Home Away From Home

We had a wonderful vacation with our family and two Yorkies! The Mermaid’s Retreat had everything we needed to feel right at home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to meal prep, cook and clean. Check in/check out was a breeze. Walking distance to the boardwalk.

Unfortunately I cannot give a 5 star rating. The condo itself was fine, location was good however the beach was not accessible from the condo. We were not aware of the project underway on the beach and the fact that there was an enormous pipe blocking beach access. I feel that this is something that the owner should have told us before booking. We had to walk a mile in either direction to gain access to the water. Not acceptable! I realize that the owner is in the rental business to make money but they should have given us the option to decline based on the condition of the beach.We will not return or recommend Carolina Beach to anyone.

The condo was exactly as advertised. Nice balcony off of the living room and view of water. Very convenient location. We could walk to restaurants. My only concern was the lack of soap in either of the bathrooms.
