We really enjoyed the location of this rental. The view was beautiful. The house was clean and kept up. The only downsize was that the kitchen was not stocked enough for that big of house. There were only a couple very small pot. Other than that it was a great place!
I loved the layout of this house for a large group. We hosted the groomsmen for our son's wedding and loved having the dock, hot tub, deck space, and more! The house is furnished beautifully. We were walking distance from all the fun in Wrightsville Beach. The only note would be that we did not have enough linens/towels to use initially for a party of ten.

Found this place on VRBO. The house is perfect for a large group. The bedrooms are comfy and the bathrooms, especially the master bath and bedroom are perfect. The outdoor areas and hot tub are amazing and easily accessible. Great pier attached to the property and perfect location. Walk over to Wrightsville Beach because you are right at the bridge so you don’t have to move your vehicle. Just a perfect hideaway. Highly recommend this property. The property management is great to deal with, answered any questions or concerns promptly.
We had a great stay at this house. The highlights include the location, private dock, covered porches, and space available overall.
Unfortunately, we were not notified the elevator was out of service. At 8 months pregnant I was relying on that with all the stairs. There were a few other minor inconveniences such as the ice machine not working and our fire alarm in the master bedroom being detached. The master bathroom shower was gorgeous, but did not drain well at all and there was a ton of standing water. We also had issues with the doors locking properly. The wind blew open several doors, including the master bedroom and patio door in the middle of the night.
Overall, it’s a beautiful house and we had a great stay. There were just a few things we’d wish we had updates on before arriving. We would stay here again though without a doubt.

This house was perfectly appointed with all the conveniences of home! The decor is luxury, the furniture so comfortable, and kitchen fully stocked. The outdoor dock and little beach are amazing. And the location is perfect. We didn't even go to the beach much because we could hang there and park our boat. We will definitely be back.

Home met our expectations and then some. Home was clean. Great views of waterway. Upgraded nice dock for hours of fun in sun. Nice airy family and kitchen rooms. Loved the Hot tub after a long day of fun.The paddle boards was the icing on the cake!
The house is spacious, beautifully decorated, and in a great location within walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants. My only suggestions would be some lighting around the hot tub area, because there is none, and replacing all the pillows on the beds. They are very old and very uncomfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, but I’ll bring my own pillow.

My family and I had a fantastic Christmas enjoying being together and at the Beach. The house has great amenities, including a large kitchen in open layout floorplan with a big table to play games, put together puzzles and have family dinners. The porches overlooking the water, the dock , and the hot tub add the the experience.
We have been renting sound front in WB for years. This is one of the best houses we stayed at. Clean, updated, comfortable, perfect lay out for families with young kids excellent location and responsive property mgmt company, We will be back to Jimmy’s hideaway!

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home and location. Everything was perfect. Enjoyed fishing off its boat dock.
House was well stocked with everything we needed to make family meals. Washer and dryer worked great. Friends that lived in area visited by boat. Can't say anything bad about the view. Had an issue with AC on 2nd floor but was repaired right away.

Reviewer Comments:
This house was great for our large group, but for the price, a few small things would have made a difference. For instance, not every bathroom has toilet paper. We had to run to the store to get more. There were no paper towels. The filtered water was quite slow—it would take a couple of minutes to fill a drinking cup. Water pressure in the showers was fairly low. Overall, these are small things, but the house was beautiful, had lovely decor, and the location was superb. We were asked to do quite a bit by the management company to prepare to leave and the language in the texts threatening fines if we did not do certain things seemed unnecessarily abrasive.

Reviewer Comments:
Our family has stayed at Jimmy's Hideaway several times now, and still love the location and overall layout. The decor is beautiful and it always seems clean when we arrive. So nice that beds are already made! The cons - there are always some light bulbs missing or burned out. Some you can work around, but others (like in bathrooms) are needed. The other big issue is water pressure or lack thereof, in sinks and showers. We guess it's because it's an old house with old plumbing. One toilet backed up on Thanksgiving Day, but plumber came the next day to fix it. Again, an inconvenience for the folks using that bathroom. Mr. Coffee was also worn out and wouldn't turn on after a few days there. We had to just make runs to Starbucks to make do, which wasn't ideal or inexpensive . But property managers did have a new coffee maker delivered the next day. So overall we still like Jimmy's and thankful property managers are responsive even during Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
