Clean, comfortable beds. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, and food storage, which we didn’t expect but appreciated! I liked the simple, elegant style of the furniture and decor. I credit the owners for this! Carolina Retreats was responsive to texts. One issue I feel they should have offered an apology and a bit more reassurance for, rather than merely acknowledging. But overall, good. The only major drawback was that you have to cross the main road to get to the beach access, and there is no crosswalk there or in reasonable walking distance. Most people don’t stop or don’t notice you trying to cross. So crossing with two young kids was not great. There are many houses on the sound side, so I don’t understand the lack of crosswalks.

The pool was cloudy and no chairs to sit or loungers. It should state that you have to cross a major highway with NO cross walk to get to the beach. Dangerous if you have little children. Many steps to get upstairs and the dock with the bay had no railing. Not very kid friendly. Place was nice and the property people were great with the communication.

Our stay was perfect! Just a short walk to the beach. The property had everything we needed and more! We only had a minor inconvenience with the door code to get in at first, but communication with the property manager took care of it real quick.

Overall, the house was comfortable. However, there are some things we would like to give feedback on: 1. AC - the property manager did not allow the AC to be set below 78° at night. In the summer when it’s 80-95° outside, even at night, this is way too high. Every night our family wanted to spend time together upstairs, but it was too hot for us to be comfortable. This needs to be more adjustable for guests. 2. Inconsistent WiFi - the WiFi cut out multiple times, especially at night. 3. Water Pressure - the water pressure in the showers and bathroom sinks were very low all week. All 3 showers had very very little pressure. 4. Kitchen table- the kitchen tabletop is not screwed to the legs. This is very dangerous considering the tabletop is a giant piece of wood. This should be secured. 5. Living room furniture - one of the stools in the living room has a broken foot, which is also dangerous for guests. 6. Carpet - the carpet on the stairs needs to be deep cleaned. It was slippery and 2 of our guests fell. 7. Balcony - some of the nails on the balcony had to be nailed down since they were sticking up. This is especially dangerous when guests bring dogs. 8. Bathroom sink - bathroom sink on the top floor does not drain 9. Toilet paper holder/towel rack - both of these in the bathroom on the top floor are not secured onto the wall and both fell off. 10. Drawer - the drawer in the second floor bathroom was not securely on the track and fell off onto guests foot.
