Fantastic

We had a perfect stay at this charming and surprisingly roomy bungalow in a terrific location. Everything was clean and new and worked!  The light was wonderful, the showers were hot and luxurious, and there were so many helpful tiuches, such as luggage stands and neat hangers in the plentiful and large closets. Stacy stayed in close but unobtrusive touch. We will definitely try to stay here again when we are next in Durham!

Amazing Place for a Durham Getaway!

We were in Durham to see a Duke basketball game, and this property was perfect! It was exactly as described - beautiful, clean, and with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable visit. The decor was tasteful, giving the place a warm and inviting vibe, and the beds were super comfortable, making it easy to get a good night's sleep. The location was perfect! We were close to Duke University, with tons of fantastic restaurants, coffee, and shops nearby, yet the property itself was in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, so we felt like we had our own little retreat. Our host was fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. She provided local recommendations, checked in to see if we needed anything, and was always quick to respond to any questions. Overall, this VRBO was the perfect place to take in Duke University, unwind, and explore the Durham area. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend it!

Best girl weekend oasis

Met my bff for a weekend and the house was just a perfect mix of cozy chic. I always have a bag packed with paper towels, dish soap, hand soap you name it and I did not have to use one thing. Truly the house was such a nice quiet spot for a girl weekend. Showers are to die for, beds so so dreamy. Can’t wait to go back!
