My family and I stayed here over the weekend for the OHSAA Girls Basketball tournament. The house has such a great location that we were only minutes from food, coffee, grocery, etc. The bedrooms are large and private and each has its own bathroom. The kitchen was huge and contained everything we needed! WE really enjoyed the place and were grateful for the overall convenience with booking, checking in/out, and hospitality.

My family recently had the great pleasure of staying in this beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood. We were unfortunately traveling for my uncle's memorial service. It has been a tough time for us as my uncle passed suddenly and unexpectedly. Being able to share this house allowed me to be together with my parents, brother, and another uncle. We were able to share memories, cook together, laugh together and cry together. It felt very comfortable and like a home. The host was excellent. A binder was provided with suggested local restaurants and activities. The binder also included contact information and instructions and helpful references for the property. I was most impressed by the kitchen, which is labeled!!! We were easily able to find everything we needed. I'm sure many of you that are reading this review have had the frustration of trying to find a spatula, mixing bowl, or other basic kitchen utensil. Well, if you stay here, the drawers and cabinets are labeled! I have been fortunate to travel and stay in many different VRBOs and other rentals. This property is the best. Everything was very well done and organized and comfortable. The only improvement anyone in my family could suggest is a thermometer on the beautiful back patio that is visible from inside. My family loves to be warm and loves to be outside. Knowing the temperature in OH is important. If you are traveling to Dayton, you should consider staying in this beautiful property

This home is lovely and spacious. It's located conveniently between the University (Dayton) and downtown with many restaurant and bar options close by. The check-in/check-out instructions are clearly noted in a binder and pamphlets were available highlighting local sights. The host was very responsive and answered all my questions quickly. We've only stayed in hotels to visit our student but preferred staying here. This property was clean, large enough to easily accommodate our party of 6 with quite comfortable bedding. Ample space to spread out w/back deck and fenced in yard. We'd definitely stay again and wish we'd looked into it previously.

Loved the entire house. Right downtown. Close to everything.

A beautifully redone home in the Heart of South Park, one of Dayton's great gentrified neighborhoods. Well-appointed and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is very large for a house this size and was where we did a lot of our socializing. We had lots of fun sitting around the large island for hours.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Big Blue House. The home was perfect for our early Thanksgiving gathering with our family of 5 adults. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and spacious enough to allow for a great Thanksgiving meal and plenty of fellowship. All three bedrooms had very comfortable beds. The house was a perfect meeting place convenient to many Dayton attractions. We spent most days eating at the house but there are plenty of nearby dining options. Communication with the owner was great. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was decorated, stocked, and comfortable. Beds and Bathrooms were excellent. The kitchen and back porch were just right to be together but still spread out a bit.

Great house and location.

Our group of college friends, all now in our senior years, spent a delightful weekend at UD and stayed in this lovely restored home.

Our two families of 4 stayed at the house to attend a dance competition at the Dayton convention center. It was conveniently located close to restaurants, breweries, and the convention center. The house smelled so clean and welcoming on arrival and was exactly as advertised. All drawers, cabinets, and closets were convenient labeled making finding anything a breeze. The kitchen was well-appointed and spacious. The beds were very comfortable with quality linens. The decorative touches were homey, yet stylish. We played football in the yard and sat on the lovely back deck in the evening. The checkout process was so easy. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Excellent place to stay. University district near the hospital. Great place with plenty of room for the whole family.

After traveling to visit our son we ran into issues with another booking. We found Big Blue and Mayra was able to get us in on short notice. This only thing better than the house was the host. She made us feel welcomed and saved our Christmas. The home is so well done. It is a 150 year old house that is well updated and immaculate. It is very convenient to downtown Dayton and just 15 minutes to Wright Patterson Air Force Base. We stayed during the polar vortex (windchill of -29) so the kitchen was a little chilly but the bedrooms and main family room stayed nice and cozy. This is the only place we want to stay when visiting Dayton from now on.

We have clients in Troy so we needed a spot for three coworkers to not only stay but also work. We really enjoyed the fact that each person had their own bedroom and bathroom. And a great dining room and kitchen to spread out and work. We also liked that we could walk to dinner in the evening and get out for a walk around the park in the morningl

The home is amazing!!!! The property owner contacts you in a timely manner. Hands down the best I've stated at.

What a wonderful stay. The house itself is very decluttered and well organized, we love to cook and we had more than enough tools to do that and the kitchen is huge and awesome. Love the games for the kids upstairs and the bathrooms were huge! Beds comfortable and bathrooms clean. The only thing that wasn't great is the area isn't very walkable (but we didn't do much anyways) and the floors were pretty dirty, our socks and the kids knees turned dark brown (under couches, the rugs etc.) which made it tough with crawling babies. We found a broom (everything is so well labeled) but it needed a good vacuum and mopping. Otherwise FANTASTIC!

Worked out great for my group

We had an excellent stay at the Blue House. It was immaculate, gorgeously decorated and updated and had plenty of room for all seven of us. Three single ladies and 2 couples were very comfortable and enjoyed all the nice amenities like coffee and snacks you provided. Street parking was easy even with the construction on the road nearby. The neighborhood was quiet at night and conveniently located between UD and Oregon District. Great place!

Great rental and very close to UD. Owners were very easy to work with and the house was well stocked and had everything we needed! So nice to be in a home instead of a hotel so we could visit and gather!

Beautifully redone historic home. Clean and spacious. Host was kind and responsive.

A group of moms visiting our daughters at UD had such a wonderful weekend in this beautiful home. Newly renovated with attention to every detail! Beautiful deck to hang out on. We will be back!!!

This is my second time staying in this beautiful and comfortable house near the campus. It’s one of those that I hate to tell anybody about because I want it to be available next time I’m in town!

I booked this VRBO to hold a informal sales meeting with fellow co-workers. The four of us that stayed at the house were all from out of state and we met with two other co-workers that lived in the area. What a great place to hold a very informal meeting. From the beautiful bedrooms to the very large and well supplied kitchen, large dining area and very comfortable living room area! We were able to spread out but enjoy our time together in comfort and very relaxed. The house sits in a great area within walking distance to a number of great restaurants and bars. My only regret was only have timing there for work and no personal time to really enjoy the entire area. We look forward to a return visit very soon!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would - on every aspect. The property manager was wonderful to work with - so responsive to all of our questions. The house was just beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. We had a wonderful stay!
