    Brandi C.

    This is the second year we rented from Cola Vaughn this year being the worst. When we arrived at this house and upon making up the beds , one of the left sided bedrooms had Dog pee on the floor and on the bedskirt. We do not have pets. I took it off and put it on the floor. The bedskirt was also completely ripped on the side facing the window. I was very disappointed in the lack of cleaning in this house. Unfortunately I don't think we will be staying with the same company next year. The pictures definitely didn't show what the house really looked like The bathrooms were disgusting, there's what appears to be black mold in the washer and in the air vents. There were inches of dust on the fan blades and also a " flying ant" problem. There were dozens dead in the corner by the washer. Piles of sand left on certain parts of the carpet.

(Why they waited until after check in is a mystery ). They stated (after I pressed what we were to do) that Maybe fixed in couple days. But then No repair and no communication regarding if it would ever be fixed. It wasn't. Of course none of the occupants of this big home had enuf clothes. Time spent at Laundromat instead the beach. Also evening of check-in no linens. No one at rental office answering phones including linen service. Spent the night at Walmart spending $$ on linens. Of yeah - stopped up toilet too (but that was fixed next day). All week I heard "you'll be compensated " - per KC of SW. But once u check out nothing! Ghosted. Update: SW refunded the money spent w linens plus little for "the inconvenience " a week after check out. No notification but found in review of bank account. Warning- this house rented via VRBO so read carefully. VRBO will list Stan White as management company. I've reported to VRBO. Also Placing my review In VRBO house review comments. I wish I had seen all these reviews in Yelp before I reserved! At the time I selected this home there were no reviews in VRBO.

    Upon arriving at our rental house, Colonel Bob's Cottage in Nags Head, on 6/3/18 around 10pm, we…read moresaw that the listing was misleading about a half bathroom and washer and dryer. These can only be accessed from outside the house which is inconvenient, and not how it seems on any of the provided information online. We even spoke with someone in the office about this when booking, and there was never any mention of this. When I called the company I was told that no one in their office would say something like that, and that I didn't know what I was talking about. Later that week we also discovered that the front load washing machine was so filled with mold that we had to take paper towels and gloves and dig out handfuls of mold and hair and who knows what else, to even attempt to wash our clothing that week. We came home with several articles of clothing ruined from stains from that washer. Upon further entry into the house, on the night we were checking in, we discovered several roaches. We arrived late, and I didn't even want to "check in". We searched for a hour or more for a 24hr emergency number to contact Cola Vaughan, to no avail. They make no effort to be available to you in case of emergency. I called the next morning and requested that they do something about this and was told that I don't know what I'm talking about. That there was absolutely not a roach infestation. That I am just seeing palmetto bugs not roaches. What they don't know is my family owns a pest control company, and has for over 30 years. The bugs that I killed several places in the house (including the cabinets with all of the dishes, the living room, and the bedrooms), are absolutely roaches. They are in fact American Roaches specifically. They are frequently called Palmetto bugs, but it is nothing more than a nickname for an American Cockroach. I asked to be transferred to another available rental property, and they refused to do that, even though the rental agreement states: "Agent agrees to provide the Premises in a fit and habitable condition. If at the time Tenant is to begin occupancy of the Premises, Agent cannot provide the Premises in a fit and habitable condition of substitute a reasonably comparable property in such condition, Agent shall refund to Tenant all payments made by Tenant." Fit and habitable does not mean living with roaches for a week, besides all the other problems we encountered. We have stayed in many other rental homes in OBX from Corolla, to Nags Head, and many places in between, and never had any trouble with roaches in any of our other rentals. So it isn't just this area as I was told. It's poor pest control. I asked for placement in a comparable house and was refused, even though it was available, because I searched their website and found a few that were still available for the week. I asked to cancel, or for a refund, and was refused. Basically, they got their money, so who cares what I deal with. They certainly didn't wan't to take a loss to correct their poor property. I was only offered, that they could send a pest control company out to spray the outside of the house. Which will do nothing for the roaches inside of the house. Roaches quickly multiply, and could easily be transported back to our home with us in our luggage, continuing this problem long after vacation. It is completely reasonable to ask to be placed in a home that isn't housing roaches. I was told that they were only inside because I left the door open, which is untrue. However, even with the door closed there is a large gap at the bottom of the door frame so anything could get in. The door frame on the front door has other damage near the lock. The frame is busted and pulling away near the lock. The third bedroom had a futon that we could not even use. Upon trying to sit down on it we discovered that it was broken and all of the screws on one side of it were stripped. It is literally held up between the end tables and the metal piece was laying on the floor. We could not sit on it, much less sleep on it. We had to get an air mattress and squeeze it into that room so we could sleep for the week. I wanted to be removed from this house and placed into one that didn't have these problems, or I want a refund so I can take my business elsewhere to a reputable, respectable company that actually values customers. I was treated poorly, and as if I was unintelligent. That is unacceptable behavior from any company.

Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing rental experiences our family has had and we have vacationed in the OBX staying in multiple rentals for over 30 years. This trip was especially meaningful because we were in the Outer Banks to honor my late Dad by spreading his ashes at the beach. We intentionally chose one of the more expensive homes available because we wanted everything to be special for our family. Instead, we arrived to a property with numerous maintenance and cleanliness issues, including dirty floors, dusty air vents, stained carpet, damaged furniture, a clogged shower drain, a dripping faucet, a toilet that didn't flush properly, a broken pool saltwater system despite being advertised as saltwater, non-functioning grill burners, outdated or non-working TVs, unsafe deck nails, a detached third-floor window screen, and several other maintenance concerns. While maintenance did repair the hot tub jets after a few days, many other issues remained unresolved throughout our stay. What has been even more disappointing is how our concerns have been handled after checkout. I sent a detailed email documenting everything and was told it had been forwarded to the property owners, but no one could provide a timeline for a response. After weeks of following up, I have still received no resolution. I also attempted to speak with management several times. One employee identified themselves as a manager, was dismissive and rude throughout the conversation, and ultimately claimed they were transferring my call but instead disconnected it. I understand that maintenance issues can happen in any rental home. What matters is how a company responds when they're brought to its attention. Unfortunately, I have found the communication, customer service, and follow-up to be just as disappointing as the condition of the property itself. For the premium price we paid, we expected a well-maintained home and responsive customer service. We received neither. I hope this review encourages the company to improve both the condition of its properties and the way it treats customers when legitimate concerns are raised.

My husband was still do some work there. And we brought our dog. So having people in and out for long period was not going to happen. Too much stress.

Specifically, in discussions about a rental, we had reached an agreement on price and began to initiate payment, at which time the company tried to raise the rental rate with a 'mandatory' 10% ($75) 'booking fee' and another $45 fee for some sort of non-refundable rental insurance; neither was mentioned in the fees section of the VRBO site, and so both seemed completely arbitrary and out-of-the-blue. The VRBO sites for houses managed by this company specifically state rental rates per week, and below the quoted rates is written the words "Notes: Prices start at the following rates excluding taxes and *optional* extras." I expected taxes, of course, but the extra $120 charges were out of the blue and neither was optional nor negotiable, as per discussions with the company... so, a bad case of false advertising. If a company is going to say they'll charge one amount for a service then try to charge another amount, well that's dishonest and deserves to be reviewed accordingly. I suggest taking your business to other rental agencies in the area that don't try to weasel extra money out of the renter. It's worth mentioning, also, that this negative experience blew up a week-long rental of a house that will now likely sit vacant for this week, since it was a short-notice rental of a vacant property (move-in would have been today). So, they blew it for their client as well as the prospective renter (me).

The listing was inaccurate, and several amenities that were clearly advertised were either broken or not available at all. Some bathrooms didn't even have basic supplies like toilet paper. One shower had such low water pressure it was completely unusable. The dishwasher was broken for the entire week, which meant hand-washing dishes for 14 guests, three meals a day, for seven days. That is not what anyone signs up for on vacation. The house itself was not properly cleaned. There were cobwebs on multiple surfaces, visible rust throughout, and an overall neglected feel. For the price we paid, the condition of the property was unacceptable. Customer service was effectively nonexistent. We reported the issues, and nothing meaningful was done to resolve them during our stay. There was no urgency, no accountability, and no effort to make things right. Also worth noting: reviews appear to be filtered, showing only glowing feedback. Based on our experience, you are not getting the full picture when you read the listings. For the amount of money these homes command, expectations should be much higher. We would strongly recommend considering another rental company. You've been warned.
