We rented a property from Lewis Realty for a two week period, and after having our bikes stolen, and informing them of such, we had a home invasion a few days later which was physical, and there was an assault. Having to call 911, deal with police, hide in the bathroom while my partner had to fight off an intruder, should equate to receiving a full refund for our stay. For the mere fact, we could have been murdered. Lewis Realty was only concerned about money, and made a complete mockery of the situation despite the police report and the man being held on first degree burglary charges. Completely disrespectful, Lewis realty insinuated that we set the invasion up to scam them. He insinuated we knew the home invader. There was literally blood all over the walls, when we had to leave this place. This company is an utter joke, unprofessional and should not be on city council's webpage for Topsail tourism. Money aside, the owner's reaction to our experience is entirely unethical. Shameful! DO NOT give them your business, they are only concerned with money- even if it it literally blood money!

Go through Air BnB where you will be protected!

EDITED TO RESPOND TO THE ONCE AGAIN BLATANT DISREGARD TO THE FACT OUR HOME WAS INVADED:
Please look at his response below.. he is denying what occurred in the home, and now trying to blame us for it? No where did we violate a rental agreement by someone breaking into the home!!!! It was 9pm when the house was broken into, our front door was not locked, bc we still had to get things out of the car, and that is neither here or there... by NC law, that is still considered breaking and entering, buddy!! Also, the crime rates of topsail island have nothing to do with the facts of what occurred either... I should have taken photos of the blood on the wall, but to be very honest I was more concerned with getting out of that dump of a place. Not to mention the water bug infestation .

NOW ON THE REFUND:
Never did we mention "helping our wallet", we should be refunded bc of the events that occurred in the rental, ETHICALLY that is what would be done. We also did not stay the remainder of our visit!
WE HAVE NOT BEEN REFUNDED A DOLLAR FROM LEWIS REALTY. HE IS LYING. NOT A SINGLE CENT.

Also, fun fact .. you are not a lawyer, just a thief behind a realtor license.
