About this property

Cheerful 4 bdrm cottage, short walk to beach

Located in Kill Devil Hills on the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina, The Blue Oasis is nestled in a small, quiet neighborhood, just about a five minute walk to the beach.

Don't judge a book by its cover. We've been told many times that the exterior doesn't do the interior justice. This cottage and surrounding property is for non-smokers only. It is well furnished and larger than you would expect. The Blue Oasis is a newly updated cottage perfect for that cozy, beach getaway.

This beautifully decorated home is ideal for 2 families with 2 queen size bedrooms, a bathroom, living room and a fully stocked, eat-in kitchen on the first floor. The second floor, which is accessed through the kitchen door or side entrance for privacy, has a family room, full bath, queen bedroom, and a bedroom with a pyramid bunk (double on bottom, twin on top) and an additional twin.
We provide Wifi and Roku TV's in both living rooms and each bedroom with HDMI cables attached to hook up to your own devices. Each TV includes subscriptions to both Disney+ and Netflix.

This cozy cottage offers a really awesome, fenced-in, spacious backyard entertainment space, complete with an outdoor sectional sofa with covered dining table, picnic table, above-ground, fenced-in children's pool (9' in diameter and 28" tall at water line), gas grill, fire pit, hammock, swing, clothesline, a shed with yard and beach equipment, and an outdoor shower stall. We are excited to announce a hot tub will be installed coming April 2024!!

There is parking for at least 4 vehicles with street parking also available. The beach is within an easy 5 minute walk, and there are many restaurants, stores, and attractions within a short distance.

Our rates may vary day by day. Please select your period to see the exact price for your selected dates. We have a 7 night minimum stay during our peak season from May 25th-August 31st, with check-in and check-out on Saturday only. Towels and linens are included.

**Due to the serious allergies of some of our most frequent guests, we do not allow any animals at our property.
**This cottage is for non-smokers only, both inside as well as outside on our property, due to the severe allergies of owners as well as frequent guests.
Thank you for your understanding!
**PLEASE NOTE: If you are here for work, a cleaning fee will be charged after every week of your stay, including a cleaning fee at the end of your stay, and my maintenance crew will visit every week to make sure all house policies are being followed.

Great experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and in a great location- close to the beach and the activities in Kill Devils, but also central to all the other outer banks towns we wanted to visit. Although there were just two of us on this trip, we commented several times that this house would be perfect for multiple families traveling together. The owner is very thoughtful in her communication and in the amenities provided in the house. The backyard was also really nice. It was too cold for us to enjoy the pool, but we did nap in the hammock and build a fire in the pit. We would definitely stay here again.

Another great year at the blue oasis!
We have spent several weeks over the past several years staying at the blue oasis, and every year, it keeps getting better! Thank you Lauralee for your thoughtful hospitality and for continuing to upgrade your lovely home away from home. The kids love spending time in the outdoor cowboy pool, and the upgrades to the backyard space provide plenty of room to relax, both inside and out. All of the provided amenities are super helpful while staying in the house, and traveling to and from the beach. Staying here makes packing so much easier! We are looking forward to another visit next year!

Great location
House had everything we needed. Great location for dining, beach access and plenty of space for family activities. Kitchen stocked with everything you need to cook and the backyard pool keeps the kids entertained after a long day at the beach. Highly recommend this house.

Fully stocked inside and out
This house lives bigger than it looks from the outside! A big sectional in the LR for relaxing, another living room upstairs gives space to spread out. Beds are made, bathrooms are stocked with towels, soap, shampoo, etc. Kitchen has everything you need! I loved the back patio with a large sun shade for afternoon relaxing out of the hot sun (I think the photos show an umbrella but it is now a much larger sun shade). Fire pit with fire logs provided, beach chairs and umbrella, and even a small pool (maybe 24” deep and 6’ across) with a pump so it’s refreshing for both kids and adults, and sounds like a water feature next to the patio! Very relaxing! We loved our time there!

Wonderful stay
My family and I broke down on our day trip to OBX. We stayed at the Blue Oasis and it was wonderful. Very clean and beds were super comfortable. It was so convenient to have samples of necessities like coffee, toilet paper and soap! Especially since we were not prepared for an overnight trip. Highly recommend the Blue Oasis to anyone looking to vacation in OBX.

About the host

Hosted by Lauralee Harding

Host profile image
The Blue Oasis is owned by Dennis & Lauralee, who have 4 beautiful children. We are entrepreneurs from northern Virginia, who have businesses in real estate investing, building contracting, HVAC contracting, short term vacation rentals, as well as a new flower farming venture. We also homeschool our children and enjoy traveling and spending lots of time outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home only partially finished in 2012, renovated it, and opened it to guests in 2013. We love this home because if its close proximity to the beach, its location on a quiet street, in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood with nearby residential cops keeping an eye out for the community's safety and well-being. We have been bringing our family here for multiple yearly trips since our children were born. They have grown up making memories in this house, and it was really important to us to help other families make special memories here as well. We have all fallen head over heels for the Outer Banks area. One reason we chose this house was because of the location to all the OBX has to offer. We are not only within walking distance to the beach but also close to shopping, many restaurants, and popular sightseeing destinations. It is in a quiet neighborhood where we feel safe and secure with our family. Having this home has given us a unique opportunity to practice hospitality and have a wonderful, cozy, smoke-free vacation getaway for our family and friends, year after year.

What makes this property unique

This cozy cottage is unique because it is on the ground level with no step access. The downstairs sleeps 4 and is completely equipped with everything you need for handicap accessibility with no stairs required. We offer a really awesome, fenced-in, spacious backyard entertainment space, complete with an outdoor sectional sofa, picnic table, above-ground, fenced-in children's pool (9' in diameter and 28" tall at water line), gas grill, fire pit, hammock, swing, clothesline, a shed with yard and beach equipment, and an outdoor shower stall. A brand new hot tub will be installed April 2024!
