By far, the best Vrbo house experience I’ve ever had!!! I was so relieved the owner doesn’t make the tenants wash sheets, vacuum and basically do all the work you’re paying the cleaning company to do before you leave. Gorgeous house, very clean, easy to get into, loved the pool, owner responded very quickly to anything I asked. We had a great time. I hope we can rent this house again soon.

Peace and quiet

We stayed at the property with our adult daughters and their spouses and our 2 year old grandaughter as well as our dog. We had plenty of room for all of us. We loved the quiet neighborhood and the large screened in patio overlooking the pond. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. There are 2 kayaks to use on the pond. My grandaughter loved the koi pond! We all loved the pool. nly 10 min to the beach. With the dog we could go before 9am and after 5 pm.

Fantastic House

We enjoyed the home. It was in a good location yet felt like we were isolated from the city. The house was pleasantly appealing from the kidney shaped pool with a fireplace to the screened-in front porch. The landscaping was absolutely beautiful and the house was pet-friendly. I would recommend this house to anyone and would rent it again if I needed a place to stay.

River Road Retreat Review

Great stay at the River Road Retreat. We only stayed 2 nights, but it was a great experience. House was very nice and well kept on both the outside and inside. Wish we could’ve experienced it for longer! Great location and close to various beaches in the area. Overall a really good time. Would stay there again for sure.

Comfortable Stay with Great Support

We had a lovely stay at this property over the July holiday week. The house was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our family (including our dog). The quiet neighborhood was a great home base for exploring Wilmington and nearby beaches.Check-in was seamless with clear instructions and a working door code. The management team was proactive and responsive throughout, even checking in after our arrival and offering help as needed.We did have one hiccup. After a pool maintenance visit, the water became discolored and cloudy. While it looked concerning at first, the property management team quickly confirmed it was safe, and the issue gradually cleared over the day or so. Their quick replies and willingness to troubleshoot was appreciated.Overall, this was a great place to relax. Clean, well-prepared, and pet-friendly. We'd stay again and recommend it to others.

Large home in scenic area

We had a wonderful stay. The beds are comfortable. The pool and hot tub were warm. We loved the large fireplace that provided much needed heat in the winter. My only suggestion is to leave some lights on upon arrival. It was pitch black when we arrived and it was very difficult to see anything. Both outside and inside was dark.

Amazing place to stay

We used this property as our family vacation house this year, its 9 of us in total and it was amazing .All of the rooms are so big , we had more than enough room . The home is very well maintained and extremely clean .The pool , out door tv and pond was a big hit. The heated pool was great for night swimming . My 4 year old grandson was in love with hot tub. Brandon ( the host) responded to every message i sent him extremely fast and even allowed us to check in at 1 since we arrived early . Its only 10 mins from the Ocean which was a huge plus. We will be staying here again . It is such a beautiful property, My husband said over and over how he would love to buy it.

Great weekend staycation!

We had a lovely stay at the River Road Retreat. The home is well equipped with kitchen tools, pool accessories, toiletries and comfy beds. The use of the pool, hot tub, kayaks and large screened deck made for many great memories. Communication was fast and helpful with the hosts and the location was close to the beach and restaurants yet we felt like it was private and peaceful. We loved our stay here and are already discussing our return!
