| This was one of our family's best vacations so far. Our first time renting a vacation home (The Bluebird)and to the Outer Banks and both FAR exceeded our expectations! Our 8 yr old loved the bunk beds, game room, video games and pool. Our 8 mos old loved the toys, the pool and all the room. The whole home was beautiful and so well organized and equipped that we spent very little time settling in and got right to our vacation. Our busy little family enjoyed the time to reconnect and relax. We were sad to leave and can't wait to return to The Bluebird... |

| We absolutely loved our stay at Bluebird OBX. We stayed at the Currituck Club two years prior, but this house was better, by far. Noni was such a pleasure to deal with and was very diligent and organized regarding returning emails, answering questions, mailing a packet of brochures, maps, etc. The house had every amenity you could think of. We really did not need to bring a thing! I loved the blender (frozen drinks), the under the cabinet ice maker and the king size bed (feather bed made it sooooo comfortable!). I would definitely recommend Bluebird to anyone considering a trip to Corolla and enjoyed working w/ Noni (and Bill) as homeowners. They made vacation a simple thing to arrange, a pleasure to be at their wonderful home, and overall a terrific, relaxing vacation. We even had a welcome package that had cheese, crackers, dips, candy, etc awaiting our arrival. It is those special touches that really make a wonderful impression...We look forward to staying at Bluebird again in the future! |

Our stay at the Bluebird was outstanding! We have
rented many summer homes over the years and this
was by far, the best home we've stayed in. It is
clean as a whistle. We happened to arrive early and
met the carpet cleaners (could be coincidental that
the carpets were cleaned on our arrival day) The
Bluebird has EVERYTHING you could possibly need
to feel at home. It is so well appointed, we felt like
we were at our own home. My husband likes to
cook and often complains about the pots and pans
in the rental homes so this time we brought our
own, but we never used it! The Bluebird has terrific
pots and pans and everything a gourmet cook
could want. It even has an egg poacher and griddle
for pancakes! The beds were comfy, and the kids
loved the bunk beds! The Wii and Playstation were
a hit with both the little kids and the "big kids" :)
The pool was great to have -- the kids would jump
in after a long morning at the beach while the
toddler in our group took a nap. Noni was a
pleasure to deal with and so organized and
thoughtful to send us brochures and local
information before our trip. She answered all our
questions before the trip and gave us the codes to
the house/community gates when she said she
would. We will rent the Bluebird again next time we
are in OBX. Noni and Bill, thanks for letting us stay
at your home. It is truly lovely and so comfortable,
we all thought we could use another week! |

| What a perfect vacation home! Bluebird is truly one of the nicest vacation homes we have ever stayed in. Noni and Bill obviously know what families need on vacation, as Bluebird’s amenities were outstanding. From beach toys to gourmet kitchen equipment every little detail is well thought out! Thanks so much – we’ll be back! |

We were Noni and Bill's first guest of the summer 2007! It was our first trip to the Outer Banks and our experience could not have been more wonderful. Noni and Bill were a pleasure to book the rental with and could not have been more accommodating.
The Bluebird itself was absolutely perfect and we could not have wished for a more perfect 'home away from home'. Everything that we could have needed or wanted was there and even our 2 and 1 year old were taken care of with toys, videos, and beach toys. My aunt and uncle from Pittsburgh, PA , brother and sister-in-law from Charleston, SC and cousins from Harrisburg, PA all said that the Bluebird was our favorite rental we have ever had.
The men had a great time golfing, and the kids loved the trolley to the beach. The Currituck Club is a perfect place for families with a wide range of interest. We are already looking forward to next year. Thank you for everything! |

Our comment is way overdue only because life has been so hectic since getting back from our flawless vacation at the Bluebird. Our group cosisted of my parents, mother in law, husband and 2 year old daughter and amazingly a wonderful, relaxing, stress free time was had by all. Paul and Valerie have paid so much attention to detail including reservations & information supplied all the way to furnishing and ammenities provided in the Bluebird. The home was so beatifully decorated and totally confortable that even the worst of the sceptics in our group had nothing but glowing remarks. This area of the Outer Banks was, in itself, a pure delight compared to the more southern areas...we will be returning next year and no doubt will be as fully impressed with our experience.

We had a wonderful week at your place, the weather was perfect despite the storm brewing just off the coast. The house was well equiped as promised and we only ate out once during the entire week (the Harris Teeter is fabulous!!!). The collection of novels you have was great too - we all found something interesting to read. The boys went golfing Monday and Wednesday and really enjoyed themselves. Thanks again!

| We had a wonderful time at the Bluebird. The owners were fabulous and easy to deal with, and the accomodations were perfect! The house was neat and clean, and stocked with everything we needed for an enjoyable vacation. The games, hot tub, and pool were an added bonus. We enjoyed every minute of our stay, and will definitely be back. |

| Tom and I and our friends and children had ANOTHER memorable spring vacation at "Bluebird". Our husbands golfed every day in the morning while we slept in on your most comfortable bedding. The kids went on the go-carts and putt-putting and shopping. They got in the hot-tub and played foozball. It's nice to have tv's in the other rooms so the parents can enjoy the greatroom sometimes by ourselves. Your home is kept so nice and is just perfect in so many ways. As you know, we have stayed in Corolla for 5 years now, and your place has become penciled in each year. Thanks for always being accommodating. Eileen, Tom, Abby,John Luke and Thomas |

| Is this heaven?? No, its the Bluebird house in Corolla, NC, but its damn close. This house, community, and town provided everything needed for you to enjoy life in the Outer Banks. We vacationed here for a week with 7 kids under 6 years old and had a blast. From the foosball table, to the pool,and the hottub there was always something for everyone to do even when it rained(once). The trolley to the beach is perfect or you can take your car. The beach is beautiful, clean, and relatively uncrowded. The house is immaculate. It was like I was living in my own home. Stop reading already, book this place, and look like a hero to your friends like I did. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed two weeks of family beach vacation while staying at the Bluebird. The house was very nicely furnished, thoughtfully equipped, and overall, very comfortable. The multiple decks, porches and private pool made for a variety of pleasant spots to relax. The additional neighborhood amenities of the Currituck Club made our experience top notch. We plan to return to the Bluebird. |

From the first time we spoke with the owners regarding this property for a mini-family reunion, we were impressed. They were wonderful to work with, giving much useful information on the area, the community, and the home.
The home was comfortable, clean, and family friendly. We didn't have the feeling that we were staying in an overused rental property--much more like we were at the home of a friend (with good taste!). The pool and hot-tub and foosball table and the large kitchen and open floor plan were big hits; the proximity to the beach and the nice golf course was more than we could have asked for. |

| A GREAT time was had by all! Your home is beautiful, it is a very nice layout, and was very comfortable for our family. Also your attention to detail in regards to having everything that you would need in the kitchen area, to the game room, and especially the plasma TV / Bose sound system, all excellent touches!!!!!!! We are already discussing the possibilities of returning next year. Thanks again! |

You will be guaranteed a great time if you rent the "bluebird"!
The house is relaxing and comfortable. It has many great ammenities:(to name a few) hot tub, pool, separate ice making machine, excellent sound system and plasma tv in the family room and foozball!
Their furniture and beds are also very comfortable and tasteful.and the decking provides nice views of the golf course. We had a very nice experience renting the property in feb 2005, so it's also good in the "off season"
Thanks to Paul and Valerie for our wonderful stay in the Outer Banks! |

| the Bluebird is a beautiful spacious place to stay with all the comforts of home. it's location is close to many activities, the ocean and many fine restaurants. paul and valerie, the owners are wonderful to deal with. if you want to relax, the pool and hot tub, overlooking the golf course is the place to do it. if it rains, there are movies and games, such as the fooseball table, as well as the satelite, plasma tv gives you more than enough to do. the kitchen allows you the luxery of entertaining and the open floor plan allows conversation and interaction. having a washer and dryer allowed us to pack less. the hot tub at night is especially enjoyable, looking at the many stars. a place you will never forget. |
