Great stay

We stayed at this awesome VRBO. We came for our daughter’s graduation from Duke and found it to be close to campus, near grocery stores, a really nice neighborhood for walking, and walkable access to great restaurants and shops. Lots of laughter and good memories were made here. Loved the bonus fire pit. Great stay!!!
