Keeping Wilmington Weird Fest

Property was exactly as stated. Very cute, tucked back off the main road. Decor was so cute, cow theme, adorable! Clean, clean, clean, did I mention CLEAN! Parking too! Very quiet. The hosts provide a ton of extras, snacks, bottled water, tons of toiletries, games, streaming networks. Fully stocked kitchenette for anything you might need. Bed super comfy and linens were extra nice! Hosts are available for anything needed, but provide privacy if not needed. Great stay! Highly recommend this place and I’ll be back for future stays! Great little place with great hosts!

Adorable apartment in the Historic district

The Yak Shack was perfect for a weekend in Wilmington. The location in the historic district is perfect to walk to Water Street and enjoy the river front and Front street with great restaurants and night life. Right around the corner is the fun and hip Castle Street with restaurants, cafes, and vintage shops. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated with a king sized bed, lovely bathroom, and everything you could need for your stay. The hosts, Brittany and Ryan were very friendly responsive to questions. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to our friends and family.

Can't wait to go Back to the Yak Shack!

My wife and I spent one evening at the Yak Shack this weekend and we could not be more pleased with our experience. The price was right, the location good, the check-in and check-out procedures seamless, and the property well appointed and immaculately clean. We were in town to visit a nearby church so the location was excellent; located within the Historic District and close to downtown. The property appears to be relatively new and evidences zero wear/tear. This is an ideal location for an individual or couple who want to experience the ambience of old Wilmington and be close to all the downtown area has to offer. We highly recommend Brittany and Ryan's Yak Shack and hope to return.
