Review Guidelines
Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

Adding new reviews is currently disabled while we work on launching a new website in June, 2009.

10 years of wonderful homes and great service. We love the Rothanthe/Waves/Salvo area for it's solitude, and beautiful beaches. Allows pets, so the mutt has his vacation too.
Just think! All you need is your clothes and personal items, the rest is there. Our next stay is in Hatteras, a treat for us. Keep one thing in mind.... a louse day at the beach always beats a day at work!

The best beach vacation ever
By Kristi on 10/1/2008
This was our best beach vacation ever. This is the first time traveling to OBX, everything about our trip was absolutely perfect. The accomodations were amazing from the time I made the arrangements until the end of our trip the service was impecable - any questions that I had were readily answered by a kind and knowledgable staff. We stayed at Durant Station and the facility was clean and the beach was beautiful and not too crowded. The facilities allowed for pets which was a wonderful addition to take our extended family :) Thank you for providing us with a truly relaxing family vacation. We will be sure to come again and recommend it to our friends.

Unforgettable Vacations
By Guest on 9/28/2008
This was the third year we have come to OBX and also the third year using OBR. Our second year using OBR our vacation was cut short by unforseen circumstances. Not only did the OBR team make sure that we were able to get home, but due to the circumstances, even sent a refund of their admin fee and our unused days. Imagine our surprise to find a check in the mail a week after we got home! We would never dream of renting from anyone else. This team is out of this world! If you want excellent service and beautiful homes, look no further!

Always a great group of people
By Guest on 9/23/2008
We've been renting from OBR for years and always have had a great experiance. In particular is the year that Hurrican Isabel roared through the islands. The folks at OBR did a great job of letting us know what the status was of our house and the status of the islands. Our visit was the following week but we still had a wonderful experiance. To be on the islands after a major storm is an experiance that I will always remember. Thanks to all of those at OBR who were honest and open during those times.

As far as the rest of the times we've visited, I can say that OBR has always responded promptly when there has been a problem. They have always been very helpful and I appreciate it very much.

Keep up the good work! We've really appreaciated it over the last 10 years.

Great Services from OBR
By Guest on 9/1/2008
We stayed at Durant Station last week and it was fabulous. The condo was spotless and very well stocked with anything you could possibly want. The OBR 'starter supply' was great along with the OBR bucks. They were well spent at Dolphin Den in Avon. We appreciate the 'no extra fees' and the fact that our two dogs were welcome there. Good thing there is an elevator there as we discovered one of our dogs had no clue what stairs were and refused to use them! Thanks so much for a great, carefree and relaxing week!

Great!
By Guest on 7/26/2008
We rented a cottage from OBR last year and it was in great condition! We had driven 14 hours and were going to arrive after the office had closed and they were great by leaving everything we needed in the lobby! Also, with them eliminating many of the extra fees I don't understand why anyone would choose anyone else! Great service, great house, and great price! Looking forward to next year!

Totally Awesome!!!
By Guest on 6/30/2008
I have stayed in the same cottage for two consecutive years rented from OBR. Both times, the house was wonderful and any issues (hot tub malfunction, outdoor shower head clogged) we had were fixed quickly, within hours of notifying OBR.

No complaints whatsoever!!!

Wonderful Experience
By Guest on 6/11/2008
This is our 10th visit to the Outer Banks. After using a competing rental company for the first 8 years, we switched to OBR last year - and we're thrilled that we did. Many of the rental companies in OBX have great houses, but none can compete with OBR's service and professionalism. We called about a smoke detector that was beeping (low batt), and OBR had someone at the house within the hour.

The new ''Signature Elite'' concept is a wonderful idea. If you bring family dogs with you to OBX, I highly recommend Dick & Jane's Cottage. Keep up the good work!

Bad experience
By Copperjewel on 5/22/2008
This was my tenth year vacationing in the Outer Banks and I have used just about every realtor available and could not have imagined a worse experience than I had with Outer Beaches. I placed an advance year reservation for a house and was called four days before we were to leave for our vacation and told that the house I had originally chosen was damaged and we would not be able to have it for the week. Although I would have preferred more notice, I accepted the fact that they cannot control these things and chose another house from a very small list of available houses in our price range. None of the houses were nearly as nice as the original one and none of them were in a location that we would have preferred. We made the best choice we could and decided to try and make the best of it. When we arrived at the new house we had chosen we noticed that the pool was dark green, the hot tub did not work and the AC was broken. I also understand that these things happen but I don't think it would have been too much to ask if the realtor might have checked these things before we arrived since we were obviously the first renters of the season for this property. Instead after we complained to three different people about the hot tub not working, my husband finally had to personally go into the office and ask to have it fixed. They eventually did fix it, by our fourth day but this to me is not satisfactory. We spent the first four days of our vacation with various repairmen who repeatedely woke up my daughter from her naps and just basically disrupted our vacation. We had the AC repairmen arrive at 10 am one morning without warning or our permission. They were there for most of the day. I fail to see why they couldn't have repaired the AC on a day when the house was not occupied. Like maybe the four days before we arrived or the day we checked out considering most of the week the temp never got above 70 degrees. Again, I realize the realtor cannot help the fact that things need to be repaired but spending four days of our vacation with repairmen and a house that isn't ready for renters is unacceptable. I will not be using this realtor again.

Wonderful
By Guest on 5/6/2008
Outer Beaches Realty is our favorite rental agent to use so far. We have rented with them for the past three Outer Banks vacations. They are VERY helpful and accomodating. They have very high standards, so I am confident that the unit that I rent will be comfortable and CLEAN!
Thank-you.

Slice of Heaven
By Guest on 4/11/2008
We have been vacationing at the Outer Banks for 15 years and progressively moved further south.
We have used Outer Beaches for the last 6 years and no other company even comes close to the service and hospitality we recieve from the staff. We love the Banks and Outer Beaches and would not use any other company!

Wonderful experience with Outer Beaches Realty. I happened to mention that we were coming for our honeymoon on the phone when we booked the house; when we arrived, there was champagne for us! During our stay, the hot tub didn't work, so we called the office. Someone was out to fix it the next morning.

Lovely, classy home with all the amenities of a beach cottage. I would highly recommend this to my friends and family!

In the two years my friends and I have come down to the outer banks, we have rented a home with Outer Beaches Realty. They are always professional, helpful and very pleasant to deal with. Again this year we are renting from them, and I would advise anyone to use their service if you want a great stay and a great house!

By Guest on 12/7/2007
We've been coming to the Outer Banks for the last seven years. 2008 will be our third year with Outer Beaches. We can't imagine using any other company. The service is top-notch. The staff is a delight to work with. And we really, really appreciate the no extra fees policy. It's nice to actually feel like we're on vacation on our vacation - they take care of everything.

Outer Beaches is the best
By OBX Renter on 12/1/2007
We have stayed on Hatteras Island every year for the last 12 years, and have been staying with Outer Beaches for the last 6, without fail. The service and friendliness of the Outer Beaches staff is not comparable.

Excellent selection/service
By Guest on 11/26/2007
Four to five friends go each year fishing the surf. We have stayed in the Frisco area for 8 years, 5 years with OBR. This was the first year I've had to call on them (light bulbs, remote control, batteries). They were over within a half hour!!! The staff have always been great in making reservations and during check-in. All good comments. See ya'll next November.

Excellent Personal Service
By Guest on 10/19/2007
We have rented from Outer Beaches for the past 3 years now. They are very helpful with house selection, early check-in, and when problems arise (i.e. broken dishwasher when we arrived or a lost key). We've been very pleased with the 3 houses we've stayed and and will not even consider renting from another companies. The first year we rented we contacted a few other companies; they were not helpful and didn't seem to want to rent to us. Their loss! My gain - because I've been nothing but pleased with my interactions with Outer Beaches. As a part of early check-in we've met the cleaning staff a couple times, and they've been very accomodating and nice. Especially appreciated since we usually arrive after driving for 15 hours straight through the night. I look forward to booking my next rental with them - who knows it might be this week!

Great service
By Guest on 9/18/2007
This was the first time we used Outer Beaches. We've rented from at least 3 other rental agencies in the OBX. This was the first time we had a problem with our rental house, and Outer Beaches responded professionally, relocated us to a much larger house with more amenities for the same price.
I have no idea how the other rental agencies would have responded, but I KNOW how Outer Beaches did. They saved our vacation.
