Our second stay and just as great as the first time. The house and property are top notch as well as the host, Eric. We have rented many places and this is the best and most accurately described by far. Every amenity we needed, clean, comfortable, and a great location for our needs. Another great stay!!

The house was perfect for our needs, and was exactly as described. The host was easy to communicate with, provided very clear instructions, and even gave us suggestions on places to visit/eat/etc. The house was spotlessly clean. Little extras were provided, such as coffee, half-and-half (such a lovely touch), and snacks. We will definitely recommend this property, and will stay again the next time we are in Raleigh.

Excellent Hospitality and Stay

It was very welcoming and comfortable with every detail taken care of -- down to having fresh, cold water in the dog bowl ready for us when we arrived. The property is in pristine condition, incredibly well maintained, and in a perfect location for accessing the greater Raleigh area. We highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here again when our travels take us to Raleigh. If we could give 20 stars for the review we would!

Beautiful home, thoughtfully decorated and organized. Clean and cozy with a fenced in yard for my pup. Our family stopped in Raleigh to have an overnight and pick up a cousin from the airport on our way to the beach and this home was the perfect spot to rest and recharge. Eric, our host, was amazing. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

This property was awesome! Outstanding communication with the host. The location was absolutely perfect for what we needed to do. The yard is perfect for a pet. The neighborhood was nice to walk around at night. This house had literally everything we needed for our stay. Offroad parking, and it was clean, clean, clean. If we have business down in this area again, we are definitely staying here. Great job!

Excellent VRBO! We enjoyed our stay very much. Definitely the best rental we have ever stayed in. The home is immaculately clean. The home is very nicely decorated and is very comfortable. Every essential was included...linens, towels, soap, shampoo, hair dryers, fully stocked kitchen, etc. There were extra items generously provided by the host as well...snacks, coffee, tea, water, board games, extra blankets, etc. The host has thought of every detail. Every switch is labeled so we didn't have to guess which ones to use for the lights and fans. The fenced in backyard is cute and private. Guests also have access to the garage for parking in addition to the driveway. The property is all very nicely maintained. The neighborhood is very nice as well. The home is in a convenient location close to stores & restaurants. Eric is a wonderful host. He was great to communicate with and made the entire rental process very pleasant and easy. I highly recommend this cozy home!

Great VRBO Experience!

I’m a seasoned real estate broker who owns a property management company. I’m hard to impress. This home and the property manager succeeded where many others have failed. He was friendly, clear and concise in his communication, and provided too many thoughtful details to mention. We would stay again! Thanks for a comfortable spot to call home for a night while visiting for medical appointments at Duke!

Fantastic property! Amazingly well stocked. He went the extra mile and had snacks waiting for us when we arrived. One of our family members left something at the house. He contacted us immediately and waited for her to return to retrieve the item. Would definitely book this home again when in the Raleigh area! Thank you for a great stay!

Home Away From Home

We had a fantastic time at this property! The house and the surrounding property were absolutely beautiful. It was fully equipped with all the essentials and more—towels, linens, cooking utensils, and everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail made it feel like a true home away from home.Our four-legged companion had an amazing time, especially with the spacious backyard and porch. We enjoyed taking a few walks around the peaceful neighborhood in the mornings and evenings. It's quiet, with plenty of sidewalks, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll.The only downside was the road directly behind the house. It can get a bit busy and loud at times, but if you're used to living in a suburban or metro area, it likely won’t be much of a bother.Overall, if you're in the area, I highly recommend this house for a relaxing and enjoyable stay!

Best Rental Home Ever!

We stayed at Gateway Getaway for 10 nights while our son was at Wake Forest & Duke running camps. Because of the length of stay, we really needed a place we could call home and settle in easily with our pups and remote working. Hands down, it's the best rental home we have ever stayed. The home is immaculately clean and very tastefully decorated. The kitchen offered everything we needed to cook meals - the gas grill was a huge plus. There were snacks, coffee, tea, etc. available to us upon arrival. When we arrived, the raised water/food bowls were already set up with fresh water for our pups. At that point, we knew we picked the right place! The fenced yard was so nice for our pups to stretch their legs beyond leash walks. The neighborhood was great for pup walks, too. Eric is an amazing host. Very responsive. Cared about our stay. He has thought of every little detail to welcome you into his rental home. We cannot say enough good things about our stay at Gateway Getaway! Truly deserves a 10 star rating. Thank you Eric!!
