It was a great house and had nice amenities. There were a couple hiccups (ice maker didn't work, TVs were a bit difficult to figure out), but overall it was a great stay. Deck access was awesome, deck furniture very nice, pool was clean and refreshing.

The house was amazing! Exactly as listed, the pool and hot tub was such a hit for the kids and the adults honestly lol. The location of the house is perfect, very quiet, and just a short 30 second walk to a little lake where you can feed the turtles. As soon as you walk up to the lake, the turtles start swimming towards the shore, so bring some snacks for them if you go down there. Overall a great stay and we will be back!

This beach rental has many positives qualities such as large bedrooms, each with their own bathroom; a brightly-lit kitchen and living room area; a short walk to the nearest beach access; and a swimming pool and hot tub in the back yard. My only complain with this rental was that the home was not ready to check in at the stated time. No fault to the cleaning crew, who were clearly doing the best that they could- given the circumstances (apparently, the previous renters refused to leave the property at the designated check-out time). Because the trip was only a weekend getaway, we felt that we lost valuable time waiting for the cleaning crew to have the property ready for us to check in. The previous renters also forgot to put out the garbage on trash day, so we were left with more trash than could fit in the garbage bins.

Nice House, comfy beds, hot tub was nice.

Would definitely stay here again. It was a short walk to the beach and located conveniently to Corolla and Duck shopping.

Great place! We had a great time .

Great house with in a good area with plenty of restaurants and shops near by. Nice pool and hot tub areas and just a 5 minute walk to the beach.

This property was the perfect place for our beach vacation! Would definitely recommend KEES.

Great house! Very spacious and totally fun with pool and hot tub , outdoor shower , etc. unfortunately the Kees Vacation company never responded to 3 emails and 2 phone call messages to communicate about the property prior to arriving and drain problems in two bathroom showers. Great house.... not so good management company

Beach house with plenty of space. The house has an amazing pool and hot tub that was really enjoyable. The house could have been a little bit cleaner. There was food underneath one of the couches. Great neighborhood and a short walk to the beach although you can’t see the beach from the house. There is a short trail beside the house that you can walk with your dogs and see a ton of turtles that a local feeds. Overall a great stay.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The walk to the ocean was a bit farther than we are used to but it certainly didn't make us enjoy or stay any less.

We walked to the beach everyday of our trip, what a great location! It was also a great layout for family and friends, all of the bedrooms had their own bathrooms and the “hangout/common” areas were also well spread. The house can easily accommodate 8 or more comfortably! We would recommend for your next OBX vacation!Pro tip: The Kees vacations company must not monitor their VRBO inbox though so if you need to get in touch with them you’ll want to call their office directly instead of using the app messaging.

Great vacation for social distancing. Area is not too crowded. Was able to have plenty of space at beach and restaurants had outdoor seating etc. House was close to everything. We spent most of our time at the great pool and hot tub.

My family and I absolutely loved this property. We'll definitely be returning for another great stay!

The house was very very clean and offered all we needed! We were pleased with both the overall lay out and the outdoor accommodations! Would definitely return and recommend

I had concerns about how the home was cleaned before we arrived. The owners/property managers never replied via VRBO. When we arrived the home was very clean inside (despite there being food in the fridge and adult novelty toys from a batchlorette party in a drawer) but all the windows and sliders were open. I assume to let the home air out from deep cleaning? Also, it rained quite heavily while we were there and the 3rd floor slider began leaking into the living room. The carpet near the door was soaked. I called the property manager’s emergency number and got no answer. I also called the regular number and left a message as it was after hours. No one returned my call.

This property is beautiful and well worth staying at! Perfect location! Had an amazing weekend(:

We enjoyed our stay. The house was as described and the location very convenient. The only thing I'd recommend is to bring your own kitchen knives..the ones at the property are extremely dull & you cannot prep/cook with them. But other than that minor thing everything was great and we would return.

Nice place.

We loved our stay at this house. House was well equipped and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Great neighborhood; house is about a quarter mile from the beach, all residential. Pool and hot tub were in great shape.

We enjoyed our stay over Labor Day weekend at the blue heron. The layout was very spacious for all 4 couples and pool and hot tub with outdoor bathroom was great. Only downfall was it was not very clean. Linens (pillows on bed) and couches were dirty and upstairs bathroom had plumbing issue.

This home was the perfect place for a short family vacation. We were sad to leave and wished we had booked a few more days. The check in process was a breeze. The beach was a short walk away through a trail by the lake that leads to the beach access point. The pool and hot tub were clean and the perfect place to relax while grilling on the propane grill. We enjoyed the size of the house, and even with 8 adults and a pitbull, we had more than enough space to have some alone time. We loved the house and look forward to going back in the future, next time we all agreed we have to stay for a week!

I am sorry to have to wrote this review. My husband and I, along with 4 friends, were very disappointed in the overall cleanliness of this property. Upon arrival, the bottom level of house was in disarray, Sand and dirt all over parking area as well as patio areas. Furniture was not orderly and in place. When we entered home, it was obvious the carpet had been partially vacuumed. There was dust/sand on furniture tops. Throw pillows on upstairs couches were stained and had random/disheveled placement on couches. It was quite embarrassing to pull plates and silverware out of cabinets and find dried food still present. There is also a sink/shower drain issue. To be honest, I wish I could communicate with homeowner and make them aware of the cleaning service and the concerns. I would be mortified if anyone paid this large amount of money and entered my home in this condition. All of these issues are easily corrected. Presentation is everything. We would not recommend this property to anyone in its current condition.

Exactly what we wanted. Close to everything, super easy to find, clean, bright home.

Poor plumbing. Toilets didn't flush and bath tubs didn't drain. Could use some more forks. Over all great experience. Great location. House and pool were clean.

We received all information well ahead of time to check in. The check in process was super easy and non invasive. All we did was use the access code. No meet ups or exchange of keys. This was great with a large group going back and forth from the beach to the house. No need to keep up with or pass around keys. Simple access code is genius. The property was exactly as recommended and spotless. The pool hot tub and grill were all ready to go upon arrival. The house was clean and appointed completely. we brought nothing but towels and toilet paper. Everything else was there, plates, cups, cooking utensils, pots, pans etc. there were even k cups for the coffee maker!!! The house is a short walk to the beach and we just loved the pool and hot tub area. Grill also worked great. We used it two nights in a row!! This was literally a turn key vacation rental. Absolutely loved it.

We stayed at Blue Heron over the long holiday weekend and loved it! An easy walk to the beach through the neighborhood with great views from the deck. Best feature is that every bedroom has it's own bath! Dining table seats 8 easily, plus there's another table that seats 4. I love the "Ship's Watch" for reading. Brand new hot tub, and there's a private pool!!
