Best Of My Love

We have stayed in multiple homes with Village Realty over the years, usually during the Thanksgiving holiday. This was the best house we have ever rented. The level of detail given to every aspect of the home met the needs from age 4 to 74. Village Realty was wonderful as well...but that is nothing new!

This is a very special house! Our group included 31 adults and eight children under the age of 5, and there was plenty of space to have fun or be quiet. Having the beach so close was perfect. The only reason I did not give this a five star rating was due to a few maintenance issues that Village Realty was in the process of fixing. They couldnt have been any nicer or easier to work with on all my requests and questions. They deserve five stars, for sure. The location is perfect, too. Lots of restaurants and things to do close by. I would definitely recommend this house. You wont be disappointed.

I'm writing this review as we are owners of Florida beach rentals and our management standards for the condition of our rentals are stricter than VROBX. Maybe its not the rental office but the owners? We were disappointed in the amount we paid for this rental based on the condition of the property. We had a rental 3 years ago, 4 homes down, and the home was in excellent condition. We were disappointed for the amount we paid that updates had not been done and cleanliness was so so. I will say when we complained to the management company on a few of the major issues they came out immediately and addressed them. Fabric seating has multiple stains in main living area. Upstairs hardwood floors are majorly stained. Mold in bathroom floor grout. Door handle to back door was dangling upside down, so first night no secured locked back door. Ice maker you had to continually chop the ice as it makes large chunks of ice that do not fit in glasses. So they have a hammer in the icemaker to chop. Elevator was not working, then maintenance came and fixed it, but next day it was not working again. Kitchen could have cleaner frying pans, most stained with years of baked on food. Kitchen could use a skillet for pancakes. Bedding was good and clean. Windows on main floor that look out to the beautiful ocean, one of the large slider door had condensation (seal broken) so you do not have a clear view and thats why you rented an oceanfront property. Very disappointing as it was ugly. These are things are problems I believe have been there and have been ignored. We just spent ALOT of money for this rental and its standards were below par for us. Location is great. Beach is great. Lifeguard stand is right there. Owners need to do some updating just be aware.

House was great. Close to beach and the pool area was perfect. Also loved the fact our entire group was able to comfortably sit together for dinner in the main room on the third floor.However, there were many problems with the house electronics setup: 1) Neither the theater room or the main living room entertainment centers included instructions. Be prepared to spend some time figuring it out. 2) The wifi was terrible. Unable to use any of the streaming services like Netflix and those of us that could not completely escape the office were unable to use VPN software. 3) Many of the bedroom DVD players were either incorrectly cabled or just plain not working.Also, there are no labels on any of the light switches. Took some time to find the switches to turn on the ceiling fans on the third floor. (They are on the other side of the kitchen wall with the range).Tip: Locate the breaker boxes on each floor when you get there. They are all in bedrooms. We had an off hours lightning storm that tripped some breakers and could not find where to reset them. Something that should have taken us minutes to resolve on our own required us to wait for a callback from the maintenance team.

This is our third time staying here. It seems run down. The cabana area needs updating. The fridge is rusted out, counter top needs replacing. The key window/ door that showcases the great view is broken: the upper slider has a broken seal. It showcases the trapped moisture. It feels rusted in its track as you need Ironman strength to open it. Remote controls are randomly disbursed through out. A mix in match for the equipment. Fortunately we didnt watch much. Maintenance did an admirable job keeping up with our requests, but some things are capital investments.

The house was everything we hoped for! Plenty of space for people to sleep and baths to every room was even better (as we stayed him homes that didn't have that before.) The direct beach access was wonderful and the pool was a perfect temp for swimming. The 2 wishes I have would be to have some instruction on using some of the media/audio devices in the home like the pub stereo and the theater room - many remotes and we weren't able to get some working. Also, we saw other reviews/videos that included a door to the pub and theater area but there wasnt one in the home. This would have helped keep the noise away from the bedrooms. Other than that, we have already talked about booking again for a family reunion or possibly another wedding. Excellent home and great location!!

The house was amazing! Perfect for a large group of family/friends. All the amenities that are included far surpass any other house i have rented for vacation. The entire house was well maintained, clean and had everything we needed! Would highly recommend the best of my love for anyone planning a trip to kill Devil Hills!!

WOW....just WOW.....what a great property to rent with a large group. Nice to be together and even better to have your own space when you needed that break :) The accommodations were perfect., the PUB I mean really. We didn't even need to leave the property if we didn't want to. Village Realty was on the ball. Any questions or concerns I had were answered and fixed immediately. The app was perfect and extremely helpful. Thanks to the owners and Village Realty for a great family vacation.

Wonderful house with great amenities! Half our group ended up going to Florida since Hurricane Florence kept us guessing about our scheduled week but it turned out to be a fabulous week!!

Amazing place & unforgettable vacation. Plenty of room to accommodate our large group. Small issues (pool heating) were fixed very quickly. Highly recommend this place as well as Village Realty.

Our stay at Best of my Love exceeded our expectations. The house was beautiful it accommodated all 40 of us comfortably. We have memories that will last forever. Hope one day we will be back

Best of my Love is a fantastic location for a family union and wedding on the beach. The family could not stop talking on how comfortable the house was and all the extra amenities... we definitely will be coming back..

Best of my Love was the setting for our wedding. It was the perfect place to have both our families and close friends spend the week with us and get to know each other. We had such a great time and the accomodations suited our 35 guests with ease and comfort. And to top it all off, we were blessed with a full rainbow on our wedding day! We loved it so much, we booked it for our 1st year anniversary in 2016! -The Braddocks

We had our wedding at Best of my Love and stayed the week, it was truly amazing. The house was very accommodating to everyone, would definitely stay again

23 guests and lots of room . This is our 2nd year here . We really enjoy it. The support and service from VR. Is excellent.

We had a fabulous vacation! Can't wait to do it again!

Best vacation/reunion ever!

We have had the best vacation ever! We had 34 family members from up and down the east coast.
This house. KD 24, Best of My Love, was better than advertised. Never a problem with too many people any time, day or night. I highly recommend for a large group. We ranged in age from 4 to 68.
Love, love this place. Hate to leave!
