Riley’s Retreat was a REAL TREAT!

I didn’t want to forget anything so I am doing this review as we head back home! Where do I start? This home was EVERYTHING my family and I hoped for! All the amenities we needed down to a fully stocked kitchen with a keurig! The pool was one of our favorite parts, the space is so peaceful and perfect for a small family, my daughter is 7. We made meals, laughed, swam, made the short walk to the beach, visited the grocery store 2 miles away and had the best time. There is no umbrella chair rentals allowed at the beach closer to the home but we ordered one for an access less than a mile away and drove over and spent the day. Can’t wait to come back and make more memories at Riley’s Retreat!

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

Cute, clean, cozy!

We thought this home was a perfect location for the 5 of us! The house was cute, clean and cozy. We liked it came with bikes- we were able to rent baskets thru the same company. The upstairs sitting area was great for morning coffee, play a game or catch a quick lunch. Short distance to beach. We would have loved the option to heat the plunge pool. We left salt/pepper/oil/measuring cup/Tupperware type containers for the next renters. The Publix in the area had everything so we were good. We sent in questions about the property in the months leading up to our visit but they didn’t respond until a couple days before we arrived after I reached out again. WiFi/Internet was disappointingly weak. Thank you!!

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.

Close to beach

The house was 0.3mi or approx a 8 min easy walk to the beach. The beach access is waist high lake water so be prepared for that. There is a shower at boardwalk. Beach was fairly nice as we have been to many of the state park beaches previous trips. As for the house, the beds were fairly comfy. The wifi was fairly decent. There were in kitchen two trash bags, three pods for dishwasher, one roll of paper towels, a sponge, a travel size Palmolive soap, one packet of laundry soap, and two dryer sheets, in the bathroom: two rolls of tp,a small shampoo, conditioner and two small soaps per bathroom. No beach towels or accessories like chairs or umbrella. You may want to pack extra of these. Kitchen is fairly well stocked with cooking supplies, grill is a bit old and there is no salt, pepper, oil, etc. so you may want those things as well. Overall we had a decent time here.

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

Very dirty house.

This house needs a cleaning, but it has great potential. The lack of cleaning pretty much ruined our stay, but if this were addressed buy the property managers the house could be a great vacation spot. The backyard is probably the best aspect of the house, very cute little Pool and Patio area with nice chairs around a little fire pit. It was freezing when we were there but otherwise I would have loved to enjoy that. There's a top floor Lounge area which also is very nice. The main floor needs the furniture cleaned and the kitchen table and chairs thrown out and replaced. The kitchen cabinets inside are disgusting, very disappointing. If these relatively simple issues were addressed the house could be great. Also, the wifi doesn't work.

Great home & great location!!

House is set up great. Close to everything. Loved the outside patio and pool. Having our own pool was a PLUS!! Screened in upper deck porch is lovely. This was great for 6 persons but availability for more. Will definitely stay again. Although close to everything, parking at the house is great but other areas having a golf cart is a plus. Plan to rent one. Would love outdoor lighting for the patio & screened porch.

Nice Home for the Week

We had a great time while staying at Riley’s Retreat. The house was nice but it would had been nice of it had been a little more stocked with basic supplies. We loved the location and the beach but it would be a little challenging walking through the lake to get to the ocean if you had small children or older adults. We did have to have the cleaning company come back and clean as when we arrived there was a beer can on the top deck laying on the floor and dry cereal under the beds. It would be nice if the pool light worked so swimming at night would be more enjoyable. Overall, I would stay here again.

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!
