We have been vacationing on the Outer Banks for 50 years and have been renting through Beach Realty the past three -- we will not deal with any other company . . . This year we stayed at Beach Road Cottage in KDH. Five stars, as well. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. The property was steps to the beach and close to restaurants (walk to Goombays Grille & Raw Bar) and attractions. As noted above, a couple of issues were taken care of quickly and professionally. We will book again . . .

As soon as I arrived and saw how bad of shape it was in I contacted them and sent pictures and was in contact the whole time of staying there. It was an embarrassment for me when my guest arrived. Beach reality didn't do ANYTHING or compensate anything. All they did was tell me that they would not delist this property after the first of the year. I would NEVER recommend or use this company again, due to them, not standing by their customers. Absolutely horrible company!! And you would think by their response to my review that they would have compensated me with something. They knew the property was at a lower standard than they were charging for yet they still will not take care of their client. Complete trash will never recommend this place ever.

I wanted to share our recent experience in hopes that it helps other families, especially those…read moretraveling with pets, make informed decisions when booking an Outer Banks vacation rental. My family has vacationed in Duck for many years, and we truly love the Outer Banks. This year we wanted to stay closer to town, so we booked Absolute Relaxation (131 Cook Dr., Bayberry Bluff) through Southern Shores Realty. We specifically chose a pet-friendly home because we were bringing our 7-month-old puppy. The listing states that the pet fee helps cover deep cleaning and flea/tick treatment because the home is also rented to guests without pets. When we arrived on June 14, we immediately noticed several cleanliness issues, including excessive white pet hair throughout the home, clumps of hair on the floors and carpeting, sandspurs embedded in the carpet, dirty dishes left in the dishwasher, coffee grounds still in the coffee maker, and even dog hair stuck to a fork in the utensil drawer. We also discovered that the dishwasher was not functioning properly, the grill was out of propane, and there were additional maintenance concerns throughout the property. We didn't immediately report these issues because, like many families on vacation, we just wanted to make the best of our trip. We cleaned up the pet hair ourselves, removed the sandspurs we found, wiped down dirty surfaces, and adapted to the maintenance issues rather than spending our vacation waiting on repairs. Two days into our stay, our dog went under a bed in one of the downstairs bedrooms and came out chewing on an unknown substance. Within minutes, he became extremely lethargic, unsteady on his feet, and began exhibiting concerning neurological symptoms. We immediately drove approximately 40 minutes to an emergency veterinary hospital, where he was evaluated and treated for suspected THC intoxication based on his clinical presentation. Thankfully, he recovered, but it was one of the most frightening experiences we've had as pet owners. We incurred an emergency veterinary bill of approximately $380 and spent the next two days providing around-the-clock care instead of enjoying our vacation. After returning home, we submitted a detailed Guest Resolution Request with photographs, veterinary records, invoices, and a complete timeline of events. Southern Shores Realty ultimately offered a $230 credit for cleaning and inconvenience but declined to reimburse the emergency veterinary expenses. We understand that others may have had positive experiences, and we recognize that unexpected issues can happen in any rental property. What has been most disappointing to us has been the handling of our concerns afterward. We never expected perfection, but we did hope for greater acknowledgment of the seriousness of our dog's medical emergency and the impact it had on our family's vacation. We are sharing our experience so that other travelers, particularly those bringing pets, can make informed decisions and thoroughly inspect their rental upon arrival. We also encourage guests to document any concerns immediately, even if you hope to simply move past them and enjoy your vacation, as we did. The Outer Banks remains one of our favorite places to vacation, and we look forward to returning. We simply hope that by sharing our experience, it may help both future guests and property managers alike.

We ended up paying an extra 1k to rent it. When we arrived there was a tip envelope on the counter saying the home had been cleaned and inspected but clearly it wasn't because there was items from the prior tenants stored all around the home and it was dirty. Extra beds on the patio, baby gates out front by the outside shower, someone's underwear, socks and bra in the drawers, moldy shower curtain, dirt under the beds. We called housekeeping number on the envelope but there was no answer. When we finally did get ahold of someone they came and picked up the items outside. For more than 5k for the week I expected better not worse. We loved this place last year when we stayed here but we are already planning our next home and going back to Vacasa.

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.
