duck. And we hope to come back here next year! Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.”

“Thank you for sharing your home for a fantastic beach vacation. We each found a favorite spot — from the screened-in porches to the rocking chairs on the deck. The kiddos fell into an easy routine of pool [to] beach time that will be tough to beat back home. The game room brought out the kid in all of us . . . . Of the homes we’ve stayed in north of Duck, this is by far our favorite. Your updates are amazing–we hope to return next year.”

“We didn’t want to leave! The Blue Heron is a fantastic house – our favorite we’ve stayed in over our years vacationing in Duck. The owners have put lots of care into thoughtful updates that create a restful environment. But not too restful, thanks to the fun game room on the lower level! We each found a happy place on the porches and decks, and the pool and short walk to the beach kept the kids in the water most of the day.”

“Location was awesome – two houses from the beach! The house was amazing – everything we needed and then some – we loved the game room and the pool. The house was immaculate, even the porches and outside deck furniture were clean. My family . . . all agree the house and location were great. We’ve been coming to Duck for five years and this has been my favorite house.”

“We had a great time at The Blue Heron. We enjoyed the view of the ocean and the short walk [to the beach]. It is a friendly community and the beaches were not crowded. it is a short drive to the stores and restaurants. The house was clean when we got here and can’t wait to come back to the Outer Banks next year.”

“We had a fantastic week of vacation in your beautiful home. The grandkids loved the pool as well as the beach. Weather was great and loved the close proximity to everything in town. This is one of the best beach houses we have ever stayed in and would certainly stay here again on a future visit.”

“What a wonderful week on the beach! We are relaxed, rejuvenated, and refreshed. . . . Boogie boarding, shell gathering, sand castle building, ghost crab hunting and beach walking were favorite pastimes, and we all loved the hammock, private pool and hot tub, and all of the decks to take in the salty breeze. . . . Our boys loved enjoying the 1st floor game room during down time. We will cherish memories made here a lifetime! Making the climb up the Currituck Lighthouse was very rewarding–certainly recommended! . . . Thank you for a fabulous home so close to the beach. We loved it!”

In the fall of 2019, with a baby and deployment due the following year, we decided to sit out the 2020 rental season. With the subsequent onset of the pandemic, The Blue Heron has proven to be even more of a haven then we possibly could have imagined for this challenging year.
“I want to stay at the beach house a long, long time! Forever and ever!”
