This home was the perfect home for a family who doesn't mind a less than pristine home. During our stay, we found at least 6 very large dead cockroaches and a few other smaller dead bugs throughout the home. There was also sand all over the floor and the couches were covered in sand, so you felt dirty everytime you sat down. However, none of the group members were particularly terrified by bugs and roaches, so we did not mind scooping up the dead bugs. The sand was kind of gross, but did make us feel less guilty for tracking in our own sand. The house itself comfortably slept 11 (without anybody sharing a bed). There was plenty of seating in the living room and at the kitchen bar. The kitchen was very well stocked!
The leaving instructions instructed us to load and start the dishwasher prior to our departure. On the day of arrival, we looked under the kitchen cabinet to ensure there were dishwasher pods prior to our trip to the store. There were 2 bags of dishwasher pods. On the day of departure, we loaded up the dishwasher and went to put a pod in to start it. Both bags of dishwasher pods were completely empty.
The codes for the beach access did not work, but we found ways to work around that.
The bar across the street was VERY loud until midnight every night, but because we were a younger group, we did not mind, and tended to join the party, rather than complain about it.
The location was phenomenal. The access to the beach was AMAZING. Many restaurants and bars were within 5 minutes walking distance and downtown Wilmington was only a 22 minute Uber away. All in all, I would not rent this home for a romantic weekend getaway, but would absolutely rent this home again for a large group for a casual beach weekend.
