River Road Retreat was a beautiful house. Although the price was higher than other rentals, it was well worth it. The pictures didn’t do it justice. The gardens surrounding the house were wonderful. The large screened porch was welcoming and the kitchen was well appointed. We celebrated Easter with 7 and there was plenty of room. Highly recommend and will be returning.

We had such a wonderful stay at Brandon's place in Wilmington, North Carolina! It was the perfect spring break getaway for our family. The property is truly unique—peaceful, beautifully maintained, and packed with things to do for all ages. Our kids loved spending time in the pool and hot tub, and they had a blast fishing in the pond. We, along with our dog, enjoyed peaceful morning walks through the gardens every day. The spring flowers were in full bloom and made for some beautiful family photos! The location was ideal—close to all three beaches with Carolina Bach only a short 10-min drive away, and about 20 minutes or so into downtown Wilmington which if you've never been, is such a cute town by the river. It was exactly the kind of break our family needed. Thank you, Brandon, for sharing this special place with us.

We absolutely loved Brandon’s place and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again! The house was clean, had plenty of space to comfortably fit our group, and tons of things to do. We had a great time with the canoes in the lake, the hot tub/pool, and the outdoor fireplace. Brandon was very proactive and accommodated all of our needs promptly. 10/10 would recommend staying here!
