This is the third year we have used Natural Retreats for our vacation home. The communication from this organization is top-notch. This year we experienced Idalia and Natural Retreats was in constant contact with us to make sure we were safe. We will continue to use Natural Retreats to book our vacations over all the other choices in the future.

Our family had a great time. The home is well supplied in the kitchen and a wonderful outdoor living space. The beach is beautiful but they are a lot of oyster shells so swimming with little ones is less than ideal. Our family enjoys surf fishing so most of our time was spent at Hunting Island. Overall it was a great trip!

Everything was as promised. The cleanliness and all the "extra" touches of toiletries for bath and kitchen was a plus. Only one issue was with the trash can liners in kitchen. They were too small to fit kitchen trash can and we had to use some 13 gallon bags we had brought with us. Also, with all the many, many utensils in the kitchen we found it kind of funny that there was no pizza cutter. LOL
Had a wonderful time!

We had a great time at the beach house! The house was very nice. We spent most of the time there because my husband loved fishing right there at the beach. It was our first time bringing our dogs on a trip with us and I was nervous. It worked out just fine! We brought our own crate but it was nice to know they had an extra crate if needed. Overall we would stay there again.

Natural Retreat had houses that were what I was looking for. I got a nice beachfront house that we could take the dogs to and they would be safe on the wrap around deck. There was good response to my questions. There were packets of everything we might need for washing clothes, dishes, cleaning counters, hair supplies, lotion, everything like that we would need. The house was totally clean and well supplied. This is our 3rd time getting a vacation home from NR and we are thrilled.

The house was excellent no housekeeping issue at all...there was a few maintenance issues the toilet ran very slow, the sleeper sofa was broken, and the shower outside has a broken handle nothing too major. The biggest issue is the sand..especially in low tide is literally quicksand if you're not careful you'll sink and get stuck. They warn about the oyster beds and sea turtles but no mention of quicksand!

We had a lovely stay at Sea Pines. The location was spectacular, just steps from the ocean. The house was well appointed, with just about everything we might h needed. A first aid kit could not be located when my husband cut himself in the kitchen (I had a small one in my backpack, so it was OK). Other than that we had absolutely everything we might need. I would love to come back with a larger group.

Great view
We booked this residence as a home base for extended family member to visit our son as he graduated from USMC Parris Island. It was a short visit with family coming from out of state. We usually vacation in the less crowded beach areas of NC/SC, so this home was right in our wheel house. The area is somewhat rural and very low key, just what we like. The house found to be just as described in the description and photos. Oftentimes the online photos are not current and do not accurately represent the homes condition. This home was beautiful, very well equipped and impeccably clean. The kitchen had plenty of good quality utensils and dinnerware. The only thing to consider are if you have children or separate adults, there are no twin or bunk beds. Not a problem, just a consideration. Also, remember this house is found front not ocean front. Again, not a problem . The outdoor entertainment area was fantastic especially considering the local roadside seafood markets. We will be back.

The house is nice and in a great location if you want to explore the low country. About an hour and a half to Charleston and Savannah for day trips. Near Beaufort and Hunting Island State Park. The bed in the master is comfortable and there are plenty of towels. We spent a lot of time on the deck listening to the water.

We stayed for a week in late July and it was gorgeous! Great for dogs, with three different places we could hose them off after playing in the beach. Saw dolphins in the sound one morning. Had everything we needed to stay entertained and relaxed!

Awesome stay!
This was a great family vacation for our family. Sleeps 8 (We had 7).
It was fully stocked with everything you need in the kitchen, and nice linens, plus extras. Electronics through the house are updated, as are the appliances. Not much for swimming off the beach (Oyster beds) but the included pass to Hunting Island State park which has a fabulous swimming beach and is about a 15 min drive was perfect. House was clean!! If you are not into crowds this is the place for you. House stayed cool during the heat wave we just had. And pretty sure the house is soundproof, as we did not hear the active (and somewhat loud) crickets and "night noises" at all, nor did we hear the two thunderstorms that happened. Giving us a very peaceful retreat. We all enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location. Wonderful experience.
I rented this house for my husband's 40th birthday. It was exactly what we were looking for: a beach house where we could relax with friends for a few days. The house is right on top of the beach and has amazing views from inside the house too. there are so many spots to hangout outside that it really kept things fun. I would definitely go back!

Wonderful Stay
I visited this home in February with my family and we had a relaxing visit. We loved using the firepit and we roasted hot dogs and smores one night. We took several walks along the beach in the evenings as well. We loved the Hunting Island park pass that was included and enjoyed going up to the lighthouse for the great views! The mattress in the master is a foam mattress similar to a Tempur-pedic and was very comfy. Kitchen was well appointed. Would certainly return. We had some beautiful sunrises and even sunsets!

Beachfront Paradise!
If your looking for a relaxing home with plenty of outdoor space, a fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds in the perfect location, Carolina Sunrise fits the bill. Tasteful décor, modern conveniences, and a private beach round out the vacation experience that our family was looking for. Located in a secluded neighborhood yet close to the State Park, restaurants, grocery and family activities. The multi-level decks and gazebo offer the ideal place for outdoor entertainment and relaxation.
A wonderful fire-pit and charcoal BBQ provided the opportunity for us to enjoy cooking outdoors and relaxing the evening away by the fire listening to the sounds of the waves. The kids loved the private beach area and spent many hours collecting seashells and trying their hand at catching some local blue crab.
Our family highly recommends this property, and Natural Retreats, as the guest service was outstanding, the home sparkling clean, and their attention to detail provided us with the perfect stress-free vacation. TIP: If you are looking for the "best" ever BBQ joint, stop at the Island BBQ Pit along the parkway and enjoy some of the best pulled pork and ribs in South Carolina. Nothing fancy but the BBQ is to die for.

Perfect getaway!
My husband and I were looking for the perfect long weekend getaway with our four-legged companion to de-stress, and oh boy, did we find a gem. There was a great mixture of outdoor and indoor living space. The view is unbelievable, and hearing the waves during high tide was just what we were looking for. It's a great spot for a short, 20-minute walk along the beach, multiple times a day, and it felt like you had the place to yourself. While we enjoyed the seclusion and amenities that the house offered, it was still close enough to partake in great local dives and a short trip to Beaufort. Truly hope to come back soon.

Lovely place!
We visited Carolina Sunrise for 4 nights in February. It was wonderful! The house was great and the wraparound deck, gazebo and tiled fire pit area were great. The pass for Hunting Island State Park was a huge bonus as we spent time there every day. I would love to return for another visit if life allows!

Everything You Need
My friend and I stayed first week of July. The views (especially sunrise) are remarkable. This home has everything you need. Kitchen is well appointed with anything you need to fix your meals. Bedrooms and Bathrooms comfortable. Outside there are plenty of chairs, tables, hammock, outside shower and hoses, great fire pit, and the gazebo was so awesome to sit in and have dinner, play cards, listen to music, and look at the beautiful surroundings. We saw dolphins, deer, birds, and lots of wild life and sea life. This is a very natural place that you felt was your own private sanctuary. The area has restaurants a few driving minutes away. We especially enjoyed Foolish Frog and Q on the Bay. Boondocks was closest and good also. A day trip to Savannah is only about 1 hour away. Local golf courses in area also great. I agree with other reviews that this is not a swimming beach, but the Hunting Beach pass provided allows you access to a huge swimming beach a few minutes away. Natural Retreats were great to work with from the staging of the home when we arrived (nice and cool with music playing and blinds open to the view of the sea) to their responsiveness the one time we needed them, I highly recommend them.

Wonderful Place
If you are looking for a relaxing private home on the intercostal waterway Port Royal Sound, this is place. I have never stayed on such a waterway and it is amazing to see. Hunting Island State Park is just down the road with park passes if you want to go to the Ocean side. Pictures do not do this house justice. It is awesome.
I would stay again and recommend it to anyone.
