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
We came to Raleigh with the family for the weekend and Nicole’s home was lovely. The neighborhood was very safe and walkable. The only concern we had was the home seemed a little dusty but otherwise we would highly recommend to any families visiting Raleigh. Having a pool was a great bonus!

Heather's Hut - An oasis in the heart of Raleigh
Such a wonderful stay! Heather was a great host. The house was beautiful and the pool was fabulous. We loved the area so much that we want to move to Raleigh. Can’t wait to come back and stay at Heather’s hut again!

Adorable Bungalow, Minutes from Downtown Durham
A lovely home in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, a great place to relax after a busy day of work or play. Brad was very attentive to any concerns that may have come up, and provided some great suggestions of activities and places to eat in the welcome guide. Laundry on site made my extended stay feel more like home, and the fireflies at night were a nostalgic touch. 10/10 would stay again!

Lux King SuiteCentral to Duke, UNC & RDU Airport
My group enjoyed our stay at Brad’s place. Check in was smooth and easy. The home was very clean and nice. There were also lots of towels, wash clothes, and linens for our group.

Cottage & Pool, Steps to Historic Downtown
My stay at the cottage was better than I could have hoped! I think the description somewhat undersells the home, with its original wood, multiple fireplaces, and cozy charm. The home was peaceful, but centrally located enough to make walking into town very easy. Sarah was communicative, friendly, and helpful. Would absolutely recommend a stay here! My only note would be for taller individuals--given it's an older building there is not a ton of head clearance, particularly in the bedroom.

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.

Home away from home in Durham with Private Pool!

Entire home in RTP near Duke, fenced backyard
Nice and clean place. Ngan is so responsive and really helpful as a host. We enjoyed our stay!

Luxe Modern Retreat *Entire Duplex/ Both Units!*
Lorel’s place was exactly what we were looking for- a great place to stop over, to break up a long drive. Spotless, well appointed, very close to downtown/restaurants/breweries, and the bed mattress was excellent!

Luxury Modern Suite W/ Private Deck
This place is amazing and felt like home! Desire communicates really well and very responsive. Would recommend staying here!

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.

2BR Durham/West End House with Spare Room
Jesse's place was wonderful for our stay. We stayed here for a week and felt right at home. We were able to walk to a quick breakfast just a block away, grocery options two blocks away, and an easy walk downtown in the evening. We even hopped on the fare-free public bus for one trip. The house is easy to use, and having access to the washer/dryer is a definite plus. Having labels on all of the light switches was a convenience that we hadn't seen at other rentals before. We especially liked sitting on the porch with morning coffee. At times the neighborhood noise was a bit loud, but some of that will be lessened once the construction next door is done, so that isn't an inherent issue with the rental. Overall Jesse's place was great and his responsiveness along the way was really appreciated. Durham was a lot of fun for us during our stay (both for work and for fun), and we would rent here again in a heartbeat next time around.

Downtown Newly Renovated
Excellent value in a downtown Durham location. Four full-size bedrooms and a great kitchen and dining room for group dinners. Noisy street meant it might not be ideal for working remotely or young children but was great for a group of friends hanging out for the weekend.

Cedar Express Unit near Duke/UNC/Downtown/NCCU
Our 3-night stay at Andrey’s Airbnb in Durham was comfortable and convenient. We were in Durham for a graduation at Duke. Our stay was seamless from easy accessibility, free parking, clean comfortable convenient space. The beds were comfortable. I really appreciated the white linens and bright room lights as it felt extra clean. Snacks and drinks, including water bottles in the fridge and coffee pods and teabags were provided. The place was well appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay, and even included washer/dryer, clothes steamer, electric kettle, coffee maker, hair dryer and flat iron. I would recommend this place and return for future stays while in Durham.

Durham Dwelling
Shea was super helpful and kind :) Her place was in a very convenient location and had everything you need, plus some comfortable touches. The only negative things of note are that the bed isn't exactly the most comfortable (personal preference and comes with the bnb territory), and the neighbors were quite active. They were out every time I left or came back to the place, and for some reason, they had an alarm going off every 3 minutes for hours at night every night at least when I was there in June. But again comes with the territory, can't control your neighbors. Just worth pointing out, they are close and not exactly quiet. Privacy and peace aren't this place's forte, but it was perfectly comfortable for what I needed as a fellow city dweller. Nothing was bothersome enough to knock it a star :)

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.

The Perfect Getaway on 2.5 Acres in Hillsborough
We had a wonderful stay at William's place! The house was spotless, modern, and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, which made meals super easy. Our kids absolutely loved the tree house in the backyard - such a fun and unique touch! The master bathroom felt like a spa, with a gorgeous glass shower and soaking tub. It was peaceful, quiet home with the bonus of laundry machines, which came in very handy. William was a fantastic host - a great communicator and incredibly supportive throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

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.

Downtown Mid-Century Dream House
When I reached, it was freshly cleaned and great smelling. Loved the gift of basket left by Ashley on the counter. Appliances worked well, bathroom was clean although the wash basin space was pretty narrow. You do have to get your own kitchen and bathroom supplies, including hair dryer and dishwasher soap, especially if you re in for a long haul. The neighborhood is noisy and you can hear the TV from next door in the evenings. Overall great experience.
