The host never responded and never received an access code. Never able to stay here. Place looked run down. Had to get last minute refund and find last minute accommodations.
This house was perfect for our kids! They were so sad to leave they cried. They had decorations put up our of reach of little hands and plenty of fun toys and the outdoor play structure that was a blast. If your looking for a home your comfortable in with your children, this is the place to book!
Postives...The house was perfect for our double family to stay for a funeral from florida. Kids really enjoyed the kids space. Negatives....not the cleanest. Found several extremely dirty dishes. Kids play area was a disaster. Not enough coffee cups. We had 5 adults and only 3 cups. The towels were really lacking too. The one bedroom light needed to be replaced. Kept flickering. The one rooms needs blinds and curtain for privacy. Could not get any of the tvs to play besides the projector.

House was just as posted in pics! Kids loved it, we couldnt take them away from the playing areas.
Lexi, our host, was really supportive as well, we arrived a couple of hours earlier than our check-in time and helped us out, even waiving the fee.
If you want a place to connect with nature, this is the place!

The house was nice but needed attention. The blinds were broken in the downstairs bedrooms and the washer made an awful noise. Hopefully the owners can look into the issues.
We stayed here with some of our dance friends for a competition at Fuquay High School. The neighborhood is charming and kid friendly. It’s a great location to town but yet feels so secluded. The host communication was great and she was able to suggest a fun afternoon activity after a morning of dancing. We appreciate you sharing your home with us!
Very cozy house in a quiet neighborhood. Close to anything you’d need. Renters are very communicative and professional! It felt like a fantastic blend of a cozy home to stay, and a hotel experience!
Place was perfect for us. We pretty much just slept there and had breakfast as Family Thanksgiving get together is held in Apex so most meals, turkey trot, pickleball tourney and games are held there.
The home was clean and as described. No issues except that bath towels located in the top of the closet in the master bath were damp. Very easy check in and check out. Plenty of room for entire party.
We enjoyed our stay at this house. We arrived waaay to early and the owners allowed us to check in early. They usually have an early check-in fee and they were gracious enough to waive the fee. The location was great. This is a house that is great for families with young children. Very accommodating.
We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of space for everyone to sleep. The outside looks like it is small, but dont let that deceive you. Nice backyard for the kids to play as well. We were only there for a couple of days, but worth it.
We would definitely stay at this property again. It had plenty of beds and sleeping options for our family. My kids enjoyed playing with the toys and on the swing set outside. The house was very clean!
We all had a great time, the kids enjoyed the play area, there was a little mud by play area outside and a tree hanging over fence, and the tv in the master bedroom didn't work, but over all we enjoyed ourselves there
The location was perfect for family wedding. 4 miles from venue. I agree with other reviewers, it could use some tlc, freshen up, but it worked out for our trip. We had a couple of issues, the host was quick to respond. Lots of parking. Lots of space.

About the host
Hosted by Alexa Whittington
Hello and welcome! I'm Lexi, your host and a proud North Carolina native. I've spent my entire life in this beautiful state, starting out in Smithfield, NC. The house you're staying in is special to me—it's the first property I purchased and a home where we've shared countless family memories.
When I'm not hosting, I enjoy traveling, spending quality time with family and friends, shopping, indulging in delicious food, and tackling escape rooms. I'm also a thrill-seeker who loves visiting amusement parks for the rush of roller coasters!
Being a VRBO host is a passion of mine because it gives me the chance to share my world with travelers like you. I love offering you a glimpse into the home where my kids and I have grown, and the opportunity to experience the charming state of North Carolina from my perspective. Enjoy your stay and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
Why they chose this property
Choosing this neighborhood was an easy decision for us. The moment we saw our home—resembling a quaint cottage nestled among mature trees and perched on a large wooded lot—it felt like the perfect setting for our family. With nearly an acre of land, it offered ample space to plant fruit trees and cultivate a thriving garden, fulfilling our dream of a homestead lifestyle.
The location offers an ideal blend of convenience and tranquility. Being just outside the city limits of Fuquay Varina and Wake County, we enjoy close proximity to all the amenities one could need, yet we're free from the constraints of an HOA. This balance means we can enjoy the best of both worlds—urban convenience without the bustle.
What truly endears us to this community is its peacefulness and the genuine warmth of its residents. It's common to see neighbors strolling with their families or dogs, exchanging friendly waves as they pass by. The houses are thoughtfully spaced apart, providing a sense of privacy and space that invites relaxation and personal enjoyment.
In this neighborhood, we've found not just a house, but a home—a place where our family can grow, explore, and create cherished memories within a welcoming and serene environment.
