Beautiful views and well maintained. Would recommend to anyone.
House was absolutely perfect. It had all the amenities that we wanted (pool and hot tub) and the views from the top floor are breathtaking. It was so quiet and serene and really was a lovely time

Paradise at Blue Fin is a labor of love by the owners. They are VERY hands on, making improvements every year! I hope you will come again!!
The house has everything that you need to have an amazing family vacation. First time to OBX and luckily, we picked a home in the 4x4 area. Views and location are fantastic from sunup to sundown. Having a heated pool and hot tub are a must after a day on the beach to enjoy the evening. Wish we could have stayed two weeks.

We highly recommend Paradise at Blue Fin for your family stay. This house had everything we forgot to bring! Lots of childproofing was a huge help with our 2 boys. The property owners were really great people too!

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Paradise at Blue Fin. The owners of this home KNOW what it means to be at the beach with young kids. So, the baby equipment and toys are a big help for young families. That pool sure is a pleasure as well. I hope you and your family will come again. We'd love to have you.
I stay at Paradise at Blue Fin was very enjoyable. The house was very clean and well kept. The pillows could have been more comfortable but the kitchen was well stocked. We had a wonderful week at this house.

After renting over a dozen properties on the outer banks over the years, we found this house to be perfect for our needs as well as a beautiful location. The house was very well equipped. We travelled with two small children and found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely rent this house again. The people at Carova Cottages were very helpful and responsive along the way. Thank you for a great vacation!
Property was beautiful and clean. My family had a wonderful time ponies came right by the property and dolphins spotted right out in the ocean multiple times. Property itself was just as described enough cooking space to feed all 10 of us and enough privacy we weren't tripping all over one another. I will return hopefully soon!! Thanks for the memories!!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. I never tire of the wild horses, even after all these years here, they are ALWAYS a thrill. We're so glad you found Paradise at Blue Fin just right for your family. It's nice to spread out and relax! Please come again, we would love to have you.
We loved the location of this beautiful remodeled home where we walked to the beach daily. It has everything you will need for cooking to beach chairs! The third floor is very open and bright and has amazing views of the ocean with a boardwalk to the beach! We enjoyed the extensive decks all around the home! We will definitely be rebooking this home because it’s an excellent place to unwind ,listen to the ocean and to see the wild horses!!!

We're so happy you had a great time at Paradise at Blue Fin. The new owners of this home have made it so airy and light! That dune walk is fantastic, particularly with young kids or dogs. Just stay on the boardwalk!! Next year there will be a pool to the south side of the dune walk! :-)
Thank you for taking such good care of the house. You and your pups are welcome back anytime!!!

Birthdays at the beach are the BEST! The horses like to graze on the oceanfront dune at Paradise at Blue Fin. It can be quite a spectacle seeing them grazing as the sun rises. Paradise!!
Thanks for your repeat business and hope you all will come again!

I think that grill was on it's last legs by the time you stayed. I'll put a bug in the owner's ear on it. They don't last long here!!! Next time, give us a call. We may be able to figure something out.
So glad everything else was good. We hope you will consider coming again. We'd love to have you.

House was great, bathrooms good, plenty of space for our family. Clean, updated, good location, comfortable beds! Downside was some cooking utensils to have would have been nice for number of people and cooking- electric griddle, larger skillet/lids. Otherwise great place.

THANKS so much for your wonderful review. Paradise at Blue Fin has been a labor of love for the new owners. They have outfitted it with everything you should need but it sounds like we should double check for the larger fry pans. Griddles are a personal choice.. but I'll check in with the owners and see if they would like to supply one for the house. They are not a typical standard. THANKS and we hope you will come again.

Great Location and loved the heated pool.
Our overall stay at Blue Fin was good. My family really enjoyed the heated pool, especially during the cooler days of May. I did think that the pictures of Blue Fin were misleading. Once we got there, I noticed that there were some structural damages that were not addressed property which to us affected the presentation and esthetics of the property. Honestly, I think the price point doesn't match how the property looks and what it has to offer. It was nice to get away for a week but we won't be renting this house again.

Hi Joe,
This home has been redone over the past two years with a brand new interior and all new exterior siding. Outside, the decks are grey but perfectly serviceable. Is that what your concern is? The pictures in the listing are an exact depiction of the house. Thanks for your input.
This property offers the most beautiful views in a peaceful setting. The property had quite obviously been recently updated. The home was beautifully decorated, well-equipped, clean and inviting. The view from the gorgeous upper level is just extraordinary! During our visit, some of the horses grazed in the yard before heading out to the beach. We enjoyed the hot tub, the hammock and the binoculars. We were impressed with the provision made for families with children-from the outlet covers, high chairs, deck railings and gate, toys and child friendly tableware, the owners have made every effort to welcome the youngest members of your family to their home. Highly recommend…

THANKS for your great review. The owners of Paradise at Blue Fin have worked so hard on updating this home, all while managing their own small children. It has been a true labor of love and they are both quite talented in making a house feel like a home. All the little touches, decor and modernization have made this a special place for every family, not just their own.
SO glad you enjoyed the "first stay" in Paradise at Blue Fin. We hope you will come again!

We had a few issues but nothing major. Our one main issue was the upstairs fridge was not working properly nor was it making ice. The owners were great about sending someone out to fix it however there was a storm about to hit so we just moved our food to the downstairs fridge. The hot water didn’t last long, so if you didn’t shower first you were taking a cold shower. I personally think the lower level should be a game room. It was kind of just space that’s unused.
