The Blue Oasis This sweet beach cottage was the perfect place for our family for our staycation! It housed us well with perfect room for my family of 8! The house was spotless and had everything a family needed especially in the kitchen and the shed with all the beach supplies you would ever need on vacation! My children loved the little pool especially my youngest at 4, she loved swimming in it with her older sisters! The rest of the crew loved the hot tub and was in it every day! I loved the laundry room and all the cooking appliances as well! We cooked every meal but 2 and the kitchen had everything we needed to to cook with! My kids enjoyed the kids rooms upstairs. Enjoy the TVs as well in the rooms and loved playing the games provided. Their favorite was the game of Sorry!

This cottage was perfect for my family’s 5 night stay. Very clean, great location and outdoor space, plus an easy walk to the beach. Cottage was well stocked with everything we could possibly need and we especially loved having the beach cart and chairs to take to the beach. Lauralee provided lots of helpful info, great recommendations, and we didn’t have any problems at all during our stay. We had a great vacation and would definitely stay here again!

OBX Vacation

Blue Oasis was as advertised - a clean and cute house close to the beach and other activities. We enjoyed our brief stay in the OBX area. Often proximity to beaches bring noise yet this neighborhood was great. Thankful to Lauralee for making this a relaxing and activity-filled stay for us.

Oasis away from home

This was our first trip to the Outer Banks. It did not disappoint. The Blue Oasis was a home away from home with everything we could possibly need. The walk to the beach was easy and also a short walk to many great restaurants and attractions. It was the perfect way to spend our Independence Day.

Wonderful rental with amazing backyard!

This rental was perfect for our girls getaway, the Hardings have put so much time and thought into providing a home away from home. The layout of the house is perfect and is much more spacious than the pictures show. I loved the cozy backyard, the decor, very quiet area, and of course the beach. Can't wait to go back 🌴🌺

We had a wonderful stay in this cozy cottage. Each bedroom had comfortable beds and beautiful decor. Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy themselves. The kitchen has all the cooking items you may need. The cottage is just a short walk to the beach, and you can also relax in the hot tub out back. There is a Target within walking distance as well if you forget anything. Everything about this place is perfect. We would definitely stay here again. We were lucky to have found it!

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, home building , HVAC contracting, and short term vacation rentals. 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 of its close proximity to the beach and its location on a quiet street, in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood. 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 is 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 with no stairs required. We offer a really awesome, fenced-in, spacious backyard entertainment space, complete with a hot tub, an outdoor sectional sofa, a Blackstone Culinary Griddle, picnic table, above-ground, fenced-in children's pool (9' in diameter and 28" tall at water line), fire pit, hammock, swing, clothesline, a shed with yard and beach equipment, and an outdoor shower stall.
**PLEASE NOTE: No Smoking cigarettes, cigars, e-cigs, or marijuana anywhere on the premises. $500 security deposit hold required upon booking. Please read entire listing and all additional rules before making a reservation. Thank you!
