Great Family vacation

We loved our stay in Wilmington! The home had everything one could think of and more to make a memorable family vacation. The grandchildren loved the pool and the adults loved the many areas in the home to sit, visit and catch up with one another. Great host, very attentive and proactive.

Beautiful Home

We stayed from Monday to Saturday for a family gathering, and everything about our experience was wonderful. Marlene went above and beyond—she stayed in touch with us throughout our entire stay and made sure we felt completely at home. The house itself was beautiful and incredibly spacious, with plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was huge and perfect for family meals. Our whole family absolutely loved it! The pool table was a favorite, and the outdoor pool was just what we needed to relax and have fun. It truly felt like a home away from home, thanks to Marlene’s care and attention. We’re so grateful and would definitely love to come back!

Thrilled with Fun in the Sun

We were so pleased with the accommodations! Not only did the venue have all the beds, towels, sheets but they also had nice mattress toppers for the pull out beds and cot to make them more comfortable for the teens. We were a large group of family from all over the country in town for a wedding! Wonderful pots, pans and dishes for cooking too! Pool toys, games and the pool table! It’s a great place.

Perfect home for us. We didn’t want to leave!

We spent Spring Break in Wilmington with the entire family. We initially booked this property based on the number of rooms/beds and its location but we thought the pool was a nice bonus. We were pleasantly surprised at how much better it was than even the pictures show! We had plenty of space to each have privacy but lots of area to spend time altogether. We played a lot of pool, cooked many breakfasts and an excellent dinner, had a few cold plunges in the pool outside and overall had the best time. As much as we planned to go out in the area, we often we just content to stay at the house together. Our host was wonderful, provided great instructions/suggestions, and super responsive. We hope to do this again in the future.

Great Stay at Fun in the Sun

We came to Wilmington for my niece's wedding. Our group was 10 adults and one 1 year old. This house worked great for us! The location is wonderful! We all loved relaxing by the pool. The house is exactly as pictured and described. Very quiet neighborhood. The owner, Marlane, was quick to respond to all forms of communication. The only suggestion I have is it would be nice if there was a high chair. We would definitely stay at Fun in the Sun again should we return to Wilmington!

End of summer getaway

The house was perfect for us! It has everything you need and then some! I highly recommend this place. It’s in a nice neighborhood, about a 15 min. drive to the beach and not to far from downtown. It’s very cozy and comfortable. We loved all the activities the place has to offer like, swimming in the saltwater pool was amazing, playing the games in the house was really fun too! Being able to grill out is a big plus also, in my book! We give it a big double thumbs up!!!

Great stay in Wilmington

Overall our stay was wonderful. The house was big enough to sleep everyone with many fun things to do in a kind, quiet neighborhood. The only negatives we encountered were lots of pet hair (pets are allowed but we didn’t bring any) and the AC quit working downstairs part way through our stay. (Luckily it was October so not too hot.) Neither of these things were major inconveniences and Green Meadow was a very pleasant stay. Thank you!

Family rental for my daughters wedding

Good location and the upstairs rooms are much larger than the photos show. Pool is nice and the pool table was awesome to have! We used the fans and open windows downstairs to cool as a part was back ordered for the downstairs HVAC. Two cleaning observations to share: lots of dust on the top and sides of the ceiling fans in both bedrooms upstairs. Also on the inside of the door frame in the bedroom at the top of the stairs.

The rental process was very easy and the property manager was great to deal with. The location was centered between the beach and town and it was easy to get everyone.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and visit to The Wilmington area. Had a slight snag with the pool upon arrival but The owner quickly resolved the issue. Loved the back billiards room with expanded space for family games, etc. We found many useful games, beach gear, and floaties for enjoying the pool. Really liked having some bedrooms on the first floor as well as the game/TV room for the upstairs bedrooms. Great place for family vacation!
