Beautiful property

The property was located in a beautiful area between the beach and the marshes. The yard and deck areas were so lovely! While there was a little bit of wear and tear, the layout easily accomodates a big group, with five large bedrooms that are spread out in the house and give everyone plenty of privacy. The bedrooms had decks and sitting areas. Great views. Note that the kids' bedroom (bunk beds + trundle bed) is linked through a door to a large (parents') bedroom. Lots of sitting space separated into several rooms, and well equipped with dining supplies. Easy access to very good local restaurants and to Wilmington attractions. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: WOW what a gorgeous house! You can walk right over to the beach, or swim in the water! We had floats out there and even had a friend drop us off by boat. The yard is HUGE, great to just be out and relax. So many rooms and comfy spots to hang out. The kitchen was very large and had a lot of dishes and amenities, even oyster shuckers! My friends are already talking about making this an annual thing!!!

Neighbor's Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had 3 families stay in the house with kids ranging from 16 to 22 and it was perfect. All the couples had rooms of their own while the kids made the top floor their home for the week. The large dining table fit the group of 12 perfectly for meals and the family room allowed us to gather to watch our favorite shows. But the smaller gathering spaces allowed people to go off and escape when they wanted to. I would definitely come back to this house.

Awesome Winter Girl's Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were a group of 13 women co workers on our annual girl's weekend. The house was amazing! Lots of room. Plenty of beds and sleeping options. AMAZING VIEWS!!!! Location was perfect. Beach right across the street. Lots of parking (we had 4 cars). Very easy rental process. Close to shopping and Wilmington. Only one suggestion from the cook in the group, she wished the kitchen was a little better stocked and had more counter space. She fed 13 of us so there was a lot of food and cooking. But, for us non cooks, that was a minor detail. We all had a fabulous time and hopefully can stay here again!!! Thanks Sea Escape for a great winter weekend.

Sea La Vie Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was amazing. Great views. Intercoastal views were spectacular. We had a wedding planned for the dock but dock was changed by owners. No communication about hold up. Crew working on deck was there during our stay to complete. Wasn't really a hassle but notification would have been nice or a schedule of when they would be working and when they wouldn't be working. It wasn't much of an issue as workers were friendly and to business. Truly amazing views from all angles of the house. Ocean views, intercoastal, marshes, sunsets etc... Kitchen supplies was awesome to have especially when we needed to shuck our oysters. Thanks!

Cats Wedding at the Beach! Amazing

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Sea Tranquility for our daughters wedding! This house was perfect for the reception in the backyard and for our family to stay at during the wedding week! This house is located on the sound side and was worth every penny! Sunrise to sunset! The Sea Scapes staff was very responsive and great to work with from the beginning! I would highly recommend working with Tracie! Thanks Tracie! When we arrived the house was stocked with new towels, plenty of beach towels, laundry detergent, etc. The only down fall to the stay was that some of the cooking utensils for using the gas grill were not available. We ended up purchasing some items we thought would have been a part of stocked kitchen. Overall the week just flew by as we were just settling into the house. Another point is the house could use a little love on the outside, exterior and a few of the doors need to the deck need some adjustments. I would suggest to the owner to provide at least one or two more trash cans for garbage collection. Two is simply not enough.

Beautiful house

We enjoyed our stay at this property. A few things to note would be that the listing fits 15, where I feel like it should say it only fits 13 comfortably. There is a sun room with a pull out that was not comfortable, nor could fit 2 adults. We did use couches instead. The linens felt a little musty, and some of the couches could have used some updating. Loved the layout of the dining area, living area and outdoor spots -would have liked it to feel a bit cleaner.

The 2 small dogs who accompanied us also appreciated the rear yard. It was just a short walk through the parking lot at public beach access #3 to access the beach.

New Year’s getaway

One of the top family getaway’s we’ve ever experienced! House is gorgeous inside and out with amazing sunset views from “all” the back patios. First floor master suite was gorgeous as we woke up to a panoramic view of the intercostal every morning. It was very easy to convince our two daughters to go to bed every night as they enjoyed taking the elevator to the top floor. Initially planned on checking out on Saturday, but requested last minute for an additional night and the property mgt group was very quick to accommodate. Will be planning another trip in late 2020 for Sea Tranquility!
