Very impressed and satisfied. From the moment we booked, Pippa kept in contact, was extremely friendly and even flexible with an early request that we had.

Entire House - Elegant 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 130 reviews4 days ago

This place was an absolute gem! The house is tucked away in a great neighborhood—quiet, safe, and close to everything we needed. Inside, the open kitchen and living room setup was so cozy and welcoming—perfect for relaxing or cooking a meal together. You can tell a lot of thought went into making the space feel like home. One of our favorite parts was the front porch with rocking chairs—we spent every morning out there with coffee, just soaking in the peaceful vibe. The back deck was surrounded by tall trees, which made it feel like our own private retreat. Whether you're sipping wine under the stars or enjoying the morning sun, it's the perfect spot to unwind. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Coastal luxury in small town

5 out of 5 average rating, 48 reviews1 week ago

We came across Nerissa’s place while looking for accommodations for us and our two little ones for a wedding in the area. It was perfect! There was enough space for us to stretch out and relax after spending most of the day on the road. There were plenty of amenities and supplies, including sound machines in two of the rooms! We honestly overpacked. Also, Nerissa was super responsive and made sure we knew she was with us every step of the way. We’ve already talked about making another trip to Garner to really enjoy the space again and better explore the area!
