Pirates Retreat

Everything about this place is amazing. The backyard was perfect for our dinners at night with the family. We will be looking for this every year from now on.

Great time with family

Our time on Carolina Beach and the Pirates Retreat was fabulous. The perfect place to visit family in Wilmington. We enjoyed the way the house was decorated. Perfect place for kids and pets. We appreciated the fenced yard for our small dog. Also, the fire pit was very much enjoyed. The master bed was too small however.

Family Getaway

Over all the house was good. The floors could have been cleaned. Pirates Retreat was located in a good location with short walk to beach, boardwalk, restaurants, and shops. The backyard was a wonderful hangout for adults and children. It is a shame that condos are being built behind the house witch will probably cut down on privacy in backyard.
