Extended stay

Although my trip was for trying times we enjoyed the property. The dogs loved the outdoors. The adults loved the tv in each room. Chris was very responsive to questions

Great Temporary Home

Cozy little house in a great location. The Smart Home stuff was cool, though the house would have been fine without it. My only complaint is the size of the fridge - if you're only staying there for a little while, or aren't someone who cooks at home a lot, I'm sure it's fine, but the smaller fridge was frustrating for us staying there over a month. Communication was great, and Chris was very accommodating.

Not what it appears to be

Check in was easy but the house is in the middle of the ghetto & we did not feel safe. The backyard was completely unusable and the patio furniture not cleaned at all. The reason pictures of the out offers are at night is because it does not look that nice during the day. The gas got shut off due to failure of payment the first day we were there and the owner still hasn’t responded.

Never stayed, turned around and walked out

Arrived late on a Sunday night? First impression the trash cans out side the house was overflowing, the neighborhood was not great. Giving it the benefit of the doubts me and my Daughter went inside, BIG stains on the carpet in living room, stains on pillows and comforters, not vaccines for a long time. Pots and pants not clean, food in the refrigerator. Looked like someone just left/lived there full time. We took a lot of pictures and left. I’m still waiting on VRBO for a refund. Went and rented a hotel for 4 nights instead, out over $800.00 and sent several messages to the host on where to send him the pictures I took with no response, can not attach on the VRBO site so I was asking for an email. DO NOT RENT , I have perfect feedback from many VRBO rentals as we travel a lot and have never seen anything even close to this bad or dirty ever.

Absolutely would not recommend!!

The shining star here is the backyard, even though it’s littered with garbage, like a broken TV and cardboard , so at first we overlooked the filthy livingroom carpet, broken/cracked front window, beds had only fitted sheets, no top sheets, there’s lots of the homeowners personal stuff sitting around too. But the topper was night 2 of our 2 night stay, at 2:30 AM we were awakened by a strange man entering the house and demanding to know who we were and what we were doing there!! He stood over my friend as she slept, she woke and screamed and ran to get me as I had arranged our stay. I came out to figure out what was happening and the guy was like, oh sorry, im a day early! The owner had given him the same door access code as he gave us!! Major Safety issue!! I recommend finding another place!! Any amenities he claims are not worth it! And throughout all of this the owner seems to care very little or to seethe seriousness of this safety issue!! “ i said i was sorry” was pretty much all we got and he puts the blame on the next guest, he takes NO responsibility for anything! Absolutely ridiculous. Its a Hotel for me next trip!!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Evans

Host profile image
I'm a small business owner based in New York and I make my Durham home available as a vacation rental year-round when I'm in the city working.

Why they chose this property

At 990 sq feet it's a modest home but jam packed with amenities to make the stay as seamless for guests as possible, and a beautiful fenced in backyard to enjoy a beautiful day in the hammock, playing with your pets or children.
