Cute and well designed!

The bungalow is small, but so well designed! It feels roomier than it actually is. Lots of nice amenities. There is a great deck in the back and fenced yard for our two dogs. Would stay again.

Comfy Stay

I had my disabled adult daughter and two dogs with me. The home met all our needs including a fenced back yard and beautiful back deck. Some lighting outside didn’t work and the place could have been a bit cleaner (little more attention to detail) but overall nice stay! Recommend TV in at least one bedroom.

Awful

I was traveling for work and arrived at the house at 5:30pm and it was dark outside. The lockbox was not on the front door as shown in the video that the host provided. The carport was filled with trash and overflowing bins. There were no outside lights and I was forced to use my cell phone flashlight to find my way. I could not access the property and did not stay there. The host was rude when I contacted him for assistance. His responses were not encouraging as he told me continuously that I “did not follow the instructions provided”. Very disappointed!!

Cute but very small older home, the attention to detail with the cleaning was not excellent but it was not dirty by any means. The baseboards and shower did have dirt and hair on them but I’m not very picky so it didn’t bother me too much. The biggest issue was that the key to the back door didn’t really fit ?! It took us FOREVER to unlock or lock the door, and there were only 2 towels…for 4 guests for 3 days. When I reached out about laundry there was no key to access the washer downstairs and the manger said they would bring towels but they never did. It was also pretty loud from the road noise. And the house smelled weird? The kitchen was well stocked though and the beds were comfortable.

Weekend in Durham

We spent a September weekend in Durham visiting our daughter. This is the first time we rented this property. The house was in beautiful condition & completely renovated in HGTV style! The location was also great for Duke related events!

clean, great for dogs, convenient to the Duke campus

We were in town for a Duke reunion. The home was clean, the back deck was awesome, and the fenced yard was great for our dogs. We would stay here again!
