We stayed at the property Salt & Light unit 526-A the week of July 4th 2026. The house has a great…read morelocation and is directly across from a public beach access. Plenty of room for extended family. A few opportunities exist however: most of the doors are not lockable for the bedrooms, the outdoor shower is only lockable from the outside, the mattresses for both king size beds need to be replaced ( very uncomfortable and a must for the owner), and the pool requires attention with respect to a slow leak that the pool maintenance worker mentioned to us on Monday ( two days after check-in) which is also a must to fix.

After renting the same house for 20 years (and 5 more years at another house) through Sun Realty,…read morethey have booked our house out from underneath us for next year, while we are still here in it on vacation. It has always been a policy that the current renter has first option to book for next year. This policy I believe is pretty standard throughout all rental companies, but Sun Realty! We have been informed that it is now first come first serve and we need to change our weeks. No, we had to change realtors. We're charged a cleaning fee (WHY?), and for what! Every year I need to wash EVERYTHING in the kitchen before we can use anything. Things were so greasy that they almost fell out of your hands. We have a king size matress pad on a queen size bed. At least we had one. Have arrived to no matress pads or wrong size. No shower curtain, vaccuum cleaner that had a broken belt, so you know that nothing was cleaned. Had a toilet that wouldn't flush, and the list goes on and on over the years and nothing has improved. If anything, it's worse!!! If I could rate Sun a -10 I would! They are a terrible company to deal with and they don't care at all about their guests! All they want is the money! NEVER USE THEM AND I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!!!! WISH THE OWNERS COULD SEE THIS AND KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO THEIR GUESTS!

Cameron Griggs is excellent in all areas. Unfortunately, we did not do our research when we…read moreinitially listed the property. After that listing expired, we researched other real estate companies in the area as we were determined to make a better choice. We began by calling Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty, and luckily Cameron answered our call that day. She had all the right answers as she displayed a wealth of knowledge coupled with warmth, energy, and professionalism. As the phone call was concluding, I knew that it was not necessary to call any of the other companies. We had found the perfect realtor in Cameron! Beginning with that first phone call, Cameron exceeded our expectations in all areas. We live several hours from the property and actually, we never met Cameron in person, but with her warm personality, she made us feel like we had known her for years. She took care of everything down to the smallest detail. We never had to worry or wonder about anything, and she actually visited the property to check on things for us. She handled all aspects from listing to closing and all variables in between. Cameron's communication is definitely a strength as she kept us informed through emails, text messages, and phone calls. We highly recommend Cameron, and she certainly exemplifies all qualities of a first-class realtor who gets results!

I've never been told i only get 2 rolls of TP (and not full ones at that) for 6 guests; 1 dishwasher pod for 4 days; charged for pillow cases (what's the point of the extra pillows??).

From the moment we arrived, it was clear the property had not been properly prepared for incoming…read moreguests. Decorations from a previous party were still present, there was hair and dust throughout the home, a comforter was stained and greasy enough that we felt compelled to wash it ourselves, and even underwear from a previous guest was left in one of the bedrooms. A drawer in the bunk room was broken, and a dirty used towel was later discovered in one of the beds as well. As additional family members arrived, we discovered even more serious issues. Beds contained dirty sheets with hair in them, some linens had clearly not been changed, and the twin beds were missing mattress pads altogether. The condition of the lower-level bedroom was particularly concerning. The room was musty and appeared infested with spiders, making it unsuitable for use. As a result, my sister and her adult special-needs son slept on the couch for the entire week rather than use the room. We expect spiders in North Carolina, but this was to an unusual degree. The rest of us couldn't get up and use the living room or kitchen while they slept there. Just unacceptable and really frustrating. I was also extremely upset that after I specifically declined housekeeping, members of the cleaning crew came to the property anyway. This occurred while my six-month-old niece was napping. Having people come to the home after being told not to do so was unacceptable especially after we had cleaned the home. You can't make it right by inconveniencing us even more. The ship had sailed on cleaning and preparing the home for us.. we were already there and did not want to be interrupted by cleaning that should have already been done. The problems extended beyond cleanliness. My mother chose not to sleep in one of the downstairs rooms due to spiders, and neighboring properties hosted loud parties that continued late into the night. Had we known this was a senior-week environment, that information would have been helpful when selecting a rental property. When I spoke to someone at your office, they said they do not allow parties. Your process is not working, because there was a party house the week prior. The pool guy expressed how grateful he was that we were not like the tenants from the week before. Instead of focusing on time together, we spent much of the week dealing with cleanliness issues, sleeping-arrangement problems, maintenance concerns, and repeated communications about conditions that should have been addressed before our arrival. The property never reached the standard we expected when booking through a professional rental management company. The home was not represented by its condition, and the overall experience fell far short of reasonable expectations. See attached pics. There are many more... UPDATE: They never discussed a refund... they just sent us back the cleaning fee of $384 and ghosted us. They think that makes it all better. We had one unusable room and guests who had to sleep in the living room/common area and the place was a pigsty. We have rented in OBX before... use any other rental company! We've been going to OBX for years and this is not normal service. Brindley Beach is excellent.. Twiddy... just steer clear of Village Realty. And if VR manages your home to rent out, you may want to consider switching. They do not treat your tenants well.
