Perfect house for our family. Each family had their own floor and own bathroom. The beach front location is wonderful for all ages. Short walk to the beach meant no "loading up" each morning. Spent a lot of time at the beach as it was so close. We hope to go back again next year.

Simply had a wonderful Christmas time!
Our family really enjoyed spending our Christmas vacation here. It was a great getaway for our son who is stationed at MCAS New River and for the rest of us New Englanders. We watched dolphins jumping and diving and pelicans flying by. Being so close to the ocean, we could listen to and watch the waves from our rooms and from all of the lovely balconies. We especially loved relaxing in the hottub. The bedrooms were all very comfortable as was the open living/dining/kitchen area. The kitchen was well appointed, and groceries were just a few minutes away. We made some special memories here.

Just Wonderful
Just being in Sea of Love brought us all ( myself, my husband, and my very active and much traveled, 81 year young father) such joy. The house is very comfortable and attractive. Literally a few private steps from a gorgeous long beach, the ocean views from the rooms were perfect, and we fell asleep at night listening to the surf. The hot tub overlooking the ocean was a wonderful way to relax before getting dinner, the kitchen is well equipped, and we had a lot of fun watching movies and playing cards in the super comfortable living room. On our last night we walked over to the oceanfront restaurant, Splash by the Sea, where we sat out by the pool for a delicious dinner. The restaurant is part of the Villa Capriani, which has both a pool and a hot tub accessible in season to the Villas, including ours.
From the management company’s very helpful and fast response to the location, we loved our stay at Sea of Love, and will be back.

Excellent Location
This trip was originally planned as a fishing trip for our husbands and us wives were tagging along but we all ended up having a blast! The location is PERFECT!! Right on the beach and an easy walk to the pier. The house was plenty spacious enough for our 4 families with 5 kids. We were fortunate enough to also have beautiful weather the entire time we were there. There a souvenir shops and a food lion all within about an 8-10 minutes drive from the property. There was some mold in a few of the bathrooms but I sent a personal email to the property owners and she was quick to email me back to let me know that they would handle that. We would definitely go back to the property in the future!

Great place, clean, few steps from the beach, enjoyed the hot tub!
We had a great time staying at a well kept place, few steps from the beach and a wonderful hot tub on the deck overlooking the waterfront. Couldn’t have asked for more. WiFi didn’t work on the upper levels and the chairs were sticky but otherwise had a great time.
