Nice place to stay

Candy Land was as advertised. Cute, clean and comfortable. Good location, but maybe not as walkable as I had hoped. Had an issue with the washing machine not draining well, so it left the clothes really wet and had to run an extra spin and drain cycle, but it wasn't a huge deal. Everything else was good!

It was awful. Not clean. Not kid friendly for sure . Wires hanging. Hole recently patched in the living room. When i called the owners brought cleaning supplies to me because i wouldn't let strangers into the house with a 2 year old there and i have cancer as well and cant have the germs.

Great Property In A Great Location

We were in Wilmington for a long weekend. I knew about the arts district but never stayed there. It’s a great area to stay! Lot’s of small, local neighborhood bars/restaurants.The house was very clean and reflected exactly what was in the pictures online. The owner was very responsive and helpful throughout the stay.

Clean, cute, good location

The house is clean and decorated nicely. The space is the bottom floor of a 2-story house. The street and houses on it are cute. We're a family of 5, so it was nice to have the back bedroom with ensuite for the parents and the shared bathroom for the kids. The house is stocked with coffee, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash - and candy. Street parking was easy. There's a cafe right around the corner. We walked to downtown and along the Riverwalk and felt safe. Great stay!

Walking distance to town, cute place

Overall it was very pleasant and met our needs for a girls weekend to celebrate two 60 year old sister in laws with their 80 year old mother. We walked into town during the day and chilled at the rental during the night. Nicely decorated and had everything you needed. Communication by the owner was excellent. The only complaint is that it's the downstairs unit with another unit above it. Unfortunately they were doing construction work on the upper unit and started really early. Someone in our party came from an hour earlier time zone so it woke her up. We were gone most of the day so it didn't bother us for long. If the upper unit was rented, it might be quite loud since we heard every step made by the workers.

This a cute property. It has a great layout - 3 bedrooms; 2 baths (one ensuite). Kitchen is well equipped. Nice laundry room if you need to wash anything. Little front porch nice to sit on in the morning or evening. Walkable to several restaurants, coffee shops and downtown.

Comfortable and stylish

Nearly everything about our stay was perfect. The home was clean and well-appointed, my husband and two teenage daughters were very comfortable. The communication with Luke was nearly perfect. The rain cloud that affected our trip was that the TV would not operate. We thought it may have been the batteries in the remote, but when replacement batteries weren't delivered until late in the afternoon of our stay (and the batteries did not fix the issue), we never heard back with any other attempt to resolve. I expect this was just a fluke -- and it wouldn't dissuade me from recommending this location -- but it was disappointing nonetheless.
