However, Carolina Retreats was awful to deal with. They were slow to respond and made little to no attempt to resolve an issues we had. In talking with locals, we began to hear from others how poorly their properties are run. We paid additional to have the pool heated for the week and it only worked the afternoon of 2 of the 6 days. They refuse to refund any of the funds. The listing also listed a grill for use— there was no grill and in the end the only thing we got was a simple ‘sorry’ that was our mistake, not the owners. We will stick with renting from Ward.

House was clean and ready for us and… House was clean and ready for us and was exactly what was advertised to be. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have used Carolina Retreats 5 years in a row and have never been disappointed in their rentals. Thank you for wonderful service and properties.

Shore Feels Good was perfect Everything was perfect at our vacation at Shore Feels Good! The house was clean and well stocked. Perfect location and walking distance to beach. Carolina Retreats was responsive to any of my questions. Can’t wait to go back.

An unexpected disappointment The inside of the dishwasher was a foul smelling swamp of standing water, and German cockroaches were all over the kitchen at night. The house we had last year from Carolina Retreats was quite nice, but this experience will make us think twice about coming back with CR. (We’ve been coming to Topsail Island almost every year since 1991)
