  Our family had the distinct pleasure of staying in this beautiful home in mid-April. From the moment we entered this gorgeous property we immediately relaxed and felt the cares of the world slip away...the soothing music piped through every room of the house certainly helped! We were in Wilmington for our niece's wedding and were delighted to find a property that could accommodate all of us (5 adults, 5 teen/young adult children and visits from the local cousins) and was spacious enough that we all had our own corners to escape to for some quiet time. We enjoyed the beach, the bicycles, kayaking, the hot tub, and the pool, naps on the hammocks and many, many decks. The two 16 year old boys made the loft their "man cave" for the week chatting, watching TV, and playing games. We also treated the teens to a surfing lesson...great fun! The owners were a delight to work with and they really have thought of everything to make your stay special.

  I am not sure where to begin. This was our first family vacation. The house provided everyone with more than enough room. We had 7 adults and 4 kids under 3. The kids loved walking down the pier to the marsh. The adults could watch watch from one of the numerous decks. The beach is so close you can feel the spray from the waves. OK, not really but it was very close. The house is simply stunning, and the views were spectacular.We were provided with information on local restaurants, shops and culture. I can't wait to come back to the beach house next year.

  This has been the best vacation, by far, that we have ever had. I contribute this to the wonderful house..."The Beach House". We arrived tired and stressed from our busy lives with 3 children, 2 cats and 1 dog. Needless to say, we were in desperate need of a vacation. When we arrived, the house was spotless and decorated beautifully. We, along with our extended family, were able to spread out and have plenty of privacy. The bedrooms were stocked with everything we needed...pillows, (we rented the sheets), tv's, netflix and two laptops were available. (the beds were comfy too...which is important for us old folks with achy backs) We immediately unpacked and cooked a big family dinner. The kitchen was well stocked, also. The views were out of this world. There are views of the beach and the sound. And the sunsets......WOW. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. We crabbed from the dock and had a delicious dinner from our catch. The walk to the beach was to convenient. Loved the bathhouse to rinse our feet. The elevator was so helpful with bringing up luggage and groceries. We all had out first experience with a shuffleboard tournament. Old and young had a blast. Most importantly, the ability for everyone to have their own space, not be cramped and have quiet time alone was by far the best quality of this house. Even with kids in the house, there was always a room or porch where one could get away and have complete silence. I cannot say enough good things about our vacation. Only bad thing was when we had to leave. But, I've already booked the house for our summer vacation. Thank you for the memories...

  My three sons and I spent a wonderful week in your gorgeous beach home. While January is not the perfect month for going to the beach, our beautiful accommodations, pool, and hot tub made up for it. When I saw the pictures on the website I knew the house was nice, but the pictures did not even come close to displaying all the nice touches throughout the house, the attention to detail, a well stocked kitchen, luxurious liens, fluffy towels, impeccable views, comfortable beds, immaculately clean and the elevator. What a nice touch. It sure made taking suitcases upstairs a breeze. I rated it only 5 stars but I give it a 10. We will definitely be staying there again.

  From the moment we stepped in the front door and heard the soft music beckoning , until the last walk on the beach , we have had the best vacation ever. Today is our last day and I'm finding it hard to pack up and say goodbye. The house in itself is beautiful, and when they say it has views from every room they are not kidding, but in addition to all of that, the owners have gone above and beyond to think of everything that would make a stay here more enjoyable. From beach toys, beach chairs, bikes, ping pong table, shuffleboard,internet,movies ,even a kayak the list goes on. My husband and I met our 2 daughters with their husbands and kids (12 people total) here and the whole experience exceeded all of our expectations. With the different levels everyone had their own space and the main floor is so spacious it was perfect for our nightly family get togethers. The kitchen is very well stocked and we had the best time cooking huge feasts that went on for hours. The beach is just across the street and easily accessible by a nice walkway. One day was a little cloudy and the kids had a blast splashing around in the indoor pool, while us adults relaxed in the hot tub. The owner was very helpful both prior to our arrival (answering all of our many questions) and after we arrived. When we couldnt get the stereo to work we contacted her and were a little surprised to get her on the first try. She was able to quickly diagnose the problem without making us feel too stupid. (something to do with a POWER button) I guess all good things must come to an end, but am already starting to plan our next vacation here! CANT WAIT!!!

  Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your beautiful beach home. Our family was very comfortable and enjoyed all the amenities. We appreciate how well-stocked your home was and all the extra touches. This is also a spectacular location. We hope to have a chance to visit here again. Many thanks

  My husband and I rented this house before Thanksgiving. We had specifically searched for a home with an indoor pool since we were going to the beach in Nov. I asked before booking (3 weeks prior to arrival) if the pool was heated. I was told that the pool did have a heater but they had not used it yet and would check it that week. Having not heard back that there were any issues with the heater and the fact that it is a reasonable expectation that a million dollar+ home would have all the amenities in working order, I booked the house a few days later having allowed them time to check it. Obviously they found a problem with the heater, had plenty of time to have it fixed before our arrival but didn't bother. They informed us of the issue 2 days before our trip. We had already booked a 2 night stay at a cabin on the way there (nonrefundable at that point), rented a van and taken time off work. They promised to have it fixed Tues morning (we were arriving Sun). We reluctantly excepted the terms rather than cancel our entire vacation. After arriving we found that the hot tub was also not working and the jacuzzi tub in the master would not hold water. We phoned the owners brother in law Sun. evening and told him the hot tub was not working. He informed us that he could not look at until after he went fishing on Mon. Clearly our vacation and stay were the least of his concerns. At 6 pm Mon. evening we emailed the owner to inform her that he never showed up. He finally came over late Mon. evening, told my husband it was fixed and left. We immediately went down to use it but it was still not working. We called him, he came back and finally admitted it was broke as well. He said the pool company would look at it Tues. morning. The pool company came Tues, did not fix the pool but did fix the hot tub. The pool was finally fixed Wed. afternoon but took until late into the evening to heat enough to swim. We spent the first 4 out of 6 days of our vacation emailing and phoning the owner and property manager as well as hosting repair men instead of enjoying our vacation. When I told the owner they we expected a partial refund since none of the advertised amenities were in working order for most our stay, she said "if your unhappy with the house, you can leave". We drove 11 hours each way and her solution was to simply leave. We have rented million+ vacation homes all over the world without any problems or complaints. This was truly a nightmare!

  Owner response: This renter knew prior to making the reservation that the pool heater had to be replaced. She asked for a 30% discount , which we gave her, since the pool heater would not be able to be replaced until 3 days after she arrived. ” Upon her arrival on Sunday , I began getting emails regarding how unhappy she was that the pool was not heater and stating this was the main reason for renting the house

  My husband and I spent a long weekend in this gorgeous house with his extended family on the occasion of our niece's wedding in Wilmington. First off, it was great to find such a wonderful place where we could all visit together, rather than everyone being in hotel rooms somewhere. I can't say enough about how comfortable, and beautiful this house is. Each room is individualized and beautifully decorated. And when they say that there is a view from every deck/window, they aren't kidding. Even though the house is across the road from the beach, since the access road is right in front of the house, there is a clear view of the ocean, which gets better, the higher you go in the house. We had the capacity number of 13 persons in the house, but we never felt crowded. There are plenty of porches, front and back, and a very accommodating living room, dining room and kitchen to spread out in. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely house to anyone looking for a great time at the beach.
