We loved our stay! They really thought of all the details. The rooms were larger than I expected from the photos and the beds comfortable - 2 of the rooms have large closets. The house was clean, comfortable and just a short walk away from local dining, places with live music and the riverfront. I would stay here again and highly recommend!

Fun stay at the Yellow Swann

The cottage was very clean and cute! It’s in an up and coming neighborhood that’s walkable to a number of businesses which was nice. We also walked downtown easily for more exploring. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening and made a couple of meals on the charcoal grill. Our family had a great stay!

Nice Home Close to Downtown

My family and I stayed here for a wedding in Wilmington. It was very close to downtown and walkable to restaurants. We did have some issues with cleanliness and are not convinced the bed sheets in the primary suite were laundered. We could not locate extra sheets to change out the bedding, so we laid towels down. Other common areas and beds seemed very clean. We appreciated Lynne's communication and overall we enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that the sheets in the primary suite didn’t meet your expectations. I want to assure you that we launder and change all sheets at every guest turnover, and our team inspects them carefully to ensure they meet our cleanliness standards. It’s unfortunate that you didn't feel comfortable, and we wish you had reached out to us during your stay. We would have been more than happy to provide a fresh set of sheets right away to resolve the issue and ensure your stay was more enjoyable. We take your feedback seriously and hope you’ll give us another opportunity to host you in the future. Best regards, Lynne TaY Lifestyle Management

Weird al vacation house

Thank you so much we had a great time staying at your house. The size and location were perfect for us. We were able to walk to the concert we went to and found many fun bars and good restaurants. I guess our only complaint would be the outside step were very slippery when they were wet. One member of our party fell down the side steps because of that. All in all we had a great time! Thank you for letting use stay. We’ve already recommended it to several of our friends. Thanks Randy

Great House and location! The host is awesome, very responsive and helpful. This VRBO is setup with everything in mind and attention to details throughout the house, it is truly a home away from home. The location is perfect for everyone, walking, biking or driving, you are close to everything. Riverwalk was great and we took in some of the local sights: Bellamy Mansion, Airlie gardens, Brooklyn cafe for chai and beignets. Delicious breakfast at The kitchen sink in the art district A Must! Finished with the Cotton Exchange- so many unique shops.
