Great spot!

This is an INCREDIBLY spacious property that's comfortable for groups of friends in need of both good common space and more private spots to sleep in. The host was incredibly communicative and helpful! The location is also in close enough proximity to all bus stops needed to get to Duke campus, which is what we were attending for.

Great house, great location

Stunning property ideal for visit from adult members of our extended family. Ample parking on site, rare for close-to-downtown Durham. Great.large, Southern-style front porch. Large bedrooms in beautiful 2-story. Would definitely rent again.

Exactly what you see is what you get

The pictures are completely accurate. 4 large bedrooms and 3 large bathrooms. 2 living rooms allow for the kids to watch TV in one space and the adults to relax and talk in the other. The front porch is terrific. The house is older. There are touches that could be updated (kitchen floor is wonky and there are ceiling tiles that need to be looked at upstairs but this is an older house. Neighbors were nice and friendly. There was coffee and fixings when we checked in as well as paper towels and toilet paper which many places lack. You could walk to the market and downtown was so close. All in all, we are glad we chose it. It was clean, charming and as the kids has plenty of room to run, we knew it was the right place. We brought our own baby gates to keep the little ones away from the stairs and this might be something to add on the host side. Thanks again for everything

About the host

Hosted by Lamonte

I'm a married father of two who's passion is family and friends. We designed our place to feel like home.

Why they chose this property

Cared for with love over the years. This house has been in the family since the 1970s. Its not just an investment. We take good care of it and constantly improve it as it will always be in our family.

What makes this property unique

This is a very large home and perfect for large family stays. It feels like a home away from home. That was the goal. You cant get this buying 2 or 3 hotels rooms. Your family is split up and not enjoying each other. Stay with us and have your entire family and extended family under one roof.
