Serving OBX and VA Beach: Blue Laundry Facility

At Outer Banks Blue and Sandbridge Blue, exceptional vacations begin with exceptional standards. One of the unique advantages that sets both companies apart is our dedicated Blue Laundry Facility in Elizabeth City. By owning and operating our own commercial laundry facility, we maintain greater control over the quality, consistency, and cleanliness of the linens used in our vacation homes.

This investment directly supports the guest experience by ensuring every stay begins with fresh, professionally maintained bedding and linens. At the same time, it supports homeowner success by helping preserve property quality standards, improve operational efficiency, and deliver the consistency today's vacation rental guests expect.

Spanning 16,000 square feet with an additional 5,000 square feet of storage space, the Blue Laundry Facility is a key component of the service and quality standards provided by both Outer Banks Blue and Sandbridge Blue.

The facility is equipped with:

• 6 commercial washers
• 8 commercial gas dryers
• Automatic ironing machine
• Shrink wrapping machine
• Small piece folder

With the capacity to wash and fold up to 650,000 pounds of laundry per week, our team can efficiently support hundreds of vacation homes while maintaining the high standards associated with our Blue Standard Bedding Program.

Guests may never see the Blue Laundry Facility, but they experience its benefits from the moment they arrive. Clean, crisp linens are one of the first indicators of a well-prepared vacation home, helping create a positive first impression and setting the tone for a comfortable stay.

Because linens are professionally processed using product-specific chemical formulations and standardized quality controls, guests can expect a consistent experience across our portfolio of homes. This attention to detail contributes to higher guest satisfaction and reinforces the quality standards that define both brands.

For homeowners, the Blue Laundry Facility provides an important operational advantage. Rather than relying on third-party laundry providers or managing inventory concerns, owners benefit from an in-house system designed to support property performance through elevated standards. 

In addition to enhanced quality and in-stock inventory, the Blue laundry facility supports our Blue Standard Bedding hospitality bedding program. Offer your guests fresh bedding on every arrival with this flagship amenity.

Benefits include:

• Top to bottom cleaning – Sheets, pillowcases, coverlets, bed scarves, and decorative pillows are all cleaned and maintained through our managed bedding program.
• A consistent sleep experience – Blue Standard Bedding creates the same clean, professionally presented look and feel from one stay to the next.
• Hospitality-style triple-sheeting – Guests enjoy the comfort of layered bedding with the cleanliness and presentation standards commonly found in high-end hotels.
• Commercially processed in our own facility – Bedding is laundered using hospitality-grade equipment and procedures designed for quality control and consistency.
• Prepared specifically for your arrival – Wrapped linens remain sealed until housekeeping is ready to make the bed, helping ensure a fresh, carefully prepared sleeping environment.

By centralizing linen care and quality control, we help ensure homes are consistently guest-ready while reducing operational complexity for owners.
