Great stay

We stayed at this awesome VRBO. We came for our daughter’s graduation from Duke and found it to be close to campus, near grocery stores, a really nice neighborhood for walking, and walkable access to great restaurants and shops. Lots of laughter and good memories were made here. Loved the bonus fire pit. Great stay!!!

Felt Hip on Hale

We enjoyed easy access to everything that we wanted to do and took daily walks in the neighborhood as well. Friendly spot. Nice older home which has been completely redone. Flexible owners were great with communication.

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!

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!
