Very good to work with. Good communication. Easy checkin and check out. Even called during our stay to see if everything was ok. Would rent through them again. We stayed at Whispering Surf. Very nice house with awesome pool and hot tub.

This was our 28th year renting vacation homes at OBX. Our first year with Surf or Sound. They were delightful to work with- answered all of our questions, were prompt and friendly. We are already working with them for an extended stay in March. Highly recommend! ☀ 🌊

We had an amazing time at OBX in the surf and sound beach house. The house was gorgeous and very spacious, everything we needed for a week of fun
