House was well loved. Pots and pans could use a replacement but kitchen was well stocked, house overall was clean had plenty of full size beds for more adults to sleep comfortably. I think they have an animal living there or staying occasionally so just a heads up for those with allergies! Owner was responsive and we had no issues!! Great rental!
We loved our stay here! There was plenty of room to socialize as well as private space. The kitchen was well stocked. Staying directly across from the tennis courts lended a pleasant sound of hard work mixed with fun throughout the day. The pool is lovely. Early morning walks around the facility are highly recommended. Everything we needed was close by. We highly recommend.
Kitchen was very comfortable for cooking. What I really like was the furniture protection for pets and the toys that was available. I didn't see all of the house since my wife and I had the bedroom on the first floor but it was a great house for our small group of 4 that according to the listing could accomadate 14. Also, the price for right for off season.
This was our second stay (and probably not our last) here. The house was clean and well maintained. Communications with Vincent were quick and easy. The location makes it convenient to the beach and all that Bethany and Ocean View have to offer. We highly recommend.
The house was very nice & clean. Unfortunately the patio was not clean, needs update. First floor Master bedroom tv did not work. Would certainly consider staying there again. Hopefully these issues are addressed. Ty
Convenient location to amenities.
The only big problem was that our friends who stayed up stairs were not happy because it was so hot because the a/c didn’t reach the upper level. So our friends in the 2 upper bedrooms slept aweful for 5 nights and were upset because of the heat.it was 76 upstairs and 96 outsider.so they would never come again to this house.
The home was almost perfect. The first floor rugs and family room sofa needed a good, deep cleaning which the owner said was coming. Other than that it was perfect. Beds were comfy, plenty of room for 11 people. Comfortable sofas and chairs. Screened in back porch, back and front porch. Great location close to pool and restaurant. The beach only a few miles. We will stay again. Thank you Vince!
Another great stay at October Glory. We love staying here. Vincent makes sure everything is taken care of . Appreciate all the little things that are stocked and the thought and care into the renters stay so it is comfortable. Love the new over the door hooks in master bedroom. Always clean and ready.
Vincent is very quick to reply to all questions. The only thing we missed was the american flag on the front of the house when we pulled up! We always identified the house by that! Thanks for another great visit. Very appreciative of all! We will be back soon!
Property was exactly as advertised .Location is great close to the beach, wine vineyard and short ride to shoping outlets. Neighborhood was quiet, great for a family get away. Home was located directly across from the club house with community amenities. I did not get a chance to use the pool or courts but staff at the club house was very friendly and helpful. My party was 4 adults and a large dog. family room and kitchen was spacious and would accommodate a large party. Fully stocked kitchen (even had basic cooking spices ) which was great for us because we prefer to cook our meals rather than do take out. There was also a 24 hour grocery store within 5 min or so which came in handy for last minute pick ups. The neighbor hood was dog friendly and every one we encounter had there pup on a leash ,which was a ++ for our reactive pup. Didn't really have any reason to contact the owner except for check in, and we received a quick response. To give a honest review I should mention the negatives. Honestly can't say there were any negatives. I did notice minor blemishes on the carpet as expected for a pet/kid friendly property . But even with that --there was absolutely NO PET SMELL. unlike other pet friendly places .Great overall experience and would definitely stay again for future trips
We absolutely loved our stay and plan to be back next year. Our house was beautifully decorated, and very spacious and comfortable for an extended family of 11. It was a perfect home away from home! Our host was also easy to communicate with, and always quick to respond to any question we had. I give them 5 stars! Both the indoor and outdoor pools were a huge hit with our family.
The house was perfect!!! It was much bigger than anticipated!!! Would def recommend staying here, the owner was super quick and responsive and very accommodating!!
The host is very gracious! Answered questions when we had them. There was a mix up with cleaning company but host made it right. The bedrooms are roomy, the number of bathrooms awesome. House is spacious and up to date. Located across from pool and close to beach!
We had a fabulous time! This home is well maintained and lovely. It has a well stocked kitchen and was perfect for our two families. We would love to stay here again next year!
Our family loved our stay in Ocean View. The home was lovely, with plenty of room for everyone. The beach is a quick 10 minute drive. Our kids loved both the indoor and outdoor pools. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a very enjoyable stay at this property and hope to return again. The close proximity to the Pavilion was great for the little ones. Layout works well for multiple families, and pet friendly to boot. Well-maintained and upgraded - owner takes good care of all the details. Multiple living spaces on the first floor are a real plus. Very pleasant, walkable community with close proximity to comfortable beach town, and access to lots of things to do.
We have stayed here 3 times now. Vincent is a wonderful host and always replies immediately. Our family loves coming here. We really hope to continue to do so every year.
We had a wonderful time. The home was well situated and well maintained. Misled on the common condiments that were to be available... there were none, not even salt.
We had a lovely stay for a reunion of our high school friends. The home was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Vince was very responsive to our questions. I definitely recommend staying here, you won’t be disappointed!
This was a great house with lots of space. Great communication with the owner too. Very clean and great location.
Only suggest is bring your own pans to cook with, as the pans are pretty worn.
Our short get-away to Ocean View DE was made even better by staying here. The house was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. Located in a golf community made it even better. The neighborhood was quite and very beautiful. The drive to the beach was easy and quick.
