I wasn't sure what to expect regarding cleanliness and the rental property being in good condition. What a pleasant surprise, all exceeded our expectations.

Southern Shores is a 4 . . . Jus' Ducky is a zero!…read more Southern Shores, and in particular, Lori Payne did the best they could to manage and, when possible, mitigate the issues with our rental house. Some issues should have been identified by the cleaning staff before our arrival, however. I do NOT recommend Jus' Ducky (12 Ocean Blvd) as a rental property. This house is not in any condition to be rented. The owner made minor updates to two bathrooms this year, but they have significantly bigger issues with AC, insulation, deck, furniture, etc. from many years of owner neglect and lack of investment/maintenance. Several service members also made unsolicited comments that the house was in poor shape, shouldn't have been rented, thought we might be moved to another house, etc. Chelsea (Southern Shores maintenance), and the teams at R. A. Hoy and KICZ were responsive, polite, and knowledgeable. When we were several hours into a loss of all electricity with no AC and no food (we kept delaying our restaurant reservation to celebrate a 45-year wedding anniversary--eventually we ended up with all restaurants closed and we still weren't any closer to a remedy), one of the guys from Hoy invited us to come to his home to get a bite to eat and a break from the heat--we declined, but appreciated his offer--very kind). The owner refused to take ANY responsibility for the many hours/days of our vacation spent dealing with maintenance, the electric company, HVAC and related issues. Ultimately, Southern Shores stepped up and provided a small financial remedy which we greatly appreciate. Although I will never rent this house again, I will certainly rent from Southern Shores in the future!

His knowledge and experience is evident as well as the fact that he really cares about helping you find the perfect home. I wasn't looking to purchase right away yet he still gave me all of his effort without being pushy. I knew what I was looking for and he constantly sent me updates on new homes as they came on the market. Jim was honest and insightful during the entire process and I couldn't be happier with the experience or my choice in realtor!

This has to have been the worse experience out of all the homes I have purchased. Its extremely frustrating that he received what he did from the sale of the home from what very little effort he put in to the sale. The communication was absolutely terrible. Repairs needing to be done to the home he facilitated absolutely nothing to help. My experience and purchase was a free paycheck to him. I will never use him again and the friends and family whom are in the area I will direct elsewhere.

Rodney did an exceptional job on our kitchen remodel, which was far from straightforward. We had a…read morelarge soffit filled with pipes and electrical that could have limited the design, but he was able to thoughtfully rework everything into a much slimmer, cleaner look while increasing functionality. What stood out most was his problem-solving skills. He consistently looked for ways to save us money and he was flexible and professional while working through an extended timeline due to unexpected mold remediation. As with any major renovation, there were a few design details to work through, but Rodney ultimately brought our vision to life. The finished kitchen is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We're very happy with the result and would confidently recommend him to anyone taking on a complex remodel!

Rodney partnered with Quality Stone in Virginia Beach, and their service--from selection to installation--was superb. ​Rodney provided a very fair price and handled every detail, including removing the bar, relocating an outlet, replacing 3 other outlets and installing a new sink and faucet. He even suggested a beautiful backsplash tile and helped me replace a 15-year-old over-the-range microwave with a new Whirlpool at a great price. Rodney is incredibly reliable, punctual, and truly available seven days a week. I highly recommend Full Circle Kitchen and Bath and will definitely call them for out next project

They price gouge, change prices on platforms (check booking and VRBO for cheaper rates), and increase rental fees 125% for the same week a year later. They will bounce you around from different customer service agents, when you call back they will find notes "confusing" and refer you to manager's voicemails with very slow turn around time. It is less expensive to book through VRBO. I do not recommend renting through them, they work for the property owners and not the renters. You have more support and protection booking through VRBO or BOOKING.COM. Linens not included. Fees egrigious. I have never had this much runaround at any other OBX rental agency. Oh So Sandy in particular, is a TINY flat top, with a very small shower that has exposed plumbing. It does not have a dishwasher, or laundry. There is no bathtub. The backyard is fenced in, however it is full of spikey foliage which will get in the pads of your dogs feet. The grill was dirty, the outdoor shower VERY rustic and dirty. For the amount you would spend on this place, there are far nicer places in the OBX.

Here is a review of our stay at Sunday Drive, 6309 S…read more Virginia Dare Trail, Nags Head, NC from August 2 through August 9. 1. Sitting at the dining room table, the view of the ocean and skyline was cloudy and unclear. In addition to the glass being dirty there was condensation between the panes of glass. 2. One of the pickets on the upper deck was loose. We called Beach Realty and they sent someone out who nailed it down and checked the other pickets. 3. The microwave over the oven didn't work. 4. Concerning the refrigerator, everything in the back of the top three shelves froze. 5. The propane tank was empty. We went and purchased propane but the grills still didn't work properly. 6. The lighting under the kitchen cabinets didn't work. 7. Two shelves in the refrigerator door were either cracked or broken. 8. The instructions on the toaster were undecipherable. 9. The dining room table is tacky. 10. The top dishwasher rack doesn't stay in place. You must hold it in place in order to load the bottom rack. 11. The kitchen floor mats are unattractive and don't match. 12. The large canvas photograph in the main living room is woefully faded. 13. There are approximately two dozen nails on the front steps and landing that protrude and should be hammered down. 14. Some of the blinds in the top floor master bedroom were broken. 15. The kitchen trash can is flimsy and there is no space for it. Unfortunately, the floor plan is such that there is no stairway from the upper floor to the bottom level. To get to the beach you must exit through one of the two bedrooms on the middle floor, or walk the stairway to the garage, and then out to the beach. Furthermore, there is no community bathroom on the top floor. Anyone eating or relaxing on the top floor must share the bathroom with those sleeping in the upper master bedroom.
