Refresh Vacation

House was absolutely perfect. It had all the amenities that we wanted (pool and hot tub) and the views from the top floor are breathtaking. It was so quiet and serene and really was a lovely time

What a great house!

We highly recommend Paradise at Blue Fin for your family stay. This house had everything we forgot to bring! Lots of childproofing was a huge help with our 2 boys. The property owners were really great people too!

Great location for a family vacation.

The house has everything that you need to have an amazing family vacation. First time to OBX and luckily, we picked a home in the 4x4 area. Views and location are fantastic from sunup to sundown. Having a heated pool and hot tub are a must after a day on the beach to enjoy the evening. Wish we could have stayed two weeks.

Clean and wonderful

Property was beautiful and clean. My family had a wonderful time ponies came right by the property and dolphins spotted right out in the ocean multiple times. Property itself was just as described enough cooking space to feed all 10 of us and enough privacy we weren't tripping all over one another. I will return hopefully soon!! Thanks for the memories!!

Great Location and loved the heated pool.

Our overall stay at Blue Fin was good. My family really enjoyed the heated pool, especially during the cooler days of May. I did think that the pictures of Blue Fin were misleading. Once we got there, I noticed that there were some structural damages that were not addressed property which to us affected the presentation and esthetics of the property. Honestly, I think the price point doesn't match how the property looks and what it has to offer. It was nice to get away for a week but we won't be renting this house again.

Amazing oceanfront home!!

We loved the location of this beautiful remodeled home where we walked to the beach daily. It has everything you will need for cooking to beach chairs! The third floor is very open and bright and has amazing views of the ocean with a boardwalk to the beach! We enjoyed the extensive decks all around the home! We will definitely be rebooking this home because it’s an excellent place to unwind ,listen to the ocean and to see the wild horses!!!

Liked: Communication
We had a few issues but nothing major. Our one main issue was the upstairs fridge was not working properly nor was it making ice. The owners were great about sending someone out to fix it however there was a storm about to hit so we just moved our food to the downstairs fridge. The hot water didn’t last long, so if you didn’t shower first you were taking a cold shower. I personally think the lower level should be a game room. It was kind of just space that’s unused.

Paradise

I stay at Paradise at Blue Fin was very enjoyable. The house was very clean and well kept. The pillows could have been more comfortable but the kitchen was well stocked. We had a wonderful week at this house.

Downside was some cooking utensils to have would have been nice for number of people and cooking- electric griddle, larger skillet/lids. Otherwise great place.

Stunning Views

This property offers the most beautiful views in a peaceful setting. The property had quite obviously been recently updated. The home was beautifully decorated, well-equipped, clean and inviting. The view from the gorgeous upper level is just extraordinary! During our visit, some of the horses grazed in the yard before heading out to the beach. We enjoyed the hot tub, the hammock and the binoculars. We were impressed with the provision made for families with children-from the outlet covers, high chairs, deck railings and gate, toys and child friendly tableware, the owners have made every effort to welcome the youngest members of your family to their home. Highly recommend…
