Great house!

Our stay in Durham was very pleasant thanks to this bungalow. The remodel seems to have been recent and they did a very good job. The house was well outfitted even though we only used some dishes and the coffee maker it would have been easy to prepare a meal. Should we ever have the need we will rent again.

This was our second time staying in this lovely bungalow near Duke. We love this little house!It is located about a mile from Duke Gardens, Duke Central Campus, and Duke Hospital. It's even closer to downtown Durham.It is charmingly decorated in neutral tones. There are two spacious bedrooms with their own en suite bathrooms (and an additional guest bath). The beds are comfortable, and the hot water is plentiful.Be sure to bring your Prime Video and Netflix login information as you can access your accounts through the smart TV in the living room. The kitchen is large, open and brightly lighted. While it comes with items not found in many VRBOs - electric mixer, Ninja blender and processor, toaster, the kitchen is lacking in regular cooking pots and pans with only one saucepan and two frypans. If you plan to do a lot of cooking, you should be prepared to bring/purchase your own cookware.The hosts provide an incredible amount of timely information prior to check-in - like where the best dining & shopping locations are found - and prior to check-out.We definitely plan to stay here any time we return to Durham.
