Apartment in Raleigh
4.78 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsLovely two bedroom apartment, close to downtown.
WenboRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I give it 5 star, it not mean it’s good. there’s no hot water for the shower. I tried many times, but it just wouldn’t get hot. The other faucets have hot water, but not the shower, which is really strange. So, I haven’t showered for five days—it’s miserable. There are two rooms. The one near the door is nice and quiet. The inner room, however, is very noisy—every time the air conditioning turns on, it makes a loud noise. Plus, there’s no blanket in this room. I eventually found one in the cabinet, but it’s thin—not really a proper comforter. Pretty rough experience.

Cheryl and Shelby were exceptional hosts! They were incredibly courteous and also quick to address any questions or concerns we had. The place was tidy, charming, and beautifully decorated, creating a wonderfully cozy atmosphere. We absolutely loved the views and the tranquility of the area, including our pup. The location is ideal – museums and walking trails are just a 15-20 minutes drive away. We also enjoyed delicious coffee from a nearby cafe called Sola Coffee Cafe and some amazing tacos from Street Tacos Cantina. Highly recommend these spots!

Came to town for a show at Coastal, which was about a mile walk, but cut down on parking cost and hassle! The property was clean and very fun. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were stocked with toiletries. We appreciated Jon’s prompt response when we ran into issues with the AC!

Very kind and quick to respond to any questions. We ended up having to stay longer than anticipated due to our house construction not being completed. Our girls loved the pond out back and now are obsessed with fishing.

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsLuxury home on Lake Wheeler
KatieRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Our stay at this lake house was absolutely wonderful! The layout of the house is fantastic, providing plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind. It's impeccably clean and well stocked with everything we needed, especially the beautiful kitchen which was a joy to cook in. The master bedroom and in-law suite were both luxurious and comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of fun in the sun. The outdoor space is where this place truly shines. The pool was amazing, perfect for cooling off on hot days, and the expansive outdoor area provided plenty of room for our family to play games and enjoy the sunshine. While you can’t swim in the lake, fishing and boating are great alternatives. Clare was a fantastic host—so responsive and accommodating. Overall, our family had an incredible time here and didn't want to leave! It's the perfect spot for families looking to relax and have fun together.

PamRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We booked for a last minute change in daughter’s wedding plans (due to hurricane). We needed a place large enough to accommodate several family members. The house exceeded our expectations. Very spacious, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Beds were very comfortable. There were areas for those that wanted to congregate as well as private areas. The outdoor patio was quite spacious and peaceful. Joshua was very responsive to a request during our stay. Will definitely book again if and when we have the opportunity to visit Wendell.

A Perfect Christmas! Wife, Daughter, 2 sons (our two dogs) & Mother in law. This place met every expectation we could possibly have for a Christmas vacation! The entire house was exceptionally clean! Hosts are proactive, professional and quickly responsive. We had all the utensils and items needed in the kitchen to prepare a perfect Christmas dinner. An exquisite view in the back as we spent time together. There is a great fireplace for our Family nights together in the living room. This house is in an excellent location close to everything and in a peaceful neighborhood. We picked this place in particular because we felt a huge welcome for our dogs. This house welcomes dogs with open arms and we felt so comfortable with them in and out of the house. My Daughter wanted to make sure to point out the crushed ice from the refrigerator was a huge plus.... and the dogs loved the back yard!

TheresaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
My stay here was great. Vivian was very responsive with everything I asked and needed. The view was amazing and the kids had things to play on outside. They had to be very careful inside playing bc there are a lot of breakables and plants inside but the floor plan is very spacious. I will say we did feel as tho someone lived in the space between rentals which is fine but a lot of their personal stuff was left out. Overall I would definitely rent again and stay because we absolutely loved it. She did warn us about certain things like the hot water and fish tank which I respected bc she gave us the heads up.
