He wants other families to enjoy the same wonderful experiences he has been able to enjoy with his family over the years and built on to the home to accommodate family reunions, weddings, corporate retreats, etc. so other groups can experience these special and memorable times.

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(32 traveler reviews)
Heavenly!
We had a weekend church ladies retreat here, and it was perfect! The house is meticulously clean with tasteful decor. Everyone felt very welcome and super comfortable. Mr. Talley and Debbie were very professional, kind and went out of their way to accomodate our every need. Our first night, we had an issue with the heater. I called the caretaker and it was taken care of immediately. No complaints here! Everything about this place is fabulous!
...Second verse; same as the first!
This was the second time I brought my team (corporate work team) to Memories. I should note that this is the ONLY home we have ever stayed in twice!
This time Mr. Talley waived our rental fee (off season, just like our previous stay). We were responsible for maintenance fees, linen, cleaning, etc, but the actual rental cost was $ 0.00. A really nice touch that the owner offered me during my checkout on our first stay. He said it was his way of living the Warren Buffet mentality of "Price is what you pay, Value is what you get", and he truly appreciated how we treated his multimillion dollar home with respect and left it very tidy.
So... here we return, one year later, and the property looked identical. Perfectly maintained (the owner's team has an eye for details: every light bulb works, every drawer and door in the kitchen cabinets is labeled with contents, etc.) Just like I said in my first review, this is not a place for college spring breakers looking to tear up the place. But for families or corporate team building, it's hard to beat! Highly recommend. We'll do it again. Thanks Gary and Team Memories!

A fine weekend
Bedrooms were as advertised
The swimming pool is not what would be characterized as a swimming pool
The great room was great
George was pleasant, helpful and a real plus for Memories.
Pleasing Everyone!
Everyone in our family loves this house, and we just had our eighth yearly get-together there. The bedroom capacity, the large, well-equipped kitchen, elevator access, and especially the amazing great-room make the house special. You can't find a bigger table, and we can (and do) all sit and eat together. The house is sparkling clean and everything works perfectly. Simply the best!
Very Enjoyable Weekend
Even when we first arrived, we were given a walk through of the whole house and any questions we had were answered which was very helpful. The house is beautiful and only a block from the beach. It was so nice to be able to walk to the beach, hangout for a while, and then go back to the house to enjoy a warm family dinner right after. Our favorite part of the house was the great room which was the kitchen and sitting area put together, it was a gigantic space and fit our whole family which was wonderful. This is where we spent most of our time, eating, playing games, and such. The house had everything we could need. All we really had to bring was food and drinks. My family gathers annually before Christmas and everyone had a great time here overall and loved the location as well. However, I could not give five stars because of a few flaws. 1. The rooftop pool was a very nice amenity to have but it was quite small and you are not allowed on the roof past 9:00. My family does stay up late and it would have been fun to go in at night. 2. We paid all the fees as well as the security deposit on time however we did not get our security deposit back until a month and almost two weeks later. We did get it back in full because we did not cause any damages but to wait that long for our money back was ridiculous. Like I said we go away every year and usually our security deposit is sent back within a few days. 3. The biggest issue was the bedrooms. The site said 15 bedrooms and I spoke to Debbie multiple times to go over and confirm that these were 15 separate bedrooms, as each couple should have their own private space. Yet when we got there it was not like that. To get to your bedroom you have to walk through the "living area" of a suite. A suite has 3-4 bedrooms in it. But 1 of those 3-4 bedrooms include the pullout bed in the living area. This was in no way private and the people who were placed here were very bothered. In actuality there were 9 real bedrooms. Although this house was beautiful and we had a great weekend, unfortunately we won't be returning just because there is not enough bedroom space.
Amazing experience!
Absolutely the most professional rental I've ever experienced (and I rent large homes three times yearly for corporate retreats). Mr Talley is a consummate professional. You get what you pay for.
This is not a rental for partying college students: this is for adults. You WILL enjoy yourself.
Map
There are many attractions within a few miles of Memories including the famous Boardwalk, Funland, the sensational amusement park on the Boardwalk owned by the same family for over 50 years, and Dolle's delicious candy that has been a Boardwalk icon for generations. And of course there are the famous Thrasher's French Fries, Kohr's Custard, and Grotto Pizza. Other popular area attractions include Jungle Jim's Adventure Park, Rooftop Putt Putt golf course on the Boardwalk overlooking the ocean, and Midway Speedway. Don't forget all those fantastic restaurants including some of our favorites, Big Fish, Nage, Bethany Blues, Jake's, Summer House, Obie's by the Sea, The Claws Crab House, Dogfish Head Brewings and Eats, Rusty Rudder and Ed's Chicken and Crabs. For the gourmet lover, we recommend The Back Porch. The Rehoboth Beach Band Stand on the Boardwalk offers free concerts for music lovers during the summer season.
Fifer's Orchard, a family owned business, that offers delicious local, organic fresh fruits and vegetables (best in town) is one short block away from Memories.
Other local restaurants and bars are within walking distance of Memories, as well as the Jolly Trolly stop just one block away that will take you to and from the boardwalk.
Tax Free outlet shopping is very popular with our guests. There are over 140 outlets located on Highway 1 just minutes by car away from Memories. If you are a AAA member, a discount coupon book is available at the outlet visitor center. If you like shopping, you will love these outlets!!!! There is something for everyone.
