The house was horrible. The bones were great, but it was very dirty and rundown in many areas. Mini blinds were broken and did not reach the bottom of the window. Heat vents were rusted. Shower curtain had pink slime on it. Hair and dirt in the corners in the bathroom. Pots and pans in the kitchen had crust in the bottom and were unusable. No trash cans in bathrooms and no toilet paper upon arrival. All linens were very worn, towels, sheets and comforters. Very unkept. A little money could have fixed all of this and yet it wasn't done.

House was just as posted in pics! Kids loved it, we couldnt take them away from the playing areas. Lexi, our host, was really supportive as well, we arrived a couple of hours earlier than our check-in time and helped us out, even waiving the fee. If you want a place to connect with nature, this is the place!

The stay started off with a delay (2hr) to check-in due to issue with previous renter.The house in general was acceptable but the contents need to be changed out. Such as couches were not comfortable to sit in; one had a cigarette burn, there were crumbles & general dirt under the couches and cushions as well as inside the footstools. The additional chairs had the webbing broken, the window shades had broken slats which caused there to be open area so there was no privacy from the outside, the one bed had a thick landscaping stone under one leg to level the bed frame, the towels would be good for scrap, definitely if stating towels provided would suggest to have towels large enough for adults and absorbent enough dry adults and children, pillows need to be thrown out (suggestion to tell people either to bring their own), while there is cookware I would suggest to update as several pans have scratches which has removed the coating which isn't good for cooking. Toys - if you are going to have toys for children then those should be clean. There was a doll that was a filthy mess from hair to body (which was cloth). It is nice to have the toys but make sure they are appropriate to play with. The king size bed mattress was not comfortable at all. The one closet had lots of misc items (remaining flooring planks, old tv, bed comforter, etc) wouldn't have been room to put a suitcase away. The property was ok just needs some tlc if going to want future renters. We felt safe.

Postives...The house was perfect for our double family to stay for a funeral from florida. Kids really enjoyed the kids space. Negatives....not the cleanest. Found several extremely dirty dishes. Kids play area was a disaster. Not enough coffee cups. We had 5 adults and only 3 cups. The towels were really lacking too. The one bedroom light needed to be replaced. Kept flickering. The one rooms needs blinds and curtain for privacy. Could not get any of the tvs to play besides the projector.

Cute, Quit Neighborhood

We stayed here with some of our dance friends for a competition at Fuquay High School. The neighborhood is charming and kid friendly. It’s a great location to town but yet feels so secluded. The host communication was great and she was able to suggest a fun afternoon activity after a morning of dancing. We appreciate you sharing your home with us!

We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of space for everyone to sleep. The outside looks like it is small, but dont let that deceive you. Nice backyard for the kids to play as well. We were only there for a couple of days, but worth it.

About the host

Hosted by Alexa Whittington

Host profile image
Hello and welcome! I'm Lexi, your host and a proud North Carolina native. I've spent my entire life in this beautiful state, starting out in Smithfield, NC. The house you're staying in is special to me—it's the first property I purchased and a home where we've shared countless family memories.

When I'm not hosting, I enjoy traveling, spending quality time with family and friends, shopping, indulging in delicious food, and tackling escape rooms. I'm also a thrill-seeker who loves visiting amusement parks for the rush of roller coasters!

Being a VRBO host is a passion of mine because it gives me the chance to share my world with travelers like you. I love offering you a glimpse into the home where my kids and I have grown, and the opportunity to experience the charming state of North Carolina from my perspective. Enjoy your stay and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Why they chose this property

Choosing this neighborhood was an easy decision for us. The moment we saw our home—resembling a quaint cottage nestled among mature trees and perched on a large wooded lot—it felt like the perfect setting for our family. With nearly an acre of land, it offered ample space to plant fruit trees and cultivate a thriving garden, fulfilling our dream of a homestead lifestyle.

The location offers an ideal blend of convenience and tranquility. Being just outside the city limits of Fuquay Varina and Wake County, we enjoy close proximity to all the amenities one could need, yet we're free from the constraints of an HOA. This balance means we can enjoy the best of both worlds—urban convenience without the bustle.

What truly endears us to this community is its peacefulness and the genuine warmth of its residents. It's common to see neighbors strolling with their families or dogs, exchanging friendly waves as they pass by. The houses are thoughtfully spaced apart, providing a sense of privacy and space that invites relaxation and personal enjoyment.

In this neighborhood, we've found not just a house, but a home—a place where our family can grow, explore, and create cherished memories within a welcoming and serene environment.
