Water Street Retreat 04

Location

Whoever I talked to on the phone before arriving and trying to get the door unlocked was very rude and not friendly at all. Food was left behind from previous renters and I had to wash the sheets before sleeping in the bed because it smelled like men’s cologne. We bought a blanket/pillows and didn’t touch the comforter because it looked like it hadn’t been washed ever along with the shams. The location was great but the housekeeping needs some work!!

There was no breakfast. Location is good.

Getting unloaded was a nightmare. I fell because there isn't a proper unloading zone. Getting into the room was way more difficult than it should be. The touch pad is difficult to active and confusing to operate.

The view was amazing

Nothing

Perfect location right on the water with a beautiful view and within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants downtown.

Parking in the nearby garage about a block and a half away. Not a big deal if you don’t mind the walk, but leaving our car unattended overnight with empty spaces in the building lot was a little discouraging.

The location was absolutely great! Overlooking the river and boardwalk, very walkable to bars, shops, restaurants... And an easy drive to Airlie Gardens, Wrightsville, Kure, and Carolina Beach. I do recommend this property!

Thankfully, there is a provision (15 minutes) to unload/load bags at the property. Parking away from the property is really the only slightly negative aspect, but parking was paid by the hosts, and it was close by (1 or 2 blocks) in a secure, covered parking deck.

Nearby restaurants. Bedroom TV was smart.

Drunkards in the allies, bars dumping their bottles at 2:30 am, cable was slow, parking a block and a half away, not being allowed in until ID was checked despite emails and conversations. Also, no full-size fridge or dishwasher.
