Perfect location for dropping our daughter at school. We loved the house so much we booked again for our next visit! We had a small issue with hot water and Jody was incredibly responsive. Wonderful stay!

Attended a family funeral

The location worked well for us. The gardens were lovely. The nature walk was very nice. For a large family, the kitchen/dining was very good. Beds and linens lacked nice quality but were sufficient. Enjoyed our stay.

Martin Family Get Together

Enjoyed our weekend at Rising Sun Retreat. Property was exactly as listed. Perfect size & location for our family to gather. Loved the large, open kitchen that led to the massive deck area. The weather was the perfect temperature for us to enjoy being outside on the deck.

Short stay for a family wedding..wish we could have stayed longer. The place is absolutely beautiful, clean, convenient location, walking trails super close to UNCW. The house had everything imaginable for a large family gathering. ALL the kitchen supplies/utensils/cookware. The outside was an oasis where you could share a family dinner, swing in the porch, relax in the outdoor sofa. I can’t say enough. Stop looking and book here! We will definitely be coming back… this time for a girls weekend!

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

When we pulled into the driveway there was a car parked there. I was not aware of this prior to booking. The small shed type building was being rented at the same time of our stay. I even had communication with the owner prior to arriving and was not told about this. So the driveway needed to be shared which made it very inconvenient to me and my guest. The main property description does not state the backyard guest house would be rented at the same time as the house to different people. It was stated on the check-in instructions the day of arrival The property is in need of maintenance!! The door locks/handle are stripped. Hard time getting in and out. The deck is needs a coat of paint as well as the table that was out there. Window are dirty. Very bland inside décor The inside lighting is terrible and there are no mirrors in the bedrooms. It made it difficult for 8 people to get ready. The only mirrors are in the bathrooms. The house did accommodate 8 people not problem. This was the one good thing. The is a extreme lack of communication. The property owner did provide a text line for any issues. The response time is extremely slow. The cleaners showed up at 9:20 to clean and check-out was 10:00 VRBO customer service is disappointing!

6/10 Okay

I would describe this property as more of a solid 3-star vacation rental than the 4-5 star experience we were expecting.The home has everything you need, but it feels dated, worn, and a bit grimy. The furniture is mismatched and showing its age, several lamps are in poor condition, the bedding and pillows feel old, and the towels are stained and ready to be replaced. The kitchen is cluttered and somewhat disorganized, the dryer is extremely loud, and the shower in the primary bathroom drains slowly, causing water to pool while you’re showering. All of the items in the home are clearly of low quality and not built to withstand a rental environment.The back patio furniture is dirty and in poor condition, making the outdoor space much less inviting than the photos suggest.To the owners’ credit, they were very responsive when I notified them of these issues and immediately offered to send someone over to address them. We appreciated that. However, we were on vacation and didn’t want to spend part of our limited time coordinating maintenance visits, so we declined.None of these issues individually ruined our stay, but together they created the impression of a property that hasn’t been refreshed or well maintained. Guests looking for a more casual place to stay may find it perfectly acceptable.
