ABOUT ME

I’ve lived on the Crystal Coast on and off since 2008. I’m originally from Nags Head, NC but I love it here because it’s beautiful, quaint, secluded, and less busy than any other beach on the East Coast that I know of! My favorite thing about living here is that I live steps away from the sound and only a block away from the ocean and that I can go anytime I want. One of the reasons why I like being a part of Bluewater is that they are good to you and will work with you. You never feel like you do not matter. I choose to be a part of Bluewater’s team of Certified Vacation Planners because I enjoy making people happy. Anytime you get to go on vacation, screams happy.

ABOUT ME

Originally from Pennsylvania, I moved to the Crystal Coast in 2010! This Pennsylvania girl wanted out of the snowy winters and the long drive to the beach. I now live right outside of beautiful Emerald Isle and absolutely love it. I love the warm summers, but fall on the island is my favorite. The weather is gorgeous, and the beaches open up to vehicles for fishing and relaxation. Bluewater has been an amazing company to work for. It is great being a part of a company where everyone matters and makes a difference.

ABOUT ME

Being born and raised right here in Carteret County, I cannot see living in any other area. As a former pirate, after going to ECU right after high school, I still found my way back home… to the beach. I have two boys and love that we can take just a short ride and either end up at the beach, play in the sound on busier days, or even just to the park. One of my favorite things about this area is those Carolina skies whether it be sun rise or set, they are unforgettable. Being able to live where you come to vacation is truly a blessing to all of us locals here in Emerald Isle and Atlantic Beach.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised on the Crystal Coast, I am proud to be a part of the Bluewater team since 2007. My fiance and I are both very fortunate to be working for the same company where we get to ride to work together daily and share the same schedule. This has been a huge blessing to us. The sunsets here are amazing, and my absolute favorite is the fresh local seafood. I enjoy taking long adventurous hikes through the Croatan National Forest and spending fun afternoons fishing with my family. I love how there is so much history to learn all the many beautiful sights to see. We are close to everything with endless things to do. This is a place you never get tired of and can come back to year after year, making a lifetime of memories.

GUEST TESTIMONIALS

Cindi C.

We were extremely impressed with everyone we encountered at Bluewater. The communication we received before check-in regarding the local community, restaurants, etc. and at check-in regarding check-in/checkout was clear and concise and we appreciated being able to utilize texting (and the numbers for who to contact for what issue was made very clear as well). Any time we reached out we received a quick response which was appreciated. Bluewater gets an A+.

Everything was very seamless – check-in and check-out, as well as our entire stay. We LOVED it!! Thank you for everything.

We usually choose a beach house at a different beach for vacation. This year we chose Emerald Isle and a condo. Bluewater Vacation Rentals made the reservation seamless and the vacation was nice. They also offered a military discount! We’ve decided that a condo is too small for us so we will be back to using a beach house. We did love this beach more than any other beach we’ve been at. The water is so clear and clean. Several things to do in the area and it made it a nice family vacation. Thank you Bluewater!

I am truly BLOWN AWAY by the excellent service we have already received in our first week staying at a Bluewater-managed property (Pebble Beach, Emerald Isle, NC) in December 2020. We have gotten terrific service from everyone we have been in contact with, including Joyanna Gratton in Rental Sales, Maintenance, Housekeeping, and front desk staff at the Rental office. Bluewater is doing a really excellent job. It is a real and rare pleasure to receive such great service all around.

Y’all knock it out of the park!
We filled out the check-in checklist provided in the unit to notify Bluewater of things needing attention, including a dishwasher repair, and turned it in on Friday. On Saturday afternoon we also discovered we needed a washing machine repair. By Sunday afternoon, every item on the list was taken care of, in detail, even the “little things” on our crazy-long list.
Kudos to Donnie in Maintenance for fixing a washing machine and dishwasher that both seemed unfixable (saving the owner from having to buy 2 new appliances, and me from making do without them until they could be replaced), and for fixing everything on our list. The repaired washer and dishwasher are now working great and we feel so grateful. What a BLESSING y’all are, thank you!

We always rent with Bluewater Vacation Rentals. They make the whole process effortless from start to finish. The staff is always very friendly and informative. Love the layaway options for the rentals also! I have always recommended Bluewater to my family and friends for a great vacation experience. We are already planning for next year’s visit to beautiful NC.

I’ve booked with Bluewater three times now, two different houses. Both houses were awesome for what we needed, nice and clean and no issues at all. Will definitely book with them again in the future!

I have used Bluewater Vacation Rental’s a few times and they have never disappointed me. The last house we rented for a week was amazing. Super clean and close to the beach and attractions. Booking the vacation house was easy and any issues that we had before or while staying at the home were taking care of in a reasonable amount of time. We will be using Bluewater in the future for our family vacations!

Bluewater is the only company we ever rent from when going to Emerald Isle. The houses are always impeccably clean and the customer service is outstanding. It is also nice that some of the properties allow pets without a pet fee. Highly recommend going through them to book your next vacation!!

The beach house was lovely. The sliding door was off track and very hard to open. We called Bluewater and it was repaired right away. We loved the location and cleanliness of the house!

We stayed at Looney Dunes in October and it was great, beyond our expectations. Bluewater is great to work with and is quick to respond to any requests you make. I highly recommend Bluewater and Looney Dunes. Very pleased and plan to use them again.

We have planned our beach vacations with BluewaterNC for years now and we’ve never been disappointed. Most of their rentals are immaculate and provide all the necessary perks for an awesome beach vacation. Whenever we’ve run into a problem with our rental (a rare occurrence), BluewaterNC has gone above and beyond to address the issue. We’ll never use anyone else!

We love, love, love Emerald Isle and the simple and easy way to check in and check out. We have never been disappointed !! Thank you Bluewater !!

I stayed in 1 Fish 2 Fish this year and could not have been more pleased. The house was perfect for our large family—2 nice screened-in porches, 6 large bedrooms, huge tables for eating, and a gorgeous beach theme throughout. The kitchen was well stocked, the house was clean, and we all decided this was our house for next year! I’ve been dealing with Bluewater for years now—they have always taken care of any issues that arise and even notified me, and asked if we wanted to change houses because the elevator had taken a hit during the previous storm. Customer Service to the MAX for me!

We’ve been renting homes through Bluewater for more than 15 years, and we wouldn’t consider any other company! Awesome people and awesome rentals!

This was my first time with Bluewater. Have been to Emerald Isle for years with other major rental agencies on the island. Will never go back to them. Bluewater is amazing – from online rental portal, to keyless rentals, to AMAZING customer service AND people the actually answer the phone for monthly rentals. And are lovely on the phone! Thanks for a wonderful rental experience!
