WHY OUR OWNERS love BEING PART OF OUR family

Jay & Tracey F

We thought owning rental property was going to be a headache. Bluewater quickly proved us wrong. Their property management team is very attentive and very professional. We feel secure knowing they have our best interests in mind. We truly look forward to working with them for years to come and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Before we owned a beach house, we rented from Bluewater on and off for about 30 years. This gave us a unique perspective on how the Company treats both the owner and renter, especially during unforeseen events. When we finally purchased a place, we chose Bluewater to help manage it because we knew of their commitment to marketing and managing with top-notch service, representing the owner to the best of their ability, and most importantly, making renter stays positive, comfortable, and memorable.

Our property manager, Nikki, along with her friendly, professional, and prompt staff provides around-the-clock service to all which is reassuring as an out-of-state Owner. We know that our NC beach home is in good hands with Bluewater, and for that we are grateful. We highly recommend Bluewater for your rental needs.

HUGE SHOUT OUT!!!! Brittany Schumucker and the team at Bluewater are incredible. I purchased 3013 Ocean Drive in early 2020 and the rental calendar was pretty good, but 2021 was AWESOME, and as of February 2022 we could be headed to an even more profitable year!!! Thank you for everything you do!!!

Working with Bluewater since we bought our property has been great! Rentals have been consistent and their support and advice has always been available when we’ve asked. Since we live hours away, it’s very comforting to know they’re there when we need them. S&N Webster
We have been owners with Bluewater since 2012 and could not be happier with our decision to have them manage our vacation home. Whether the call for assistance is from us or our renters, Bluewater always responds quickly. Its employees truly care and are eager to help.
