    The Eleanor Dare house is a beautiful property. Each of the 8 bedrooms has its own en-suite, which adds to the privacy of the guests.The house itself is overdue for a facelift. Some of the furniture in the family room is worn, and the carpets are threadbare in places. The slider to the 3rd floor deck was extremely difficult to operate, even after I oiled it. The shuffleboard table was unusable - you can’t even get the pucks to slide the length of the table. The management company was responsive to our concerns. When we arrived - at 4:05 pm - the door code didn’t work. Fortunately, the cleaning person stayed to make sure our code worked and, when it didn’t, she let us in. The problem was resolved in the next 30 minutes. We also had a problem with the cabana service. On the first day, it was too windy to set up the cabana, which I understood. But I wanted to use some of the chairs, which were all chained together. After about 2 hours and calls to both the management company and the cabana service, we got our chairs. The only other comment related to the windows. There is a beautiful view from the 3rd floor looking out over the ocean. But by the end of the week, the windows were so clouded over that the view became unimpressive. I wish there had been a garden hose and squeegee to keep a pristine view.On a positive note, the kitchen was well-equipped with dishes, pots and pans. The 2 microwaves and 2 dishwashers were very convenient. The table seated our group of 15.

    We had a 4-gen Christmas week at the Eleanor Dare cottage, and it turned out great. We walked the beach, rode bikes (e-bike rental), shopped, played golf and even fished one day. The cottage was great for spreading people out for games and movies, and for bringing everyone together for breakfast and dinner every day.

    The house was awesome! We used the theater and game room every night- ping pong and pool tournaments. We got the pool heated and I’m so glad we did! We were able to swim comfortably (with small children) our whole stay in September. Also, loved the convenience of having a beach tent and chairs already set up for us. The showers could have used a deep cleaning, a couple of people had hairs still on the floor/walls. The vent over the stove stopped working and the pool heater wasn’t working at one point but they responded right away and had someone out within the hour. Overall, we were very pleased and would definitely book again!

    We truly enjoyed our stay at this house. Its location is great. The room for families to spread out and have their own space (especially with such a wide variety of ages - 69 to 8) was a welcome treat for everyone. The ocean view is stunning. Lots of fun places within walking distance.

    This is the 2nd time we stayed at this rental. It’s a great house for big groups and all ages! It had plenty of rooms to accommodate Our family of 17, a baby, 4 kids under 5, 13 teenagers and adults comfortably. The proximity to the beach outside the back door and the private pool was unbeatable and why we keep coming back. Thanks for hosting us!

    This house accommodated a large family gathering and provided a perfect space for us to spend time together and time apart. It was clean, with lots of fun kid-friendly amenities, and its own beach access allowed for easy ocean visits. Great house!! We will definitively book it again!
