Peaceful & relaxing retreat

My family of four adults sibling met here for a nephew’s wedding. It was the perfect location for us to come together for different locations and celebrate this long weekend together. It was so relaxing and the beds are very comfortable! I love that each room feels like its own space, love having a TV in my room!

Terrific location and beautiful, comfortable home!

We wanted a central location in the Triangle area as we’re looking for a home there and also wanted to sample some of the wonderful nearby restaurants. This home was simply perfect for all of that and more! Beautifully decorated and remodeled mid century home with comfortable seating and sleeping, great open kitchen and gorgeous fireplace! These hosts thought of everything and were easy to communicate with - also very helpful. You’re going to enjoy your stay here!

Most serene experience!

I stayed here for about a week with my husband and my daughter, and we thoroughly enjoyed our entire stay. The kitchen and bath have all the amenities that we need so we feel like at home. We spent a lot of time chilling on the covered patio, which we do not have here in Los Angeles. My anxiety and stress were completely gone while we were here. Now we want to move to Cary!

Great House, Great Neighborhood

This house is a remodeled mid century modern house is located in a quiet, well established neighborhood in Cary. Four main things I look for in a VRBO....cleanliness, all appliances and HVAC work properly, comfortable linens/bed, and a well appointed kitchen. This property checked all those boxes and more. The house has a great outdoor space. The deck is outside and they also have an adjacent screened in porch with a great seating space and ping pong table. The kitchen was better equipped than most VRBOs. We found the location to be very convenient and quiet. A great find and we'll be back.

I am very sorry you were not 100% satisfied with your experience. 99% of our guests we have excellent communication with. It is very important that guests complete the processing and verification portion of registration so they will receive the important information about checkin instructions and the home specifics. Guests should read thoroughly the WELCOME BOOK prior to arriving as it contains everything guests need to know.

Beautiful Home, Wonderful Stay

This was a beautiful home that met our needs perfectly. We were visiting Cary for a family wedding. The house was conveniently located to everything we needed. 5 of us stayed in the house and other family members dropped in and out. The owners have thought of everything with a well appointed kitchen, nice linens, comfortable beds, toiletries, games, and more. The furniture is beautiful and comfortable, and the layout is great. We loved the screened in porch and had lots of fun playing ping pong. The kitchen is great size with pretty much all you need for cooking in or reheating takeout. Food Lion is .5 miles away. This was a great find!
