Hey David! Fundamentally, our job is EASY! Make sure a home is as-advertised, clean and ready for our sunseekers arrival. Outside of Mother Nature, “the human condition” is the variable we assist with the most. Entomology, thermodynamics, veterinary medicine and even interior design are personal responsibilities our office has been tasked with advising on a case-by-case basis! We’ve got no direct lines to Mother Nature regrettably and ever more so, have no ability to guaranty personal vacation plans go untested. What we CAN guaranty is that IF something happens and our efforts can help, we certainly do! As far as for the success of your adventure, those kudos belong ENTIRELY to the positivity, planning and expectations of your party! We thank YOU for both respecting the home which served as a backdrop for these memories but even more importantly, the positivity and example you gifted of yourselves onto the Island! <3 Team SWRE!

Loved this place! Only wish the road leading to it was in better condition. Not a terrible walk to the beach. Definitely would stay here again assuming the town fixes the roads leading to it.

We had a great time. Condo was super clean and nicely decorated. Having our own garage was definitely a bonus. Condo is a short walk to the beach and only few min drive to restaurants and boardwalk.

Beautiful beach home

This place was beautifully decorated, loved the huge laundry room, and garage. The Olympics being on was an added bonus for mornings and evenings.

Great stay

We enjoyed it very much. Please had everything we needed: it was comfortable, clean and modern. Washer and dryer was a plus as well as a garage.Location is right around the corner from the beach and walkable to a couple restaurants in the area.We did have some ants in the bedroom, but it was noted in the welcome packet, so wasn't a shock.Would come back for sure.

Senior trip

Really nice place and not a far walk from the beach. Only thing is that the balcony door wouldn’t open in bedroom. Host texted back quick for any concerns I had.

Awesome Accomodations!

Where to even begin! My family and I have stayed in our fair share of vacation rentals over the past few years and Family Tides beat them all! The pictures didn’t do the property justice. We loved that as part of the cleaning process, fresh linen and towels were folded and placed in each bedroom. We’ve run into instances where we weren’t sure if the bedding and towels were fresh….not a problem here!!! The property was clean and well appointed. Only a 5 minute walk to the beach so we didn’t have to pay for parking at all. Family Tides will definitely be our go to rental for our annual beach vacation.

Up to date

Very nice property, booked for a family of five. Not enough towels or sheets to accommodate our family. Called property manager 2 days. Linen service did take care of problem. Upon checking in cleaning lady said someone would come weed whack back yard, very overgrown. Unable to use back patio/ grilling area and outdoor shower.

Nice Property and Location, but hated the roaches, spiders, ants, and clogged bathroom sink drains.

This property is nice, well stocked but insects such as large roaches, ants, spiders with clogged slow draining bathroom sinks take away from it's charm. Needs more personal attention. We must have killed a dozen or more roaches and had to spray household cleaner to combat the ants. The welcome packet talks about the probability of insects, that they have the property sprayed monthly with natural products and even gives the roaches a name "Palmetto Bugs" which if you look them up, they are roaches.

Hi Merrill thanks for the feedback! JFYI, there is a DISTINCT difference between our local palmetto bugs and brown roaches, beyond the extreme size difference. Brown roaches (which the home is not privy to) live inside and are usually of a hygienic concern with the home or a guest introducing into a home). Palmetto bugs (which you are referring to) live outside, and travel in if doors are left open and crumbs or foodstuffs dropped to feed them. Seeing one here and there is unavoidable. Seeing numerous is likely a sign of how the home was utilized during your stay. Feel free to utilize a basic web search as well! Although we did prep you with a little of the flora and fauna well in advance as you mentioned :) The NC Coast is the convergence point of wildlife as far North as Canada and as far South as Central America. Def. not home for the squeamish! :)
