We stayed during Hurricane Debbie. It was windy and the ocean was turbulent to enjoy. We shortened our stay by 3 days…enjoyed some activities in Wilmington but due to the weather, decided to go home early. The location is great for the beach if the weather was better. Plenty of room in the home to spread out.

We enjoyed our stay with family here. Plenty of room for 10 people, and lots of outdoor space as well. Would definitely love to stay here again.

Our family of 8 spent 3-nights at Miller’s Whimsy and really enjoyed our time. You can’t ask for a better location. The beach right in front of the house is very nice and not too crowded. The house is within walking distance of restaurants and boardwalk activities. The house was well-equipped with all cooking needs. We were pleasantly surprised with how spacious the main living areas and rooms are. Consider bringing your own beach accessories, like umbrellas/tents and chairs, as there were some available but not all in working condition. Would recommend!

Door code would not work at check in, but staff was quick to respond by text, and after providing us with a couple of different codes, we got one that worked. Enjoyed this property's open floor plan and beachfront location. Beds were comfortable. Sofa in living room is not very comfortable. House was a little dusty in some areas, but overall appeared clean. We would definitely stay here again.

This house was in the perfect location on the beach but could use a refresh. It is very dated, furniture is old, boardwalk to beach is in need of repair (wear shoes or you will have splinters), and garage bedroom that is listed is a definite no go!! Very musty and a bit scary! We enjoyed our stay but will look for something a little more updated for our next trip
