The listing says the house is handicap ready, but there is no way for a handicap person to ever get to the beach!!! The cabinets were falling apart. The house smelled musty and when questioned, I was told it was cleaned to EPA standards. How could this be if the AC vent cover is caked with dust and the filter on the vacuum is black and chewed up? The house had many broken items and the grill was unfit to use. And don't get me started on the roaches!!! Yes ROACHES! I had to wait 3 days before pest control came to spray the entire house, which was basically for show. Mold and mildew around exterior doors on the second level From water damage. The list could go on an and on. My vacation was spent contacting the company repeatedly, documenting these issues and not relaxing. When asked for a partial refund, I was given the run around and finally offered $200. This is not even 2% of the money I paid! Stay away from this property and company!!!

We recently rented a vacation home for 1 week from Kitty Hawk Beach Realty called the Corolla Cool…read more It was very clean and updated. Loved having the pool and hot tub in the back yard with the privacy fence. We did have trouble getting the showers to work as we had never encountered this type before but we called and the owner called us back and walked us through it. We felt super silly but glad to have some help. The house is only a 5 or so minute walk to the beach which was great! They also provide some beach chairs and sand toys to take to the beach and bring back. We did bring our own pool floats though. The only think is I wish the pool were bigger.

We sat and sweated in 90 degree temperatures. The water purification system stopped working on Tuesday, no drinkable water and no ice could be made. The wash machine backed up in one of the shower stalls. One of the bedroom ceilings leaked when it rained. My son stepped on a rusty nail at the pool from the deteriorating wood shed. We contacted the company as soon as the issues arose and the only response was a thank you, we'll put in a service ticket. A gentleman did stop by Friday to ask about the leak. He asked if that is all we needed so I caught him up on all the issues and he was shocked. He said the ac repairman had been in the area all week and his buddy took care of the water system and he was sure they weren't aware of the problems. I have the texts to the company on my phone. I assume he said something to the company so they text and said they weren't aware of the issues, so I took a screenshot of the texts and sent them.... no response! No apology! No offer to make things right! No customer service! Please stay away from this company and give your hard earned money to a company that appreciates your business!

We stayed in the home called Tequila Sunrise (WHL-805) the week of Labor Day for just shy of $9K…read moreafter the fees. We were so very excited to stay at this home again after being married here in 2007 and staying two times previously. Unfortunately, within a couple hours of arrival, the house caught on fire. One outlet went up in flames, another burned inside the wall. We called the fire department and also the rental agency. Thankfully the fire department was easier to get a hold of - I kept getting punted to voicemail for Sun until about an hour later they closed and I was able to go through to their emergency line. LONG story short: Sun did send out an electrician that night but were kind of wishy washy if they were going to. Thank god they did bc the electrician found another outlet that had obviously been on fire upstairs. The downstairs outlet went up in flames when (unknown to those of us outside cleaning/watching kids in pool) one of the people staying there noticed power was out in half the house and flipped the breaker that was tripped which is when the fire started. What's scary is that the breaker didn't trip again - we had to manually turn it back off. It never tripped for the one upstairs. Needless to say, we all slept with one eye open that week after this. Over the week there were numerous safety concerns: a board not nailed down on the stairs to the beach that flipped up and nearly dumped someone about 10' down to the beach, quite a few wasp nests, a defective smoke alarm that didn't stop chirping despite batteries being changed, tripped GFI outlets outside that weren't replaced/addressed, loose outlets that caused the lights to flicker/surge, switches that were glitchy due to water leaking on them from the front window... it's so much that I literally forget everything that was wrong. Then there was just the annoying/cosmetic things like fire ants in the dining room, a toilet turned off, two water bubbles in the ceiling causing paint to flake off in one room, and the house was definitely not cleaned before we arrived (the kitchen was sticky everywhere, towels left in the washer, floor sandy and dirty etc)., most of the rooms didn't have screens for the windows and some of the rooms were missing screens for the sliders, a few of the sliders were impossible to open... again, I could go on but you get the gist. Sun did send maintenance out to fix most of the problems but it did impact our trip constantly having to make literal lists of all the issues and be waiting at the house to walk them through what was wrong because often they didn't have an idea of what the problem of the day was. This was beyond the normal "tired" home at the end of the season or high expectations not being met. I've been coming to the OBX for 40 years and this home in particular for 20. I know that oceanfront homes especially get worn quickly, that at the end of the season things are a bit beat up and that sometimes stuff is sticky. In my 40 years of renting I've NEVER had to call a realty company for anything - this is not how I normally roll. If the house is dirty, I clean it. If things are missing I can live without, I ignore it. You can't ignore safety issues like this, especially when people recently died in a fire in the OBX. We were told we couldn't be moved which we understood due to the lack of inventory but I think it's fair that we get some partial refund but there's been silence on that end. If you are looking to rent Tequila Sunrise in Whalehead Beach, I would ask for current photos before making the booking. It pains me to warn others but what we encountered was beyond cosmetic issues.

UPDATE: I tried to handle this matter privately but was unsuccessful. Sun Realty has since removed my negative feedback shared on their website listing and on Facebook. They should really be investigated by the Better Business Bureau or whatever association oversees realtors in North Carolina for their blatant inaccuracies in their online listings and negligence on property maintenance. At first, everything appeared to be great, but COCKROACHES and other serious issues became apparent: - Ants were everywhere. On the counters, in the beds, on the floors. We were picking them off of us the entire week and we had to throw out much of our food despite how tightly we tied the bags. - COCKROACHES. And no...they weren't water bugs. We saw at least 1 cockroach on each floor. This is completely unacceptable. - Broken light on the 2nd level deck and there were other various lights that did not turn on. - Broken chairs were present on the deck, in the kitchen, and in the living room. - Disgusting mold on the curtain in the top floor shower. - The 1st floor toilet did not work at all. It flushed...but doesn't drained. We spent plenty of time trying to plunge it to no avail. - Kitchen corner cabinet hinge is broken. Other cabinets at paint chipping off. - Not sure what was going on with the "deck" around the pool. There was a layer of fabric over what appears to be green putting green material that a couple people almost tripped over. - Hammock chain was almost rusted through. For the money we paid for the house...we expected more. At the very least, we expected not to have to consistently kill ANTS AND COCKROACHES. Even worse...Sun Realty was dismissive after I called on our second day there and never sent anyone out to fix the situation. After emailing the owner and Sun Realty there was not even an apology offered.

Highly disappointed!!! Arrived late (8:45 PM) on 7/13. We were immediately greeted by a strong…read moremildew smell, dirty dishes in the cabinet, dead ants (as well as eight ant traps in the kitchen and countertops), a ceiling light dangling near the kitchen, and bed linens that reeked of mildew. Also, the pool skimmer was torn, making it difficult to skim the pool every morning. All of the bed linens had to be washed to eliminate the mildew odor. We could not contact Paramount as the office was closed for the day. The following morning (7/14), we called Paramount and left a message. Michelle and Channing arrived shortly after that. We immediately asked if we could be moved to another property and Michelle said she would see what she could do and get back to us. Seven hours later we were informed that nothing was available. Channing repaired the dangling light fixture, sprayed air freshener, and thoroughly cleaned the register covers. We informed him that the refrigerator was not cold so he adjusted the setting and said to be patient. He also set both thermostats to 68 degrees - saying this would help with the smell. Half the day was lost addressing these issues. The next day, 7/15, the refrigerator was still warm. Channing came out and determined that the fridge was indeed bad. The owner had to be informed so a new refrigerator could be purchased and delivered. In the meantime, we were promised a "loaner" fridge would be delivered until the new one arrived. This meant transferring all perishable food to our coolers. Extremely inconvenient! While we at the beach, the loaner fridge was delivered and set up outside, in front of the garage! Without our knowledge or consent, our food was transferred to the fridge. I guess we were expected to go outside when we needed something from the fridge. Later in the afternoon, the fridge was moved to the lower-level game room area - again, up and down the steps to retrieve items from the fridge. Tuesday, 7/16, pest control and two housekeeping women came and performed their tasks that should have been done PRIOR to our arrival. 7/17 was somewhat uneventful although the smell had returned and at 68 degrees we were freezing, especially in the lower level of the house. We had to purchase blankets because it was so cold at night and the supplied thin quilts did not provide adequate warmth. Still no new refrigerator in the kitchen. With the thermostats set so low to "reduce the smell", the kids got sick, and one of the adults' asthma flared up. Not to mention that the stress my wife experienced caused her autoimmune disease to flare up. On Thursday, 7/18, we were informed that the new refrigerator would be delivered. Delivery men and Paramount maintenance guy removed the old refrigerator and replaced it with the new one. While this was being done, we were reiterating all the issues we had experienced to the maintenance guy. His sarcastic response was "what would you like me to do about it?" My wife and I decided to return home the next day (7/19); we'd had enough. The unfortunate truth is that had someone taken the extra hour or two to thoroughly inspect the home, many of the issues would have been detected and corrected. Afterall, we were informed the house was ready at 2:00 PM - two hours before the regular check-in time. Shame on you. To make matters worse, no mention of compensation was offered from either Paramount Destinations or the owner. I texted Michelle, asking for contact information to register our concerns but she never responded. I also called the office when we arrived home and was told there was really no one I could talk to; just complete this survey. Your website touts Paramount Destinations as "Luxury Vacation Rentals at The Currituck Club" - this is laughable. This was our fourth visit to a Paramount Destinations in the Currituck Club and sadly, will likely be the last.

A Stark Contrast to Their Own Promises !!…read more My parents rented this property for our long-awaited family reunion -- 14 of us, including relatives who flew in from Hawaii. We were excited to spend the week together in what looked like a beautiful and spacious home, but the experience was unfortunately full of red flags -- from safety concerns to management's dismissive response. Serious Safety & Cleanliness Concerns: * The deck had multiple exposed nails, which caused injuries -- including a cut foot. * The pool gate slammed shut with extreme force. It actually struck my young niece, leaving her hurt and shaken. * The outdoor bathroom was dirty and unusable from the start. * There were visible roaches in the home when we arrived. * The outdoor shower, which was advertised as a feature, was filthy and completely unusable. Disruptive Conditions That Weren't Disclosed: * Construction was happening on both sides of the house all week, bringing loud noise and disruption every day. * We were never informed about this in advance, even though the reservation had been made months prior. Unacceptable Response from Management: When we shared these issues, the president of the management company responded with zero accountability. Rather than showing any concern, he told us we should've reported safety hazards like protruding nails during our vacation. After we left, their technician confirmed that eight nails needed to be repaired -- validating our concerns. Instead of offering any resolution, the president accused us of "extortion tactics," which was insulting and unprofessional considering the legitimate issues we raised. A Stark Contrast to Their Own Promises: What made it even more frustrating is how the company promotes itself. Their website claims: "Experience the Shoreline Difference and see why we are rated #1 in Guest Satisfaction! As our guest, you are our family and will be treated to the best in hospitality!" That was far from our experience. We were treated more like an inconvenience than "family," and safety clearly wasn't a priority. Bottom Line: For over $6,500, we expected a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. What we got was a property with hazards, misrepresented amenities, and a management team unwilling to take responsibility. I would not recommend this rental -- or this company -- to anyone looking for a reliable or professional vacation experience.
