🎶 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!

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.

Our beach trip to Surf City, Topsail Island Our recent trip to Surf City on Topsail beach was excellent! The beach rental was perfect. The team at Carolina Retreats was responsive and communication was easy. We love the beach house - location, furnishings, and the ease of access was terrific. We look forward to our next trip and will definitely plan to book with Carolina Retreats again. A "shout-out" to Angel - you are a great asset and enjoyed working with you!

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.

Good Tide-ings This was an excellent property, the house was everything we expected. The single issue we had was reported on Sunday and even tho the property management company website says they are open on Sunday, we got no response until Monday, which was fine, not an urgent issue and was handled Monday perfectly. Would definitely rent this property again!
