Excellent 10 Days!! We loved the perfect location; just steps from the ocean! Perfect gathering place for our family! Having the separate ‘apartment’ on the lower level gave great space, too! We hope to come back next winter including even more family members❤️

Beachy mcbeach is a good place House and large deck are very nice. I fell on stairs leading to basement laundry and injured myself. And two others tripped at same location- the bottom two stairs. Coffee pot needed replacement which was done promptly on Monday morning when we requested. The outdoor shower is so very nice most of us used it instead of indoor shower all week. The kitchen is nicely furnished w tools and dishes/glassware. The bedrooms are good size and master br is large with a walk-in closet. The bathrooms are large enough The full size washer dryer are great.

Our Winter Christmas Vacation at Kure… Our Winter Christmas Vacation at Kure Beach was a success! Carolina Retreat made the process of locking down our rental at Summer Place (reviewing properties, payment process, check-in and check-out) stress free. Summer Place is an awesome oceanfront property. We couldn’t be more pleased. 😃

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)

Terrible Management Company- Terrible Management Company- We are an owner of a property managed by Carolina Retreats and once Mike Harrington sold it the service/lack of service is terrible. Our vacationers are having terrible experience with poor cleaning, broken items, etc with no response. Their property maintenance claims to inspect after every rental and we hear from tenants about a ton of sand on the floors, broken items, etc. The maintenance company even glued a loose faucet to marble rather than get under the sink and tighten the nut. Real Shoemakers. My wife emailed Danny Williams and still no response. Stay away from these people.
