In West End, history coalesces with the tastes of the moment. Just a few blocks from Duke University’s East Campus sits West End, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Durham. Immerse yourself in Durham’s history at the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice. Bike lanes, rainbow flags, and bungalow-lined streets make this a diverse hub where diverse communities meet to dine, stroll, and enjoy an eclectic smattering of businesses just steps away from one another. GRUB Durham, an old gas station turned hip Southern eatery, offers plenty of outdoor seating and a menu full of delicious options like smooth grits, chicken biscuit sandwiches, and refreshing cocktails. It opens it`s doors to everyone, including four-legged friends along for an adventure. Close by is the Durham Co-op Market, perfect for stocking up on picnic fare to enjoy in the lush green space of Duke’s East Campus a short walk away. Unwind with tea, plan for falafel at lunch, and enjoy a dinner full of Middle Eastern flavor just across the street at Da Kine’s Kava, Quick Meal Mediterranean, and Al-Taib Halal Market, all of which are a testament to the diverse and intercultural offerings available to enjoy. The Cookery is an event space and wedding venue that is perfect for hosting reunions and gatherings of all kinds. Two doors down is an eclectic Durham retail experience that is yours to discover at Gibson Girl Vintage, where clothes of all types, unique homewares, and the occasional pair of vintage skates can be found.

Family trip

We had a great time bringing our kids back to our old stomping grounds. House was wonderful and owner has done a great job anticipating needs. Also went out of their way to help accommodate a few requests (air mattress for our youngest & games to help keep kids entertained after our youngest was asleep).

Beautiful home in Durham

We had a great stay at Liz’s house. It exceeded our expectations. It’s very clean, updated and well appointed. We are a family of 7 with 2 dogs who were in town for a Duke basketball camp. The house has everything you can ask for, and our favorite part was the large screened in porch that we enjoyed both morning and night. The fenced in yard is also a bonus with an amazing fire pit area with fairy lights that was a pleasure to sit around. The location is amazing - 5 minutes to Duke, 7-8 to downtown with great restaurants, 5 minutes to Whole Foods and a great bagel/ coffee place within walking distance. Liz was also very responsive with any questions we had . We look forward to booking her property again.

Charming, comfortable, convenient to Duke

This is a charming property. It seems brand new and very well thought out. There is plenty of parking; the bedrooms are generous in size; the kitchen is equipped for coffee and plenty of ice; and there is a huge, lovely, screened back porch. There is plenty of room for families to gather. The owner was easy to reach, immediately responsive and had included extra items to welcome us. We walked back and forth to restaurants, the Duke shuttle bus (Swift Ave.) and stores (Durham Co-op). We hope to return to this property again and again!

Perfect location and newly renovated, immaculate house

My husband, myself and our 3 adult daughters gathered in Durham for 4 days for a big birthday with 4 of us being Duke alums. The house provided the perfect location - 5 minutes from Duke campus, 5 minutes from downtown tobacco district's restaurants and 20 minutes from airport. The house appeared to be completely renovated inside with everything looking brand new. Immaculately clean with every amenity. Liz was extremely responsive throughout the booking process and our stay, responding to emails usually within 5 minutes, sometimes even quicker. It was a really lovely place to be able to relax in with our kids. I would absolutely rent it again when we are back in town.

Don’t pass on this house!

We took a chance on this house for my son’s graduation weekend at Duke University. It was a new listing and didn’t have any reviews. We arrived and were blown away with the condition of this property. It has been renovated and appeared in like new condition. The house was spotless. The bedrooms were good size with very comfortable beds. The a/c unit worked nicely. The kitchen was well equipped and had the cutest coffee bar. The screened in deck was large with very comfortable furniture. My favorite spot for morning coffee listening the birds and cocktails in the evening. The owner thought of every detail down to a handwritten welcome note and a basket of snacks. Check in/out info clearly written and easy to follow. WiFi connection strong. The house is roomy and is beautifully decorated. Great spot to relax after a busy day. Walking distance to Grub, a great spot for breakfast. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Book it now, you won’t be disappointed!!

Very Comfortable Stay

This was a very comfortable place for my family of four. Very thoughtfully furnished in a way that seemed simple but had everything we really wanted and more, and they've clearly put in a lot of thought to the indoor aesthetics. Liz was super communicative and helpful. As someone who likes to take morning walks, I loved that you could walk into downtown and Duke from this location. We would definitely stay here again and feel lucky we found such a nice place!
