Holiday rentals with a kayak in Durham

Legit best air bnb we have had. We go to Raleigh frequently to visit family, we have never gotten a place that was attached to the main house. It was totally fine, had its own entrance, great kitchen, lots of stuff inside for the kids to do like coloring books and puzzles. Location just outside the beltline off Poole road. I cooked a full thanksgiving turkey in the kitchen with homemade from scratch stuffing and garlic bread. Double decker oven, cast iron skillet, great ceramic trays for serving. Was great. Definitely hope to return for our next Raleigh visit.

My son and I now have a new favorite fishing getaway. We absolutely loved Eunice's cottage and how easy it was to get out and fish all day. Kayaks, canoe, and a fishing pole were provided, and we had the whole pond to ourselves. It was clear how thoughtful and detailed Eunice is simply by how stocked the place was. We had an unexpected fall of out of the canoe 😅, and thankfully detergent was waiting for us in the laundry room. I also forgot a few items for our grilling night, and she had everything I needed. The only thing I wish I had realized the home didn't have before arriving is an oven as we had bright a ready-to-bake Papa Murphy's pizza. 🤦‍♂️ But, we improvised by grilling it instead, and it was delicious.! Just the absolute perfect place for a father-son weekend excursion. We cannot WAIT to come back and keep catching more fish!

I live next door so I rented Jeremy’s airstream for my daughter and her boyfriend. It was a great way to extend accommodations to my loved ones and they could just walk over to spend time with us. Great choice! Will do it again!!

Our stay at Brian’s home was truly a delightful experience. For 30 days, we found solace in this one-story, three-bedroom house that catered to our specific needs, especially considering a family member was on the mend from major surgery. Due to the need for accessibility, we required a home without steps, close to Duke University Hospital, and Brian’s residence fit our requirements perfectly. Nestled in a serene, residential neighborhood, Brian’s house offered all the amenities one could expect. The tranquility of the location provided us with a peaceful retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The house was equipped with modern conveniences that ensured our comfort and safety during our stay. Brian’s home was more than just a place to stay; it was a haven that offered us comfort and security during a challenging time. With its strategic location near Duke University and its cozy, well-equipped interiors, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Jaime's place was a perfect weekend family getaway. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we could've needed (maybe the best stocked Airbnb I've stayed in, and the labels and instructions were perfect). Still, the greatest value was the location - we used the dock and paddled in the lake every day, we took in sunsets on the water, we felt private and secluded but still just a few minute drive from town. Jaime was easy to communicate with and made sure the stay was perfect. We'd love to come back!

I was booked to stay at another airbnb which canceled the day I need to check in but Pamela was very accommodating. She approved my last minute booking, literally a few hours before my arrival. She was very detailed and answered any questions I had very promptly. Great host !

This was our second stay at this great air bnb. We love the proximity to NC State and everything you'd want to do in downtown Raleigh. Amy is an excellent host. For anyone with a student at NC State, the open kitchen and family room area and the additional living room with a huge sectional make this a great place to call home base.

The backyard and pond are super nice. The cabin is well appointed and clean. There are several homes around so you get the remote experience without being alone. Cleaner was super nice and does a fantastic job!

The setting of this home is quite lovely. Very close to downtown Raleigh and yet we were in the middle of very peaceful, quiet, natural area. We saw numerous birds and deer right from the back porch and could easily walk to the Falls Lake area to hike around this beautiful lake. The house is well-stocked and very spacious and welcoming. Everything was easy to find and Shannon's directions were very clear. We came to visit our daughter in Raleigh and were all able to stay together very comfortably. Shannon was super responsive and friendly. I would definitely rent this home again!
