If I could give 0 stars I would. We are in the middle of our horror show with the unit we rented from McClure Realty. It started with not being able to enter the property because the door lock was damaged and now in day 2 of our stay the one tub shower in the unit does not function. So no one can take a shower. I can't wait to see what else Will brake or not function in out remaining 4 days here. We have stayed at a place at the Beach 3 times before and had a wonderful time but it was always managed by the owners not McClure. They are horrible property managers and we will never stay in one of their units again. read more

I have nothing to say bad about McClure Realty Vacations itself. The staff is excellent. My concern is with one of their properties: 20 Leland St. When we arrived on Saturday the house was not cleaned very well. There was no picture of the front entry stairs in the listing. The stairway was curved which made it hard for people with disabilities. Our disabled person had to go up the back way to get safely into the house. Stuff found under furniture and under cushions. Inside the kitchen cabinets were dirty. Glass top on the coffee table was dirty underneath. Large window blind in master bedroom was not functional. Shower door on one tub shower was not attached at the bottom. We had to call maintenance to replace nine light bulbs and clean out sink and bathtub drains. Dishwasher quit working so we had to hand wash the dishes the last four days of our stay. When on vacation I don't expect to be doing clean up and dealing with nonfunctioning appliances. McClure'a policy is not to give refunds for mechanical break downs and I get that. The owner should provide some type of compensation for the inconvenience caused while on vacation. I ask for some compensation but the owner refused. I would think after paying over $7000 for a two week vacation home I would receive some consideration for things that were not quite right. read more

If staying in the properties make sure you read ALL descriptions, and if you don't see it, don't assume it's standard with this realty. This has by far been the most neglected pet friendly rental we've ever stayed in. Underneath there is exposed piping, and an old sewage pipe that was covered with some sand and left under the house. Shower doors are barely functional, with no handles, and door is off the tract. All rugs in the house have at least some corners chewed off, and the couches are in very poor condition from neglect of cleaning, and upkeep. The one recliner in the house is completely broken and we found an E-cigarette in it!!! Windows were cracked upon arrival , and broke with the most minimal touch, and cut one of our children. When maintenance was called they said we could put tape over it. Still waiting for it to be repaired and it's rained the last 2 days and there is a golf ball sized hole in the window. Flooring in the kitchen is pulling up around the edges, This property does NOT have a dishwasher or washer and dryer. These are things that are usually standard in other rentals, so if you're a seasoned OIB renter, prepare for this!!! Positives: Shower underneath house is great, much better than the ones in the house. Location is good to walk across the street to the beach. Overview: This is one of the most neglected pet friendly rentals i've stayed in. No pride has been taken in the care of this house, and i hope people will research this before staying here, as it really put a bit of a damper on our stay with our children, and we didn't even spend a lot of time IN the house, we had to take time out of our vacation to drive 30 minutes away to the nearest laundromat and pay $20+ to wash . The things ive highlighted are just the things that affected us the most, The Esthetics of the house aren't really all that important to us, so we are daily low maintenance renters, but this house had to be reviewed. A bit more updated house would make any vacationers trip more enjoyable and just easier and would definitely encourage repeat renters. read more

See all

I rented a house. It was oceanfront with direct access. Their was no access. Giant sandbags instead. They said they sent email and letter stating this. I received neither and they called my wife liar when she said she did not receive. They tried to move me to a house that was so filthy I would not stay in. The pictures they show on website are not the present house. They just added pictures to the one I stayed in and it is nothing like they show. Roof leaked plates etc smelled like whiskey. Still very dirty but we cleaned. Furniture was different, view was different, House smelled like it was sunk in mold. Be careful. The beach is washed away and you wont know before you arrive read more

We have rented homes in ocean isle beach for 4 years now. NEVER again from R.H. McClure Realty. Mainly due to Mike Blandino, property manager, and his rude, belligerent, and extremely unprofessional behavior. We had rented a house that had several issues such as no A/C ( hot in may at the beach), leaking ceiling, birds in our dryer to name a few. Most issues were resolved eventually, slow, but eventually. The proble was, upon our return, I receive a call from Mike Blandino telling me he is keeping our deposit for leaving a dirty house! Huh?... You have got to be kidding. We followed the check out list exactly, it was as clean as when we arrived almost. Obviously there is a discrepancy as to the check out list, but the way he talked to me... He basically called me dumb. He wouldn't let me talk, and he said our issues with the house were irrelevant. He thought we were making it up! Well Mr. Blandino, explain why 3 service men came to the house! And the pictures we took, and the phone logs we have showing we called you over 12 times with no answer. I don't write reviews, but this really fired me up. Take my money Mike, it's not even about the money, you should be ashamed, and you will be reported to Greg Gore.. The owner...Didn't think I knew you had one, you told me you were the owner! Not so dumb am I?....ahhhh the web, it's a beautiful thing. read more
