Summary: House was as advertised. Clean and lots of space for everyone. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood. We really didn't cook, but kitchen seemed to be stocked with everything you would need. Great porch and outside area to sit and relax.
Amy W. Mar 16, 2025 01:57:35 AM
Summary: Great cozy spot for the whole family. Hosts were very communicative, friendly and helpful. House was clean and accommodated a large group well. Lots of puzzles and games.

Summary: My friends and I have been staying at the Nolan family's "Hibernian Hideaway" for the past several years for our annual golf trip. The quality of courses within approximately 30-40 minutes, easily rival courses at the "Golf Mecca" known as Myrtle Beach, SC, while considerably easier and cheaper to get to from our central NJ homes. The full kitchen and outside grill equate to huge savings in food costs. Ending each night by the lagoon, with a cabernet and a cigar is the perfect way to end one great day after another. Not one to wish my life away, I am truly looking forward to staying at the Nolan home in November 2025, when we head south for our 15th golf trip. Thank You Patrick for making everything go very smoothly.
Randy M. Sep 25, 2024 09:38:20 PM
Summary: Due to a family emergency we were delayed 3 days in arriving. Our host graciously offered us to stay 3 days beyond our end date. We didn't do that because we had other commitments, but we thought the offer was above and beyond.
Keith M. Aug 26, 2024 07:37:17 AM
Summary: Great place for our group of families and kids. Close proximity to the beach. Responsive ownership. Would stay again.
Joseph H. Nov 28, 2023 09:44:34 AM
Summary: Seven of my friends and I have been staying at the Nolan residence each November for the past several years for our annual golf trip. Accommodations are perfect for our group. Location puts us within 30 minutes of an array of outstanding golf courses in Delaware and Ocean City, MD. Full kitchen and outside grill make for huge cost savings on food. Always look forward to sipping cabernet and enjoying a Cuban cigar dockside each night. We can always count on a visit from the resident Blue Heron who patrols the lagoon.
Holly M. Sep 26, 2023 11:01:12 AM
Summary: Our first time staying in South Bethany (always Bethany Beach). The house was perfect for our crew. We could spread out and not be under each others feet. It was very much like home for the week. We didn’t even use all the sleep space upstairs and there is a lot of room. The house was very clean and tidy. The outdoor space is fantastic. Absolutely loved being on the canal and being able to sit out there and relax. The neighborhood is peaceful and serene.
Daniel K. Jul 25, 2023 10:38:26 PM
Summary: Great location in South Bethany, a half mile to the beach. Bikes at the property and the two parking tags were awesome, making it easy to take beach stuff over or head back home midday and relax. Canoe at the house was great to use on the canals! Plenty of separate spaces on the first floor to have your own space after too much family time. Upstairs bathroom was very nicely updated and outdoor shower was great after the beach. No issues with hot water or water pressure even with two concurrent showers. Kitchen is dated, but serviceable. Tons of pots and pans and utensils, but we would have preferred 3 nice pans instead of 25 old/scratched pans. The "hallway" bedroom was a little tough to manage with little kids and adults with different bed (and wake up) times, although the kids loved the bunk beds. Overall amazing location and excellent "extras" beyond the house. Thanks to Patrick for all the communication, directions etc. If we had had a problem, I have no doubt that he would have handled it quickly.
Ellen G. Jul 23, 2023 11:00:25 AM
Summary: This is one of the best rentals we have stayed in through VRBO. The house was immaculate when we arrived. The owner answered all of our questions immediately and was always very responsive. The house is in a great location where you can walk to the beach (or short drive with the parking pass) and a few restaurants/deli. The house is spacious, and we love the layout and the fact that there are two separate living spaces so some of us could work remotely in a quiet room while others watched TV or played games. The screened-in porch is an added bonus and a perfect place to hang out and watch some of the boats go by along the canal. I can't wait to go back!

Summary: This is the 12th year my friends and I have been coming to the Delaware/Ocean City area for a five-day golf trip. Back in 2011, we contemplated a trip Myrtle Beach, SC. Instead, my friend made arrangements for us to play several courses in this area. We quickly learned that there was no need to spend all that extra money when there are so many great courses in Delaware/Ocean City area. We discovered the Nolan property in 2019. It is prefect in so many ways for our group of eight. To save money, we bring food and cook breakfast and dinner each day. Nothing better than filet mignon prepared on the outside grill. Nights are capped off with a cocktail and a cigar by the lagoon. Already looking forward to next year's trip. Will most definitely staying at the Nolan property. PS Golfers, save money by doing your own bookings at the courses. Allows you to also pick your own courses, rather than have a service add in a few so-so courses. Rum Pointe, Glen Riddle (Man O' War) and Eagles Landing in MD; Baywood Greens and Plantation Lakes (DE), all are Five Star courses.
