Lesson learned. The covered/recessed balcony provided privacy from next-door neighbors and provided beautiful views of the sunrise/beach. Staff friendly and accommodating, breakfast offerings included egg items (scrambled, omelettes), meat (bacon chicken sausage/links), seasoned potatoes, cereal, breads,pastries/scones, Belgian waffle station (churro flavor was different), oatmeal, and coffee/tea/hot cocoa/juice, and fresh fruit. Coffee/tea/cocoa and citrus water station near entrance/front desk stocked 24/7. Beach is great for shelling/walking. I found the location to be conveniently located for shopping, food, Historic Corolla Village, Currituck Lighthouse, Currituck Beach Maritime Forest Trail Lookout (wheel chair accessible boardwalk to lookout; hiking trail through forest off boardwalk), and 4x4 beach access. If you're expecting to see wild Spanish mustangs, chances are slim and I recommend investing in a horse tour on 4x4 beach. Well worth the money (tours may be closed for season, so dbl check hours/offerings). If you're into sightseeing, you are ~ 1 hour drive to Bodie Lighthouse, Coquina Beach, and Pea Island. Hatteras is further south ~ 2 hours. I love visiting in the off seasons n and was surprised the number of businesses and restaurants still open during Thanksgiving holiday.

The new Sanderling Resort, your freshly polished slice of Southern charm by the sea! Nestled where…read morethe front balconies face the ocean and flip-flops are practically formalwear, this all-inclusive resort is a cheeky cocktail of barefoot luxury and Southern hospitality.

They have taken a salty gem and given it a glow-up--think stylish bars, sparkling pools, steamy hot tubs, and event spaces that clean up real nice. Whether you're sipping cocktails under the stars, hosting a party with ocean views, or just wondering how many pools is too many (spoiler: never enough), this is the spot where fun checks in and refuses to leave. Newly remodeled, wildly reimagined--welcome to your next favorite escape. Where ocean breeze meets elevated taste, and every bite feels like a seaside indulgence. They offer two coastal-inspired restaurants on site--each offering its own refined take on fresh, locally sourced fare--this venue is a destination for those who appreciate the finer tides in life. Sophisticated, scenic, and effortlessly relaxed--between the two it is coastal dining, redefined. Cheers!

Have rented from Village Realty for years and have had fine experiences. Unfortunately our arrival…read morethis year was a disappointment. Last year's experience in the house we rented was great, so we decided to rent the same house again. Upon our arrival the first thing we noticed was that there were three sets of towels for a house sleeping 12. We called and were told that they were short towels so would have to bring them by later. But wonder had we not checked or called, how would we have known, or known when they would be coming by? That was just an inconvenience and not that big a deal. The bigger issue was that we came in to find animal hair--assuming a cat? all over the living room couches, bedroom chairs, and even on the bedroom sheets! First, made me question whether sheets are changed between guests, and we rented a house specifically saying pet free as my wife and kids are allergic and my wife's eye started swelling up. Village Realty was responsive, sent someone from housekeeping right away, but then said she noticed the hair when they were cleaning. Begs the question, why was nothing done about it? Or the grease by the stove for that matter? Said they'd come back with new sheets and a new comforter and get a crew back in to vacuum the furniture. Guess I don't understand what they did when they were here prior to our arrival then. Come to OBX every summer, much needed getaway, but the aggravation within the first hour of our arrival this year makes me question where we'll rent from in the future, and at the very least feel like we need to go to a different house. Update....to be fair, the company responded pretty quickly and have been nice and apologetic. Back to change linens and tomorrow getting in a carpet cleaner. Just unfortunate it had to go down this way at all, and apparently it was the owner's pet. Hard to know then if a pet free house is really pet free--for those allergic--or just pet free so the owner's own pet isn't disturbed by other animals.

If this review saves even one person from the recent rental nightmare we endured with Village, it…read morewill be worth it. We rented a beautiful oceanfront house in Duck last week, and the experience was nearly ruined for our group thanks to Village. Special shoutout to Nikki and Noah for being particularly incompetent and unhelpful. Timeline breakdown of our experience and pictures below, lest the company dare accuse me of exaggerating our account of events. Day 1: Upon 4p check-in, we thought we'd driven up to the wrong house. Multiple commercial trucks blocked the driveway, and the house looked like a construction zone. Railings were MISSING on the steps and back balcony; equipment, nails, wires and boards were strewn everywhere (see pictures). Contractor stickers were still on recently-replaced windows. The pool we'd paid $350 to ensure was heated and cleaned was cold and filthy (see pictures). Our group couldn't even get in the driveway. Everyone was shocked and upset. I immediately called Village and explained the situation. I spoke with Nikki and then Noah. At first; they did a good job of at least appearing to care. They asked for pictures, which we promptly provided; and claimed to have no knowledge of the owner scheduling construction on the house for that day. They offered dinner coupons to a random restaurant for our group. When we made it clear that wasn't going to cut it, and we were concerned we may need to move to another house altogether due to the associated safety concerns, they told us they'd make the situation right, would send us alternate rental options, and wouldn't leave that day until they'd addressed our concerns. That ended up being total lip service, because after I hung up the phone, they completely ghosted us for the rest of the week. No follow-up contact whatsoever. When we called back a few minutes after 5 the same day, they'd closed up for the day, in spite of assuring us they wouldn't leave before making the situation right. The contractors didn't leave the house until 830 that evening. They left a massive pile of boards and construction materials in the yard, along with nails still strewn everywhere (see pictures). These remained for the rest of the week. Day 3: Monday morning I called Village back and spoke with Nikki. She sounded less-than excited to hear from me; didn't ask any follow up questions about our situation from Saturday, and said she'd have to transfer me to Noah to discuss restitution. I wish I were joking, but she put me on hold and NO ONE picked up. I waited 15 minutes (15 minutes!!) before hanging up and calling back. They were clearly screening my call because no one answered. At this point, I'm in shock that a company with such pathetic customer service and obvious blatant disregard for their customers is still in business. I sent a follow up email requesting a callback. Shocker: no response. Day 5: After giving them over a day to respond to our email, my partner and I decided to drive to the Corolla office in person. At that office, we meet with Noah - (supposedly) a different Noah, who tells us he will send a message to the Noah we spoke with and have him follow up with us. Surprise surprise, we hear nothing. Day 6: We try calling again, speak with someone who won't give her name and tells us Noah conveniently isn't working that day. At this point, we're so disgusted with Village that we decide to ensure everyone on the internet knows about our experience. Hopefully, owners with otherwise beautiful houses will think twice about the associated guest experience repurcussions and avoid working with Village in the future. We ve been coming to OBX for many years. This is the first year we've ever had an issue with the realty company. Please do yourself a favor and rent with anyone else in OBX but Village.

Loved having the pool and hot tub in the back yard with the privacy fence. We did have trouble getting the showers to work as we had never encountered this type before but we called and the owner called us back and walked us through it. We felt super silly but glad to have some help. The house is only a 5 or so minute walk to the beach which was great! They also provide some beach chairs and sand toys to take to the beach and bring back. We did bring our own pool floats though. The only think is I wish the pool were bigger.

We sat and sweated in 90 degree temperatures. The water purification system stopped working on Tuesday, no drinkable water and no ice could be made. The wash machine backed up in one of the shower stalls. One of the bedroom ceilings leaked when it rained. My son stepped on a rusty nail at the pool from the deteriorating wood shed. We contacted the company as soon as the issues arose and the only response was a thank you, we'll put in a service ticket. A gentleman did stop by Friday to ask about the leak. He asked if that is all we needed so I caught him up on all the issues and he was shocked. He said the ac repairman had been in the area all week and his buddy took care of the water system and he was sure they weren't aware of the problems. I have the texts to the company on my phone. I assume he said something to the company so they text and said they weren't aware of the issues, so I took a screenshot of the texts and sent them.... no response! No apology! No offer to make things right! No customer service! Please stay away from this company and give your hard earned money to a company that appreciates your business!
