About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Your Own Private Paradise w/ saltwater pool

Beautiful 5BR/3BA home with plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Super comfortable beds with all linens and towels provided. Guests will love the incredible backyard which includes a heated salt water pool in a private and tranquil setting. Relax in the hammock while the kids have a blast playing in the tree-house, zipline, and swings in the shaded play area. Grill out fresh local seafood and steaks on the gas grill and enjoy dinner in the outdoor dining space.

LOCATION

This is a great central location! Travel less than 5 miles to Wrightsville Beach (voted North Carolina's best beach) where you can sink your toes in the sand. Drive 2 miles to Mayfaire Town Center for all your shopping needs, to catch a movie, or grab a cup of coffee. Enjoy dinner and a stroll along the boardwalk in historic downtown Wilmington less then 8 miles away. If your visiting for a wedding, the house is minutes to Wrightsville Manor and Airlie gardens, popular wedding venues.

OUTDOOR AREAS

The in-ground, heated, saltwater pool surrounded by lush gardens make the backyard a dreamy oasis for fun-filled vacation days. Enjoy watching the kids play in the grassy yard while enjoying a book in the screened in area. At the very back of the property is the "kid zone" where you'll be surrounded by old growth trees providing a shady place to play. Hopscotch your way to the tree-house, zip-line, and swing set. Explore the garden shed which holds some fun outdoors activities we have left for your use as well as things donated by previous guests - beach, pool, outdoor activities. Practice free throws on the driveway basketball hoop. After a fun-filled day, roast some marsh mellows and tell stories around the backyard fire-pit.

Great time with lots of space!
This was our first time using VRBO to book a rental. Check-in was super easy and the home was clean, inviting and cozy. We loved all the space for the kids including a 2nd living space with a sectional, large beanbag and walk-in closet full of books, games and toys for all ages. The yard was great! The kids loved the pool and we appreciated the ability to lock the gate to the pool to ensure the safety of the kids. We had a couple minor issues that the host handled immediately: The kids found some nails and shards of glass on the play area and the living room tv wasn't working properly. I informed the host of these issues the 1st night of our stay and he was there the next morning. He installed a new tv in the living room and did a thorough check of the play area and also added a thick layer of mulch for added protection. We really appreciated the quick response and action. He even left us a package of muffins to enjoy during our stay. We would definitely book with them again!

Home Away from Home
This was our third time booking with the Regina’s and we can’t say enough about how pleased we are every time we stay. After this last trip we joke it has become our “home away from home”. The layout is perfect for our combined families (grandparents, two kids/spouses, and associated grandkids). Grandparents can turn it for bed early and not be disturbed by the sounds of the grandkids wreaking havoc late into the evening in the living room at the other end of the house. And the kitchen layout accommodates dinner for as many as 15 when our locally residing family members decide to join us. Close proximity to the beach and plenty to do for those days you just want to lounge around the house and relax. We always contemplate venturing out to try other rentals for future trips but routinely default back to this rental because it truly has everything we need! The homeowner has always been responsive and accommodating to all of our needs! Will likely book again for future trips!

Great stay!
Our family had a wonderful time staying at this home in Wilmington. The home was very clean and had so much space for our family. The back pool and yard area were fabulous. We had one very warm sunny weather day by the pool which was amazing. The heated pool made the pool swimmable for the kids on a cooler day. The home is located in a good neighborhood that is centrally located in Wilmington for easy access to everything! We highly recommend this home!

Wonderful
Amazing place to stay. I wish we had booked it for longer. We had an issue with no hot water and the hosts sent someone immediately to fix it so there was no interruption to our stay. The pool and all amenities were so wonderful. The house is so large and was able to easily accommodate 2 families. There are 2 separate living rooms which made relaxing and playing games easy. There are 2 different hammocks along with a fire pit area and tree house with play equipment outside. 10/10 recommend. I will book again but stay longer for sure.

Excellent Location For a Large Group
Our stay at Your Own Private Paradise was excellent. The house accommodated a large party comfortably and had great amenities. Location of the property was excellent, about equal distance to the beach or downtown Wilmington. It was out of the main stream of town in a quite suburban neighborhood. Check in and out were simple and easy. The owner walked us through everything and was responsive to our questions.

A great stay!
This property totally met our needs and expectations. Our group included 2 retired adults, their 2 adult sons and spouses, and 3 grandchildren. The propery was perfectly suited for all with great spaces inside and out for everyone. We especially enjoyed the heated salt water pool, and play areas for the kids - outside and inside. We were also in a great central location with easy access to the beach, downtown Wilmington, and many area attractions. A grocery store was just minutes from our door. Our host, Fred, was very responsive to our needs and questions. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when in the area.

Graduation celebration
My family stayed at this property when we were in town for my niece's graduation from UNCW. We had a lovely time! The location was fantastic-Wrightsville beach and the college campus were about a 5-10 minute drive from the property. And everyone enjoyed the saltwater pool and patio space! It’s very beautiful and peaceful in the backyard, we spent a lot of time out there. The house is roomy and had enough space for the 10-11 of us there to eat together and visit. The property manager was very responsive and accommodating. Our family hopes we can stay here again next time we’re in town! Highly recommend!

We were in Wilmington to celebrate 2 UNCW graduates… the house was super clean, well organized, well stocked and everything was ‘ just right’. Plenty of thoughtful items as well ( extra blankets, great kids space, etc). We had such a comfortable stay and the spaces were perfect for our gathering. We are a VRBO ‘frequent flyer’ and this one is definitely in our top 3 ever! Highly recommend!
