The house was beautiful and clean, and we loved being right on the ocean. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking supplies. There was plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable, and ample space to gather as a family. Would definitely stay here again!
Everything was great for our 10 adults and 9 children Christmas vacations. Cooking supplies were plentiful and the family had a great time inside and on the beach.
There were several minor issues that we encountered. Sand fell from a comforter when removed from closet.Kitchen/dining room table was extremely sticky, even after we gave it a thorough scrub, loose knob that came off in 3rd floor bedroom (just needed tightening?).Unable to log into personal accounts on TV. Was unable to get anything other than lukewarm water from the 2nd floor bedroom bath. Musty smell in basement bedroom. All of us loved the location and convenience. Beautiful home. Exceptional access to beach. Elevator made life a lot easier.
My family had a great stay at oak island. The home was nice, spacious, and had convenient access to the beach. The check in and check out process was clearly posted in several locations making it easy to follow the rules.
We got married here and I canât say enough about how wonderful this property was for an intimate wedding! Plenty of room, stunning views, and clean! It was everything I hoped for on our special day!
There were seven of us staying at the property and we all really enjoyed it. The house had everything we needed and we all had plenty of space. The easy access to the beach was wonderful. Having an ice maker ended up being a bonus treat and very useful. The property was just as described and we would definitely rent it again.
I booked this home for my wedding in March. It was perfect! Beautiful, clean, and the beach was gorgeous. The house is just like the pictures and Rose and Larry are incredible hosts. Thank you!
Rose and Larry have a very accommodating home. Our four families that travel annually to the beach together fit comfortably (4 king beds and 3 extra rooms to disperse children!) and appreciated the easy access to the beach. The kitchen was quite adequately equipped, and the back porch provided ample seating and shade. The two dining tables were perfect for our large group. We will definitely be back!
This was our fourth trip to OKI and our first stay at Blue Rhapsody. Weâll be back!! Itâs a wonderful layout for a large family/group, as we were there with three generations. Rose and Larry keep a clean house and we much preferred it to the house we stayed at that was âmaintainedâ by an agency. There was everything we neededâŠand then some! The location is perfect, at the quieter west end, and the boat launch around the corner proved to be our 12 year oldâs favorite spot to fish and toss his cast net.
This beautiful house was perfect for our needs. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. The beach access couldn't be better. The owners responded instantly when called. The kitchen was lovely, especially the 2 refrigerators. The elevator was a great help in getting luggage to the top floor. We enjoyed the town and surrounding areas; kayaking to shark tooth island, air boat ride to see baby gators, electric bikes and the Friday outdoor concert and of course the beach! We recommend this house for a lovely vacation.
This beach front house is so spacious! It fit 4 families, with 10 kids total. Several closets are big enough for pack-n-plays for the babies. We had a great time. Comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen and the location canât be beat! Prompt responses from the owners and easy to work with. Weâre tempted to book again for next year!
We were 3 families with a total of 13. We spent 3 days fishing and ventured out for a couple of rounds of golf. We ate every meal in and the kitchen has everything you would need and more. Everyone was able to exercise, swim, read and play beach games with plenty of room for your own quite time if you need it. We look forward to many more trips
Giving this property 5 stars would be a miscarriage of justice. A VAST understatement to say the least !!! The home the location, and most importantly the owners are phenomenal !!!! One concern, resolved quicker than a hiccup. The narrated You Tube video on the property that they have produced presents the property very well. I am coming back next year !!!
We loved our stay and the home was set up perfectly for multiple families. It was so kid friendly and stocked with kids books, games, a few toys, high chair and baby gates.
The kitchen is perfect and huge and plenty of space to spread out and gather. It is stocked with everything you could need.
The rooms are comfortable and everything was super clean!!
The backyard area was great for the kids and it was so easy to access the beach. No big staircase so go down - you just step right onto the beach from the deck.
The home location was perfect - secluded enough but also not too far from whatever you need. There is even a cool bar/restaurant that you can walk to!
We loved the home and hope to return one day!!
This is the first house in 30+ years that sleeps 20 and SEATS 20 as well as has a kitchen that is set up for 20+. We are used to bringing most of our supplies for cooking/ daily kitchen needs but, not in this house! The house is beautiful, the kitchen is fully stocked. The beds were comfortable, the couches were comfortable, the chairs were comfortable. I can't say enough what a great house this was for us !
We stayed here with 12 adults + 8 kiddos ranging from 3 months to 5 years old. We loved the beach front location and the house had quite a bit of room for everyone. There were a few things that we were disappointed at: the listing provided the incorrect number of fridges (said 3, there was only 1) and that the 3rd floor does not have wifi. The hosts did contact us about these things but it did make the trip a bit more complicated than it needed to be. Overall though, great location and great place to stay with a large group!
I booked this stay for my wedding. Larry and Rose were exceptional hosts. My family that stayed in the house, loved the location, house set-up, and access to the beach. The space allowed us to use the large garage for reception food set-up, the large backyard was perfect for a 20x20 tent, and guests had access to enough bathrooms. Communication with the hosts were top notch and they were flexible, allowing me plenty of time to set-up and breakdown while working with my vendors. Overall, we had a perfect wedding weekend and our family is still raving about the ceremony and house. We came prepared and had bug and ant spray, which did come in handy since this was an outside reception and there were ants in some areas.
We used Blue Rhapsody as our wedding venue and all of our dearest friends stayed with us. The weekend was amazing! The space was amazing and Rose and Larry were SO communicative, responsive and kind. One thing I will note is if you are considering this space for your event please keep in mind it is a residential area and the sound ordiance begins promptly at 10pm. It wasn't a problem for us because that was the time our reception ended - just something to keep in mind! A million thanks to Rose and Larry!
Rose and I have been coming to Oak Island since 2003. Moving here permanently in 2019. Rhapsody in Blue is our third home. Check out our other two homes (Wine & Roses and Sand Castle). We have a large family and love providing vacation homes to bring families together.
Rhapsody in Blue is located in the beautiful west beach area. There are gorgeous sunsets and sunrises from our deck. We have 100 feet of coastline on our oceanfront home. Our home is beautifully appointed. There are 2 large living areas and a sunroom. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are 2 dining areas. There are stunning views of the ocean and the Intercoastal waterway. When you enter our home, you will feel instantly relaxed.
As this home typically accommodates larger groups, we have included role playing kits. This includes murder mysteries for the adults and other mysteries to solve for the younger group.
