Five Star Accommodations
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Five Star Accommodations is a fully furnished, upscale detached vacation home in the Bancroft Parkway area of Wilmington (listed here under Delaware City). It’s positioned as an alternative to a traditional hotel stay, offering the space and privacy of a house with many “fine hotel” comforts. The home is in a safe, quiet neighborhood and has been extensively upgraded and remodeled, including hardwood floors and high-end finishes.
Layout & Sleeping Spaces
The home is arranged across multiple levels with several sleeping options. Two large upstairs bedrooms have queen beds and flat-screen TVs and share a renovated full bathroom. On the main floor there’s an office/library/guest room with a twin day bed near another upgraded full bathroom with shower, plus a finished basement bedroom area with two single beds and an adjacent full bath (not described as “five-star” compared with the rest of the home).
In-Home Amenities
This is a self-contained stay with a full kitchen equipped with an oven/stove and microwave, plus a washer for longer visits. Comfort features include air conditioning and heating, a living room fireplace, a patio, cable TV, free Wi‑Fi, and an ironing board. The property is smoke-free and includes free parking.
Outdoor & Living Areas
A standout feature is the cozy screened-in porch just off the living room, a frequently noted spot for relaxing. The living room also includes a fireplace and entertainment setup, supporting a “settle in” feel for week-long or month-long stays.
Location & Nearby Dining/Transit
The home is minutes from Wilmington’s downtown business district and close to cultural sights such as the Delaware Art Museum and Grand Opera House, with Brandywine Zoo and the Kalmar Nyckel Museum and Shipyard also suggested nearby visits. Several bus stops are within a short walk, including 9th St @ Grant Ave (about 203 m) and Union St @ 9th St (about 259 m); Wilmington train access is also available (about 2.7 km). Dining options nearby include Merengue House | Bar & Restaurant (about 251 m), Union Street Pub (about 332 m), Rocco Italian Grill & Sports Bar (about 388 m), and Dead Presidents Pub & Restaurant (about 438 m).
Best for
This property best suits travelers who want a private, residential-style stay with real “at-home” functionality—especially longer visits—thanks to the full kitchen (oven/stove, microwave) and washer, plus free parking and Wi‑Fi. It’s also a strong fit for guests who prefer quiet neighborhoods while staying close to Wilmington’s downtown business district, museums, and restaurant options.
Travel tips
Getting around is easiest by car, and the home includes free parking; guests are also advised to keep cars locked and not leave valuables inside. For public transit, multiple bus stops are within a few minutes on foot (e.g., 9th St @ Grant Ave and Union St @ 9th St), and Wilmington’s train station is about 2.7 km away. Check-in/out timing may be adjusted by about one hour when same-day turnover is required for housekeeping, and entry is via a keyless lock code provided before arrival.
