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. Thus the name Memories was decided on for the home.

AMAZING HOME WITH 5 STAR EVERYTHING.
Debbie and Mr.Talley,
Hi. I don't know where to begin....I must start with "thank you" for everything that you and Mr. Talley did for my family. Our stay at the Memories House will never, ever be forgotten. You went above and beyond with every little detail to make our stay perfect. The house was absolutely spectacular. From the giant great room, the dining room table that accommodated my entire family, to the individual suites, and not to mention the unbelievable rooftop deck/jacuzzi/pool. The dipping pool was perfect after a long day at the beach. The individual suites were perfect for all four of our families. (Ages 2-72). The elevator made it easy to bring luggage into the house as well as groceries for the week. And can I mention, George, the caretaker... the sweeter, most attentive person. He was available 24/7 if needed.
Debbie-From the moment we spoke, I felt as if I was speaking to a life long friend. You were always warm, friendly, and more than accommodating. You treated me like I was your family...Debbie answered every single question we had about ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!!!
You and Mr. Talley made my mother's dream come true. As I previously mentioned, my mother is a breast cancer survivor and has wanted to do this for the last three years. We were fortunate enough this year, (thanks to you and Mr. Talley) to make her dreams come true and go on a family vacation all together.
I am a believer in "paying it forward" and I live my life that way. I never expect anything back from it...
Paying it forward came full circle for me and my family...with your kindness and generosity...and it will never be forgotten.
Wonderful!!
I had a gurp of 22 people stay here for my Wedding. The house was very large and spacoius. Everyone had a great time. The great living room was amazing, perfect for a large party. It was nice having two living spaces so the day of the wedding the groomsmen were downstairs while the bridesmaids were at the top level.Did not get a chance to use the pool since it was cold out, but did use the hot tub which was great (there are 2 of them). I had such a wonderful stay and can't wait to come back!
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!
-Brian
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!
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.
