The Vision of Outer Banks Blue

The vision of Outer Banks Blue was developed by Tim Cafferty in 2005 after more than 25 years in rental management on the Outer Banks.

It all started long ago with a family-operated company when there was more sand and fewer roads. Growing over the years with the allure of the Outer Banks and through technological innovation, that company became the leader in local occupancy numbers. The year 2000 brought exciting new prospects, and looking for more, Tim Cafferty headed a venture with a nationally recognized and publicly owned corporation to build the largest inventory of vacation rentals on the Outer Banks. The merging of high-level business standards with the personalized management opportunities of family ownership became the foundation for Outer Banks Blue Realty Services. Visit our company values page to learn more about the standards that set us apart.

Mr. Cafferty's experience, attention to detail, and integrity (along with a team of experienced and dedicated personnel) has transformed the vision of Outer Banks Blue into one of the premier vacation rental companies on the Outer Banks. The decision to prioritize responsible growth remains central to the company, with a commitment to a quality vacation rental experience for guests and partners. We now represent 250+ vacation rentals and have remained consistent and successful in our mission of exemplary service and rental activity for our valued clients.
