About this property

Oakwood next to Merrimon Wynne House with Garage

This is a 3-story condo about 6/10ths of a mile from downtown Raleigh and the Governors mansion is 300 yards from our house, so a safe part of the city.
Colette and I love to travel and the over-all bedding set-up is at the top of our list, we got turned onto Cozy-Earth bedding that offers a fiber based bamboo sleeping experience, second to none.
"Service animals" that are hypo-allergenic and smaller than 15 lbs. are OK, I have an allergy to most dogs, i.e, German Shepherds, Retreivers, Labs, so those types of dogs are not allowed in our properties.
If you decide to rent from us, we try to get people in early on the day of and you can usually check out late.
Note, if you are booking for 1 nite, the fee is $525 for 1 nite and we don’t do 1 niters on the weekends unless we get right up to it and have not had a booking. We have a 2-night minimum during the week, mainly because of the cleaning fee to stay on top of things.
Our condo was built 3-years ago and we ended up purchasing the model unit, so it has a few more bells and whistles than the other units. We have a 2-car garage so you ll have a place to keep your car while you're here. Our house has 75' smart TV with built in wall speakers (thru-out the house) and a sub-woofer. We carry most of the popular media services, Netflix, Showtime, YouTube premium, HBO, STARZ, Prime, Max, Paramount plus, Radio Paradise and Pandora premium. You can access various other channels like Showtime, HBO, Cinemax and the like by referring to the Google re:Spectru's offerings. Showtime for example is 550. We also have Lime and Spin scooters here in Raleigh.

This new 2-bedroom condo is 1800 sq. ft. located in the Oakwood part of downtown of Raleigh. The unit has 10' ceilings and has a large spacious feel to it. It can sleep 6 as we have a pull out full sleeper sofa in the living room and a king sized bed in one of the bedrooms and a queen in the other. We have a very interesting alleyway which has a European feel to it, especially at night. Colette and I have also been Premier-hosts since day-1 and have had over 3000 different travelers pass thru our (5) editions.
Both of us had been wanting to be B&B owners earlier in our lives and it morphed into this VRBO experience for us. One of our (5) VRBO units, "Peaceful Home W' saltwater pool" had the distinction of being the No. 1 rated short-term rental properties out of 466 in this area, a few years back.

This house is set up with an VRBO on the lower level. If you rent this unit, you will be on floors two and three. We have put 10' of insulation between the floors so as to not disturb the people downstairs, but we do ask you to tread lightly. We also have a Pac n' Play, if you need that

We can only accept some types of small hypo-allergenic type dogs here.

Wedding Weekend

We had a great extended weekend enjoying my son's wedding with family. The location was terrific and the place was clean and spacious (we had several extended family stop by and kitchen/living room area was awesome for this.) Only minor issues were that the garage was tight (could only fit one of the two cars we had with us - but street parking and parking lot across the street was helpful) and we had some trouble figuring out how to work the TV (may have just been us - lol). Tom responded quickly to any of our questions. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others.

Wedding weekend

We booked as it was walking distance to our wedding venue. We did not expect to find out that this was a primary residence for the owner and that it would be full of his belongings, full closets, refrigerator, etc. The guest bathroom which our son tried to shower in was clogged and so he was forced to share our bathroom. It was a very nice place to stay and conveniently located however had we known the place would be full of owners property I doubt we would have booked. I have never experienced this at any other property I have booked.

Beautiful home, great location

This is an absolutely gorgeous townhome in a beautiful, historic part of central Raleigh. Walking distance to a HUGE Krispy Kreme (bonus 😊). Easy parking, cozy couches and beds (always a priority!). Tom was readily available as needed. Highly recommended!! One quick sidenote: not sure if the property details are updated, but there is a cat that sometimes (usually?) lives at the home. The place was spotless, but if you have a serious cat allergy, either load up on meds or find somewhere else to stay. Thank you Tom!

Great townhome in an awesome part of Raleigh.

My family and I (wife, two young children) rented this home for a weekend while we saw some real-estate in the RDU area. The townhome was exactly as advertised, all the bedrooms, bathrooms, living spaces, etc. were spotless and well maintained. The four of us easily fit in the home whether we were eating in the kitchen or dining area, watching tv in the living room, or relaxing on the second-floor balcony. The garage parking and grassy areas were great perks as well. Tom, the homeowner, was terrific the entire time, very thorough with getting us into the place and making sure we had all we needed including recommending restaurants and sites for the kids. The location couldn't be beaten - quiet yet still right in the middle of everything. I highly recommend staying here and will look to book again when we come back soon.

Pretty Condo + Convenient Location

We started our day at 4am. We texted Owner (Tom) so he could plan for our arrival. When we arrived at the condo, he told us he was just finishing up inside. We sat in our car and waited for 15-20 minutes. Tom opened the garage door and walked us through the condo, explaining the various house rules. The house is in good shape, although the upstairs carpet is worn and stained. (Parts of it were wet.) In the kitchen, where there is a desktop computer, Tom specifically stated that the computer should remain "open to the Google page." Later, we thought about the computer camera and put the sock that Tom designated for the dishwasher (he explains the dishwasher and sock in the walkthrough) over the camera. Tom lives in the condo when it's not being rented through VRBO, so there are many personal effects located throughout. The bathrooms are modern and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking, although we purchased and used our own food, drinks, etc. There is another rental unit situated below this condo. It is on the ground floor and has its own front door. We are not sure why, but Tom requested access to it through our condo. As for sounds from the other unit, we heard a baby crying a couple of times; otherwise, it was mostly quiet. Over the course of our stay (five nights), we saw Tom on the property at least four times. Often he would sit on the bench situated right below the upstairs patio. This made using the patio difficult for us. One time our dog started barking when he saw Tom. We texted Tom and asked him if there was a problem with the property. He replied there was not. Another time we were walking our dog at the side of the condo and saw him walking with another person. We said hello, but he didn't acknowledge us. Later, I remarked on seeing him and he said he "was on the move." He doesn't seem completely comfortable with others staying in the condo, or at least not for the length of time we were there, which is probably why he texted frequently and was on the property so much. We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs in a similar price range and have never experienced this level of interaction from the owner. Typically, the owners have provided a list of rules and the keys and that's it. As with those properties, we respectfully followed the rules at Tom's place and "left it as we found it." We realized that personal downtime and privacy is very important to us, which is why we were not a good match for this property.

Why they chose this property

The best in Raleigh haha..

What makes this property unique

This is our primary residence and we only rent it out when we head out for vacation on a few weekends during the year. We're centrally located to downtown Raleigh and you can grab a bird scooter, lime bikes and there's also an R line bus that runs past our house every 15 minutes that could take you into downtown Raleigh. Being that this was the model, they spared no expense in making it right for us. We think you will enjoy it here.
