My husband and I had a wonderful time at Phil & Margaret's condo in Pinehurst, NC. When we met Phil upon our arrival, he was so kind and really made us feel comfortable and welcome. Phil and Margaret go to every extent to really make this place special. Every little detail is attended to. If you are coming to Pinehurst, this is definitely a perfect place to stay. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the big hotel "The Carolina" and the little town. We just had such a pleasant stay. This VRBO rental was really above and beyond what we expected. Thanks again! -Adrien & Ted

Owner response:In addition to the much appreciated kind words about us and our condo, this review says something important about Pinehurst. Our guests are often surprised to learn how “walker-friendly” Pinehurst is – so many things you can walk to – the country club, hotel, fine restaurants, etc. You certainly can’t say that about many other golf destinations such as Myrtle Beach or Kiawah.

We enjoyed our visit to this beautiful well appointed condo. It was clean and well kept with lots of special touches. Perfect location, close to many golf courses and walking distance to the village. Phil and Margaret were very helpful, booking golf and recommending restaurants.

This condo was perfect for us. Close to the Pinehurst golf club and central in location. Phil and Margaret were very gracious and help us with our tee times. We will stay here again in the future.

We enjoyed our weekend in the condo! First night, we ordered in pizza from Vito's and it was delicious. Ate at The Track restaurant, walking distance, every morning. The Track is a must for breakfast or lunch! Went and watched our son play at the beautiful NCCC courses and the last night we ate at Thai Basil's, which was yummy! Condo is super clean and very cozy and the the golf course view room was a plus. I couldn't believe how quiet everything was around us so two nights of really good sleep.

Owner response:Early morning walks to the Track Restaurant are even better in winter when trotters are exercising. Some drivers seem to sing as they go round and round. Horse's breaths add to the morning mist--a little magic gem in the midst of all that is Pinehurst.

If your looking to stay in a great location; quiet & private but convenient to everything, you should consider this condo. We stayed for 2 weeks and wished we could have stayed longer. The first floor location with parking in front made it easy to come & go. I enjoyed playing the local courses all at great deals thru GolfNow. My wife,not a golfer,enjoyed riding with me or simply enjoying the condo patio relaxing or watching the golfers play by. The owners Phil & Martha really though of everything and were a pleasure to work with. We look forward to returning in the spring for an even longer stay.

Owner response:Some of our repeat guests begin thinking of our condo as like a second home. . .

This is a super nice, immaculately clean and generously equipped condo. We had a great 4 nights stay at a very reasonable price. Although we don't golf, there were more than enough area attractions to keep us occupied each day. Loved visiting the pottery shops, antique stores and historic villages. Highly recommend this property.

Owner response:Recent guests have also participated in a croquet tournament and equestrian activities.

From football fans visiting for ACC game (their team won) and golf: Thanks. . . We're sitting on the plane in Raleigh-Durham now. We had a great trip! Thanks so much for the use of your condo. It is wonderful! It truly is just a hop from the clubhouse. I had the chance to play courses 5, 2 and 4. I enjoyed them all very much! It's hard to beat the prestige of No 2, but they were all gorgeous. Stayed out of most of the sand on 4, so that was good. We hope to make it back soon! . . . Thanks again for the great stay! We hope to get back soon and if we do, we'll most definitely be checking on your condo's availability. Thanks so much!

Note left by couple staying in Pinehurst on their way back home from vacation at Outer Banks: "We had a fantastic time during our stay. Your condo was perfect. We really appreciated how well equipped it was. We enjoyed watching golfers make their way to the 18th green from your patio. We hope to return some day. Sincerely. . ."

Stayed for a week in April. Great owners and location. A short walk across the street to the clubhouse. I enjoyed a round of golf with the owner also.

Owner response:Not long ago we met Vince and family at event at the club. They now visit their condo not far from ours. They were inspired to buy their own shortly after their 2008 stay. Welcome, neighbors!!!

Family stayed for three day weekend. Mom said condo felt like "home away from home" and she cooked lots. Dad said he liked the quiet and our place had extra features not usually found in rentals. Son said the sofa was comfortable for sleeping.
