We normally stay in the Colington area, but decided to upgrade to the beach side. Obviously, this was a mistake. The house appears to be quite old and well used, but the owners certainly have not kept it up and in good shape. The cleanliness was "Eh" at best (but again, Seaside gave us a refund and apology that the house was not clean). The biggest issue we ran into was that on Thu (we rented Sat to Sat) was that the roof started to leak onto the 2nd floor. My grandson slipped on the water. Thank goodness, he was ok, otherwise the owners and I would be having a MUCH different conversation. On Friday, water was coming into the window frame in my stepson's room. We reported both instances immediately, but got no response from Seaside (I even called the after hours emergency number, and was promised 3 times that someone would call me back. Crickets). The kitchen was VERY outdated, they had an electric stove that is disparately in need of replacement. The pots and pans were all out of order and old. Obviously, the owners do not care one bit about this house and the people who stay there. There is a porch that overlooks Virginia Dare and you can see the ocean from there, but the traffic is so heavy, it's quite difficult to hold a decent conversation. In addition, the wood is old and we made the grandkids wear shoes, because we were afraid they would get splinters. All of these events did put a damper and reduced our enjoy ability of our vacation. I'm very shocked that the owners are so callus in the upkeep of the house, and we certainly will not stay there again.

The room is very pleasant a whole kitchen with 1 bedroom 1 bathroom 1 living room and a marvelous pool side view. You have a tv this year we watched the FIFA World Cup. You also get a free beach access you have to bring your own chair. Or you have to pay for the beach. The ocean had no jelly fish. And the waves were massive I got knocked down twice. I will really recommend this place for people in the east.

The location is unbeatable--some of the best waterfront property in the Kill Devil Hills area…read more Being right on the beach is the highlight and truly makes the stay worthwhile. That said, the property is showing its age. The units still have outdated Dish TV service, and the curtains are faded and dated. Most of the furniture is cloth and overdue for replacement. The area rugs are also a concern--they seem a little smelly and retain sand, which makes them feel less than clean. Maintenance and management have noticeably declined. It's frustratingly hard to get in touch with someone when you need assistance. In short, you're paying for the location and ocean access, but the interiors and upkeep need serious attention. With some investment in updates and better guest service, it could return to being a top-tier beach property.

It's Leslie the GM of First Flight claiming to be Jeff in the messages. I called and spoke to her and was not rude or disrespectful towards her and she kept interrupting me. She needs a lesson in customer service and her company shoukg not be pretending on Airbnb that she is the owner.

We experienced two issues at our cottage (bugs and pool water level) and they were taken care of posthaste with a smile. These people are the best! 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 . . .

I wrote a review for Beach Realty, per their request, on Aug. 5, 2026. They have never responded…read more Clearly they don't care. So decided I'd try to help someone else and tell them AVOID BEACH REALTY LIKE THE PLAGUE!! We rented American Dream. More like American Nightmare! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!! In 2024, 2 of the 3 heat pumps were completely out when we arrived for our week. 90+ degree weather. Management installed temporary window units which were hideous. Several other maintenance items were a disaster. Management promised to repair and offered a discount for 2025. We went back. Second year was much improved. We like the house - lots of room for the family to spread out. Location is super convenient. Kids love the pool. So we decided to go back for summer 2026. When first we reached the 3rd floor it was very hot - the AC was out!!!! I called and it was repaired by 8 pm, but really! AGAIN!!?? Don't they pay any attention to the property and what's working or not?? On Monday morning when we opened the dishwasher, we discovered the bottom was full of gross water. It was Tues afternoon before they got around to sending a maintenance guy. I did not pay the amount of rent they charge for a week to enjoy washing dishes!! One item I have brought to management's attention twice (now it's three times) is the horrible stove. The oven only works halfway. The eyes are so marginal it's ridiculous. My daughter was trying to cook pancakes this year. She set the temp on 4. It got WAY too hot so she cut it to 2. It got HOTTER! Put it on 6 and it cooled off. (The knobs were on correctly.) Surface is a mess. Oven takes more than twice recommended cook time. The large lower drawer does not work and is rusty. Rust inside the microwave as well which is old and not dependable. Again, adjust cooking time by double. The door to the freezer leaks from the ice maker. Every time you open it, water is spread across the floor. Have reported this in prior years. It's actually starting to corrode now. Bins in the refrig are cracked. Several of the lights in the house simply do not work such as 3rd level master bath area, 2nd level closet and most of the exhaust fans make terrible noise and are very marginal. Lamps are missing lightbulbs or have bulbs that do not work. Several of the AC vents are moldy, filthy and rusty. The top glass in the door to the 3rd level deck is gone so you have to keep the door closed. Can't look out to enjoy the ocean and the door itself has such a strong spring on it you risk the health of your heels and toes navigating in and out! Too dangerous to allow the kids to do it on their own. There is a LARGE timber on the back left corner of the pool stockade fence which is broken and appears about ready to collapse completely. Pieces of the broken timber are sticking out and could be the source of a bad injury not to mention disaster for the pool deck with the release of the bank it's holding back. The outside shower under the deck is unusable due to a deep pile of sand which has washed in from the outside. There is some sort of electric box hanging from the north side of the house. I left/sent 3 messages asking for the property manager to contact me and received no response. Hence this review. I repeat - we like the house. LOTS of room and nice layout. Area is great for family excursions. Right on the beach with beautiful views. This year we were there during the hatching of a couple of sea turtle nests which was exciting and educational for all. Bless those turtle volunteers! American Dream...not so much. If Beach Realty is going to charge premium rates, they need to actually inspect and repair the property. I know lots of people come and go and it's difficult to keep on top of every detail. But some of these problems have existed for years. Others are safety concerns. Others are essential to the comfort and well-being of their "guests." Please pay better attention, Beach Realty. I gave it a 3 because of the features and location. But it's barely adequate. Pictures available upon request.  BUT because of their complete lack of response to my calls while in Nags Head and the review (above) I sent them, it's reduced to a 1.

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.

Plus there's a dining area and living room. Nice full balcony outback with a great view of the ocean. Wonderful breeze out the front but none of the windows worked to let the air in from the front. Only one of the elevators work. Some of the lights don't work. The living room TV has gone bad and often displays the programming as a negative image or mostly green in color. Side of the refrigerator has good amount of rust. The icemaker didn't work. The showers had decent water pressure and they have nice soap products. The food at the restaurant was good. The crabcake was good portion and tasty and the vegetable medley had excellent flavor. I was overcharged when I arrived for what my confirmation said. Hopefully that has been straightened out with my bill when I check out. There was an issue with the elevator the one morning as the employee said it wasn't working. This other lady who looked like a manager, was asking other guests about the elevator. When I told her that is your employee with the supply cart and he's been standing at the elevator and it's not working. She's responded to me saying "I don't know him. I don't know what's going on. I don't know about another elevator. I'm new here. This is my first day." Really? You start your first day on Easter Sunday and you had no training? There is another elevator, but apparently that's been out of order for many months. Thankfully, the employee with the supply cart was able to get the elevator back working quickly Lots of available parking in the open lot We consider staying again, but likely will try another place

Of course the ice machine is out of order. I was awakened to construction men right outside my balcony repairing the patio of the restaurant. There are signs directing you to the elevator and then you get there it says staff only. The best part was the bistro, but even then the construction men were right on the other side of the wall from my table tearing apart the outside wall. I paid nearly double for a room "on a higher level" and got the second floor out of five. Just another typical tourist trap.

It took 3 calls to get the owner to allow a lower temperature at night and even then if you touched the thermostat to raise it even a degree it locked you out.

They stayed in touch via text and email, letting us know when the plumber was scheduled to come. Super responsive. Half way through our 3 week stay, they gave us the option of getting fresh linens delivered, which was super convenient. Someone maintained the hot tub on a regular basis without being intrusive. This company gave us the feeling that they had our back if anything went awry. We've rented beach houses (VA beach) for many years. The beach environment is very harsh. Rental homes can be in wildly different conditions depending (I think) on the owners and not the rental company. Sometimes a house is old and fraying around the edges, sometimes updated and sparkling. Sometimes renters leave the place a wreck and the cleaners barely have time to put it back in order. If an updated, newer place is important to you, let the rental company guide you to the right homes. P.S. Our house was spanking clean and in excellent condition. I believe the owners take pride in their home, which is well managed by Outer Banks Blue. Great house + great company = great vacation.
