I knew it existed but didn't know the choices. He let me know every detail and even anticipated the things I might need such as suggesting that I get them in white so that no colors would reflect on my art. He was even conscientious about letting me! He was also very clear about what the process would be, when the blind would arrive, exactly what all the charges are for etc. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Ocean Breeze Shutters & Blinds and Steve in particular.

I reached out to Mike as he was referred to me from someone who had done some work for me and I…read moretrusted his reference. Mike got back to me fairly quick and came by to see what the job was. He said that he could handle it and would get back to me with a price. 6 days later I texted him asking if he had put together a price for me. I wasn't shopping for a plumber, I was planning to use him because he was referred by someone I trusted. Mike never responded. I waited 2 weeks before deciding to post this review. Part of being a good contractor is showing up and getting back with people. If he said that he wasn't interested, or was too busy, I would of looked for someone else. Instead I lost valuable time and had to try and get another plumber. Luckily I found someone who not only is happy to the job, but returns calls. Not even a difficult job. Maybe he's a good plumber, I'll never know. This review is based on the fact that he did come to my house, and did say that he would give me a price. Therefore, I did officially use his business. It wasn't like I showed up at a restaurant with no reservations and then posted a bad review about them because they wouldn't seat me. It's more like having a reservation and being seated but never being served. You the can make your own decisions. This was my experience.

I paid $14,000 for a week at Twisted Fish K1220, a 10 bedroom ocean front house with private beach…read moreaccess. Ocean front rents for a considerable premium in OBX. Rental company failed to notify us of beach nourishment project that completely closed the beach in front of our rental for the entire week! The people renting next door said their rental company notified them ahead of time and gave them options. Additionally, The air conditioning on the second floor was broken for 5 days before it was fixed. My formal request for compensation was denied. I was only offered a $350 credit on a future rental. I will NEVER rent from this company again.

I wrote a review for Beach Realty, per their request, on Aug. 5, 2026. They have never responded…read more Clearly they don't care. So decided I'd try to help someone else and tell them AVOID BEACH REALTY LIKE THE PLAGUE!! We rented American Dream. More like American Nightmare! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!! In 2024, 2 of the 3 heat pumps were completely out when we arrived for our week. 90+ degree weather. Management installed temporary window units which were hideous. Several other maintenance items were a disaster. Management promised to repair and offered a discount for 2025. We went back. Second year was much improved. We like the house - lots of room for the family to spread out. Location is super convenient. Kids love the pool. So we decided to go back for summer 2026. When first we reached the 3rd floor it was very hot - the AC was out!!!! I called and it was repaired by 8 pm, but really! AGAIN!!?? Don't they pay any attention to the property and what's working or not?? On Monday morning when we opened the dishwasher, we discovered the bottom was full of gross water. It was Tues afternoon before they got around to sending a maintenance guy. I did not pay the amount of rent they charge for a week to enjoy washing dishes!! One item I have brought to management's attention twice (now it's three times) is the horrible stove. The oven only works halfway. The eyes are so marginal it's ridiculous. My daughter was trying to cook pancakes this year. She set the temp on 4. It got WAY too hot so she cut it to 2. It got HOTTER! Put it on 6 and it cooled off. (The knobs were on correctly.) Surface is a mess. Oven takes more than twice recommended cook time. The large lower drawer does not work and is rusty. Rust inside the microwave as well which is old and not dependable. Again, adjust cooking time by double. The door to the freezer leaks from the ice maker. Every time you open it, water is spread across the floor. Have reported this in prior years. It's actually starting to corrode now. Bins in the refrig are cracked. Several of the lights in the house simply do not work such as 3rd level master bath area, 2nd level closet and most of the exhaust fans make terrible noise and are very marginal. Lamps are missing lightbulbs or have bulbs that do not work. Several of the AC vents are moldy, filthy and rusty. The top glass in the door to the 3rd level deck is gone so you have to keep the door closed. Can't look out to enjoy the ocean and the door itself has such a strong spring on it you risk the health of your heels and toes navigating in and out! Too dangerous to allow the kids to do it on their own. There is a LARGE timber on the back left corner of the pool stockade fence which is broken and appears about ready to collapse completely. Pieces of the broken timber are sticking out and could be the source of a bad injury not to mention disaster for the pool deck with the release of the bank it's holding back. The outside shower under the deck is unusable due to a deep pile of sand which has washed in from the outside. There is some sort of electric box hanging from the north side of the house. I left/sent 3 messages asking for the property manager to contact me and received no response. Hence this review. I repeat - we like the house. LOTS of room and nice layout. Area is great for family excursions. Right on the beach with beautiful views. This year we were there during the hatching of a couple of sea turtle nests which was exciting and educational for all. Bless those turtle volunteers! American Dream...not so much. If Beach Realty is going to charge premium rates, they need to actually inspect and repair the property. I know lots of people come and go and it's difficult to keep on top of every detail. But some of these problems have existed for years. Others are safety concerns. Others are essential to the comfort and well-being of their "guests." Please pay better attention, Beach Realty. I gave it a 3 because of the features and location. But it's barely adequate. Pictures available upon request.  BUT because of their complete lack of response to my calls while in Nags Head and the review (above) I sent them, it's reduced to a 1.
