Great Home and Location for a Golf Getaway

My friends and I have been staying at the Nolan family's "Hibernian Hideaway" for the past several years for our annual golf trip. The quality of courses within approximately 30-40 minutes, easily rival courses at the "Golf Mecca" known as Myrtle Beach, SC, while considerably easier and cheaper to get to from our central NJ homes. The full kitchen and outside grill equate to huge savings in food costs. Ending each night by the lagoon, with a cabernet and a cigar is the perfect way to end one great day after another. Not one to wish my life away, I am truly looking forward to staying at the Nolan home in November 2025, when we head south for our 15th golf trip. Thank You Patrick for making everything go very smoothly.

Accommodating host for special circumstances

Due to a family emergency we were delayed 3 days in arriving. Our host graciously offered us to stay 3 days beyond our end date. We didn't do that because we had other commitments, but we thought the offer was above and beyond.

Perfect Headquarters for Five Day Four Night Golf Trip

Seven of my friends and I have been staying at the Nolan residence each November for the past several years for our annual golf trip. Accommodations are perfect for our group. Location puts us within 30 minutes of an array of outstanding golf courses in Delaware and Ocean City, MD. Full kitchen and outside grill make for huge cost savings on food. Always look forward to sipping cabernet and enjoying a Cuban cigar dockside each night. We can always count on a visit from the resident Blue Heron who patrols the lagoon.

Peaceful Relaxation

Our first time staying in South Bethany (always Bethany Beach). The house was perfect for our crew. We could spread out and not be under each others feet. It was very much like home for the week. We didn’t even use all the sleep space upstairs and there is a lot of room. The house was very clean and tidy. The outdoor space is fantastic. Absolutely loved being on the canal and being able to sit out there and relax. The neighborhood is peaceful and serene.

Great location in South Bethany with "Extras"

Great location in South Bethany, a half mile to the beach. Bikes at the property and the two parking tags were awesome, making it easy to take beach stuff over or head back home midday and relax. Canoe at the house was great to use on the canals! Plenty of separate spaces on the first floor to have your own space after too much family time. Upstairs bathroom was very nicely updated and outdoor shower was great after the beach. No issues with hot water or water pressure even with two concurrent showers. Kitchen is dated, but serviceable. Tons of pots and pans and utensils, but we would have preferred 3 nice pans instead of 25 old/scratched pans. The "hallway" bedroom was a little tough to manage with little kids and adults with different bed (and wake up) times, although the kids loved the bunk beds. Overall amazing location and excellent "extras" beyond the house. Thanks to Patrick for all the communication, directions etc. If we had had a problem, I have no doubt that he would have handled it quickly.

Love this place!

This is one of the best rentals we have stayed in through VRBO. The house was immaculate when we arrived. The owner answered all of our questions immediately and was always very responsive. The house is in a great location where you can walk to the beach (or short drive with the parking pass) and a few restaurants/deli. The house is spacious, and we love the layout and the fact that there are two separate living spaces so some of us could work remotely in a quiet room while others watched TV or played games. The screened-in porch is an added bonus and a perfect place to hang out and watch some of the boats go by along the canal. I can't wait to go back!

Perfect Location for Great Golf Trip

This is the 12th year my friends and I have been coming to the Delaware/Ocean City area for a five-day golf trip. Back in 2011, we contemplated a trip Myrtle Beach, SC. Instead, my friend made arrangements for us to play several courses in this area. We quickly learned that there was no need to spend all that extra money when there are so many great courses in Delaware/Ocean City area. We discovered the Nolan property in 2019. It is prefect in so many ways for our group of eight. To save money, we bring food and cook breakfast and dinner each day. Nothing better than filet mignon prepared on the outside grill. Nights are capped off with a cocktail and a cigar by the lagoon. Already looking forward to next year's trip. Will most definitely staying at the Nolan property. PS Golfers, save money by doing your own bookings at the courses. Allows you to also pick your own courses, rather than have a service add in a few so-so courses. Rum Pointe, Glen Riddle (Man O' War) and Eagles Landing in MD; Baywood Greens and Plantation Lakes (DE), all are Five Star courses.

We enjoyed our family vacation at this property. There was plenty of space for our 3 generational family: 3-4 living spaces and eating areas, 2 bathrooms plus outdoor shower made it comfortable.

Lovely house in a great location - better than the photos!

This house was perfect for an extended working vacation for my husband, adult kids, and me. It is much larger than the photos. There are two separate living areas so my husband and I could work remotely in a quiet location while our older kids could hang out in the open kitchen/family room. Plenty of room upstairs for everyone to sleep. We loved hanging out every evening on the screened-in porch overlooking the canal. I've stayed in a number of VRBOs and the owner was more responsive and accommodating than any other I have rented from. Great location and easy walk/bike-ride to beach!

Perfect Property in Perfect Location for a golf Trip

We have stayed at the Nolan property in South Bethany Beach for our annual golf trip on several occasions. Home is neat, clean with all the conveniences of home. This year we enjoyed the recently renovated bathroom on the sevens floor. Shower was outstanding. There were eight of us. We played neighboring high-end golf courses in Delaware and Ocean City. No need to go to Myrtle Beach. The home sits on a lagoon, which is patrolled by a Blue Heron; very cool. We we will be back next year and the year after that...etc. Thank you Patrick.
