Our September Guest Photo Contest Winner is Ashley T.!📸

"Our rental experience was easy form booking, communicating and the entire stay. I've been booking since 2018 and have always been happy. I appreciate the ability to text if something small needs taken care of at the house or if there are any tech questions.
Our family watched a buoy wash ashore in the morning hours in Corolla. This made all the kids day to see how large it was and be able to sit on it 😀"

Thank you for choosing Blue and for sharing these amazing vacation memories!🩵

The Afterschool Program is in full swing, and we wanted to check in with what our participants are up to this week!

So far, the weekly activities have been packed with variety: we had Cast of Characters Theater Class, Board Game Bonanza, Choir, Upcycled Crafts, and GET OUT(side) Seed Hunt. Debbie guided the kids through making creme puffs (and yes, they were delicious!), the Construction Crew built bridges, Lou Castro taught ukulele lessons, students squared off in chess club, putting their best strategies to the test.

From music to baking to games of wit, the afternoons are full of creativity, learning, and fun!

Join us for the 3rd Annual Pubkin Patch Kid’s Event on October 11th (rain date: October 25th) at the Outer Banks Brewing Station Backyard! From 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, enjoy fall-themed treats, free pony rides, a petting zoo, pumpkin painting, and more! 🐴🎨

Proceeds from this event will benefit Surfing for Autism.❤️

Ned, our tour guide extraordinaire, shared these awesome photos with the team yesterday.

"The "locals" (horses) don't know what to do with it," he said with a grin. He's referring to Carova Beach Park's new horse sculpture that was placed in the park about a week ago. "The horses like to jump the fence to get in."

We zoomed in on the photo where one of the horses seems to be nuzzling the "quiet stranger " in the park. 🥰 Welcome to the neighborhood.

🌹🍷 It’s always rosé weather, and we’ve got the perfect lineup to sip all day long!

✨ Jose Ventosa Cava (Catalonia, Spain): Bubbles that burst with juicy raspberries and red apples, finishing with a refreshing minerality. This sparkling blend of Trepat and Pinot Noir is perfect for celebrations!

🌸 Bieler Père et Fils (Provence, France): A delicate dance of floral notes, wild red fruits, and summer herbs. This rosé embodies the essence of Provence with its nuanced flavors and lively energy—ideal for those sunny afternoons!

🍉 Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Rosé (Washington, USA): With bright aromas of watermelon and raspberry, this refreshing dry rosé offers a soft and flavorful palate. Its crisp finish makes it a must-have for any occasion!

🍓 Honoro Vera Rosé (Jumilla, Spain): This salmon-hued beauty combines Tempranillo and Syrah, showcasing bright red fruit flavors and a crisp watermelon finish. A delightful choice for warm days!

So grab a glass, kick back, and let the rosé flow—because every day is a good day for rosé! 🌞🥂 #RoséAllDay”

How about Leslie D. starting our week off right?!...

"Our guide, Tree, was nothing short of exceptional. His passion for the wild horses and deep knowledge of the area’s history and ecosystem made the tour both thrilling and educational. Tree’s enthusiasm was contagious, and he went above and beyond to ensure everyone in our group had a fantastic time, sharing fascinating stories and pointing out hidden gems along the way. The tour itself was perfectly paced, offering breathtaking views of the Outer Banks and up-close encounters with the majestic wild horses. Tree’s skillful navigation and genuine care for the horses and environment made us feel like we were part of something truly special. I can’t recommend Wild Horse Adventure Tours and Tree enough—book this tour for an adventure you’ll never forget!"

Thank you, Leslie, for these kind words., these awesome photos, and for allowing W.H.A.T. (and Tree!) to be part of your OBX adventure.
