Everything was as noted, very clean, highly recommended.

This vacation home was perfect. Very short walk to the beach. We had a very relaxing week with no problems. The house was very clean.

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.

We were here for a graduation. The rental was very nice and clean. Will definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed the location and property. Enough space to keep the kids occupied despite cold rainy weather during our time.

Convenient to beach and super nice accommodations.

We loved our weekend at A Coastal Retreat! We had an issue with the hot tub and the rental company was very responsive and quick to help!

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.

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.

Easy to get to, clean, and beach access was perfect. The neighborhood was quiet and we had a wonderful time!

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 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.

Very Nice

We loved this place it seemed to have everything we needed including the left over beach toys. It was very close to the beach. Plenty of space for our group of 8 people. 3 adult moms, two older teens and 3 elementary age kids.

Would definitely rent again

The Good: Overall, this house is really nice and spacious. and well-cared for. If you have older folks with you who don't do stairs well, the Beach Butler elevator lift was a great addition for our trip. Distance to the beach was as-advertised and not too bad a walk. Room sizes are really good and beds were comfy. Even though the Murphy bed is a queen, its a cheap mattress and not a very good bed for people with sensitive backs. It would have been much better to have the King bed in this room since it had a dedicated bathroom. But it all worked out. Though we didn't use any of it, the house had plenty of beach play items and a corn hole set. It was a nice touch. Kitchen was very well stocked with anything and everything we needed. Living room furniture was plentiful and able to provide a seating area for everyone in the evenings. Air conditioning worked very well and no issues with that. The Bad: Lower floor walk in foyer area where the beach gear is located had a number of pesky cockroaches roaming around. I recall seeing a previous review on the house and had mentioned the roach issues. To be fair, there were no incidents inside the upper floors/bedrooms/kitchen area. Only in the first floor walk in area. 3 of the bedroom windows that have walk out decks face directly into the sun in the mornings, and the curtains hardly contain light or heat. The morning room temps were almost unbearable and would heat up like a furnace even with the AC cranked. Would be so much more efficient if the owners put in Blackout curtains to curtail the light and heat. I say this so you are prepared to be awakened at 7am with blinding light and heat. Communications with the realty company was not too bad and efficient. My biggest complaint was the unreasonable adjustment of check-in and check out times. The claim here is that COVID-19 cleaning practices are in place and they need more time to do extra items. However, I happened to stumble up on the cleaning crew just prior to them finishing and I asked about their new COVID cleaning processes, and I received a blank stare. I was also told that the hot tub was drained and filled for every weekly client. I found that this was not the case as there was lots of sand on the bottom of the hot tub and the 1 time we used it, it had a foamy goo of sunscreen and funk. So I don't think this was actually the case. Overall, the place was a fun stay and I would certainly not hesitate to rent this place again.

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 house is beautiful and had plenty of space! The view of the canal and location was great and as expected. The walk to the beach was short. The view of the ocean was very small. We had a leak in the kitchen sink halfway through the week. It was so bad that we needed to turn off the water. I called Ward Realty to make them aware of the problem right away and asked for a call back. I did not receive a response that day. Later that evening we found roaches in the kitchen cabinets. I emailed Ward Realty through the guest page and addressed the leak again and alerted them about the roaches. The next morning I received an email and then a call from maintenance. They had someone out to fix the sink before noon and had someone out to treat for the roaches at the same time. Unfortunately, the roaches are a problem because of the warm weather and humidity. The leaking sink brought them into the kitchen. We still saw them later in week. The refrigerator started making a loud humming sound the last night of our stay. It eventually stopped. If I had seen the roaches the first night we might not have stayed. There was also a house across the street being built, the construction sounds weren't the most pleasant. There were smart TVs in every room which was a huge perk. Everything we needed for the kitchen supplies were there. The beds were comfortable. The Murphy bed was not, but no real surprise there. The washer and dryer worked great, better then any I have used before. The hot tube was wonderful!. The doors to the butler elevator need repairs, but if functioned, was safe and severed our purpose well. I enjoyed the vacation and the home is certainly beautiful. It could use a few updates and minor repairs.

The house was a wonderful size. We loved all the balconies on every floor. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The neighborhood was very quiet and the view of the waterway was very nice. Short walk to the beach. We would surely rent this property again. Thank you!
