Andrea was an incredible communicator. Responses were always within minutes. She was accommodating of special requests. The property is exactly as listed. An older house but has been updated nicely. Very clean. Can’t beat the proximity to Duke if that’s on your agenda. Super nice touch that it was decorated for Christmas. Would for sure stay again.

Perfect house for Thanksgiving visit to Durham

The house was comfortable, very clean, with everything in working order. I appreciated the special touches for our dogs - a bed, blanket, and water and food dishes. We were only one block from our family who lives in Durham, and it was a great location for dog walking.

Sweet little house in a great location

We loved staying here over Easter Weekend. The house is perfect for a small group, including two not-so-small dogs. The neighborhood is friendly with a park just down the street. Easy access to just about anywhere you need to be in Durham and beyond.

Traveling to Duke Hospital

We traveled to the area as our daughter was having surgery at Duke Hospital. Andrea, our host was extremely accommodating to our needs. Our trip was longer than anticipated and Andrea was there to help us out each time. We could not be happier with this location and the great hospitality Andrea provided. This place will be our #1 with our next visit!

Charming neighborhood and location

We were in town for a wedding at the Duke Chapel and the location of this home couldn't have been better. So convenient to many restaurants and shops. We had 4 adults and 2 infants and had plenty of space. Comfortable beds and linens, and very clean. Basic cable channels and an improved coffee machine would have been appreciated. Would rent again!

Glad you guys enjoyed your stay! Thanks for the feedback! I am looking into an antenna to get local channels. The roku is nice with Netflix and Hulu but your right that local channels would be nice too! I actually have a larger keurig at the house and I was planning to switch out the coffee makers so it will be better for your next trip! Enjoyed hosting you!

Lovely home for our weekend

Perfect home for the weekend. You must take a walk through Forrest Hills, it’s beautiful with so many birds, squirrels, and bunnies! Everything in the home was clean, shower water pressure was amazing!! I would definitely stay here again. My only suggestion is softer light bulbs to allow for more comfortable lighting at night. Neighborhood is quiet, close to everything.

Well run rental, with some issues

The house presents well with upgrades such as the gravel rear parking area, exterior paint, LVF flooring, and hand picked decor. The bedrooms are big, with comfortable beds. However, walking in the door you are hit with an unpleasant odor of mold/mildew covered with a heavy floral air freshener scent. The air freshener is so strong that it gives you a headache and permeates all your belongings. It has been two weeks since our stay and I still have clothing that I cannot get the smell out of. It’s in the air and seems to be sprayed on the bed linens as well. Overall, it’s a nice place in what I would call a transitional neighborhood that seems a little dicey in parts. The living room was uncomfortable, with a couch past it’s useful life and a that TV needs to be about 20 inches larger, but it was decent enough for a short stay. The bedrooms are the best place in the house and very comfortable if it weren’t for the air freshener.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Douglass

Host profile image
I am a pharmacist at Duke Hospital who stumbled into the world of property management and real estate. It all began when I started renting out my personal properties as short-term rentals. I quickly fell in love with managing properties and interacting with guests, which led me to obtain my real estate license. As my passion for this field grew, I expanded my services to manage other people's properties as well. The business became so busy that I had to reduce my hours at Duke Hospital to dedicate more time to it. I am deeply passionate about traveling and exploring different properties and areas, which fuels my love for this profession even more. I am dedicated to providing exceptional service to both property owners and guests, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for all involved.
