Fantastic Stay
Look no further! The Yak Shack was perfect for our stay in Wilmington. Very comfortable, private, and so close (yet just far enough away to be quiet) to the waterfront and many restaurants. Ryan and Brittany are wonderful hosts- great communication throughout and lots of nice touches in the Yak Shack. We will stay again. Thank you Ryan and Brittany!

Music, walking, dining and a show.
We had an awesome stay at the Yak Shack for a visit to Wilmington for music and a show. Our room was comfortable, cozy and clean. The space was great, and the neighborhood was quiet. The riverfront walkway was close by for a walk and places to eat and it was a convenient drive to the Wilson center for our show.

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.
