About Beach Vacation Rentals

ABOUT US

Welcome to Beach Vacation Rentals by Owner – a website that was inspired by my love of the beach and my desire to provide a service to other beach lovers.

My name is Doris Ann Younts and I am proud to say that I am a “Carolina Girl”, born and raised in coastal North Carolina and near the beautiful beaches of the Outer Banks.

I have enjoyed the sun and sand from the very first time my mother took me to the Outer Banks. Yes, that is a picture of me at age 17 months playing in the sand at Nags Head, North Carolina. From that moment on and into my teenage years and right on through my adult life, the beach has been my playground. The only time I left the coast was to attend business school at Hardbarger Business College in Raleigh, NC. I graduated in 1972 and immediately headed back to the coast to get a suntan and get my toes wet once again.

I live in Kill Devil Hills on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I am a REALTOR and hold a NC Real Estate Brokers license. I have been listing and selling real estate for the last 7 years. Prior to that, I was a property/rental manager with a well-established rental company for 7 years where I had the opportunity to learn the ins & outs and every aspect of the rental industry. I feel my expertise and knowledge of the industry and how it works can help property owners promote their rental homes online. I plan to implement many ideas on how to ‘rent’ successfully online instead of relying solely on a management company to book your rental weeks. The services I will offer will benefit both the home owner and the home owner’s guest.

I have been blessed over the years. I have three wonderful children and a grandson named Kyle, and a granddaughter named Kendall born May 2007. My oldest daughter, Julie, lives in Raleigh and works for the US Marshal Service in the US Justice Department. My other daughter, Rachel, the mother of my grandson lives here on the Outer Banks and owns & operates Tickled Pink a unique gift shop. My son, Jon (Kendall's Dad), also lives and works here on the beach. If he’s not working, you will find him surfing or skim boarding somewhere on the beach.

Some of the pictures on this site will be of family members and friends. Kyle is a natural beach lover and knows more about crabbing, fishing and surfing than any child his age. At age 5, his father had him surfing here in Kill Devil Hills.

I have been lucky enough in my life to travel and visit many of the beaches on the east coast not to mention the Caribbean. I have used the internet many times in securing a vacation home and have rented directly from several property owners online. Some websites are friendlier to use than others and some sites you can get lost in. It was during one of those frustrating moments, that I decided that I should design and maintain a website that was easy to use and would be strictly and exclusively for rentals of beach properties.

It is my hope and goal that not only property owners will list on my website and feel confident that I will provide them with the best service I possibly can but that renters will feel secure enough to inquire and rent from those property owners.

Thank you and remember “we build memories in the sand”.
