About this property

Bluewater Dream- Short Walk to Beach/ Pool/ Hot tub/ Game Rm/ Scr Porch/Pets OK

Sometimes dreams do come true, and we would love to share our dream with you for your own family retreat at Bluewater Dream.
This beautiful home is filled with everything you could possibly want for a wonderful beach vacation. There is a private pool and 6 person hot tub, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, jetted tub in the top floor master bath, a game room with wet bar and a screened porch with wonderful lighthouse views. Recent upgrades are Trex deck furniture, a Mesh WiFi system and Roku added to all TVs. New in 2024: Quiet LG Dishwasher and clothes dryer. Deck surfaces were also renewed. There is a new 5 person Hot Tub for 2025.
We chose this house for its perfect location in the charming Northern Outer Banks, with its upscale atmosphere, beautiful private beaches, convenient shopping, lots of family activities and restaurants.
This home site is nestled on a quiet cul de sac on the Sound side of the exclusive Ocean Hill Community, with a beautiful ocean front community pool facility. Across the street from Bluewater Dream is the (optional) fitness center, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, a playground, basketball courts, Crystal Lake and the sound side community pool. The ocean is an 8-10 minute walk, or you can pack the kids and beach chairs in the car and drive 1 minute to the ocean front facility parking lot where you can enjoy the private beach and community pool, and take advantage of the snack bar or of course, soak up the sun on the beach.
Access to the 4 x 4 beaches is only a half mile north! So, you can pack your own (or a rental) 4-wheel drive vehicle with lunch and spend the day on the beautiful beaches that stretch for miles. In season, you will need a Currituck County permit to park on the 4 x 4 beaches. Be sure to watch for the wild horses of Corolla! The villages at Ocean Hill is at the end of highway 12, so the pace is slower. This location is a real gem!

1st Floor: A King bedroom is located here with an en suite bathroom, which is great for anyone wanting to LIMIT THE USE OF STAIRS. There is a separate game room with Sofa and easy chairs, wet bar, microwave and mini fridge with foosball table, LED TV and PLAY STATION 3! Access to the pool area and hot tub and of course, the outdoor shower, is here. There is also a gas grill for your convenience.

2nd Floor: There are 4 large Queen bedrooms on this level. One has 2 queen beds. Each pair of bedrooms shares a full bathroom. The full-size washer and dryer are located on this level. And there is a full length second floor deck with Trex Deck Chairs, Rocking chairs, a Table and Chairs and a kids size picnic table.
3rd Floor: This floor features a King bedroom with a En Suite bathroom, that features a separate shower and jetted jacuzzi tub.
Since this is a reverse floor plan, the top floor features the great room living area with Lazyboy recliner sofa, the dining area and a modern kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a large breakfast bar. There is also a screened porch with table and chairs, gorgeous lighthouse views, and a large deck overlooking the pool area that features Trex loungers and Adirondack Chairs.
There is also a half bath on the landing to serve this area.

Loft: The loft, or ships watch, is a great little get away with a comfortable day bed and trundle.

Maximum Capacity is 16 ( Max14 Adults):
2 King Masters
5 Queens
2 Twins (Trundle/day bed in loft)

Bluewater Dream and Corolla, NC

Bluewater Dream was a wonderful base to experience the northern outer banks. It is less busy there, but there are many amenities and things to do. The house is convenient to the beach, the sound, the wild horses and the Currituck lighthouse.

Wonderful Vacation

All 16 of us had a wonderful time at this house. There was plenty of room for all of us and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The sunrise on the beach was beautiful and we had fun at the beach during the day and the big pool near the beach. The house is in a nice, quiet location but close to many things to do with a beautiful view of the lighthouse.

Amazing home to connect as a family despite a rainy week!

Bill and Linda’s home was the perfect place for us! The playground and pickle ball courts were just down the street and the beach was a short drive or easy 10 minute walk away. Unfortunately our week held lots of rain but the hot tub on the lower deck and large kitchen/great room provided a great space for gathering for playing games. Communication was quick and easy and the house was clean and fully stocked. Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Linda Tripepi

Host profile image
Our family has been coming to the Outer Banks for many years. We just love it here-Corolla is fantastic! We are happy to share our beautiful beach home with those who would like to stay in our "Bluewater Dream".

Why they chose this property

We were first introduced to the Outer Banks when we lived in Virginia Beach in 1980. We spent many wonderful weekends camping here and after we moved away, spent many summer vacations with our kids in the Outer Banks.
It is just a perfect place for an affordable family vacation!
In recent years, we have gravitated to the Northern Outer Banks with all of its amenities and beauty. This area, being close to the 4-wheel drive area, is an oasis away from the denser housing areas.
Now we have secured our retreat in the place we love. We hope you will grow to love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

This property has it all. Six bedrooms for friends and family, a private pool, a 6-person hot tub, a screened in porch, light house views, 2 large community pools, a workout facility, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, a large lake, community walkways and trails, an oceanfront facility (private beach) with rest rooms, a less dense housing area and its nearness to the wild 4-wheel drive area.
