Movezen took over a property mgmt co I had previously hired. They seemed very on top of things and…read moretold me they were checking on my property periodically as promised. "Everything looked good" They spoke with my tenant and she loved the place. After a couple of years she moved out and Movezen said I needed to release the security deposit. I wanted pictures of my place to make sure all was good as they had told me. It wasn't good at all. There was terrible damage to the flooring. Cost: $8,000 The kitchen cabinets and drawers were all damaged and the fridge had mold in it. There was more damage but those were the big ones. Cost me $11000 to fix it all. Move zen refused to take responsibility of any of it and they wanted to make sure the tenant got all her security money back seeing as the tenant had found a new rental - through Movezen! They did everything to protect the tenant and nothing to help me at all. I had 3 rentals through them that I ended up selling because Movezen did not ever check on anything or tell me the truth. But they were very diligent at collecting payment from me.

****BEWARE**** RUN***** MOVE ZEN…read more Before an applicant can obtain any information whatsoever you MUST PAY $79 for non-refundable application fee. We found a rental, toured a rental, paid for the next step and they said "not approved, you don't meet the "homeowners' credit requirements"... WHAT? MOVE ZEN isn't exempt from FAIR HOUSING REGULATIONS or EQUAL HOUSINGS LAWS, but apparently, they think so. A homeowner doesn't set regulations, not State or Federal? It gets worse. "You're declined, Have a Good Day" is how the manager Maddie Spicuzza responded (after I ask if she would kindly call us after all was reviewed). This was how she treated us after chasing around, $240 later in application fees in ab attempt to secure housing. The GM Alicia Robbins, left her 4 messages...never returned my call. GOOD luck trying to reach anyone. NO ONE ANSWERS the phone, they ask you text them or contact them on Instagram! All of the above is accurate, truthful and shared for the purpose of saving someone else the run-around, deceit and hundreds of dollars in application fees. I apologize for those hard working managers, sure you don't deserve this review. This isn't meant to hurt you, but your "management" sure needs a RESET!!! I should have known better when asked to PAY $$$$ up front before getting any information. I should have seen RED FLAG and known better! (The 3 out of 5 star rating was for Victory Properties, they are no longer in business).

I've stayed with them multiple times and they truly have the most outstanding customer service! Dale feels like family to us and sends us updated pictures of his beautiful little baby who was being born when we once booked our stay lol! He always gives us a great deal for where we stay! And helps us out tremendously on things to do while we are there! We stayed once during a hurricane even and felt so safe and taken care of! We had no worries what so ever and were back to enjoying the sunshine the next day! If you are debating on choosing to stay with SWRE do it!! Trust me you won't regret it for a minute!

This was an unusual property with several unfriendly quirks. First is parking. It is done across…read morethe street in a third party lot. You have to go through a ridiculous procedure to register your car. The hotel should make this easier. Next the room. The front door is 90% clear glass. In order to gain some privacy, you have to pull a drape completely across another glass panel and the door. In the room there is a money making minibar situation with snacks and yet no coffee machine and no access to coffee other than the adjacent restaurant when it is open. Also there is no ice machine. How can you not have an ice machine available for your guest? And why not have one of those automatic coffee machines in the 24-hour open lobby? Very disappointed in this hotel and will not be staying here in the future.

First, the hotel itself is very cute and full of historic character. However, I wasn't expecting to…read morewalk up two full flights of stairs, with some bags since there was no elevator due to the building's age. It's a beautiful old structure, but something to keep in mind if mobility or convenience is important to you. Our unit had a few issues--most notably, the lights went out for about 30 minutes, which was frustrating. Also, our room was located right next to the building's vents or HVAC system, which made it incredibly loud throughout the night. Unfortunately, that meant very little sleep. Now for the highlight: John, the bartender at the outdoor bar. He was absolutely incredible and truly the saving grace of our stay. He doesn't just pour drinks--he crafts them based on your personal tastes. After asking a few thoughtful questions, he whipped up one-of-a-kind cocktails that were perfectly tailored to us. It's no wonder locals come by just to see him and enjoy his creations. These weren't drinks out of a menu--he was making them up on the spot, and they were some of the best I've ever had. All in all, while the accommodations had a few drawbacks, John's hospitality and talent made the experience memorable. If ARRIVE is smart, they'll do everything they can to keep him around--he's a true asset to the place!

(Some people in our group went to Carolina beach last year and they said it felt like a dive bar and Wrightsville Beach was much nicer. ) The sandwich shop next door had decent prepared sandwiches, coffee, and alcohol. We also had a good dinner at Oceanic across the street. The pool was very nice and never very busy. Our rooms were clean and the place was quiet (except for footsteps above). Each suite is individually owned so there was variability in the kitchen set up (e.g., full-sized fridge vs smaller, oven vs toaster oven, high table vs regular table) and decor of some units is more updated than others. Also, my unit had blackout drapes but others didn't. They also had beach chairs, beach towels, and sand toys available to use. WiFi was fast enough to upload pictures to social media but was slow for more data-heavy tasks. Breakfast is available in the lobby starting at 7:30. There are no tables to eat in the lobby but they have trays so that you can take the food back to your room. They had fresh fruit, juices, cold cereal, instant oatmeal, instant grits, packaged pastries, coffee (no decaf), and tea. Taphne and Steven were extremely nice and very helpful. Our reservations were complicated and changed at least twice and they were very accommodating. We booked directly (instead of booking dot com) and Taphne gave us a discount.

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable of the area! Continental breakfast was provided every morning in the lobby. The staff was friendly and helpful in advising places in which to eat and ways to get to our destination. The room was clean and quaint with a nice small & functional kitchen. The suite had two rooms, bathroom and kitchen. There was an ocean view and a nice balcony with a view of the Atlantic Ocean. Across the street was the Oceanic seafood restaurant, would recommend that to any traveler in the area. The continental breakfast was also quality. The options included boxed cereal, juices, breakfast bars, and fruit. The coffee was hand batched each morning and bags delivered to the rooms. The staff was always friendly in the morning, greeting and advising the people staying!

Hurricane Ian is bringing significant rainfall to this area for the entire long weekend.

I should have read the reviews before booking with this lame company.
