This guy did a fantastic job of working with us, helping us articulate what we wanted, as well as what we didn't. His vast knowledge of the OBX area overall, as well as his extensive knowledge of the diverse neighborhoods in both the north and south ends of OBX was invaluable to us. He was always willing to check a property out, prepare a video, and provide detailed information on something we had an interest in pursuing. He provided objective observations about quality details, as well as things that needed work or might have hidden defects. Our house-hunting journey was lengthy (over a year!) and Steve stuck with us the entire time - we were happy to have gotten to know him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a new home.

Big fans of the OBX, we are visiting for the first of three visits this year.

We have hoped to post a review on their website but at first glance, didn't see where to do so.

Extremely disappointing experience with my reservation that included travel insurance. My booking…read morewas canceled because the owner decided to remove the property from the rental program after we had already planned and committed to the trip. This left me with very limited options during a busy rental season and scrabbling to figure out what to do. Although a replacement property (sound side) was offered, it was not remotely comparable to the original home (beach side) I reserved (8/26/25) in terms of location, features, and overall value. At that point (36 days before my arrival date), I was forced to either accept an inferior property or refund since they had no other similar option to my original reservation, which now has left me to pay significantly more for another rental with less options available as the reservation is for a peak time of the year (June 2026). The most frustrating part was that renters are expected to honor cancellation policies and commitments, but when an owner removes a property from the program, the burden and financial impact fall entirely on the guest. This created unnecessary stress, inconvenience, and additional expense for our vacation. I would strongly encourage future renters to have backup plans as this happened 36 days before my check in date.

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!

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!

I booked a home with Resort Realty from the online reviews on their site. Clearly, they only use…read morethe favorable reviews.  The pictures of the house I rented were at least 10 years old; the home was not in the same shape as in the online pictures.  I also chose this home as it had a game room with a pool table, card table, and area for our family.  It also had a movie room with a TV, surround sound, DVD player, and reclining chairs and a large sofa for family time. I thought with all of this if the weather were bad, we would still have a pool, game room, and movie room.  All we were able to use was the pool table.  There was a hole in one of the refrigerators, a cupboard door was hanging as the hinge was falling off, another cupboard was splitting at the corner.  One of the beds on the second floor had screws on the floor and the support board was on the floor with the headboard leaning towards the floor, not ideal for sleeping.  The boards on all the deck areas are very old and not treated; several nails sticking up in the boards and some areas where boards were splintering. Before booking I called about the indoor/outdoor pool being usable for the week I needed and was told it would be usable.  We arrived and both the indoor and outdoor parts of the pool were green and full of trash including a 5-gallon bucket floating in the outdoor area.  I called that day and was told it would not be usable until April 18th as it was not a heated pool.  When I asked why I had been told before booking it would be usable and that there was no information on their website about when pools open or were usable, I got a response that the person I was speaking to was sorry but nothing could be done. The game room was okay, the pool tabletop was very old, it was blue in color, and some areas were turning white, it was so used/old. The card table that was in the game room was not usable as the felt on the table was covered in mold.  There as a three-light chandelier with glass globes hanging over the pool table--not the best idea ever. One of the globes was broken and hanging from the light bulb, I removed the globe and set it on the countertop, so no one was hurt from this. The movie room was very dated, and the TV would not give us a picture, maintenance guy said we needed a whole new tv and he would put in the work order.  Did not see him again the rest of the week. We arrived on April 4th, I submitted an email on Sunday, April 5th with pictures of all the issues and received an email that maintenance had been included and a work order was put in.  The maintenance man came once; he checked all the issues took pictures and we did not see him again the rest of the time we were there.  I received a call on Tuesday April 7th from Resort Realty to inquire if the maintenance man had been out and taken care of the issues.  My response was "honestly I don't know what he did, I am on vacation and don't plan to sit around for maintenance issues." The Resort Realty staff I dealt with on the phone for booking and questions was very helpful. The representation online of the house and when access is available to home and pool was not great.  Issues should be handled before quest check-in or at the least taken care of within a day or two of reporting these issues. There is nothing online about when pools can be used, if they can only be used if heated, and that check-in is 4pm at the earliest but could be 6pm or later.  They do offer early check-in for an added fee of $150. If you don't pay, they will contact authorities to remove you if you arrive early and are waiting in the driveway.
