Blue Heron, Pet Friendly Corolla Home with Private Pool, Hot Tub and Ocean Views!

Welcome to the Blue Heron by KEES Vacations!

Corolla. Just the name evokes something wild and free. The wild horses that roam the beach. The Currituck lighthouse that still guides the sailors home. Corolla is now home to many activities, restaurants and attractions, yet still manages to maintain a remnant of the old Outer Banks. It is felt by all who travel here.

True to its name, The Blue Heron will greet you with its beautiful Carolina blue exterior. The home is a delight for all ages, with its bright decor and charming colors. Spanning three interior and exterior levels, there is plenty of room for everyone to claim their own spot. From the intimate lounge on the first level to the crow's nest way up on the third level, there are plenty of special spaces for the whole group.

Surely, though, the whole group will gather together at the 12 x 26 pool in the backyard. There are plenty of Adirondack chairs and loungers. Even a picnic table if you feel like dining al fresco! Take a dip in the bubbling hot tub and feel all your cares melting away...

Again, the third level great room will surely serve as the central gathering space for the group. Whip up a snack or a full meal in the striking newly renovated kitchen, completed in 2019, enjoy the view out the breakfast nook window or watch your favorite movie or TV show in the living room with wall-mounted TV. In the cooler months or on a rare cool summer evening, light a cozy fire.

The Blue Heron is just a quick 3-block walk to the wide sandy beaches of Corolla. Be sure to spend some quality family time enjoying nature at its very finest. There's nothing like the aquamarine waters and sugary sands of the Outer Banks. Memories made here are forever.

This property has 4 parking spots for guests.

**The Blue Heron is pet-friendly, so there is no need to leave your pooch at home! For a small one-time fee of $135, you can bring up to two dogs to our pet-friendly property. No cats or other animals, dogs only.**

**Private unheated pools will open on April 16th and close on October 1st. Hot Tubs are available year-round. Pools and hot tubs are cleaned weekly and no later than 6pm on check-in day. Vendors are subject to enter backyard to clean the pool and/or spa on scheduled cleaning days. No pets allowed in pools.**

Great location!
We enjoyed the location of this property! It was a short walk to the beach, close to shops, restaurants & grocery stores. The house was perfect for our family of 4, the pool & hot tub were a huge plus for us! The only issue we had was the trash from prior renters was left behind so my husband ended up taking it out. There were no trash bags & hand soap on the top level & when we called/emailed/messaged about it, we were told someone would drop it by the same day and after numerous follow ups, that finally happened 3 days into our stay. By that time, we had already gone out and bought trash bags and hand soap from the grocery store. Aside from that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We would definitely stay there again but we likely would make sure we brought back up trash bags and soap so we didn’t have to play the back and forth game with the property management group.

Wonderful family house
Our family really enjoyed the house. The house is set up perfectly for a family to enjoy time together but also to enjoy outdoor spaces together. The beds were comfortable and kitchen is well stocked. The house is also very close to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. When staying at this house you must go to the turtle pond and feed the turtles just right by the house.

Nice that it is available for less than a week
We only had the long weekend, but wanted to get to the beach. It is nice that this was available for less than a week. Nice that you can bring dogs. About 10 minute walk to the beach. Nice little lake with a path around it that is nice for walking dogs. Close to Timbuck II with restaurants and shops. Pool small but functional. Covered hot tub area is nice. Bathroom and shower near hot tub is a plus. All living space is on third level. Dogs got their exercise following us up and down. 😀

Amazing!
This is the best location I have stayed in in OBX, wonderful neighborhood and a few blocks from the beach, such a great vibe! The beds were super comfortable, each room had its own bathroom, the kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of room for everyone. Pool and hot tub were amazing. We had a problem with one of the AC units, we called and they had someone there within an hour. Definitely one of the perks of going through a place that has a management company. I don't think we will look any further for our next trip, this is the winner!

nice vacation stay
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.

Great location, awesome house!
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!

Great beach house in Corolla. Pool is a nice addition!
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.

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 Trip
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.

Great location and floor plan!
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.

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.
