About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Chandler
I'm Rebecca and I live in the Raleigh area. This is our second property to host on VRBO, so while this is a new listing, we're not new to hosting. We hope our guests feel at home and enjoy their stay, whether they are in town to visit family, for a special event, working in the area, or just as a little escape.
We stay in the home ourselves, along with friends and family from time to time, so we get the same experience as our guests. I think this helps us make sure you are comfortable and have all the little things you need when you're away from home.

Why they chose this property
Clayton is a quiet community, just outside of Raleigh. The historic district surrounds the little downtown area, with numerous shops, restaurants, parks and entertainment. Many of the homes have been lovingly restored and the entire area is very walkable.
On the weekends, you can find a local farmer's market, community events, and live music in several venues within a short walk or drive.
There are greenways and bike trails nearby to explore and the Neuse River is about a mile away.

What makes this property unique
The home was built some time in the 1920's and owned by the same family since the 70's. We started our renovation in December of 2024 and completed it in June of 2025. It was a labor of love - and sometimes, a practice in patience. :-)
It's a small house - and never a very fancy one, but it' solid and we think it's adorable. We tried to keep much of the original character - like the old heart pine floors, but bring it up to date with modern conveniences like a fresh kitchen, full-size washer/dryer, Sleep Number beds, and keyless entry.
The neighborhood is fully residential, quiet and friendly. We two porches and a large back yard with a clear view of the sky on moonlit nights.
We're close enough to downtown Raleigh to make it an easy 15-20 minute drive, but far enough away to escape the bustle of the city.
