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.

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.

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!
