Sea Coast Rentals

“I originally wasn’t planning to complain about the property, but after SeaCoast Rentals refused to help or waive the $50 parking pass fee after we accidentally left it in our car, I feel compelled to share our experience. We spent over $1,300 for two nights, yet the GM told me it was my responsibility and that I “should have read the rules.” (Yes, it does state they charge $50 for not leaving the printed paper in the unit.) Unit condition: Extremely disappointing. From the moment we entered, there was a strong smell resembling urine/wet, rotting wood, along with cigarette/cigar odor. The floors had sand on them, the kitchen was poorly cleaned with crumbs and grime throughout, and the bathroom and refrigerator were dirty. Both decks were unsanded and full of splinter hazards. For the price paid, the condition and customer service were unacceptable.”

“Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing due to numerous issues that weren’t disclosed in the listing. The property had multiple maintenance and safety concerns, including soft spots in the flooring, broken doors and hardware, visible mold and musty odor, cockroach activity, cleanliness issues, inadequate air conditioning, and a protruding nail on the boardwalk that caused an injury. The most serious issue occurred when an exterior handrail failed while being used by a member of our group over the age of 70. This raised significant concerns about the property's overall safety and upkeep. We reported an issue during our stay but were disappointed with the response and lack of meaningful resolution. While the location may work for some travelers, our experience didn’t meet expectations. Prospective guests should carefully consider whether the condition of the property aligns with their expectations, particularly if traveling with children, older adults, or anyone with mobility concerns.”

“We were disappointed with our stay, especially given the price. The house was not properly prepared: we found dead water bugs throughout our stay, the microwave did not work, king-size sheets were missing and never provided, a nightstand was dirty, the downstairs shower had little to no hot water, and the pool alarm had no batteries. Management addressed some issues after we reported them, but the number of problems suggested the property had not been thoroughly inspected before our arrival. Although management was responsive, we would have appreciated more acknowledgment and an apology rather than explanations. As frequent renters in North and South Carolina, we have never experienced this many issues at one property. The house has potential, but we would not stay here again and would be hesitant to rent another property managed by Sea Coast Rentals.”

“The property was very expensive for what was included. While the location was perfect and the home was very spacious, we had to provide our own toilet paper, paper towels, soap, etc. and make our own beds upon arrival. For the price we paid, these services should have been included. The floors were also dirty when we arrived and the fridge not cleaned out. Checkin time was 4 pm and when asked about an early checkin, they incurred an additional $100 fee even though the home would be ready anyway. If we didn’t want to pay the additional fee, the original checkin time changed to between 4-6pm. Very nice house in a great location but be prepared to spend extra money and put in extra work for services that should be included in an already very expensive listing.”

“The setting and beach were wonderful. Lovely sitting on third floor porch to watch sunrise. Kitchen well stocked with dishes, utensils, pots/pans, however, no spices, salt pepper, oil, foil etc. - you'll need to bring everything you need to cook anything. First time I have had to make and unmake the bed - linens are old/worn. Third floor mattress is motel grade. For >$1300/night I would expect at least toilet paper to be provided! No dishsoap, dishwasher soap, garbage bags, toiletries....you will need to stock the entire beach house. Coffee maker not specified, asked & given wrong info. Messy pile of beach stuff in shed, some broken, dirty. Dog policy changed from booking to our stay - they tried to get additional fees - luckily Airbnb had a copy of the policy at booking and we were not charged. Made to sign a separate rental lease that differs from terms on Airbnb. Big rental company that does not care about hospitality. First time I would not stay at a place again.”

“The Airbnb is spacious and has plenty of rooms and bathrooms. The location is great, very walkable , close to the beach and restaurants. On the other hand, the Airbnb provides very little amenities. Although we appreciate the advance notice from the host for bringing toilet paper, paper towels , bath soap, and hand soap these are things I believe the host should atleast have one to two per room. Some of the bathrooms did not have hand soap. There was also a bathroom where the shower liner had mildew on it. One of the bedrooms had dog hair on the bed. Additionally the airbnb provides packaged linens and the guests have to make their own beds on arrival. Overall, it is still a good option for large groups , but more of basic amenities would be nice!”

“The room was nice, easy access to the beach. It was far away from most things including stores, gas, entertainment. There was constantly someone running beach and forth above us all hours of the day and night. The pool was closed for 2 days to clean. The rooms and living room were spacious. The master bathroom was cramped. The elevator seemed very old and dangerous.”

“For the price I was upset after arriving. Carpets inside of the house felt dirty to walk on and were stained. Had a maintenance issue and I had to call 3 times for updates on the one issue. Under the impression it was the entire house but someone else stays on the third level so it did not truly feel like a place we can enjoy to the fullest. I do think it is over priced for what you pay.”

“Not worth the price! The units entry door lock would not work and we got locked out multiple times. Pans in the kitchen were dirty with old food still left on them. The bedroom was extremely hot and we needed to run an extra fan our entire stay to circulate airflow. The bathroom sink and shower DID NOT drain, you had to stand in dirty water. We contacted maintenance and were told they would come a day later, when this was our only bathroom. We had to purchase drano to try and unclog it. When they came they showed up unannounced and went in our unit without our consent. We only knew they were there because they moved stuff in the bathroom. What if someone was up there alone? Or with a child? Or better yet, someone was in the shower? We felt very unsafe coming back to the unit each day and night after this. Additionally, the sliding door to the unit did not lock at all. Parking was not guaranteed so it caused us to limit going out of the unit so we didn’t loose a parking spot.”

“This listing is very misleading. This is only a 1 bedroom condo with a second bed in the livingroom. The ac was broken for over 24hrs while we had a child with us the sheets were stained and had to request new sheets. The pool pass was not present, that also had to be requested. This is also not a private rental that is taken care this property is manage through a 3rd party company. Would not return to this property !!!”
