10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Host Erin was very quick to reply to all my questions. The best way to view her messages on my phone was to use desktop mode. The VRBO mobile interface is VERY difficult to deal with. Also, VRBO tech support is trying to address my complaint but hasn't gotten back to me. It's been 2 weeks and I'm checking in every week.The house is accurately depicted in the photos and is VERY comfortable for four people. The most comfortable dining area is a bar height countertop so we got quite good at hopping up on bar chairs. House entry is easy during daylight. At night, you'll need a flash light to see numbers on key pad.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
We had a very nice stay, but there were things that I believe should be approved upon. Pros: Beds were very comfortable. Styling of house was beautifully staged with wonderful Mid-century pieces and unique art work. Great location. The Brighthouse team was very helpful when we needed them or had questions.Cons: When we arrived, the front entrance was very dirty with leaves and spider webs everywhere. The back patio and table weren't even usable. It was covered in leaves and the table was all dirty. There were also dead limbs everywhere.The lighting was not great, it was very dark in all the bedrooms. In most of the rooms there was no overhead lighting, so you had to walk through the dark to turn a light on next to the bed (triping hazard). The place was not cleaned well. There were 2 large what looked like a Cockroach or Palmetto bugs on the floors, and the bathroom counters felt dirty. When we asked for an ironing board and iron, we were surprised for the size of the house that it only had a table top ironing board. They should have a full size ironing board in one of the tall cabinets. Lastly, I've been to a lot of VRBO types of homes and I was surprised that there wasn't a welcome kit that had a booklet with all the information about the house, wi-fi info and areas of interest around Chapel Hill. Also, almost all the homes I've been in provide you with a nice little welcome basket with coffee and treats. There was nothing like that. It's just a nice gesture.
