Family Wedding

We had to meet in NC for a wedding and this property was perfect for our large family of all ages! The house had the perfect amount of shared space areas to visit along with enough bedrooms that everyone had their own private space. The outside had everything you would need to stay entertained in any weather (we were there in December so we didnt get to use the pool but the outside games and firepit were excellent substitutions.) Fred took care of any questions we had quickly and left us feeling very comfortable and welcomed. We would def stay here again!

Best house in Wilmington

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!

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!

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.
