We found everything to be exactly as described in the listing. There was plenty to do inside and outside of the home. We really enjoyed the pickleball court, basketball, tetherball and giant chess board! The grocery store was only 5 minutes away, as well as a local restaurant, Tavern 42, where we picked up some pizza to go. The house had plenty of space for our large family.

The house was as advertised! Plenty of room to spread out for 6 adults and 3 kids ranging in age from 5-14. Lots to do on the property, plenty of toys and games available inside and out. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. It was the perfect location for our Christmas visit with family and friends in the area. There was one hiccup with the heat but the host was very quick to respond and got the issue resolved quickly!

Minor issue - There are stairs to 3rd floor which are behind the door in a room on second floor. It took some time to figure out to get to bedrooms on 3rd floor. Owner should put a sign for guests . Other than that it was a nice property and we enjoyed playing pickleball.

Thank you for the 10/10 rating—we’re so glad you had a great stay and enjoyed the pickleball! We appreciate you pointing out the note about the third-floor stairs. We’ve added clearer directions so future guests can find them right away. Thanks again for staying with us—we’d love to have you back anytime!

We had the BEST time and will definitely be back. We played Pickleball, cornhole, sat by the firepit, played pingpong, gathered at the large kitchen for games and cards, ect!! The location was so convenient to everything and the host was amazing for communication! There were 14 of us on a girl's trip from Virginia Beach and this was just the perfect spot! Every single one of us would give it a 10 for everything!!

About the host

Host profile image
Follow us at ClaytonsPickleNC. I am a working mom of 3 living outside Raleigh. I wanted to build a vacation rental that was fun for adults AND kids. I designed it to be stylish, yet comfortable and functional. I thought about all of my own pet peeves with vacation rentals and tried to do better. Every TV is a smart TV, every bedroom has blackout window treatments and hooks to hang towels. The kitchen has everything you need. This house is clean and cozy.
