I have been a client of Tayler's for several years, and I am so thankful that I found her…read more Recently, I experienced significant neck and shoulder pain. After trying various medications prescribed by my provider without relief, I booked an emergency massage with Tayler. Literally within 30 minutes, my pain had noticeably subsided, and within a couple of days, it was completely gone. Tayler's skill, knowledge, and natural talent are truly amazing. She listens, understands what your body needs, and delivers results that make such a difference. As long as we are in the area, Tayler will absolutely have my business.

A few months ago, my regular massage therapist left town to be closer to where he lives. I asked…read morehim for a recommendation for a local (Southport/Oak Island) massage therapist. He recommended Christy Macklin @ Healing Waves Massage Therapy and mentioned that he went to her as well.

I really like a good deep tissue massage, and Christy is really one of the best. She is really gifted in this area. I felt relaxed and comfortable at all times. I plan on going back on a regular basis. I highly recommend Christy.

I would strongly caution anyone against booking with Island Retreat Spa. I was charged $175 for a…read moremassage I fully intended to attend, but the spa canceled my appointment without ever clearly confirming the cancellation with me. I initially contacted the spa to ask about canceling because I had an earlier ferry reservation. After learning I would be charged 100% of the service price, I rearranged my entire day so I could attend: I changed my ferry reservation and rescheduled a veterinary appointment in Wilmington. I then received an automated reminder confirming my 2:30 appointment, so I reasonably believed it was still scheduled. I arrived more than 30 minutes early, only to be told that the spa had decided to cancel my appointment and never had the masseuse come in that day. I received no massage, yet they still charged me the full $175. The manager on duty was dismissive and showed no interest in taking responsibility for the unclear communication. I later contacted management and gave them the opportunity to correct the situation, but they refused to refund me. Charging a customer in full for a service the business itself canceled--without clear confirmation and despite sending an appointment reminder--is completely unacceptable. What was most disappointing was not simply the mistake, but the total lack of accountability or basic customer care afterward. For a business operating in a vacation destination where guests already have to coordinate ferries and limited transportation, I expected far better. I will never book here again and would advise others not to risk it.
