The Aquarium = Thanksgiving fun!

My rather large family gathers every Thanksgiving in Wrightsville Beach and this year, renting the Aquarium, made us Thanksgiving Central. My immediate family of 14 stayed very comfortably with the large bedrooms and plentiful bathrooms. We all enjoyed the multiple, scenic decks on each level. The place was spacious enough to sit all 30 of us for several lunches and dinners over the week. It was clean, well-supplied with cookware, dishes, glasses as well as a wine cooler.
For the size of the property we often commented that a second oven would be convenient and cooking on the stovetop range was tricky and might need replaced soon.
We did have several questions regarding some appliances and the elevator where, I think, an information binder would have been extremely helpful. Communication with the property management was poor to fair as they did not return any phone calls and sent an answer by text message 4 hrs after my initial request. A service repairman also showed up unannounced on the second day of my stay.

Manager's Response

We are so glad you enjoyed Thanksgiving at Aquarium! We will pass your feedback along to the owners. Regarding communication with Landmark, our team provides digital guidebooks sent via text message multiple times before your check-in along with multiple other text communication provided to guests throughout their stay. This way we can always ensure that guests have up-to-date house information and we can quickly help resolve any issues that may arise. Our office was closed for the holiday while you were visiting and our after hours team is only available for emergencies, however we did try to help you regarding the elevator via text message even though that situation is not considered an after-hours emergency. Our team was not alerted of any maintenance vendors coming to the house, otherwise you would have been made aware of that or we would have rescheduled until after your visit unless it was absolutely necessary. We hope to host you again at Aquarium so you can enjoy the gorgeous house and water views of Wrightsville Beach!

All the women of our family gathered at this house for a reunion. It accommodated 10 of us easily. The kitchen is huge. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. Master suite had an additional room attached with two twin beds. The views off the deck and the deck on top of the house are breathtaking.

Stayed here for our son’s wedding on WB. There were 10 of us all together and everyone had a comfortable bed and plenty of privacy. The home is well maintained, beautifully decorated, in an excellent location and had everything we needed. Each room has a balcony and there are expansive panoramic views from a deck on top of the house. We loved to stay again.

We had a wonderful stay over Labor Day with 3 families. The location was perfect. Short walk to the beach. Then over to sound side for sunset and paddle. Loved it!

Gorgeous views and great spot on the south end!

Fabulous stay! Loved the location, and the house was great. The views are breathtaking, especially on the very top "widows walk" that is huge. Some areas definitely need some freshening up, but pretty much all of the bathrooms have been updated and are beautiful! Most important thing for renters to know is that the "private" dock is actually a shared dock with the house next door. It was fine, but pretty misleading especially since it is in the title. Also there was no grill, which was a huge disappointment since we like to cook our fish and/or meat outside.

Wonderful family vacation
