Fantastic House

We enjoyed the home. It was in a good location yet felt like we were isolated from the city. The house was pleasantly appealing from the kidney shaped pool with a fireplace to the screened-in front porch. The landscaping was absolutely beautiful and the house was pet-friendly. I would recommend this house to anyone and would rent it again if I needed a place to stay.

River Road Retreat Review

Great stay at the River Road Retreat. We only stayed 2 nights, but it was a great experience. House was very nice and well kept on both the outside and inside. Wish we could’ve experienced it for longer! Great location and close to various beaches in the area. Overall a really good time. Would stay there again for sure.

Large home in scenic area

We had a wonderful stay. The beds are comfortable. The pool and hot tub were warm. We loved the large fireplace that provided much needed heat in the winter. My only suggestion is to leave some lights on upon arrival. It was pitch black when we arrived and it was very difficult to see anything. Both outside and inside was dark.

Amazing place to stay

We used this property as our family vacation house this year, its 9 of us in total and it was amazing .All of the rooms are so big , we had more than enough room . The home is very well maintained and extremely clean .The pool , out door tv and pond was a big hit. The heated pool was great for night swimming . My 4 year old grandson was in love with hot tub. Brandon ( the host) responded to every message i sent him extremely fast and even allowed us to check in at 1 since we arrived early . Its only 10 mins from the Ocean which was a huge plus. We will be staying here again . It is such a beautiful property, My husband said over and over how he would love to buy it.

Nice Family Getaway

Property was really nice in a very quiet neighborhood close to everything you need. Home appeared to have some recent interior updates. We really enjoyed the place. Grandsons loved the pool and kayaks. No luck with fishing but the grounds were beautiful and so peaceful. The one thing that would make it better would be an upstairs bathroom.

Perfect Getaway

This is a beautiful property with perfect amenities and 10 minutes from Carolina Beach. It’s surrounded by the Cape Fear so lots of opportunity to kayak. It’s so nice we never wanted to leave. I wouldn’t mind visiting the same property every year!

We booked a wonderful vacation at this location. With small kids and older adults this was the perfect balance for a vacation. The location was clean, isolated but close to all the great things if you wanted to go out. We had the most wonderful time and love this location.
