About this house rental

We've had more than one guest tell us that Bancroft Cottage was better than their stay at the Hotel Dupont! (and a lot more reasonable may we add). In the event that we already have a guest checking out on the day you are checking in, or checking in on the day you are checking out we will need to adjust the check-in or check-out time by one hour to allow sufficient time for the Housekeeper. Upscale detached home in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Highly upgraded with $150,000 in property and furniture upgrades. Fabulous gourmet kitchen, Pottery Barn style decor, comfy screened in porch, garage and additional parking. If you are seeking a corporate rental or vacation stay in the Wilmington, Delaware area, this charming Cape Cod home is a lovely choice. Stay a week or a month and feel comfortable with all the amenities of a fine hotel. This home has been totally remodeled with top of the line kitchen cabinetry and granite counter tops with hardwood floors throughout. Two large Bedrooms with Queen size beds and flat screen TVs on the 2nd level share a beautifully upgraded full bath. On the main floor, an Office/Library/Guest Bedroom with a twin day bed has an adjacent beautifully upgraded full bath with shower. The finished, but not Five Star basement is the 4th bedroom with two single beds and an adjacent full bathroom. A cozy screened in porch is just off the spacious Living Room which has a fireplace, wine cabinet as well as a 52' flat screen TV. Our key-less lock system eliminates picking up keys, dropping off keys, losing keys or getting locked out! You will be given a code to access the front and back door locks during your stay. You may e-mail or call us during stay if there is an issue or need not covered in your Instructions. Situated on beautiful Bancroft Parkway in a desirable Wilmington neighborhood. However, as in anywhere, we do suggest you not leave valuables in your cars and keep them locked. Situated minutes from the downtown Business District and blocks from the Delaware Art Museum and Rockford Park, this lovely Cape Cod detached, fully furnished home is ready for a Corporate Executive or vacationing family. Local area attractions include food and entertainment at the Riverfront, Winterthur Museum (a DuPont Mansion and Gardens), 12 miles from the University of Delaware, 11 miles to Wyeth Country, 30 minutes from Philadelphia Airport, minutes from Historic New Castle, home of the minor league Wilmington Blue Rocks. We are located just 4 miles (10 mins.) from A. I. DuPont Children's Hospital.
We will provide you with the code to the locks prior to your arrival. No keys to pick up or drop off. We can be reached by e-mail and phone which will be provided you after booking. Bancroft Cottage is situated in a safe and desirable neighborhood just a little north of downtown Wilmington. You will find recommendations of restaurants and other activities with the Instructions provided with your Agreement. Wilmington has a train and bus station, but getting around is easiest by car. There are restaurants within walking distance. Bring your toothbrush ... most everything else is there waiting for you.

This is a beautiful property, inside and out, located in a well appointed neighborhood. We had a few issues( usual kind of things) that the owners responded to very quicky and got resolved. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was perfect for our group of six adult family members. Three full bathrooms was the primary selling point for selecting the house. The neighborhood and screen porch were great benefits. Early morning coffee on the screen porch made for a great start to the day.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Rooster house. The secret kid’s room off the bedroom was PERFECT for our almost 2 year old. We all slept so well! House had everything we needed and such a fantastic neighborhood. Appreciated the price, location, amenities, and communication. A+

As a retired Air Force officer, I have lived away from my Delaware family for over 30 years. I’ve stayed w family during every one of my trips home until this trip. My kids are college age and we just needed our own space during the crazy Christmas festivities. This property was absolutely perfect. We had plenty of room, great sleep and the house was a super cozy place to retire after socializing all day. Will definitely rent this place again on one of my future trips home! Happy 2024!!

The house remains our favorite among the many VRBO rentals we have used over almost fifteen years. Even cooked an elaborate dinner for 9 in the well-stocked kitchen.

We needed a property to accommodate 4 generations (ages 1-89) for a local family event. The home is in a superb location (quick access to I-95) and on a tree-lined, walkable neighborhood with warm and welcoming decor.
