Loved our stay!

Our grandson was admitted to Duke and wanted us to join him for "Admit Day". We were able to walk to Duke, so the location was great. The bungalow was lovingly restored. Restaurants within walking distance.

We have stayed at a number of properties the past two weeks and this one was by far the BEST and far exceeded all expectations! The home is very clean and cozy. Everything even down to the light switches were clearly marked so we had no questions at all as to how to find anything or operate anything within the home. The decor was beautiful and felt very cozy. The location was excellent. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Would love to stay here again and my two teenagers agree!

Durham Trip

Upon arrival you are instantly greeted by beautiful hardwood floors. The immaculate layout of this little cottage & the bright open kitchen painted in beautiful neutral tones is so inviting. Each bedroom with its own bath is decorated to perfection. The screened in back porch is a wonderful place to relax.

Great location and place to stay

The location is very good if you’re heading to Duke for any reason. It’s also close to the downtown for restaurants. The house is very clean and the host is very responsive.

Clean. Beautifully designed. Spacious. I loved this place and would have liked to have stay longer! The screened in porch was also fantastic on a cool fall evening. It was super close to downtown (and to my fav sushi place - M Sushi!) and the communication with Dylan was excellent. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Stay!

We absolutely loved our stay in this Durham Bungalow. It was perfect for our group! It was close to everything and nothing was more than a 10 minute drive. The house itself was so cute and we would definitely return the next time we are in Durham!

Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Although the home is newly renovated, the owner’s responses, remedies, and overall safety standards were far below acceptable.Before arrival, the owner refused to store even a few bags, claiming they couldn’t ensure their safety—something any experienced host should easily accommodate. Upon arrival, the WiFi didn’t work, and the access point provided didn’t exist. Despite multiple messages, the owner only replied after repeated attempts, insisting there was an AT&T outage—something I confirmed was untrue. Nearly 24 hours later, we discovered the issue was simply incorrect WiFi credentials.The toilets were another major concern: every seat in the house was dangerously loose and remained unrepaired for over two days, only fixed the afternoon before checkout. For elderly guests, this could have been a serious hazard.Communication throughout was slow, unhelpful, and often dismissive. The promised “comprehensive local guide” never appeared, the home instructions were missing, and the kitchen was severely understocked. The broiler barely worked, the fireplace was deemed a hazard, and basic linens were insufficient for our stay.Do not expect much from this rental. The screened porch overlooks a dirt patch, the home is poorly maintained, and the owner’s responsiveness and attention to guest safety are grossly inadequate.
