Loved our stay! Would come again!
We loved staying at Riley's Retreat during our vacation. The location was fantastic; one block from 30a and 2 blocks from the beach. Off street parking for our cars. The backyard pool and porch were quite enjoyable. The interior was clean and well decorated. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cups, and plates, and coffee machine (bring your own paper filters). My favorite space was the rooftop porch on the 3rd floor. It was comfortable and completely screened in. Communication with the staff was fast and friendly. I was concerned about the pool being clean from past reviews, but the management team had a pool service come out twice during our stay to keep the pool clean. I would definitely consider coming back! 5 stars.

Relaxing getaway
The place was so cute and perfect for a relaxing stay close to the beach and all the fun of 30A. The only issue we had was while the place does technically sleep 8, the pull out bed is terrible and I would not stay with more than 6 people. I can sleep anywhere and this bed felt terrible. Also we did not have a comforter for the pull out just basic sheets. We had to call and get more dropped off but this was handled easily and with great responsive communication

Disappointed
Property needs some upkeep and better cleaning between guest. We were really disappointed the pool chemistry was so bad it was unsafe to swim in the Chlorine was 22+ and the PH was 6.6 it would have burned our skin and eyeballs. It took three days to have a pool operator address the problem so bring a test kit and know how to use it if you plan on swimming in the pool.

Charming beach cottage
Lovely home but there were no supplies, not even salt and pepper or laundry detergent. I have never been to a verb that didn't have the basics or a welcome note or bottle of wine. There is also a roach and ant problem that need resolution. All of this is easily remedied

We had a great time. The only problem was the roaches. Maybe you need to spray for them. Thank you.

This was our first time to go to the Seagrove Beach area. We enjoyed the house, pool, beach and being in the 30A area. We will return.

Perfect Getaway!
This property was fantastic. Very clean and well stocked home in 30A. Beach access was a short walk and it is in a nice, quiet area - which was wonderful for relaxing on the porch. The pool was also a great feature for the times that we didn't want to walk to the beach. Would highly recommend and will be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at Riley’s retreat
Great location, close enough to walk to the beach, a trading company store, and a few restaurants. The house itself was clean and SUPER comfortable. However the pool wasn’t cleaned on schedule upon our arrival, and the management company was not the greatest at communicating with us about it and basically ignored our request to have it cleaned for the first 3 days of our stay after attempted to contact them MULTIPLE times. I will say they did refund us a little bit of money for the inconvenience upon our check out which was greatly appreciated that they attempted to Right their wrong. It was just a bummer that my kiddos missed out on swimming for first few days. Overall though we had a lovely trip and would definitely come back!

30A family vacation.
Overall the house was great and exactly as described. Very clean. Plenty of room for a family of 4. We loved being able to hang out and cool off by the pool after the beach. Would have been nice to have a few necessities for the house already there such as laundry detergent, coffee, condiments, etc. but no big deal The pool light also did not work, nor is there a strong light out back so it was pretty dark once the sun went down but that wasn’t an issue really. The biggest issue we found was the beach access is not convenient especially if you have kids. There are two beach accesses within the neighborhood streets, one that leads you to the side of a lake that you have to wade in waist deep water with all you belongings, the other that is about another half mile down the road that leads you to a private beach in which you have to trek about half a mile back the opposite way. We ended up just driving down the road to a easy beach access close to seaside the next day.
