Thankful for Item Found from Vacation Rental

August 16th, 2010
“Our family has been renting a house from Carolina Designs Realty the first week of August for at least the last 3 summers now and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay this year…Once I was home and realized …I left a very expensive, professional grade hairdryer and diffuser.  I spoke with Deborah Stone who could not have been more helpful and reassuring.  She was so empathetic to my situation and offered to do her best to contact the current occupants to see if the dryer was still where I had left it.  
This morning, she gave me the wonderful news that she had found the dryer, the diffuser and even the hand-held mirror left behind and graciously took my mailing address and credit card number promising to return it to me via UPS today.  Having worked in customer service and marketing, I firmly believe there is no better form of advertisement than good customer service.  I am certain that your staff deals with this type of situation weekly but it is the attitude with which I was treated that made all the difference for me personally.  I knew Deborah was sincere and would do what she could to help me recover my valuable property. I couldn’t be more thrilled, relieved and grateful to your extraordinarily helpful staff.   

Our family (nearly 30 of us) has been renting homes in the Outer Banks every year for the past 17 or 18 years now.  Our choice to stay with Carolina Designs Realty has and will continue to be impacted by such an exemplary level of customer service.  Please know how very grateful I am that your staff responded in such a warm, personal, caring and professional manner to my crisis.  It speaks very highly of the management staff and level of training given your employees.”     Warmest regards and with the utmost gratitude,

Great Outer Banks Vacation Rental Experience

August 11th, 2010

“Our family has returned from a lovely vacation in the Outer Banks.  We had rented Bahama Holiday (986) and had a wonderful time.  

The home easily accommodated our large group – we all had our own space, yet were able to come together as a group without feeling crowded.   The two kitchens were awesome, and our only complaint was our groups kept different dinner schedules!  

When we found the pool and hot tub required cleaning mid-week, your rental agency sent the Pool Servicing personnel right away, with minimal disruption to the groups’ pool fun. 

Thank you for the outstanding vacation and pleasant and timely service!”

Thanks, 

JoAnn from Avondale, PA

“Dear Staff at Carolina Designs Realty, Well here we are again, back home and already dreaming about next year in the Outer Banks!  

As it has been for the last 6 years (4 at #589 Ocean Star) the time spent in your beautiful part of the world was wonderful – peaceful and exhilarating at the same time.  Thank you for all that you do, from the moment we make our first reservation, to when we walk up the steps to our lovely home for the week.  The house was immaculate.  Everything we needed was where it was supposed to be.  Outside, the grounds were beautiful.  Your entire staff – office, housekeeping, and maintenance are a joy to work with.  You should all be very proud.  Thank you so much for your care and concern that our vacation would be perfect.  It was, and we think Carolina Designs Realty is perfect too!  You really are A+ Southern Hospitality at its best – Bless you all! “

Sincerely, Don & Marie, Bellmore, NY

Wonderful Vacation Experience

June 7th, 2010

“I rented #615 in May and fell in love with this vacation rental property, but more specifically was incredibly impressed with your company.   I firmly believe that customer service (with a smile) and promptness in response is an important key to success and Carolina Designs Realty  went above and beyond.  I travel globally and am loyal to those companies that strive to keep customer service and promptness their priority and you have done it.   I have rented from other companies in the Outer Banks and absolutely NONE of them compare.
 

I hope to meet you some day and personally thank you for what great qualities you are instilling in your workforce and of course, hiring the right people as well as details around my requests and the incredible response I was given.  Keep it up!  I’m returning next spring (if not sooner).”

 

Kind Regards,

Our Wonderful Vacation Experience

May 5th, 2010

“Thank you for everything you do. My family and I rented By Grace #225, for Bike Week and it was absolutely perfect. All of my children are grown and I now have a couple of grandchildren. Other than Christmas, it is rare that we all get together. This was the first time in two plus years. All but one of my five children either rides or are involved with someone that rides, so Bike Week is a great for us. The combination of the location and floor plan of the house contributed greatly to our wonderful vacation experience. The beauty of the area combined with the hospitality of all the local people and businesses also were major factors in our vacation being awesome. All of my children agree that this vacation was comparable to the Disney stuff we did with them when they were young! Thanks again.”

For Fall Sunsets on the Outer Banks . . .

November 17th, 2009

Turn down Soundside Road in Nags Head just south of the Jockey’s Ridge State Park.  The road runs to the sound and there is a rear entrance to Jockey’s Ridge with a parking lot and sound access.
There is sound side gazebo at Windgrass with great sunset views, at the end of Tateway Street in Kitty Hawk. Turn west on Tateway at Gateway Bank and turn right on Windgrass. The water is very shallow to wade or play in and there is a great walking path as well.
A public gazebo sits just north of Miller’s Sound side restaurant in Nags Head. It is south of old Windmill Point and north of Miller’s with its own parking lot. Great place to launch a kayak!

The Best Time Ever

October 5th, 2009

“I just want to say we all had the best time ever.  It was a once in a lifetime vacation and we’re all committed to doing it again, probably next year.  #677 Mucho Dinero was a beautiful house and everything was wonderful.   We couldn’t have asked for more.
The only thing holding us up for next year is finding out where my son who is in the military will be deployed to. When that is known we will decide on a date, probably being the same time of year next year.  I look forward to doing business with you again
Thank you so much, I found dealing with you and your company so pleasant.”  Pat from Mountiantop, PA

”P.S. I am looking forward to the catalog for next year already.”
