We rented Duck 18 - Mi Casa Su Casa - in August 2026. This was an expensive rental. Very…read moreexpensive. So, our expectations were understandably high. But, long story short, the condition of this house was appalling. Sand everywhere, food chunks splattered all over the waste bins, chunks of food all over the dishes, sand in the kitchen drawers. Every surface in this house was greasy and grimy - the doors, the chairs, the kitchen drawers and countertops, the pool area - like the house hadn't been cleaned properly in years. There's a silly couch in the living room where the design gives you a direct sightline underneath it, and it was laughably dirty (sand, rocks, food, etc.). At least one bathroom smelled like a camp site latrine. The pool deck was so appallingly dirty that my 80 year-old father spent an entire morning cleaning it. In addition to cleanliness problems, this house is at least 10 years behind on maintenance. The deck needs serious work, the ancient pool system is overwhelmed by the encroaching sand, and the budget kitchen/bathrooms have been pounded on by renters for decades. The cookware and dishes are a mismatch of random things people have left in the rental for the last 10 years. It's hard to cook or otherwise enjoy the property when you're constantly trying to overcome the condition issues. We immediately notified Shoreline of all these issues and they sent a cleaning person and pool person the next day. The cleaning person immediately admitted that the house wasn't clean at all. She did her best, which was helpful, but there was nothing she could do about the systemic condition issues. The pool person said that he is unaware of anyone being responsible for maintenance of the pool deck - which was clear to us already. And here's another interesting note: there are no garbage cans outside the house. You have to put your garbage bags in your car and drive them a few blocks to the community dumpster. Good luck keeping your car clean. We love this area but we will NOT be renting from Shoreline OBX again. Awful experience.

Disappointed in our recent stay due to housekeeping issues. Shoreline called us to say the property…read morewas ready and we could check in early. We thought great news....but we were sadly mistaken. Beds appeared to be made, but the sheets underneath were filthy (sand, hair, debris). My family was uncomfortable the first night...sleeping on the couch to avoid the bedding. My daughter complained of being itchy and it was very stressful. I spoke to the Shoreline and asked for a concession since the price of our vacation was over $6,500 and at that rate you'd expect at the very leastclean sheets - especially since we were told early check in was an option - which means it was intentionally rushed. Shoreline did send housekeeping but they did not arrive until late in the afternoon on the second day-- forcing my tired kids to skip nap because I was very concerned about potential bed bugs. We also had a few concerns around rusty nails/rusty hooks in the pool area, and the top rail to the bunk bed being held loosely by tape and zip ties...which were never acknowledged or addressed. I sent an email with photos and called. I missed one call from Shoreline..called back and never received a follow up after leaving a message with Dawn. Also had a maintenance man come to change the air filter which woke up my infant later in the week. All in all just not relaxing from start to finish. At the very least a call back would be appropriate. Extremely disappointed. I will note a professional came to clean the mattress that was of greatest concern. There were no bed bugs found. Instead mattress cover and sheets were just extremely dirty. The address of the rental was 7212 S Virginia Dare Trail, Nags Head.

MY PREVIOUS POST FROM 9/2025 DISAPPEARED…read more My friends and I were extremely excited with our choice of The Sandbar for our girl's trip, this year. Two of us arrived on Saturday and the others were due to arrive the following day. We CAREFULLY selected our home due to 2 RELYING on the elevator to get up and down the stairs. We rented The Sandbar from September 13-20th. Upon arrival, one person who RELIED on the elevator due to mobility issues was UNABLE to exit the elevator. The mechanism which unlocks the door upon its arrival to the designated floor WOULD NOT UNLOCK. They rode the elevator up and down trying to exit on each floor but remained STUCK IN THE ELEVATOR. Finally, after 10 minutes and much anguish (they also suffer from heart issues and severe asthma) they were FINALLY able to exit the elevator. I placed a call to the on-call repairman who arrived a few hours later. He stated the elevator mechanism was running as it should but the elevator company would need to come out to repair the door lock because if he did it would affect the warranty for the elevator. I asked him to get in the elevator to test it but he replied he would NOT ENTER IT BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO GET STUCK INSIDE. He said a work order was submitted the week before we got there and it was SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. Guess what, it obviously WAS NOT. He said he'd call in an another work order but since it was September 13th they no longer worked on weekends. They would more than likely be out on Monday. This was UNACCEPTABLE as what would happen in case of an emergency with my friend who was dependent on the elevator? I called Beach Realty and spoke with their office manager on duty on Sunday. She said there was no need to create scenarios that may or may not happen. SERIOUSLY??? She said there was nothing she could do and if something happened just call the fire department. She assured me she'd call with any information from Atlantic Elevators. When it was mid afternoon on Monday, I called Atlantic Elevators and was told they would not be out until sometime on Tuesday, September 16th. The office manager I previously spoke with was NOT happy that I called Atlantic Elevators. Fortunately, we had picked up a limited number of items at Food Lion and a large pizza before entering the house on Saturday. We were STRANDED on the top floor of this home for 3.5 days of our vacation. I would NOT leave my friend alone in that house in the event she experienced a medical emergency. Our other friend who has more severe mobility issues decided NOT to make the trip since they were afraid they'd arrive and not be able to use the elevator. I told the person I had been in contact with at Beach Realty that I was considering contacting an attorney because of the runaround I was getting. Her response was "YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH THIS OWNER." That definitely was a serious threat from her. The weather on Wednesday and Thursday was not conducive for using the pool so we did some souvenir shopping and sightseeing after being STRANDED on the top floor for 3.5 days. Friday arrived with sun and bright blue skies. We made our way to the pool for what we thought would be a relaxing afternoon. Upon getting to the pool steps, we found a HUGE, DEAD RAT off to the side. ( I've included 2 photos). A call was made to BEACH REALTY and someone removed it between Friday night and Saturday morning. Our original check-out date was Saturday, September 20th. I called Beach Realty on Thursday to see if they AND the owner would grant us 3 extra days since the elevator wasn't in operation for 3.5 days and we were stuck on the 3rd floor. (MIND YOU, NO ONE HAD RESERVED THE HOME FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 20-27th). The owner granted ONE EXTRA DAY.... OH WOW!!! I WILL NEVER RENT FROM BEACH REALTY, AGAIN!!! They DO NOT value their customers NOR care about their safety. If you're smart, you'll rent from another company.

My friends and I stayed in the Snead Cottage at Kilmarlic from 8/9 through 8/12, and although the…read morehouse was great, cleanliness wasn't. When we first got in the house and started unpacking, I found straw wrappers under the beds in reachable distance and an old sock in the trash bin in the upstairs loft. And the worst part - LOTS of cockroaches! I asked for pest control on Tue morning, 8/10 and confirmed they put in a work order that morning at 10:08am, but we still had roaches even on the day of departure. I'm very grateful we decided beforehand to not cook in that house. It's obvious that the cleanliness here is only surface level. Additionally, we weren't provided a trash can to take our trash to the street for collection. They advise to bring it to the curb the night before because trash collection most often comes at dawn. We had to put the bags on the lawn and they were ripped open when we left the next morning. The trash was not collected. The house is beautiful, but I didn't plan on making friends with roaches. We will stay somewhere else next time. I do NOT recommend!

We rented this property a year ago when it was with Vacasa 9639D E Nansemond Street Nags Head NC…read more 27959, and it was amazing, older but price was right (just over 4K) The management changed this year after we had our reservation through Vacasa and we searched and found the home again with Atlantic Realty. We ended up paying an extra 1k to rent it. When we arrived there was a tip envelope on the counter saying the home had been cleaned and inspected but clearly it wasn't because there was items from the prior tenants stored all around the home and it was dirty. Extra beds on the patio, baby gates out front by the outside shower, someone's underwear, socks and bra in the drawers, moldy shower curtain, dirt under the beds. We called housekeeping number on the envelope but there was no answer. When we finally did get ahold of someone they came and picked up the items outside. For more than 5k for the week I expected better not worse. We loved this place last year when we stayed here but we are already planning our next home and going back to Vacasa.

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!!!!

Highly disappointed!!! Arrived late (8:45 PM) on 7/13. We were immediately greeted by a strong…read moremildew smell, dirty dishes in the cabinet, dead ants (as well as eight ant traps in the kitchen and countertops), a ceiling light dangling near the kitchen, and bed linens that reeked of mildew. Also, the pool skimmer was torn, making it difficult to skim the pool every morning. All of the bed linens had to be washed to eliminate the mildew odor. We could not contact Paramount as the office was closed for the day. The following morning (7/14), we called Paramount and left a message. Michelle and Channing arrived shortly after that. We immediately asked if we could be moved to another property and Michelle said she would see what she could do and get back to us. Seven hours later we were informed that nothing was available. Channing repaired the dangling light fixture, sprayed air freshener, and thoroughly cleaned the register covers. We informed him that the refrigerator was not cold so he adjusted the setting and said to be patient. He also set both thermostats to 68 degrees - saying this would help with the smell. Half the day was lost addressing these issues. The next day, 7/15, the refrigerator was still warm. Channing came out and determined that the fridge was indeed bad. The owner had to be informed so a new refrigerator could be purchased and delivered. In the meantime, we were promised a "loaner" fridge would be delivered until the new one arrived. This meant transferring all perishable food to our coolers. Extremely inconvenient! While we at the beach, the loaner fridge was delivered and set up outside, in front of the garage! Without our knowledge or consent, our food was transferred to the fridge. I guess we were expected to go outside when we needed something from the fridge. Later in the afternoon, the fridge was moved to the lower-level game room area - again, up and down the steps to retrieve items from the fridge. Tuesday, 7/16, pest control and two housekeeping women came and performed their tasks that should have been done PRIOR to our arrival. 7/17 was somewhat uneventful although the smell had returned and at 68 degrees we were freezing, especially in the lower level of the house. We had to purchase blankets because it was so cold at night and the supplied thin quilts did not provide adequate warmth. Still no new refrigerator in the kitchen. With the thermostats set so low to "reduce the smell", the kids got sick, and one of the adults' asthma flared up. Not to mention that the stress my wife experienced caused her autoimmune disease to flare up. On Thursday, 7/18, we were informed that the new refrigerator would be delivered. Delivery men and Paramount maintenance guy removed the old refrigerator and replaced it with the new one. While this was being done, we were reiterating all the issues we had experienced to the maintenance guy. His sarcastic response was "what would you like me to do about it?" My wife and I decided to return home the next day (7/19); we'd had enough. The unfortunate truth is that had someone taken the extra hour or two to thoroughly inspect the home, many of the issues would have been detected and corrected. Afterall, we were informed the house was ready at 2:00 PM - two hours before the regular check-in time. Shame on you. To make matters worse, no mention of compensation was offered from either Paramount Destinations or the owner. I texted Michelle, asking for contact information to register our concerns but she never responded. I also called the office when we arrived home and was told there was really no one I could talk to; just complete this survey. Your website touts Paramount Destinations as "Luxury Vacation Rentals at The Currituck Club" - this is laughable. This was our fourth visit to a Paramount Destinations in the Currituck Club and sadly, will likely be the last.

They stayed in touch via text and email, letting us know when the plumber was scheduled to come. Super responsive. Half way through our 3 week stay, they gave us the option of getting fresh linens delivered, which was super convenient. Someone maintained the hot tub on a regular basis without being intrusive. This company gave us the feeling that they had our back if anything went awry. We've rented beach houses (VA beach) for many years. The beach environment is very harsh. Rental homes can be in wildly different conditions depending (I think) on the owners and not the rental company. Sometimes a house is old and fraying around the edges, sometimes updated and sparkling. Sometimes renters leave the place a wreck and the cleaners barely have time to put it back in order. If an updated, newer place is important to you, let the rental company guide you to the right homes. P.S. Our house was spanking clean and in excellent condition. I believe the owners take pride in their home, which is well managed by Outer Banks Blue. Great house + great company = great vacation.
