Such a great location, and the place is exactly as adorable as you see pictured. I was on a rotation for PA school, and they really went above and beyond to make the place feel like a home away from home. I'd stay here again if I ever get the chance! Loved my stay in Wilmington!

Funky, Cozy Apartment

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. It was within walking distance to waterfront district and on the same street with many beautiful, historic homes. Many restaurants nearby. My only complaint was that we could not find a blow dryer to use in our apartment.

Super cute place

I am horrible at leaving reviews, timely manner, but a few weeks ago we stayed at this place for two nights. My daughter and myself loved this place. I actually wanted to add a night, but unfortunately it was already booked up. If I ever find the need to come back to Wilmington, I will book again.

Wow!! What a fun time capsule. We were in town for the Jason Mraz concert and brought some of our vinyls because we saw the record player- so fun! This house is adorable, filled with fun things and in an awesome location. Cheesesmith was devine, Auggie and Zo cargo district, of course Indochine and so much more. The detail and attention in every nook and cranny is amazing. Watched Parent Trap on VHS the last night and jammed to Michael on cassette during breakfast. We will definitely try and come back to stay again.

Such a fun vacation rental!!!

We loved putting on a Batman VHS after a long day house hunting. Celebrating with a hootie and the blow fish cassette tape :) It felt like we were back in the 90's. Definitely recommending this place to family visiting once we move to Wilmington!

This property is a hidden gem. The check in was easy. The code was provided before we arrived so the process was smooth. The rooms were clean and decorated so cute. Lots of space for a small house. The location was convenient and close to everything. Be careful leaving the driveway. Cars are coming fast, but if you ease out you will have no problem. Convenient to downtown and in a safe neighborhood. We didn't take our pets but for a home that allows pets, the house surprisingly smelled nice. Would stay here again.

We’re always on the lookout for cool places to stay and The Plastic Peach fits the bill perfectly on multiple levels. Additionally, we were in close proximity to the local arts and historic downtown waterfront districts. We’re already planning a return trip!
