The house was fantastic and fully equipped for many people and Alex was very responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed the location and the size of the house. The wrap around porch and backyard seating area was great too. Thanks for a wonderful stay at a really sad time for the family.
Our family enjoyed our stay in this home. We had plenty of room, and several appreciated the pool table. Our host was helpful and quick to respond to us. The home was very clean and welcoming.
The house was perfect for our bowling trip to Wichita. We had 10 ladies and the accommodations were perfect for us. There was plenty of room for all of us. We will stay again if we bowl next year.
We enjoyed our four evening stay in the Delano home. We did a little cooking in the beautiful, well equipped kitchen but also sampled fun nearby restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and we all felt safe.
The house was beautiful and worked well for our 3 families. The property manager was amazing and responded to our requests in near real time (cushions for the outside chairs / emails). Location was great. Highly recommend for anyone needing a larger house.
Beautiful remodeled home with lots of character. Our family enjoyed the spacious home and family time. Great location. Host was absolutely wonderful and checked in to make sure we were doing well. Highly recommend!Highly recommend
We had a great stay at this incredible home. Plenty of room for our large group whether we were in the dining room or back by the fire pit. Such a cute place to stay. If we’re ever back in Wichita, we will definitely be back! Thank you.
Fabulous old home beautifully updated and nicely equipped. Ten of us stayed for three days and had plenty of room in the living room to sit around and talk.
Like it says in the VRBO listing, the floors do creek, but want really an issue.
Would love to stay there again ❤️
Perfect location for our activities for the weekend. Property was easy to access and provided everything we could have wanted. Will not hesitate to book again when needed. Thank you Alex for the Delano Deluxe weekend.
I loved this home - very authentic. They provide a lot of little extras like trash bags and basic seasoning. Great fluffy towels and comfortable bedding. We visited when decorated for Christmas and very tastefully done! Would highly recommend the decorations if an option. Thank you for letting us stay.
Here's your provided online review for your VRBO stay:
We had a wonderful experience during our stay in this VRBO rental. The location was fantastic, nestled in a quiet and charming neighborhood. The house itself felt like a home away from home, complete with all the amenities we needed. It was spacious enough for our team to spread out comfortably. Highly recommended!
Beautiful historic home in a quintessential historic neighbor close to Friends University. Great front with swing. Beautiful back area with tables, lighting and gas fire pit. The home is a beautiful renovated style. Comfortable and well furnished with everything needed for a great stay!
This property was perfect for our extended family to gather from out of town to spend time together in Wichita and celebrate the lives and memories of two of our relatives. We were able to share meals together and spend time visiting in a relaxed setting. The property was as described and we appreciated the back yard and grill area. Highly recommended for a group.
Loved our stay! The location was great, we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and there was plenty of parking. House is beautifully updated with everything we needed. Plenty of room for the whole family, and the kids loved having extra room in the basement. The porch is perfect for Morning coffee. Great communication from the hosts.
This property was as described, easy access, well appointed kitchen and baths. Plenty of space for a large family. We had 15 people and everyone had a bed to sleep in. Really the perfect size for us. Quiet neighborhood. Host was very responsive and helpful.
The house was great! We came for an extended weekend stay. There was 15 of us and we had enough space. The wraparound porch, backyard and dining space was our favorite features of this home. The house was very close to everything we wanted to do. The host communicated well and responded in a timely manner to any questions or needs we had. I would definitely recommend this home and we would stay here again.
We stayed in a beautifully restored home in an older historic neighborhood for a family reunion. There was plenty of room for our family, the kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the house was spotless.
We didn’t use the back patio, but there was a fire pit that would’ve been perfect for gathering in the evening.
If we need room for a large group in the future, we’ll definitely be back!
We were vey pleased with Delano Deluxe. Using all 6 bedrooms it fit our family needs for gathering for Thanksgiving and an early Christmas. Alex responded quickly to us. Heater wasn’t working when we arrived but she had someone there to fix it within a short time. The beds and bedding were very comfortable.
The Delano Deluxe worked out wonderfully for our family get-together. We were able to bring together our young adult children (ages 20 - 27) and a grandbaby, with plenty of space for everyone. The common rooms were spacious with a large TV for watching "the game" together. Communication from the host was prompt and she made sure a high chair was available for the baby.
We plan to visit again!
This was a very short stay to visit a some friends in our old hometown. The house was quite lovely. Since most of our time was visiting, we did not fully immerse ourselves into the house...meaning we cooked No meals; but we did warm up a few leftovers and, of course, we had our share of evening snacks.
The bedrooms and beds were comfortable. With our group of ten, we were very comfortable in the house. There was lots of room to spread out when one needed some quiet time.
As one might imagine, the kitchen and dining table were our usual gathering location either just before breakfast to review the plan for the day or in the evening to relive the memories of our youth.
The house is in a lovely setting. A couple of folks took time for a short walk to Friends University.
The house is conveniently located to US highway 54 and you can get around easily. Wichita is not that large and since I lived in Wichita in my youth, then I knew exactly where to go. All of us now live in significantly larger cities and the running joke is that 'it is only 6 minutes away' regardless of where you are going :)
I recommend this house and will check availability the next time we are in Wichita.
Pictures and descriptions are very accurate! Well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds, great for a family stay. We enjoyed walking over to a baseball game. Would stay again!
