In answering your questions:"Was the property description accurate regarding the location?" = Yes"Was the property clean and well maintained?" = NO"Did the owner or manager provide good service?" = Manager, yes"Would you recommend this property to a friend or relative?" = NO, ABSOLUTELY NOBeach Realty has been a respectable management company for years and years, but they need to release themselves from the VRBO arrangement they have with "Gypsea Rose". This property is damaging the good reputation of Beach Realty. We have been staying in properties at the Outer Banks for over 30 years, and have never seen a property that was so very neglected, in very poor condition, unsafe and unhealthy. There was mold on walls in general living spaces where past flooding had been, jagged rusted baseboards where children or pets could cut their feet in every bathroom, toilets not flushing properly, showerhead not attached and hanging out of the wall, and a deck and steps to the beach that were unsafe and dangerous. The splintering wood and the nails sticking up all over the deck and steps were far too dangerous, so we used the public beach access so we wouldn't have any accidents. Management DID send a very kind gentleman with a hammer to hammer down some of the nails, but it is really up to the owner to maintain the property. We paid a premium price for a substandard property.
