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!

Fun in the Sun property
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!!!

End of summer getaway
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!!!

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.

Great stay in Wilmington
Overall our stay was wonderful. The house was big enough to sleep everyone with many fun things to do in a kind, quiet neighborhood. The only negatives we encountered were lots of pet hair (pets are allowed but we didn’t bring any) and the AC quit working downstairs part way through our stay. (Luckily it was October so not too hot.) Neither of these things were major inconveniences and Green Meadow was a very pleasant stay. Thank you!

Family rental for my daughters wedding
Good location and the upstairs rooms are much larger than the photos show. Pool is nice and the pool table was awesome to have! We used the fans and open windows downstairs to cool as a part was back ordered for the downstairs HVAC. Two cleaning observations to share: lots of dust on the top and sides of the ceiling fans in both bedrooms upstairs. Also on the inside of the door frame in the bedroom at the top of the stairs.

Great house for a large family!
Our family rented this property because we needed to be in Wilmington for a family qedding. this was a great find! The house was huge! The rental process was very easy and the property manager was great to deal with. The location was centered between the beach and town and it was easy to get everyone. If we ever go to Wilmington again, we will seriously consider renting this house.

Great family property within minutes of many activities and restaurants!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and visit to The Wilmington area. Had a slight snag with the pool upon arrival but The owner quickly resolved the issue. Loved the back billiards room with expanded space for family games, etc. We found many useful games, beach gear, and floaties for enjoying the pool. Really liked having some bedrooms on the first floor as well as the game/TV room for the upstairs bedrooms. Great place for family vacation!

Pool a definite plus with grandchildren. Awesome they provided the beach chairs to take to the beach, a great benefit not to have to buy or to bring with. We truly enjoyed our week there and had everything you would need home away from home.

Beautiful home!
We stayed with our kids, in-laws, and sister with her teens. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and not feel like we were on top of each other. The pool was the biggest hit for everyone! It felt so nice and cool when we had 90 degree temps! The laundry rooms on each level was so helpful. The upstairs closets are HUGE! It is only 10 minutes to the beach and less than 15 to downtown. We have rented many vacation homes and found this one to be the best we've ever stayed in! It was so clean and well kept. My only suggestion would be curtains on bedroom windows to keep everyone from waking too early when the sun shines brightly (especially little ones who like to wake up everyone else.) We plan on staying again on our next trip to Wilmington!

It has everything
Our family of 7 plus grandparents fit very comfortably in the house. Two master suites are so nice and one has a huge two head shower which my kids loved. We used the bikes daily, kids loved the pool table, ping pong and foosball table and of course the pool!!! There were lots of floats and noodles and dive toys. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was fully stocked. The house is very spacious. Grocery stores were convenient. Owner was easy to communicate with. Beaches are close by. We were there during strawberry/ blueberry season so we visited the u pick Lewis family farm only a few minutes away. We would definitely stay here again if we go to Wilmington.
