About this property

Five Star Accommodations

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!
