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!

We stayed at one of Carolina Beach properties for a few days on our vacation and overall it was…read moregreat! The rental company staff communicated well and was friendly. The location of the property was unbeatable - it was waterfront and you were literally 30 steps away from the beach. The ocean views were fantastic (see the attached photos) and you could hear waves rushing to the shore all day long. There's also a balcony with a table and chairs where you could enjoy breakfasts or dinners and stare at the Atlantic Ocean. The unit itself was big and was 50/50 updated. The living room was pretty modern but bathroom wasn't. The kitchen cabinets were new but appliances were old. Overall, the condo was pretty spacious, cozy, and it had everything you needed. The only things that could make our stay better would be: - Cleaner floors. I walked around the apartment barefoot and there was sand and other dirt particles in all rooms. - Quieter HVAC. The unit seemed to have an old A/C system and when it was on, it was pretty loud. It would be great to have a quiet airflow system as I think sometimes it was louder than the waves outside. - A Smart TV. The TV in the living room didn't have Netflix or other streaming services - only cable. It's not really that big of a deal as you have amazing vistas outside and a plenty of places to go, but if you thought about relaxing and watching your favorite movie in the evening you're out of luck. Taking everything into account, you are getting great value for the money. This unit was definitely not as expensive as some other waterfront condos and I'd definitely recommend renting it. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and we would definitely come back next time we are visiting Wilmington!

I am not usually a complainer but it is very hard not to with the service I received from this…read morecompany! I guess I can start when my first roommate and I applied to live in our new house. After two weeks of waiting to hear back from Sweyer, we still had no idea whether our applications were approved or not. So, we called and emailed them for some answers. At first, we got a response saying that there were a lot of applications that had come in so it would be a few more days before we would hear anything back. A few days passed and my roommate and I started to worry because we needed to find a place soon before our previous leases were up and we had to move out! So, we called again and left multiple messages and got no call back. After many phone calls and emails we finally got in touch with someone and were approved to move in! After this experience, I left a bad review on Sweyer's Facebook and a day or two later I got a phone call from a woman that worked for Sweyer asking me to take the review down and they would give me a $50 gift card. LOL! Bribing tenants to take down reviews...that's a new one that I had never experienced before! Once my roommate and I moved in to our new home, we realized that there was no washer and dryer. In the advertisement online it said that our house did not come with a washer and dryer but our lease said that they would be included. Hmmm...more communication errors? So, we contacted Laura (our property manager) and she let us know that they would be delivering a washer and dryer within the next few days. We also noticed when we moved in that all of our lights were flickering all the time. So, once again, I contacted Laura and she gave us the number for an electrician who came out and fixed the lights. Little did we know that WE would have to pay for every single light bulb that was fixed. Shouldn't that be something Sweyer takes care of? Especially because we had just moved in! Once my first roommate moved out, another moved in. Shortly after she had moved in I found out that her and her boyfriend (who was living there without me knowing) were doing some really serious drugs in our house. A few days later, my roommates boyfriend tried breaking in to my bedroom window while I was home alone. So, I let Sweyer know and what did they do? Nothing. They had a meeting with me and expressed their concerns and let me know that they may or may not do an inspection of the home but if any drugs were found we would BOTH be evicted. They never came to do the inspection so I had to kick my roommate out myself. After my second roommate was gone, I found a new roommate who went through all the application paperwork and while we were working on getting her approved, Sweyer let me know that I needed to give my 60 day notice (I still had about 75 days left in the house). So, I did and right after that, Sweyer let me know that my new roommate would no longer be able to move in because I had given my notice. WHAT?! Shouldn't I have been informed of this since we were in the process of getting the new roommate on the lease?? When I emailed Marcy (Laura's secretary?) asking why she hadn't let me know about this rule and where in the lease this is stated I got NO response back. Ever. Lastly, be sure when you move out you are ready to pay Sweyer another $300 to get your carpets PROFESSIONALLY cleaned, paint the walls, replace air filters, replace drip pans, etc. Yes, this is your responsibility. Not the rental companies. Tell me how this makes sense?? All in all, Laura was quite helpful. Marcy, not so much. I can honestly say that I will NEVER do business with Sweyer Property Management again!

My experience with Cheryl Lowery was the scariest most intimidating real estate experience I have…read moreever had. I could not believe that someone in a professional position would show up and threaten their own client because she was fired for lack of communication. This woman showed up to let me in and screamed at me that she just wanted to come and see the person who fired her. She threatened me by stating I made a lot of enemies and she hopes our paths don't cross again. Since I fired her they never should have crossed. It is unsafe and psychotic that she didn't brush off the fact she was fired and came to saint me and take pictures and videos. My house was supposed to have closed so I did some gardening waiting fir deed. She screams at me that I had no right doing landscape when I don't even own the home. This is a realtor speaking. Beware in a time of lots of sales her actions will one day bite her. Attached is a real picture of what she looks like unrecognizable from her business photo.

I didn't even bother to call because I was harassed about the $100 cleaning deposit along with the 1700 I had to pay for the moldy, musty home. Granted this is a Pet Friendly rental; I would expect that since I was told at 415pm that our rental was not ready, the cleaning crew has been cleaning the home since 630 that morning. My husband and I normally bring our dog but she passed away. The home was advertised as having a nice grill and nice yard. Well my husband bought us some brisket burgers and hot dogs for the 4th of July; opened the grill there were hundreds of large roaches with a rotting smell. Not water bugs, Roaches! So we fried the burgers! The shower had nasty moldy towels. Furniture was covered in dog hair. Shower had a bad leak, the roof had a leak and the house just smelled so moldy! Very unhappy! The weather was great and the beach was amazing! Too bad about the home

The key to maintaining a good working relationship such as this is to keep very open communication; and that is exactly how they seem to approach their business. We are extremely pleased them. As far as refunds during weather or viral related issues-it is ultimately ALWAYS the property owner's CHOICE! CBR brings the request/situation to the property owner and THEY decide. Most will do their darnedest to honor a renters request. Some property owners simply are not financially able to just refund monies and this instruct CBR to deny the requests. While we feel it's always best to try to see it as though it was us who were the renters.

They stated that "the owner of the home had switched over to a 7 night minimum stay on the same day I booked and the system didn't sync in time." A lie to cover for themselves so that they do not have to take accountability. Now my family is out a vacation home after making travel arrangements. Do not book with this company.

We were able to book Sea Colony B2 around 11 AM and we were able to check in and pick up our keys by 4 PM that same day. The staff member who checked us in was very helpful and friendly. The unit we rented was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. Check out at the end of our stay was a breeze. Everyone in the group enjoyed our stay.f we had not found a rental through this company we had planned on switching flights and heading home early because of how bad our current rental was. I am very lucky to have found this place to rent from, it literally saved our vacation. Looking forward to renting from Intracoastal again in the future when I am in Carolina Beach. Thanks again!
