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 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!!!

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!

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.
