    The house was perfect for our family; to include my parents, husband, and 2 teenagers. Very clean and all the amenities we needed. The neighborhood was so nice, with weekend activities not too far from the house (food trucks on Friday night and Farmer’s market on Saturday). Simone, thank you for your warm hospitality leading up to and during our stay! Your help and responsiveness to my questions made the stay even better.As we have family in the area we are likely to return and will recommend the house to family and friends that visit Cary.

    My family and I had a great time at this property. The home was well furnished, clean, and cozy. Our dog loved the fenced-in yard. The location of the house is perfect, its within 15 minutes drive to most major landmarks. It's also only a 10 minute walk to downtown Cary. Lastly, the host was amazing. Great communication and so accommodating. We would absolutely stay at this property again.

Our dogs really enjoyed chasing squirrels and tennis balls in your back yard! Simone was wonderful and even added a beautiful personal welcome!

    We were thoroughly pleased with our stay at this cozy and clean home near downtown Cary. We were there while our own home in the next town over was being repainted. We chose it because it was pet friendly and in an unbeatable location.Check in and check out were as easy as it gets for VRBO rentals.We walked to the park during the day and to a restaurant in the evening. The large fenced-in back yard was great for our dog, the neighborhood is quiet, and the house is very well stocked and comfortable. All in all a very peaceful place for us to call home for a few days. Everyone in the family was happy with our stay and settled in very well - three bedrooms were ideal for a family of 4 including two teens.There was off street parking for both our cars and plenty of on-street parking is available as well.We also found the host to be very responsive and genuinely cared that we had a great experience - and we did. Thank you Simone!

    Property was excellent for our long weekend in NC. The house was within walking distance to stores and restaurants. The fully fenced in yard was great for our golden retriever. We also were thankful for the fully stocked kitchen.
