The property is lovely--we had everything we needed. The pool is beautiful as well. The owner allowed us to have extended family over for dinner which was much appreciated. Unfortunately, the Hurricane knocked out power and phones were not working so hard to communicate. But we were safe at the house. I would stay again as the space is lovely.

My family enjoyed a great evening at this place. Tucked away from everything it was just what we needed. The pool was a nice bonus. My kids could have played in the pool all night.

Outstanding decor inside all amenities included and a serene outdoor space with lovely tropical plants and plenty of choices for spending your time reading poolside or enjoying your coffee listening to the birds. The owners thought of everything. One of the best VRBO i have stayed at in 15 years.

We stayed at the Blue Door Guesthouse this weekend as we celebrated the life of my father. The house is beautifully appointed, and the entire space is designed for gathering. We were very comfortable and communication with the hosts was very quick. I would not hesitate to stay here again the next time I am n the area.

This is a beautiful home. The best part is that our hosts, Greg and Linda, really do think about every detail so that it feels like home away from home. I very much appreciated their attentiveness!

This beautiful property was perfect for what we needed. Our son had a soccer tournament in Hickory with spaced out game times, rescheduled games due to weather, etc. The Blue Door Guesthouse was our comfortable oasis to relax and enjoy family time. The pool was great, even in May! The hosts are top knotch. Highly recommend!

I have so much to say but I’ll try to condense it as much as possible. First of everything is super clean. The pool was perfect and the beds were super comfy. Family and I keep our home super cold so it worked out great. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Simba was a nice surprise as well, the kids loved him!

Property was quite beautiful and private. Surrounded by trees. The yard was very well done with a fire pit hang out area, pool and shaded and sunny areas to lounge. They had hammocks and nice patio fir inure. Inside the place was immaculate and very well designed.rooms were spacious with walk-in closet’s and really nice showers in the bathrooms. Tiled kitchen was so pretty with everything that you need.
