Great stay! Close walk to beach. Would have liked more seating at the table. Showed 6 chairs in ad and only had 5. Very clean.

Location Great! House Dated
The location of the house was awesome. Proximity to beach was nice and the neighborhood was quiet. The house overall was dated. Needs new appliances and less furniture in the living room. Bedrooms were nice, bathrooms adequate. And the cleaning staff needs to up their game.
Really nice house, perfect location, super convenient to the beach, and a short drive to all the shops in town. Hot tub was great. The grill could stand to be updated and the outdoor shower could use a little attention. But those are minor quibbles. We’ll definitely look here first next time we visit.
Overall, everything was great. The pots/pans could use to be updated. There was a broken piece of fan laying on the deck. The ceiling fan in the living room needs to be repaired. The dishwasher was really loud, had to choose time to run it to minimize disruption. Having to bring my own sheets and towels to avoid extra costs, was not ideal. (Especially for number of beds). The house was beautiful and perfect location. The outdoor furniture was really nice to enjoy the views. We enjoyed the corn hole set for family game time.

Perfect beach house!
Perfect beach house! Would gladly stay there again.
The house was really clean, in a convenient location for the beach, and only a few miles from restaurants and stores. The check in process was super easy as was checking out.
this was a great house and we all loved it! it was also bigger than we expected from the pictures, so that was a plus.

Great property!
Everything you need! Location, rooms, baths, tvs/data, and a fully stocked kitchen. Can't speak highly enough about A Coastal Retreat. Kudos to the owners!
We really enjoyed our most recent stay at this house. The beach is in walking distance and we were not far from restaurants & grocery stores. The only reason why I did not give it a 5 star rating is the lack of communication between the homeowner and property management company. There were folks working on the house all weekend, which kind of impeded on our weekend. We did get some money back though, which I appreciated.
The property was ready early and the hot tub and elevator were prepped for us. You could tell the property hadn’t been occupied for a couple of days but there had been a recent pest spray because there were several dead or dying water bugs scattered about. Not a big deal because it’s the south and the beach, they are everywhere! We enjoyed cocktails on the porch and had perfect weather all weekend. It was a short walk to the trailer bar for night life and an even shorter walk to the beach. It was the perfect weekend!
The property was nice and clean. Close to the beach and other amenities. Plenty of space. Comfortable sleeping arrangements. I like that there are 3 bathrooms and of course the HOT TUB was awesome! The only thing, and I didn't mark down bc it was noted and is only a suggestion....I wish they would put that there are no linens, towels, etc. in BIG BOLD print. It was stated, but easily overlooked. I usually rent through AirBnB and that's always included so for someone who is not familiar with other rental companies, I skimmed this info.
The walk to the beach was so short and amazing! The neighborhood was super nice. There were a lot of food places and shops near the house! The beach wasn’t super busy which was nice. Other than on Labor Day, the beach was pretty much empty! I was hoping the shark tooth hunting at this beach would’ve been better, but we did find a few shark teeth!! But the house was super cozy, and nice. We did see a few bugs in the house, but it was not bad at all. They had a bunch of books and games at the house which was super nice! The biggest downside of the house was that the second level deck (which two of the bedrooms lead out to) has a pretty large active wasp nest. So we didn’t really go out on the deck! But other than that We would definitely stay there again! We loved it!
This house was a great size and layout for a large family! Just a short walk from a beach access, this house in a good location and neighborhood.
Amenities were found as listed, except the elevator had quit working a couple of weeks before our trip. Normally, this wouldn't have bothered me, but had been having orthopedic issues with my foot and knee and because this house is reverse floorplan, the kitchen and living area are on the top floor. So, if you have older members of the family it's gonna be a rough week! As I understood the realtor, the owners aren't repairing but taking it completely out.
Overall, a clean unit, but did feel the need to disinfect common surfaces and rewash pots and pans.
The location was great. The house not so much. There were chips in the floor, the living room ceiling is about to fall in, a window in one of the bedrooms leaks, etc. Three different maintenance people showed up during our stay. Emails from the reality company came a day or more late.
This property was wonderful. The beach house was clean. We were able to get early check in, which was fabulous, since we were only doing a quick 2 day trip from Wilmington. The hot tub was a wonderful feature, we will definitely be returning.
