We loved this house! The extra platters/ bowl's they had really helped with cooking etc. beds were all comfortable & plenty of towels etc. Great location for getting to the beach too. Loved all the balconies and furniture was very comfortable. Everything was super clean too.

This home is outstanding and that is why we have rented it three years in a row and plan to rent it in 2025. We always enjoy our stay and it is in a perfect location for all of the things we enjoy doing.

We stayed here for a wedding at the property and everything was extremely easy. We rented a golf cart, but it would have been nice if one was provided. Pool and beach access was vey close especially with golf cart. Very laid back relaxing family vacation.

We love this location! Very short walk to the beach and the walkway out back at night is magical!
The beds were comfortable and there is plenty of space for two families.

We enjoyed our stay @Sweet Retreat. Place was comfortable(not too fancy for beach) & had everything we needed. Enjoyed meals on screened porch & our dog loved being out there! Not too far of walk to beach where we met with family staying in Carillon as well. Had wagon, chairs, & more to enjoy on beach. We assumed they were working on a bit of floor damage as it was partially covered with rugs. Hopefully that was just a time factor. Overall, very nice comfortable, relaxing cottage.

I don't know if the property owner reads these, but the property management company that you're using is not doing a good job. The sofa bed was covered in dirt and debri when we arrived. The beds didn't have appropriately sized sheets and the fitted sheets were coming off the bed while sleeping due to not being the correct size. There was not enough silverware in the kitchen for our group of 7 which is surprising since the space is advertised to have a capacity for 11. The silverware that is there is a very odd assortment of styles and sizes. This was surprising since a basic set could be purchased at Target for $10 to avoid that problem. The floor is buckling in the den which has gotten to a point that may be a safety hazard.
We filed all of these complaints with the support phone number upon arrival. We were told they would send local staff to resolve the issues. We followed up twice a day for the remainder of our stay each time being told that someone was on their way. Help never arrived. We received a call after we had left the property from local management saying that they had just received the ticket.
We were promised a refund of the cleaning fee and have seen today that what was provided was actually a Vacasa credit and not a refund as promised. We paid additional fees to Vacasa in our booking which they were unwilling to refund which is extremely disappointing since we did not receive any of the service or support that their app and website publicize as available. We will not be booking with Vacasa again. We have never run into such disorganization booking through other property management sites.
You have a lovely property and your family photos add such a nice touch to the space. I would really advise you to have a conversation with your support staff to avoid having future guests with similar experiences.
The community is quaint and idyllic. The walk to the beach is not bad at all! The house has two great porches with fans and one is screened in. The porches face a lovely walkway between the neighboring houses with trees and plenty of shade.
The two main beds in the upstairs rooms are comfortable. The day bed upstairs and bunk bed downstairs are extremely uncomfortable for adults to sleep on. They will likely need to be replaced soon. You may even want to look into mattress toppers in the meantime. The sofa bed is surprisingly nice as it is a foam mattress and there aren't springs poking into your back. As I mentioned above, it was excessively dirty upon our arrival, so you may want to bring a handheld vaccuum with you to be prepared to clean.

This was a cottage located at the back of Caroline beach community. The actual beach was six minutes walk away until toes in the sand. The cottage was extremely clean! The decor was absolutely beautiful. We really loved that It was pet friendly! The only suggestion I have is to make sure and upgrade the TVs to smart TVs. it was hard to watch cable when you were used to streaming television.

Sweet Retreat for sisters’ trip
Had a fabulous visit and the property is so well equipped( no hairdryer but that was sorted for us). Bedrooms were large with own balconies. Lovely house in a safe, secure area with easy access to the beach(7 min walk). I flew in from England to meet my sister who lives in Atlanta - perfect get away.

Great Property
We really enjoyed our stay! We have been to this community several times with family but never got a house just for us until this time and we will be returning! The home was clean, the setup was excellent and it was very welcoming!

Great house for families with kids
We loved our stay. The location is perfect for kids to run and play, chasing lizards and frogs. Toys, games and puzzles are available. We even added a puzzle to the collection. Easy walk to pool, park or beach. House has all the kitchen, bar tools needed. Plenty of bath towels. Minor issues with grill but no major complaints. We had a blast.

Great stay in cute house!
Sweet Retreat was a super cute house to stay in! Its only a short walk from the beach and comes with two beach chairs (which where located extremely close to the beach entrance). The corner house location is great! The house is decorated with charming decor and pet-friendly. We have stayed in several houses in Carillons cottage area and its not as updated as others - but its still incredibly cozy and charming. Vacassa was amazing to work with! We would love to stay here again!

Clean but broken appliances
We stayed in Sweet Retreat and when we arrived the place was nice and clean. We planned on cooking during our stay due to Covid, so I grocery shopped for the entire week ($$$). However, the oven did not work, the stove top was hit or miss and the dishwasher did not work. I called property management and the next day a repair man evaluated both appliances and said that both were old and that he had to order a part for the Oven/Stove (taking several days to get) and that the dishwasher needed to be replaced. As a result, we had to spend a lot of extra money eating out for most of our meals (with my elderly mom who should not have been eating out) and I had to hand wash dishes all week. I was promised a partial refund and it has been several days with no refund. The property was pretty and clean but the appliances were very outdated and the owner/manager should have known that they needed to be fixed/replaced way before we got there. Also, the mattresses in the downstairs bedroom were about 2 inches thin and not comfortable AT ALL.

Great place for a family
We loved the Carillon community. The kitchen was well equipped with almost everything we needed to cook meals or grill. We loved the outdoor porches because they added living space and the pools were so nice. Beach access was a little hard, but that’s the only complaint. We loved our entire visit.

Long weekend getaway
We loved the location of this house and the space it provided for my family of 7. Carillon is nice and private and with Publix right a Roos the street you don’t have to go anywhere. We had a small issue with the fridge (temp doesn’t seem to stay consistent) but maintenance came out to check very quickly.
