About this property

Upscale Five Star Vacation Home!

With the exception of certain Premium Dates we only accept reservations of less than 7 days when the arrival date is within 30 days, unless we have other guests immediately preceding or following the requested stay. We do this so we don't eliminate guests looking for stays of 7 days or longer. If you are still searching for accommodations as it gets closer to your arrival please check our calendar. In the meantime if we have a reservation that immediately precedes or follows your request we will contact you.

If you are seeking a corporate rental or vacation stay in the Wilmington, Delaware area, this charming Cape Cod home is a lovely choice. Stay a week or a month and feel comfortable with all the amenities of a fine hotel.

In the event that we already have a guest checking out on the day you are arriving, or checking in on the day you are departing we will need to adjust the check-in or check-out time by one hour to allow sufficient time for the Housekeeper.

This home has been totally remodeled with top of the line kitchen cabinetry and granite counter tops with hardwood floors throughout. Two large bedrooms with queen size beds and flat screen TVs on the 2nd level share a beautifully upgraded full bath. Off BD #2 is the "Secret Room" with a twin bed appropriate for a youngster as the entry door is a little over 4' tall. The room has an electric heater and window fan (under bed), but is only suitable for use on mild days. On the main floor, an Office/Library/Guest Bedroom with a twin day bed has an adjacent beautifully upgraded full bath with shower. Two more twin beds and 3/4 Bath are in the finished, partially furnished basement for groups of more than 5 guests. A cozy screened in porch is just off the living room which has a fireplace as well as a 52' flat screen TV.
Our key-less lock system eliminates picking up keys, dropping off keys, losing keys or getting locked out!

Perfect home for the holidays!
As a retired Air Force officer, I have lived away from my Delaware family for over 30 years. I’ve stayed w family during every one of my trips home until this trip. My kids are college age and we just needed our own space during the crazy Christmas festivities. This property was absolutely perfect. We had plenty of room, great sleep and the house was a super cozy place to retire after socializing all day. Will definitely rent this place again on one of my future trips home! Happy 2024!!

Second stay
The house remains our favorite among the many VRBO rentals we have used over almost fifteen years. Even cooked an elaborate dinner for 9 in the well-stocked kitchen.

Charming
We enjoyed the charm of the home and the neighborhood. Six adults had plenty of space to relax and enjoy our weekend. We would highly recommend this property for a stay in Delaware.

Family reunion
We needed a property to accommodate 4 generations (ages 1-89) for a local family event. The home is in a superb location (quick access to I-95) and on a tree-lined, walkable neighborhood with warm and welcoming decor.

Family Vaca visiting Relatives
We have nearby older relatives without children, so we have tried to visit them more regularly. Staying at a hotel with two teen-agers and a 20-something became too much. This year, we planned a 10-day stay and rented this house. It was a a great choice. The property is in historic part of Wilmington, and the house fit right in, with a well landscaped outdoors and a nice, time-appropriate interior. A wonderful screened in porch, perfect to avoid the summer mosquitos. A nice launching point to visit relatives in town, head to Philadelphia, see South Jersey and make a reasonable drive to the beach. The owners were responsive about a change in reservation and questions we had before and during the stay.
Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2023
