We were in Wilmington for Thanksgiving! The house was a great place to gather. The kitchen was equiped with everything to easily make the holiday dinner. The house is conveniently situated near the shopping district which we appreciated for Black Friday. We'd definitely rent again
The host was welcoming and very responsive to our questions and needs. The property had space to play together or chill separately if desired. Grandkids enjoyed the outdoor space, as well as the pool table.
Marlene is an excellent host to work with and the house was great. She worked with us as we were out there for my daughters wedding and other things and she was great with responding and accommodating our needs
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.
This property is wondeful. We had bad weather while there but the house helped us stay entertained with all its amenities. Its also very roomy. I would highly recommend!
We were in town for our sons wedding and this house was perfect for our large family! The beds were so comfortable, kitchen nicley equipped and of course the kids loved the pool! Marlane was a perfect host!
We loved the amount of bathrooms and the amenities. The house was fully stocked with everything you would have at your own home. The pool was nice and the pool table was a hit. We would definitely stay there again.
We were in Wilmington to attend a wedding and this home was perfect for our family. It was centrally located for our needs and had lots of room for us to spread out. It was very well equipped and we loved the pool.
Love this house, love. But I love the pool more. My family spent 80% of our time in the pool and had a wonderful time. Extended family of 13 were there and we never felt crowded. We had plenty of space for everyone. Will definitely stay here again.

Great vacation house for our large extended family gathering over Christmas!
Lots of space for kids and adults of all ages to hang out, watch movies, etc. Nice pool table. Spacious kitchen and dining areas to accommodate large groups.
The house and property were perfect for our stay in Wilmington. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us to spread out and relax inside and out. Quiet neighborhood and proximity to downtown were both a plus. Would definitely stay there again if we find our way back to the area.
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.
We were in Wilmington for our sons wedding. This was the perfect house for our family & friends. The house is very spacious & will sleep 16 people. Everyone had a bed. We had a great time and would recommend this rental to anyone needing extra space. Kids loved the pool & there were plenty of games for everyone to enjoy. We would definitely stay here again. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!
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!
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!!!
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!
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.
Group of 15. Age ranges from 8 month to Adult. The pool table & pool were a big hit. Kitchen was well equipped but could use a pantry for food storage. Charger for bluetooth speaker was delivered promptly but the hammock was never replaced. Some of the pool furniture is breaking.

Hi Dorothy. the 2 lounge chairs and hammock were fine 2 weeks prior when we were there. Unfortunately the group before you never let us know they broke during their stay. We did replace the 2 lounge chairs the next day (we still had 4 lounge chairs plus numerous regular outdoor chairs and 10 beach chairs). The hammock stand was ordered but did not come in for a week. It is a large house and we are supplying a lot of amenities. Unfortunately with large groups things sometimes break. Glad you enjoyed the pool and pool table.
The house was clean, set up and ready for us, everything we needed and more. Such a beautiful rental and it truly blessed us to be able to be there as a family as we celebrated my Grandson's wedding. Thank you.
This was perfect for us. All kinds of activities for families of all ages. House and finishings were up to date. Enough space to host local family members for dinner, fun, etc. Location excellent to get to all parts of Wilmington.
