1 story Ranch in South Durham/RTP/UNC/Duke/ RDU
Our family stayed at Robin's place for my daughter's graduation from Duke. It was a perfect spot. We all felt at home. It was private and comfortable and only a short ride to the university. Great find!

N. Raleigh Private Home with Amazing Pool
Great getaway with friends. Had some difficulty getting in but it was resolved with the host. The place was just as described with a beautiful setting and walkable neighborhood. Thank you!

Heather's Hut - An oasis in the heart of Raleigh
Amazing stay in Raleigh!! If you’re looking for a stunning pool and beautiful space this is perfect! She was very attentive and you can just tell she loves her space she has created. We loved it all, heating the pool was the best decision:)

Adorable Bungalow, Minutes from Downtown Durham
Great spot in Durham! Super clean, comfy beds, and had everything I needed. The location is awesome—just a few minutes from downtown, so it was easy to get around. Would definitely stay here again!

Family retreat w/ a pool-Durham
Yuan was an amazing host super accommodating with my last-minute booking after our original plans fell through. After a quick conversation, he had no problem with us bringing pets, which was a huge relief. The home was clean, in a quiet, lovely neighborhood, and bonus there’s a pool! Highly recommend.

Beautifully Updated Penthouse Condo in West Cary
The condo was wonderful. Our family of 5 was spaced out and plenty of room. It was comfortable and very accommodating. Would stay there again in the future.

Traditional 4BR Craftsman, In DT Durham, Near Duke
My family of 7 stayed here over Easter weekend and enjoyed this house very much. Lots of room to spread out, a well stocked kitchen to cook in and lots to walk to in the area. There are trains that run occasionally so it can be a bit noisy but Brad provides white noise machines in the bedrooms ( we personally did not use them). Brad is a great host and responds quickly to questions!

Home away from home in Durham with Private Pool!
The house was great! My kids love the pool and the location was super convenient to lots of restaurants. Dalia was super responsive and friendly!

Entire home in RTP near Duke, fenced backyard
Great spot for us to stay in between houses. Ideal setup for pets.

Gateway Getaway-Near RDU, RTP, Angus Barn,Downtown
Absolutely wonderful home and amazing host! It was extremely clean, everything was very comfortable, well stocked, beautiful private yard, and very well maintained. Eric was the nicest and most responsive host we have ever had. We will definitely stay again when we are in Raleigh.

Charming Trinity Park Garden Home Walkable to Duke
We really enjoyed our visit. This was our second time in a house hosted by Amy and Elizabeth and as before, they provided a great experience. The house was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. We enjoyed hanging out in the backyard garden, which was private and has nice furniture to sit on. Trinity Park is a nice neighborhood with beautiful historic homes. We were fortunate to be able to tour several of them as we were there during the neighborhood’s annual tour of homes. It’s close to Duke East campus and a short, easy drive into downtown Durham. I would stay there on a future visit.

Charming Handmade Retreat — 15 mins to Chapel Hill
I needed a quiet escape after a death in my family, and Erin’s place checked all the boxes. The home was clean and cozy. I highly recommend if you need somewhere peaceful to recharge away from it all.

Brand new home 3 miles to Duke & Downtown Durham
This house is exactly as described. It’s clean and comfortable. I needed help with the coffee maker on arrival and Bill responded quickly and was very nice and helpful. The neighborhood doesn’t have sidewalks and isn’t very walkable, but it was literally only ten minutes from everywhere I wanted to go!

HistoricallyHip on Hale/Walkable, 3 min to Duke
Our extended family had a wonderful stay at Stacy’s place. Great location, design and layout. Easy walk to 9th street and Duke East Campus. So much nicer to have a home to come back to during a busy graduation week instead of staying at a local hotel.

Stylish/historic home, walk to Duke & 9th Street!
Wonderful! We loved our stay which we had looked forward ro for nearly a year so we could gather with dear family and friends in Durham, so close to NCSSM— as our child graduated. thank you, Elizabeth and Amy, for a marvelous stay!

Charming Downtown Cary Bungalow with fenced yard
Jess made a stressful time relaxing. From months, to weeks, to days before our son’s wedding she was extremely accommodating! Even to allowing us to sleep a few more hours after the late night celebrations! We love that you love our fur babies as well! The beds were comfy and the couch and living space was perfect for sitting around relaxing!! Thank you Jess for everything!! God bless!

Luxe Modern Retreat *Entire Duplex/ Both Units!*
Lorel goes above and beyond! From the details to the spotless home, her home was wonderful! We greatly appreciated our stay and would stay there again.

Boho Downtown 5BD Home•BBQ•Mini Hot Tub•Pool Table
Our stay at this Airbnb was truly exceptional! The house was clean, well-stocked with everything we needed, and perfectly situated in a fantastic location—easily walkable to downtown Durham and all it has to offer. It was the ideal spot for our small group, providing both comfort and convenience. Cosmo was incredibly clear and easy to work with, making the entire process seamless from start to finish. His thoughtful communication and attention to detail made us feel truly welcomed. If you're looking for a stress-free, comfortable, and well-equipped stay in Durham, this is the place to book! We will absolutely consider another stay here in the future.

Villa Pinea, secluded MCM gem close to UNC & Duke!
Loved our stay at Villa Pinea. We are MCM lovers and this home is a perfect time capsule. The design and furniture are super livable and beautiful. The space is perfect for a long stay. There are spaces for work, rest and hanging out. The kitchen has everything and the listing is well stocked with all you need for coffee or big dinner. During the day, the house is serene and peaceful with views of nature from every window. At night you will be joined by all the sounds of nature including frogs and an occasional screech owl. This is a great place for rest and relaxation and Durham/ Chapel Hill are both 10 minutes away.

Downtown Newly Renovated
As a traveling blues band (Piper & The Hard Times), we stay in AirBnB locations around the country, and Joseph's place was one of the best! It was clean with comfy beds, quiet surroundings, and the front porch is wonderful! It made for a relaxing hang out after our show that night. Highly recommended!

The Perfect Getaway on 2.5 Acres in Hillsborough
We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The house was absolutely perfect, and the property is stunning. The upgrades and charm were perfect. Our family had the best trip!

Comfy bungalow (2 BR, 1BA) for any travel need
Kara made us feel right at home. She was very easy to reach and communicate with for any additional needs we had. The place was clean and cozy.

The Angier House | Modern Smart Home | 4Car Garage
Very comfortable, clean, bright, and airy. Had everything we needed and more - fans, basic kitchen and pantry items, cleaning items, soaps, towels, etc. All the hand soaps and toiletries smelled amazing. Very easy to access and we felt right at home. This place is gorgeous. It’s new construction with high ceilings, and was styled with care from the fixtures to the decor all while maintaining comfort. I traveled with 4 older folks and my young child. Low couches and steep stairs were difficult for the older family members. This was about them and not this location, but be sure you’re comfortable with stairs. If this is an issue, you can come and go by the front door with only a few steps to manage and there’s one main floor bedroom. All the rooms have gorgeous transom windows - this is not the place for you if you sleep in total darkness. You’re near railroad tracks, a busy road, etc. Inside is quiet enough if you’re used to city noise, but if not, bring ear plugs or stay elsewhere.

Tapin7 Oasis
Very comfortable. Unexpected amenities include a massage chair and a clothing steamer. Great bathrooms.
