I stayed at The Chesapeake with my work and their friends for a week getaway…read more This house is on the 4x4 beach and requires you to deflate your tires on a 4x4 vehicle (tons of fun)! Up one arrival, you notice the jaw dropping size of this rental/wedding venue! When you enter the house, you are quickly amazed by the giant double sided bar with a shuffleboard, fooseball table, and an electronic darts game. On one side of the room, there is a bathroom with three sinks and three individual stalls. Next to that, there is a makeshift gym (bring your own equipment). On the other side of the bar, there is an aquarium that looks into the theater with wall to wall surround sound. This floor connects you to the back patio/pool area. On the second floor, there is a chef's kitchen, a smaller kitchen, ginormous dining area, two patios, and a sitting room with a fire place. The third floor is the private honeymoon suite with a patio. This house has two wings with a first and second floor. All floors have a washer and dryer (4 washers and 4 dryers in the house total). There are 24 bedrooms in all and each bedroom had a full size bath, king sized bed, and a private patio overlooking the pool. Each wing has a bunk bed room sleeping 6 in each room. The back patio has two bars, two grills, two hot tubs, PLENTY of seating and lounge chairs, a ping pong table, a gated pool (about 5ft deep), and a large shaded area to host a wedding. This house is MASSIVE and apparently popular in the Outer Banks. Many of the 4x4 tours were stopping to talk about this house. This house is just a small walk away from the beach. This house includes almost everything you need. It has clean linens, towels, pillows, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. It also has a full sized kitchen with 3 coffee makers, 4 dishwashers, tons of plates and silverware, pots/pans...it's fully stocked. All you need is food, body wash, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, and maybe extra toilet paper as there is only one roll per room (though I did give everyone the idea to take some from the rooms that weren't being used). But that's not all! Don't no need to bring ice because there are a whopping 4 ice makers in the house as well as three refrigerators and two freezers. I can go on and on about how amazing this house is but I'll let the photos do the talking. And yes, there are wild horses in the beach!! It's a wonderful house if you can afford the whopping $29k for the week. Luckily, I was here for work and got to enjoy the beauty without spending a penny.

While we were pleasantly pleased they let us check in early, we had many issues from the start. They did send someone out to address a few things right away but not everything was dealt with. Would not recommend staying here if you have pets since the grass is never cut and yard is very overgrown. Lots of snakes and ticks. We called to inform them but nobody ever came, even though we were told they would . House has serious sewerage issues. Feces came up from the drains and caused the entire floor to smell like crap. We called multiple times and someone did come out, but the guy told us the owners needs to have the sewage cleaned more often and it's never done. This happened 3 different times while we were there. I expected a call from someone , anyone, to follow up.... I even messaged a requested a call from management multiple times ... was told they would call me, but after multiple excuses over a week passed and I never received a call . I did get a text saying they'd refund us $500 which is nothing in comparison to what we paid and the disgusting issues we had to deal with .

We stayed at "Sounds Amazing" in Corolla, NC, managed by Brindley Beach Vacations, July 26-August…read more2, 2026. I'm naming the property because I wish I had found the reviews on independent sites before we booked. The home had significant cleanliness and maintenance issues upon arrival, including an ant infestation, dirty/stained furnishings, severely rusted outdoor furniture, and a pool area continually covered with pine needles and debris. The advertised tiki bar and second-floor patio area were effectively unusable for our entire stay because of the condition of the furniture and bug infestation. To Brindley Beach's credit, after repeated complaints they eventually sent management, housekeeping, pest control, upholstery cleaning, and other personnel to the house. However, most of this did not happen until the fifth day of our seven-day vacation. Their own housekeeping representative identified additional cleanliness problems beyond those we had reported, and the rusted tiki stools were ultimately removed but never replaced. After our vacation, we requested a reasonable partial refund--not a full refund. Brindley Beach refused, stating that the home remained "habitable" and citing its rental agreement. They did offer to reimburse us for pest-control and other supplies we had to purchase ourselves. What is especially frustrating is that Sounds Amazing appears to have overwhelmingly positive reviews on Brindley Beach's website. After our experience, I searched independent platforms and found significantly more critical reviews of both this property and Brindley Beach that I wish I had seen before booking. My advice: research the specific property on independent review sites before booking through Brindley Beach and don't rely solely on the reviews displayed on their website. Our vacation rental was absolutely not the experience we expected based on how this property was represented. Brindley Beach is a never again for us. We had to make a nuisance of ourselves to get their attention to come fix their poorly maintained property. I feel bad for the owner who is probably paying them good money to take care of his property.

Our experience with Twiddy Vacation Rentals in the OBX was beyond disappointing. What was…read moreadvertised as a premium beach house felt more like the Motel 6 of vacation rental companies. 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. Terrible consistent reviews on TrustPilot, Yelp and many other pages. The feeling is clearly unanimous and Twiddy clearly does not care.

We had waited around for the plumber, the appliance man, the maintenance man and the septic man. As soon as we arrived we saw the house was not clean to our standards and several of the shower curtains were moldy. The down stairs smells extremely musty and the bathroom walls have painted over mold. So we spend Saturday evening cleaning. There were two dishwashers the first one said out of order so we loaded the second one, that too was out of order. The maintenance man arrived Monday morning couldn't fix it so we waited on the appliance guy. He was able to fix it on Tuesday. On Monday morning our downstairs sinks and bath tubs started bubbling every time someone would flush. The septic was backing up. After the maintenance man came and dug up our back yard he told up the septic was full he was going to leave the lid off until the septic company could come out to pump it. He showed up on Wednesday. So we couldn't use the backyard until late Wednesday. The house is not maintained well at all. If I were the owners of this home I would switch rental companies because you guys dropped the ball. We have always used another rental agency on the island but we really liked this house so we decided to try your agency. We will continue to use our previous agency after this experience. I have attached several pictures of the property.

After that (unless stated otherwise in the home description and unit-specific terms), if you cancel 30 or more days before the first night of your reservation, you'll receive a refund of any rental payments you've made, minus the booking fee." We reserved a beach house in June 2022 for the next year June 2023. My first payment was $4226 and another payment due in 2023. I cancelled that reservation 6 weeks later. They charged me 10% of my total bill $803. That's some "booking fee" for them considering the house was only off the market 6 weeks one year in advance.
