Durham visit

Our group had a wonderful stay. The house was walkable to many places we wanted to go and we especially enjoyed spending time on the front porch. Highly recommend for groups looking to be close to Duke's campus!

Great spot for a family of four in Durham. There was an early spring heat wave and they promptly got window units installed upstairs. Clean and comfy stay.

Home was convenient to Duke Hospital. Businesses are within walking distance. Checkin was easy. Driveway off street was nice for unloading. Home is as pictured. Bed and bedding was very clean and comfortable. Master on suite bath was wonderful! We utilized the front porch everyday, it is set up beautifully and has a selection of seating areas.

Charming and Comfortable Stay!

My partner and I chose this property to host a small dinner with friends to celebrate New Year’s Eve. The hosts were incredibly attentive, quick to respond, and kind. The space was clean and comfortable, perfect for the 6 guest limit. Though we only stayed one night, we think that this home would be great for a longer stay. The proximity to Durham landmarks and activities was very convenient, and the hosts did a wonderful job sending recommendations. Loved this place!

Overall, very pleased with our stay. Only complaint would be the dryer, which took 3+ hours to dry a medium size load of summer clothes.

Enjoyed our stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay st this immaculate property. The property is an older home which has been restored. The bathrooms and kitchen have been beautifully updated. The surrounding areas have sidewalks for day and evening walks, and the location is close to Duke East campus and Trinity Park. There are many places to eat close by. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to return.

The house is older and really cute inside. The downstairs bedroom / bathrooms were updated. We didn’t cook, but fridge worked great. Ice trays were helpful and we appreciated having coffee grounds and filters available. Linens were clean and plenty. Sheets and bedding were comfy. The only thing I didn’t care for was the window unit and spot cooler upstairs. They worked, but were loud and the cooler kept cycling and waking me up. I ended up moving downstairs the 2nd night and was very comfortable. Check-in/out was simple.

I did not spend much time at the house due to other business in Durham but it was in a nice neighborhood near Duke West Campus and Ninth Street, and I enjoyed the porch with a swing, the big kitchen and the bathroom attached to the master bedroom. The house is on the older side and smelled vaguely of marijuana when I arrived, which wasn't a big deal, but the king bed in the master bedroom definitely needs some attention. It sagged a lot in the middle and was actually tilted down toward the headboard. Otherwise, the house worked well for this visit, and communication with Dylan was good.

Really convenient location for event at Duke. Close to groceries and restaurants. Older charming home, and well cleaned. Good stay at this price point. The owner sent a lengthy message prior to check in with the details.The toilet/bath area for the master has a smoked glass door, so be aware if you are staying with multiple people and privacy is a concern. There is another bath with a regular door right outside the master, so that helped. And a nice bathroom upstairs as well.The upstairs is cooled with a portable AC unit, and it was quite warm when we arrived late at night. Not sure I’d want to sleep up there in summer. The unit could use a few more towels and silverware/dishes. The water pressure for showers was a bit weak, but the temperature was good and there seemed to be enough hot water. Would love to see some sort of curtain over the glass by the front door. Felt a bit exposed at night. Overall, a fine stay. Thank you.

Quiet get away

We arrived an he early had no issue with check in host provided a huge list of things to do and know for area. We ended up renting the back space too since my 74 yr old mom decided to come along for Christmas visit. Door dashed some Christmas lights Butler is around the corner from house. The house is older and has some uniqueness too it. The tile floors and updated bathrooms were nice. The gas stove was a nice change to the other Vrbo we have stayed at. Overall very nice location the neighbor is friendly as well since it has semi shared driveway

Very cute property with a lot of great charm. Towels were provided in each of the bedrooms, and we had everything there that we needed for the weekend. My group loved the living room, kitchen, and downstairs bedroom/bathrooms. However, the upstairs bedrooms were not quite as nice. The beds were okay, but the floors creaked so loud that they could be heard by every other guest in the other rooms. The upstairs AC window unit was beyond rattly. I slept with earplugs not just because of that, but because of the drag racing that occurred half a block down the street every night of our Thurs-Sun stay between midnight and 2am (not something the owners can help, of course, but something to be aware of). Although the whole house was very tidy, my housemates discovered several roaches in the few days we were there.I'd certainly recommend this house, especially if you just plan to use the downstairs bedroom. If you don't need to turn on the upstairs window AC, I'm sure it would be much quieter. Hopefully the drag racing doesn't happen every single night. Overall it was still a very good stay.

House is nice with up to date appliances. Kitchen, Bathrooms and living room were all great. Master bedroom was good other bedrooms - we thought there were queen beds so it was tight.Also it seemed there there was something under the floor of the master bedroom and there were ants in the extra bath on the first floor. Maybe due to temperature change????

Porch view

We loved this property. On the warm days and even through a thunderstorm we sat on that porch and read and watched the world go by. The kitchen is big with a large refrigerator, dishwasher and table that easily sits 6-7. The house is charming and for us was easy access to our kids, shopping and great restaurants on 9th street. And this place is clean and well stocked with everything you’ll need for cooking. Dylan is very quick to respond to any questions you may have. We can’t wait to rent this home again.
