Ladies Trip

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.

Very Nice House

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.

Lovely home

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.

Everything was Perfect!

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!

Perfect House for our Family Reunion!!

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 ❤️

Wonderful stay

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 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.

Lovely House

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.

Fantastic!

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.

Our 3-generation family booked the entire house for our September weekend visit and had a fabulous time. Alex was super-helpful, checking in to make sure all was well and bringing extra towels, even! The home has been beautifully updated, and my parents stayed in the downstairs unit for a little separation from the rest of us. We'd be happy to stay here again and highly recommend this rental!

Family Get Together

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!
