MelodyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This apartment is exactly as described in the listing. It's very well kept, very warm and welcoming. They have anything you could possibly need, for a comfortable stay and/or that you may have forgotten, and they have great eco friendly products. I love the labels on the light switches and kitchen cabinets, it makes navigating an unfamiliar place so much easier. The bathroom is beautiful and large with an amazing walk-in shower. The outdoor area is also very nice, they have a manicured backyard if you want to sit outside and enjoy the weather. I would absolutely stay again and highly recommend.

Perfect Summer Cabin * Storybook Cute * Full Acre!

BonnieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This house is located in a beautiful peaceful neighborhood (Stonehenge) and it’s surrounded by tall trees and flowering shrubbery. The home was very clean and comfortable and the furnishings provided a modern mid century vibe. The screened in porch and deck were great areas to relax and a couple of nights we used the fire pit out on the lawn. We were happy for visits by five or six deer during our stay and our two dogs loved the big yard, too. We appreciated the owner’s communications and she checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. We really enjoyed our time at this property and wished we could’ve stayed longer!

Stylish & Comfy ~ 5* Location ~ Backyard ~ Updated

LauraRating, 5 starstoday
Our stay at Jason and Samantha's was perfect!! I am a stickler for a clean space, and it was clean. We did not cook, but the kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to reheat our meals, prep out lunches and to eat our meals. The house was quiet, the beds were cozy and we were comfortable taking walks around the neighborhood. Check in was a breeze and the key pad was great so we never had to worry about remembering a key. Loved the carport for shade as well as for when it rained. It is definitely one of our favorite stays. I would not hesitate to recommend and I would definitely stay again if the need arose.

New! Bright 3BR Cottage | Coffee Bar | Near PNC

AmandaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My 16 year old Bichon poodle was hospitalized at NC state for 4 long weeks after we were attacked by 2 pitbulls in Wilmington. Kent’s house was 6 minutes from the hospital and gave us a place for me to stay closeby and also while she was released so she could recover before it was safe for us to go back to Wilmington. We were there under the worst circumstances but Kent’s house provided a haven for us and allowed her to recover comfortably. The house was wonderful and Kent was very responsive and caring through our unique situation.

Exactly what our family needed to meet up before vacationing together. Easy access from the highway, close to shopping and restaurants, and a very simple check in and check out. Brad was proactive and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. The home itself is a fun split level with a phenomenal master suite below and spacious, comfortable bedrooms on the upper. Having stayed only for one night we didn't get to explore too much but we'd definitely be open to stay here again.

Updated Home near Downtown Cary & The Fenton

JamesRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This home was as advertised. and more. Also everything was labeled in a way that you didn't have to think about anything. It also felt much larger than its actual size. Backyard was private and fenced. Our labradoodle felt right at home as well. We were in town for our daughter's graduation from NC State and it was situated perfectly between campus, her apartment and restaurants. Cary has grown into a vibrant and walkable downtown over the last 4 years. We would absolutely stay here again.

Your guide to Raleigh

Welcome to Raleigh

A growing center of innovation, Raleigh combines the entrepreneurial mindset of a burgeoning tech city with one of the most vibrant food scenes in the South. As the largest city in the Triangle — a region that includes Durham and Chapel Hill — Raleigh is anchored by a trio of top research universities: Duke, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State University. It’s known as the City of Oaks thanks to the number of oak trees that line the streets and the thick swaths of forested land that populate the greater metro area. North Carolina’s state capital is also home to top-notch museums like the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and the interactive Marbles Kids Museum. With mild weather year-round, it’s rich in outdoor attractions like the 10-acre JC Raulston Arboretum and botanical garden and the verdant Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve, as well as entertainment venues such as the Red Hat Amphitheater downtown.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Raleigh

With relatively mild temperatures year-round, there’s really no bad time to visit. If you want to see the botanical gardens in full color, spring is when the azaleas, dogwoods, and other fauna bloom. Autumn is awash in gold, orange, and red foliage, with peak leaf-changing season typically falling around mid-October. Winter can be gray, but with temperatures rarely dropping to freezing, visiting between December and February is an option for avoiding crowds and peak-season pricing. Thanks to all the public spaces like Moore Square scattered around Raleigh, summer months are popular for art walks, festivals, and outdoor community events.


Top things to do in Raleigh

William B. Umstead State Park

Spanning 5,599 acres between Raleigh, Cary, and Durham, the multi-use William B. Umstead State Park is beloved by locals thanks to its bevy of trails that are ideal for hiking, biking, running, and horseback riding. The park’s three manmade lakes are primed for bass fishing.

Raleigh Beer Trail

Raleigh is one of the South’s top destinations for craft beer enthusiasts, and there’s no better way to experience the bounty than on this easy-to-follow trail that links more than 25 breweries across the city, from a Texas-themed ale house to a brewpub housed in an airplane hangar. Pick up a Raleigh Beer Trail passport, get it stamped at participating breweries, and redeem for swag.
