This location was perfect for our large family. Wonderfully located a short walk from historic downtown we had such an amazing trip with little worry of where we would be resting our heads. Easy and promp communication with host. Clean welcoming environment with all the necessities needed. Best part was we where able to bring our fur baby and he had a blast being able to run around in the back yard while we enjoyed the patio and grill. Definitely recommend this location.

A wonderful bungalow with unique character, just minutes from downtown. We had a great long weekend here. Lovely amenities and a nice backyard help just feel right at home. The host could not have been more accommodating or responsive and just happens to be a fabulous Baker! I will definitely stay here again, as my sister lives close by. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home with lots of space! We absolutely loved the layout of this house. The big back yard was a hit for us and the dogs and the neighborhood is really quiet at all hours. The owners/managers are super responsive and have updated this home perfectly. Being that this house is so close to family, we look forward to many more stays here!

This home was very clean and organized. Had everything that we could possibly need and everything was labeled. We travel with dogs so having the wide-open backyard was awesome. The check-in process was easy and host was very good at both initiating and answering any messages. It’s obvious they take pride in the home and the comfort they provide. Would definitely recommend and book again.

Fuquay-Varina NC visit

The property and area are quite nice. It is close to restaurants, parks, a Saturday growers market that has crafts, baked items, in season fruits and veggies. The owners are lovely and their hospitality was wonderful. My husband and son loved the baked goods that they left for us!! I didn't even get any because they kept enjoying it until everything was gone! We really enjoyed staying at this property, and hope to visit there again! We highly recommend this for any time you would stay in the area.

Great Location

This property was in a great location. Close to downtown Fuquay on quiet street. It was great to bring my dogs and the backyard is set-up nicely for pets. Overall this property was great! Only recommendations I have are a more comfortable couch for the living room and mount/make the tv higher off the ground. The kids and the dogs are able to knock it over at current height. Overall though great property and accommodations.

Very pleasant experience

Cozy is a great word to describe this house. Our family of four and dogs were very comfortable here. Everything from the decor, board games, fire pit, and delicious welcome goodies, gave off welcoming, hospitable vibes. We felt right at home. There were only a few minor issues, which were addressed timely. We could not find the grill that was listed and only one baking dish, neither of which stopped our fun. Other than that we had a great stay here! Will definitely rent from them again.

Our stay was unfortunately cut short after finding a live roach in the kitchen following our first night. As someone with 17 years of public health & food safety experience, I’m sharing this to inform others of potential health risks. Even one visible roach typically indicates an infestation, especially when it appears in the open. Roaches are known carriers of pathogens like Salmonella, which can pose serious risks for people with health vulnerabilities.I contacted the host immediately. I didn’t request a full refund - only a partial one for the unused nights & part of the cleaning fee. The owner refunded a portion of that amount, which I appreciated, but I was later told by VRBO that the information the owner’s husband gave me about receiving the rest of the refund thru VRBO was inaccurate. The host was responsible for the remaining balance, which was never issued.There was general uncleanliness (mold, stained bathroom walls, dirty fridge, starch caked on a pot) that can attract pests. I’m posting this not out of frustration, but to inform others of the potential health risks & to encourage higher cleanliness standards in short-term rentals.For anyone booking vacation homes, I’d recommend reading up on how to inspect for roaches - for example, see article on roaches from the National Center for Healthy Housing: nchh.org.Despite cutting our trip short, I made sure to leave the property cleaner than when we arrived. I hope this review helps future guests

This cute home was very conveniet to DT Fuquay and good amount of space for 2 teens and a small dog/cat. Owners left a lot of essentials to help: dishwasher soap, bath soap, TP, laundry detergent, Brita container, cleaning supplies. PROS: -Friendly owner-prompt responses.-Perfect size for myself, 2 teens, and 2 small animals. -convenient location, -Convenient starter essentials, -Linens provided and extra blankets, -Nice outdoor space and fenced in, -keyless entry, -Large smart TV in living room, -Overall cleanliness (besides the ceiling cobwebs). -Nice computer monitor and computer desk set up-Nice refridgerator (internet screen on it)-Cute/nice laundry room area-Nice large driveway for 3 carsCONS: Biggest issue -- Wireless is very weak, I couldn't do work in the master bdrm the wifi was bad, Now I know why there wasn't a TV in the bedroom. -We cooked steak-but no knives to use but prep-knives, -No baking dishing (bought own muffin tin), only 1 XXL cooking sheet to cook on). -No TV in buckbed room and no dresser (need one)-Need hooks in larger bathroom for multiple towels and bathrobe-Living room- the couch was the only comfortable sitting area, but myself and 2 large teens couldn't all fit on it and the 2 chairs were very uncomfortable for anyone to watch a 2 hr movie on. -Dishwasher had some issues that needed fixing, a bit cumbersome to deal with for 9 days but still worked, Shower curtain had mold growing on it in master shower.

We had a wonderful stay. We really enjoyed the house. It was as advertised, very cozy. I love that the host has maintained its historic character while also equipping it with modern amenities. The location is great. It is off the main road, so it is quiet; yet it is close enough to Downtown that you can walk to shops and restaurants.
