Beach Realty & Construction in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

“Good location but that’s it. For a rental accommodating 12 people, we received only 3 trash bags, floors were dirty, blankets were stained, and there was visible mold in the washing machine. “Mgmt” offered to send cleaners after we reported it, but by then we had unpacked and already cleaned ourselves. The house should have been properly cleaned prior, as it wasn’t occupied for 4 days, not after guests discover the issues. We were then told someone would come address the moldy washer. Nobody came, followed up, or even communicated that they weren’t coming. The next frustrating part is how strict their check-in policies are while apparently holding themselves to a much lower standard for cleanliness, maintenance, and communication. Plenty of expectations for guests, but very little accountability in return. A good location doesn’t excuse poor cleanliness and poor management. For the price, this was extremely disappointing and we do not recommend booking with this company again.”

“The beachfront was beautiful! The house was a bit run down and the back bedroom with the queen bed was so slanted we didn’t feel comfortable sleeping in it. There was a second bathroom but it was outside and very hot. The sand dune was close to the house and you couldn’t actually see the water from the porch, which was also slanted. We also had to pretty much do all of the cleaning other than the laundry. I also messaged the host for the WiFi password and was never responded to but I kept getting automated texts from them. Location was amazing but that is the only thing that “wow”d us.”

“Great place for our family vacation. Beach was a short walk and location was what we were hoping for.”

“We had a lovely time at Fish and Ships. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood but still only about 5 minutes from the main road with shops, grocery stores and restaurants. The beach access is also very close. There is a neighborhood boat ramp about 3 houses down. Our son in law brought their jet ski and they had a great time exploring the sound. Not much luck fishing but we did get enough fairly large crabs for a meal. There is a pot for cooking crabs but no net or trap, so you will need to get or bring your own. If you need anything for the beach like chairs, umbrellas, towels, you will need to bring or rent them. If you are going to cook, bring spices, condiments, salt and pepper, foil, zip lock bags. Lots of blenders, juicers, 3 different coffee makers and updated appliances. Lovely sunroom to escape to to read or just enjoy the water view. Bedrooms and living areas very spacious. We did dolphin, wild horse and lighthouse tours. All worth it. Overall, a pretty great place.”

“Great place to relax on the beach and enjoy local restaurants and buy fresh seafood !”
