Company was awesome to deal with Company was awesome to deal with. Very efficient with communication and we even got a call from a real person the day of check-in to make sure we had all the info needed to get into the property. The house was good. Excellent location and the fenced yard was great. Some attention to detail on the inside would be beneficial - molded shower head, drain and return vent were a turn off. The neighbor to the right was not friendly at all but you can't pick your neighbors!

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.

🎶 See notes on the Sea Notes 🎶 We love the Sea Notes beach house! Just the right size for my wife and I, our daughter and her husband, and our two small grandchildren. The cottage is done up prettily with white waisncot/bead-board and cozy furnishings, granite countertops in the kitchen, and good flooring throughout. We appreciated the extra bathroom and laundry room on the parking level. The covered porch and ocean view is grand, and there is a nice, easy access to the beach. We hope to come again with our son, his wife, and our other two grandchildren; and again with our youngest daughter and son-in-law!

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)

We had a lovely week We had a lovely week. The house was so clean and well-stocked. Loved having linens included. It was a pleasure dealing with Carolina Retreats as I had to change our arrival and departure times twice. Thank you! The location is very convenient. The only problem we had was being physically limited I was unable to access the beach due to no direct access that I could safely negotiate. Was able to enjoy the ocean view from the decks.
