We have been renting from Bluewater for five years now and never had issues like the trip we just…read morereturned from. We knew as soon as we opened the door that this house had issues. It looks dirty, the beds are old, blinds were broken, the kitchen floor was like a fun-house floor, the ceiling fan in the living room couldn't be shut off, the dining room light was ridiculously dim, the vent in the kitchen ceiling blew cold air directly from the outside the entire time, the neighbors could see directly into the bathroom because those blinds were broken too, and there were roaches. Lots of large roaches. On top of that, one of the bathrooms was so tiny that you could barely sit on the toilet and the shower was a joke. We're not particularly large people, but we couldn't use that bathroom. We arrived Saturday at 4:00, and I emailed Bluewater that night at 7:00 because I was so disappointed in the house. I listed half of those issues because that's all we'd noticed at that point. It got worse as the week went on. We've rented multiple other houses on Ocean Drive and this one was the worst. I received a quick response and someone showed up on Sunday (let themselves in even though we were sitting right there which I thought was incredibly rude) and changed a lightbulb, took pictures, and then I never heard anything again for the rest of our stay. I'm sorry, but at 3K for a week, someone could have come and hung $10 blinds in the bathroom. The entire house looked dirty and dated and was poorly stocked. Stay away from this place. I'll be sharing this review everywhere so no one else has to have this kind of experience.

We've rented from Bluewater for years. Unfortunately, the last 3 rental homes have been…read moredisgusting! Carousel was the first disaster! Great price and fabulous location-should have known it was too good to be true. Huge hole in decking-like big enough for a person to fall through. Leaking appliances and roof. House is absolutely disgusting. A neighbor stopped by when we were leaving. He said the home is completely neglected yet still rents. Don't waste your money! We've stayed at two additional homes since then. Both meh. The latest, 6/2021, had half smoked cigarette butts on the dresser and under the bed...is that actually considered Covid 19 level clean??? How do you miss cleaning those as well as addressing the smoke smell in a non smoking home. Also this rental was in June when you would expect the homes to be in pretty good shape-not lots of wear and tear. This home had dirty blankets, broken appliances(which were fixed while we were there), hair in the shower...too much to dismiss as a random miss. Bluewater's attention to detail in their rentals has declined exponentially over the years. We love renting in EI but Bluewater will not be our go to rental company moving forward.

Very dated, not well maintained, and dingy. There is no pride of ownership in this unit, and no value for the substantial $ you spend. When I stopped to the rental office to request sheets that actually fit the beds, ask that the tv in the upstairs bedroom be fixed and for utinsils to use with the BBQ, the agent seemed very uninterested. Having owned and rented to others a unit on this isle for 18 years, I know how important it is to get repeat renters...you do that by providing a clean, well maintained, updated rental unit. My rental managers always made very specific requests if they inspected and saw deficiencies . I have to question if anyone from Century 21 on Emerald Isle ever set foot in this unit. my business will go elsewhere next year.

Mary helped us negotiate and led us through the process patiently, no matter how many questions we had! We really like that everyone from the pleasant and professional voice at the office phone number, to the friendly and helpful staff in the office, are there to solve your real estate challenges and make the process as smooth as possible, with no surprises. No hard sell, no pushy people, just smiles and helpfulness. You can tell they don't want a customer for one transaction. They're in it for the long haul!
