Love the location. The property was perfect size and what we wanted for pool and hot tub etc. It was not clean when we checked in. The owner had been there and just left at 3 we were told. We were not reimbursed for the inconvenience of cleaning the kitchen, floors and refrigerator when we arrived. Thankfully a staff member arrived to help clean the lower level, sweep the carpet and clean bathrooms. This was up to 4 hours of our first day after driving 12. We were told we'd be given a call back on reimbursement after management talked to the owner and we never were called. This is unprofessional not to call us back and act like we'd forget. Any answer would have been better than none.<br/>Also, an outdoor light fell off the wall because of corrosion. This property has way to good of a location to be so poorly maintained. I'd buy it for it's location and renovate immediately if I could.
Hi James!

The Senior Vice-President of our company did call you and has sent you a sizeable refund for finding the home being left dirty. The homeowner deeply apologizes and we are so happy a team member came right to the property to make it right for you.

Great location, lots of amenities, diamond in the rough

First off I want to make it clear that if looking to stay in this house do not bring anyone where stairs are trouble. There are flights of stairs to get to everything in and around the house as well and a hike to the beach. Aside from that and that there are some parts of the house that are dilapidated we had a great time. There were aspects that you can tell the owner tried to make the stay comfortable that maybe others might miss. New floors in the living area, living room furniture in great shape, the hot tub seems almost new AND the AC did a great job keeping us cool. <br/><br/>The house exterior could benefit from some work as well as a thorough cleaning (construction materials littering the grounds).

We arrived at the property 9-16-23. While waiting to enter we noticed the front door was filthy. There were cobwebs and spiderwebs around the top of the door. When entering the first floor we entered the bathroom and noticed a huge hole in the ceiling and a huge water stain in the hall ceiling. the mirrors throughout the property were dirty as well as all ceiling fans. The floors were sticky and had sand on them. The pillows on the beds had yellow stains on them. The carpeted steps were stained and dirty. Behind the bedroom furniture was dust and dirt. The microwave above the stove sparked when we turned it on. The refrigerator had a huge rust stain on the outside and leaked inside. The blinds in the kitchen were broken and filthy. The screen doors upstairs and downstairs were broken. The hot tub jets did not all work. The area under the house by the pool was filled with broken chairs, old toys, broken umbrellas. We immediately called Carolina Shores and reported all these problems. They did send out a cleaning crew, carpet cleaner, Maintenance worker and replaced the broken umbrellas. They told us they spoke to the owner of the property and he agreed to give us 300.00 back. When I requested the owner come to the property and do a walk through with me he refused. Disappointed and Disgusted. This property should not be rented until all the problems are fixed. It's an eyesore and the photo's depicted are old and misleading. On the positive side it is right by the beach and has a pool.<br/>

First vacation with new grandson. First vacation not staying in Duck. Corolla did not disappoint and neither did Dakota Blue Jay! Location was phenomenal to the beach. We could bring our dog. The pool was fantastic for the grandbaby and for us older folks. The hot tub was a nice evening soak to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves. Plenty of room for everyone. Very private to enjoy family without lots of distractions. Ready to go back again!

House and pool needed repairs. House needed a good cleaning.

Semi-Ocean View clouded by Neglected Maintenance<br/>Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2 out of 5 stars)<br/>Our family vacation to the Outer Banks was a mixed bag of experiences due to the state of the vacation home we stayed in. The home boasts an impressive location, with a partial ocean view and convenient 30 second walk to the beach (the only house without a walkway to the communal walkway).<br/>However, upon entering the home, we were greeted by an unpalatable sight. The overall cleanliness of the property left much to be desired. There was a pervasive lack of attention to detail that was immediately apparent. It seemed like the property hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in some time. This was especially true of the exterior doors and windows, which were smeared with fingerprints, we were told by the cleaning crew that they ‘do not clean exteriors’.<br/>The house itself felt dated and untouched since the early 2000s, with wear and tear evident in many areas. It was a disappointment to see that the homeowners hadn't invested in any significant updates or repairs. Many aspects of the house were sub-par and this significantly detracted from our overall comfort and enjoyment during our stay.<br/>One saving grace was the pool, which was enjoyable once it was cleaned. We were disappointed, however, to find it in a less than pristine state upon our arrival, and it required additional cleaning by a pool professional. This incident, though resolved, further emphasized the overarching theme of poor maintenance.<br/>As for the service, the cleaning crew's policy of not cleaning exteriors left us with an added burden, detracting from our valuable vacation time. This policy, combined with the overall state of the home, left a bad taste in our mouth. Especially because we ended up cleaning the fingerprints off ourselves. <br/>In conclusion, while the location of this vacation home is undeniably fantastic, the lack of cleanliness and overall disrep

Nothing to complain about. It was a great time - very nice house, great location to food stores, shops, horse tour, Everything was in really good shape. I would recommend a board walk form the yard to the main boards going to the beach for convenience. Fair price - I'd go there again

If you’re purely looking for location this house is awesome! A very short walk to the beach. Look to the left and the beach is empty! And there’s a pool. Not many of the houses near us had one so this was a definite plus. The house....ouch. The house needs some major love. The interior was repainted at some point but it’s a terrible paint job with mismatched colors used during touch-ups. The kitchen is pretty gross. I really have no words for the backsplash behind the stove. The fridge has something growing on the handle. And then there’s the decking. Some boards have been replaced. Some are painted, some are stained. The bathrooms are in need of updating and fixing the holes in the downstairs shower stalls. The owners really need to find a reputable person to do some quality updates to this house. I did appreciate the updated flooring on the main level!

I have vacationed in Outer Banks Rental Properties for the past twenty years. Accordingly, I always expect them to have minor problems and not be as clean as some may prefer. <br/>Nonetheless, Dakota Blue Jay was the worst house I have ever rented. It was unfortunately in horrible condition and filthy, very outdated, and in a state of disrepair. To name a few qualms, bathrooms were missing towel racks, neither set of sliding glass doors worked properly, the outdoor furniture was substandard, kitchen supplies were inadequate, and cosmetic features were unsatisfactory. Pictures of the property displayed umbrellas on the porch and around the pool, yet were not provided. The concrete around the pool was crumbling and falling apart. The hot tub jets did not work and could not be repaired as they did not have the parts. The mattresses were awful quality, beds classified as twin beds were no more than trundle 4 inch cot mattresses, the inside of the fridge leaked, and the washer, located under the house, leaked water onto the floor. Straightforwardly, the property needs a major overhaul. <br/>After I spent the first day washing all of the linens and disinfecting everything, my family enjoyed spending quality time with one another. A positive review I can offer includes the location of the property and short walk to the ocean. Regrettably, I would not recommend Dakota Blue Jay.
Kristen,
We are so sorry you did not enjoy your stay at Dakota Blue Jay.
Carolina shores and the Owner have been working in the off season on these areas.
New pool chairs, upgrades in bedding, sliding doors, and the hot tub to name a few.
We are glad you enjoyed the location, the beach and did have quality time with your family.

This house is great! It’s just steps away from the beach access and in a central location in Corolla. We enjoyed the private pool and hot tub each day! The house was decorated nicely with an overall beach theme that made it feel more special. Comfortable furniture and beds! We had all the tools necessary to make meals in the kitchen.

The location of the house was great. The pool was a nice addition after a day at the beach. However, the house was not clean. Ants in the kitchen, dog hair everywhere. The landscape needs a lot of attention, the bushes along the drive need to be trimmed. The rental agency was quick to respond to the issues.

The booking process was easy, the company was very responsive via phone and email. <br/><br/>The Dakota Blue Jay could use a little TLC and a good deep-deep clean. BUT keep in mind this is thankfully a pet friendly rental, and it would appear some people simply weren't respectful in the unit with their pet, and left hidden proof behind that my dog sniffed out. The unit is also older, AC has a hard time keeping the entire house at desired temperature, especially in bedrooms downstairs. The outside grill had rusted through and was in half - we never got to use it. The house needs a good paint was comfortable enough though, kitchen had everything we needed, good living room space.<br/>For the purpose of our family and dogs, this unit worked perfect for our needs; great location, private pool, plenty of bathrooms. <br/><br/>We really enjoyed our stay, and I consider my qualms of the unit needing some TLC and cosmetic repairs to be minor. If in the OBX again, I'd consider renting again. The company was pleasant and easy to communicate with, my family was comfortable and had a great time, and it served all of our family's needs perfectly.

Our families came in from Denver Florida and New York. We had a great visit. The beds were good and the place was clean when we arrived. The handyman helped clear up most issues. The place was just like home with some door knobs needing a special turn but it was fine. Porches were great for reading and when it rained we had plenty of room to play "inside". The covered hot tub came in handy at that time too. Would do this again at this same place. Customer service from Carolina Shores was perfect.

Overall it is a nice home. It does need some TLC, but it is close to the beach (under 100yds. walk) and has enough room for a family vacation. The pool is a nice feature when the ocean is too rough to swim and the hot tub is nice as well. The beach has a lifeguard right near the stairs, providing a piece of mind when you have children in the water. The house needs a little painting, sliding door needs the screen replaced, minor issues which owner could do.

The house was just ok. It was pretty dirty and in need of some upgrades, like doorknobs that work and a decent paint job throughout. The pool was nice but very rough so the kids were all scratched up. The laundry room is on the ground level and not accessible from inside the house. It would have been nice to know that there is a 25 foot dune to go over to get to the beach. Lots of stairs to climb, not fun with small kids and lots of beach gear. Parking with multiple families is an issue, we had 1 car pulled out behind the lifeguard spot (not blocking anyone in) for a few minutes while we rearranged cars and a very rude cop showed up to give a ticket.
