Tranquil Oasis: Serene Retreat with Pool
Terrific hosts. Very friendly and accommodating. I would absolutely rent from them again. Thank you to Daisy and the entire team.

Luxury home with private backyard, Prime Location
A beautiful house with every single thing we needed for a 5 night stay. All of our family absolutely loved the house and the neighborhood, nearby restaurants, shopping centers, and parks. You will not be disappointed!

Designer home close to RDU and downtown, sleeps 12
The space was accurately represented in the photos and generally met our expectations. The location was convenient and check-in was smooth. The living areas were comfortable for our group, though the property showed some signs of wear. While advertised for up to 12 people, the bathroom situation is something future guests should note - there are only two bathrooms, with the master bathroom being quite small and featuring a barn door that doesn't offer complete privacy. For larger groups, this could create some challenges with bathroom scheduling. Overall, we had a good stay, but would recommend this place for smaller groups (perhaps 6-8 people) rather than the maximum capacity of 12 if bathroom access and privacy are important to your group.

Heated Pool/Hot Tub/Dog & Family Friendly
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home in Cary for a friend’s wedding weekend in Raleigh! There were 8 of us, and the house was absolutely perfect—spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully stocked. We were especially touched by the welcome basket with snacks and goodies waiting for us when we arrived. The pool, hot tub, and back patio made it easy to relax and enjoy some downtime together. Jonathan was incredibly responsive and went out of his way to accommodate all of our requests. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

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.

Raleigh Retreat: 13 Guests, Large Backyard w Pool
We had a great stay - the house is spacious and beautiful. The screened in porch was fantastic, and the pool/backyard are like having your own private oasis. Thuong was a great host - very responsive before and during our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Gem w/ Balcony in Downtown Durham!
Beautiful and large home with generous space which ideal for families or a group. The neighborhood is quiet at night. It is probably walkable but we did not take advantage of that. Sam was helpful via messaging.

Walk Downtown from this Bright, Modern 3BR
Beautiful, modern home. Very clean. Tastefully decorated.

Spacious 8 Bed Home Near North Hills, DT, Airport
Cool house. Thanks for hosting my family. Towels, blankets, and dishes were readily available for us. The 1/2 bathroom and laundry room added convenience for us all as well.

Mini Mansion 4,100 sf NCSU/Downtown, 6br, 10 beds

Modern bathrooms & 1st floor bedroom, near RDU RTP
This property is in immaculate condition, the whole house has been fully renovated in a modern style including 3 full bathrooms. I loved the luxury master bathroom and leather luxury sofa set. The home is beautiful, spacious, 4th bedroom is on the 1st floor. House is in a great location, close to plenty of stores and restaurants for any budget!

2 Bed Bungalow Walking Distance to Downtown Cary
The property is compact and inviting, with abundant natural surroundings. Guests can relax and appreciate the attractive floral and arboreal landscaping. The home is impeccably clean, presenting a modern aesthetic with rustic elements.

William Strayhorn house of Carrboro
Hope was very responsive to messages. Check-in and check-out were flexible. Well equipped house - nice linens, lots of towels, coffee makers and coffee provided. House was lovely and well-furnished. Beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was quite walkable to groceries, shops and restaurants. In the heart of Carrboro (so slightly urban). One block from Weaver Street Market.

Riley’s home was carefully curated and thoughtfully organized. We loved our stay, and would recommend this place to anyone interested!

Elegant new 4 BR house, walk to downtown Raleigh
What a truly amazing place to stay. Myself and our crew were in Raleigh for a month long project and we could not have found a better place to stay for a month. It truly is a beautiful home. The kitchen is immaculate. The hosts are super nice And very responsive to any needs or requests. I would love to stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.

Modern Lakefront Home (paddle-board, kayak, sauna)
Ting's home was everything my family needed. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook for a big family. Everyone was confortable and felt at home. There is something for everyone, it's truly a beautiful home with great energy. We hope to stay again on our next visit!

Luxurious Modernist Tree House
As a seasoned business traveler, this home stands out as one of the best I’ve stayed in — anywhere, let alone in North Carolina. Private, peaceful, and cool in every sense of the word. No distractions, no noise — just the kind of vibe that lets you think clearly and sleep deep. It’s rare to find a pad this dialed-in. Will absolutely book again.

Cozy Home Near Cary & Apex w/ Porch & Fenced Yard
We had a great stay in Cary. While there were some hiccups with figuring out the keypad, our host was very responsive. We especially appreciated the well equipped and stocked kitchen! We were able to cook chili in the instant pot, waffles with the waffle iron and other meals. The house was stand alone and we enjoyed our privacy and quiet surroundings. It is a short walk to Thomas Brooks park and playground for the little ones. The driveway is a bit steep and so consider that if anyone in your party has mobility issues. Otherwise, we highly recommend!!

Your Private Island in the Center of the City
The house was perfect for our group, with four bedrooms and two separate sitting areas. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed for simple meals (and Publix is 5 minutes away). We particularly appreciated the Keurig and K-cups. Checkout and clean-up were simple and easy. Very quiet neighborhood with a large back yard backing to woods. It feels like you're far from the city, but downtown Durham and most things in RTP are really only a 10 minute drive away. I would pick this house again the next time I'm traveling to the Triangle area.
