Amazing week long getaway. The Blue Sky was very spacious and clean. The location is perfect with a ton to do nearby. Jenna was an amazing host and we look forward to staying at the Blue Sky again. She provided tons of board games to do on a rainy night. For people visiting for the first time, we recommend trying out the mini golf places nearby and taking a day trip to Ocracoke. Cant wait to go back!

Misty’s Airbnb

TerriRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Misty's place was a great home away from home. It was comfortable and the home utilized the space well. We ate in for most meals and enjoyed the dining table that was great for meals and games. Our son performs at The Lost Colony and it was close by, so we enjoyed time with him and watching him perform. My in-laws joined us for Part of the trip and my other children joined us for part of the trip. It was a great home away from home with so many places to go nearby. Misty was so responsive and helpful!
