Durham Charm: 2BR Bungalow near Duke & Downtown

The house was easy to find and located in a great area. The house is very spacious & clean. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved this little house, it was very cozy, well equipped and clean. We would definitely recommend and would stay again.

This is such a great home! Before arriving, we received a list of local businesses to try such as restaurants, bars, shops, etc. which was so helpful. Upon arriving, we were instantly pleased with the home. It is decorated beautifully, is very clean, and it provided everything we needed in the kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms. The neighborhood feels safe and is extremely close to Duke University (which was the reason for our visit). The host was responsive and super friendly. Check in and check out was easy. We would DEFINITELY stay here again!

Very clean and quiet

I enjoyed our stay at the Duke West Bungalow. Wonderfully comfortable. The location is strategically located near Duke campus and downtown Durham. It made getting to athletic events ( or any other campus activities) a snap. If plans include dinner in Durham downtown and Bright leaf square you have quick access. We had everything needed for a great stay except for TV and InternetIt was a let down to find no internet and no TV available. Apparently AT&T failed to fix a problem which had been noted discovered. One needs to count on such services being available when we all inevitably do work remotely.

Lovely, clean, well-appointed bungalow in a great Durham location - convenient to Duke University and downtown. The owner gave us an extensive list of restaurant, shopping and entertainment recommendations. The house was immaculate and the beds were very comfortable! Highly recommend! Will stay there again! A Thank you!

Although the home is newly renovated, the owner’s responses, remedies, and overall safety standards were far below acceptable.Before arrival, the owner refused to store even a few bags, claiming they couldn’t ensure their safety—something any experienced host should easily accommodate. Upon arrival, the WiFi didn’t work, and the access point provided didn’t exist. Despite multiple messages, the owner only replied after repeated attempts, insisting there was an AT&T outage—something I confirmed was untrue. Nearly 24 hours later, we discovered the issue was simply incorrect WiFi credentials.The toilets were another major concern: every seat in the house was dangerously loose and remained unrepaired for over two days, only fixed the afternoon before checkout. For elderly guests, this could have been a serious hazard.Communication throughout was slow, unhelpful, and often dismissive. The promised “comprehensive local guide” never appeared, the home instructions were missing, and the kitchen was severely understocked. The broiler barely worked, the fireplace was deemed a hazard, and basic linens were insufficient for our stay.Do not expect much from this rental. The screened porch overlooks a dirt patch, the home is poorly maintained, and the owner’s responsiveness and attention to guest safety are grossly inadequate.

Super cute and clean bungalow convenient to everything Durham has to offer. This was my second time staying here which tells you how much I enjoy this place.

Very clean, comfortable house . We truly felt like we are home . Accurate listing and conveniently located to grocery stores and to the Duke hospital.Thank you for making our stay enjoyable.

Property is immaculately clean. Very close to everything.

Clean. Beautifully designed. Spacious. I loved this place and would have liked to have stay longer! The screened in porch was also fantastic on a cool fall evening. It was super close to downtown (and to my fav sushi place - M Sushi!) and the communication with Dylan was excellent. Highly recommend.

Perfect cottage

We have stayed at a number of properties the past two weeks and this one was by far the BEST and far exceeded all expectations! The home is very clean and cozy. Everything even down to the light switches were clearly marked so we had no questions at all as to how to find anything or operate anything within the home. The decor was beautiful and felt very cozy. The location was excellent. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Would love to stay here again and my two teenagers agree!

The bungalow was fabulous, comfortable, spacious, and completely charming. It met all our needs. It was close to the Duke campus where we were attending a conference. I would definitely book this property again.

Nicely remodeled, older home with two bedrooms and two and a half baths, and good flow. Small screened porch off back with table. Close into townAnd Duke University.

Very comfortable and plenty of space. Lovely and serene.

Very clean, spacious, and comfortable. House has recently been renovated and work appears to be ongoing in the backyard Host communicates much helpful and relevant information/tips throughout stay…a great alternative to a hotel

The location is very good if you’re heading to Duke for any reason. It’s also close to the downtown for restaurants. The house is very clean and the host is very responsive.

We absolutely loved our stay in this Durham Bungalow. It was perfect for our group! It was close to everything and nothing was more than a 10 minute drive. The house itself was so cute and we would definitely return the next time we are in Durham!

Our grandson was admitted to Duke and wanted us to join him for Admit Day. We were able to walk to Duke, so the location was great. The bungalow was lovingly restored. Restaurants within walking distance.

I absolutely loved this property. The host was amazing ! I stay 1 a month at Duke and this was my favorite

Wonderful, very clean and peaceful

Such a cute spot, and Dylan was very communicative. Would recommend! Walking distance to downtown if you want a leisurely stroll, otherwise 4 min drive

Upon arrival you are instantly greeted by beautiful hardwood floors. The immaculate layout of this little cottage & the bright open kitchen painted in beautiful neutral tones is so inviting. Each bedroom with its own bath is decorated to perfection. The screened in back porch is a wonderful place to relax.
