Luke is definitely a super host! Having themed rooms and a colorful decor matched the Historic Brooklyn Art District in Wilmington. Funky and fun. Didn’t realize we would have a family above us, but they were quiet in the evening and overnight. Beds were comfortable, clean and pillows stacked. Bathrooms had been nicely upgraded and well stocked. Kitchen was well stocked including candy jars to go with theme. Good coffee including a grinder for freshest. Easy walk to fine dining and the waterfront. Recommend for friends get away.

Cute Decor

The host are very responsive to questions or concerns. Loved the fun and bright decor through out the unit. No designated parking but that was never an issue. Plenty of street parking. Close to a few good food options. Palate (a wine place) was not too far of a walk from the unit along with a few other food/drink options. Unit Kitchen was stocked with cups, plates, etc.

Nice place to stay

Candy Land was as advertised. Cute, clean and comfortable. Good location, but maybe not as walkable as I had hoped. Had an issue with the washing machine not draining well, so it left the clothes really wet and had to run an extra spin and drain cycle, but it wasn't a huge deal. Everything else was good!

It was awful. Not clean. Not kid friendly for sure . Wires hanging. Hole recently patched in the living room. When i called the owners brought cleaning supplies to me because i wouldn't let strangers into the house with a 2 year old there and i have cancer as well and cant have the germs.

Great Property In A Great Location

We were in Wilmington for a long weekend. I knew about the arts district but never stayed there. It’s a great area to stay! Lot’s of small, local neighborhood bars/restaurants.The house was very clean and reflected exactly what was in the pictures online. The owner was very responsive and helpful throughout the stay.

Clean, cute, good location

The house is clean and decorated nicely. The space is the bottom floor of a 2-story house. The street and houses on it are cute. We're a family of 5, so it was nice to have the back bedroom with ensuite for the parents and the shared bathroom for the kids. The house is stocked with coffee, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash - and candy. Street parking was easy. There's a cafe right around the corner. We walked to downtown and along the Riverwalk and felt safe. Great stay!

Walking distance to town, cute place

Overall it was very pleasant and met our needs for a girls weekend to celebrate two 60 year old sister in laws with their 80 year old mother. We walked into town during the day and chilled at the rental during the night. Nicely decorated and had everything you needed. Communication by the owner was excellent. The only complaint is that it's the downstairs unit with another unit above it. Unfortunately they were doing construction work on the upper unit and started really early. Someone in our party came from an hour earlier time zone so it woke her up. We were gone most of the day so it didn't bother us for long. If the upper unit was rented, it might be quite loud since we heard every step made by the workers.
