Bancroft Cottage - Elegant Parkway Home - Near Trolley Square

The house was clean and comfortable. We really liked the screened-in side porch. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that was easy to get into and out of. There is a binder with all the info you need to know to find things. Therefore, it helps to check it out. Our host was great. We had a few questions and he was always prompt in getting back to us. We felt the location was wonderful because it was close to almost all of the places we wanted to visit, such as Longwoods Gardens and the Dupont estates.

Quiet neighborhood. Side screened porch was the best room in the house. Fun to watch the dog walkers. Very close to attractions. Visited Winterthur, Longwood Gardens, Hagley Museum, Read House & Gardens. Odessa and New Castle are charming historic towns both with colonial taverns with good food. Columbus Inn is within walking distance with excellent food. House was well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Great place to stay. Highly recommend.

We we’re given a wrong code to unlock the door, so it definitely added unnecessary stress after a long day travel. I really loved the location, it’s a safe and beautiful neighborhood and very close to DuPont estates and gardens. The kitchen and bathroom are fully stocked we had more than what we needed. We are family of four, so we didn’t have to use the room in basement

Great stay, as always.

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 thoroughly enjoyed the house and the beautiful neighborhood, especially breakfasts on the screened porch. The hosts seemed to think of everything, and were very responsive when we had questions. We would definitely stay there again.

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.
