Looking for a recommendation for a realty company for our beach trip next spring/summer. Midgett has treated us well recently but they don’t have much available. No to Vacasa. Looking in Avon, Buxton, Frisco area. Thanks!

I was going to say Hatteras Realty, but I see on their site they are now "by VACASA" so...

Our next door neighbor in Frisco uses Surf or Sound and I always see the inspectors checking behind the cleaners turnover morning and then the hot tub people doing their thing. Our neighbor is pleased with them he says.

We used Hatteras Realty as our “go to” but the switch to Vacasa gave us a couple of bad experiences, so hard pass on them.

Vacasa is absolute garbage on all of Hatteras Island I only know of one owner who is happy with Vacasa since they took over the big companies on the island.
Would look at VRBO. Surf or Sound

Watch for Vacasa when looking on VRBO. They will be listed as the contact or mgmt company, sneaky devils.

We exclusively rented through Hatteras Realty for 5+ years. No more, even their rental search is frustrating.

Never had an issue with Midgett, except availability as you now know.

Stayed with Surf or Sound 3x so far, a tad pricier but otherwise zero complaints.

Brindley Beach has properties there now. Not sure how much inventory, but might be worth a look.

Brindley Beach bought Shore Details a few years ago. It is still the same local team that I am part of. We have some great houses on Hatteras Island from Waves to Hatteras village! Currently have close to 60 houses, from Condos to 8 bedrooms.

Village Realty or Seaside Vacations
Midgett Realty fired me in March, 2025 as the PM in Avon so wouldn’t recommend them at all..just sayin

I primarily use Midgett. We get good service from them. This summer we were in our 6 bedroom house in Avon with a pool by noon on check in day.
Surf or Sound has too many fees.
Vacasa… no. They won’t let you in till 6pm no matter when the house is ready.
Inventory is always good in our experience

We have been lucky with Surf and Sound. We used to rent in South Nags head but wanted to rent further South. It’s been ten years renting down here used Midgett no issues but mostly Surf and Sound. Only one battle which they finally agreed with us. Houses have been very clean, they call after we get in asking if the house was cleaned to our liking and leave check in message later in the week. We will be there next week in a house we never rented , hope the beach is in good shape.
