Durham stay

The property was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had nice dishes and pots and the host left us coffee, popcorn and a bottle of wine which was a nice touch. I would definitely stay there again.

Amazing Place for a Durham Getaway!

We were in Durham to see a Duke basketball game, and this property was perfect! It was exactly as described - beautiful, clean, and with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable visit. The decor was tasteful, giving the place a warm and inviting vibe, and the beds were super comfortable, making it easy to get a good night's sleep. The location was perfect! We were close to Duke University, with tons of fantastic restaurants, coffee, and shops nearby, yet the property itself was in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, so we felt like we had our own little retreat. Our host was fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. She provided local recommendations, checked in to see if we needed anything, and was always quick to respond to any questions. Overall, this VRBO was the perfect place to take in Duke University, unwind, and explore the Durham area. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend it!

This house was perfect for 3 couples, as each bedroom had a king- size bed. It's very close to Duke and 9th Street. I recommend Monuts for breakfast and lunch!

Best girl weekend oasis

Met my bff for a weekend and the house was just a perfect mix of cozy chic. I always have a bag packed with paper towels, dish soap, hand soap you name it and I did not have to use one thing. Truly the house was such a nice quiet spot for a girl weekend. Showers are to die for, beds so so dreamy. Can’t wait to go back!

Perfect Gals Getaway

The property is beautiful and made our girls trip exactly what we wanted it to be. Wonderful kitchen, dining, and living area to share meals and coffee etc together. We took walks in the neighborhood everyday and night to admire the old homes and great landscaping, and walking distance to coffee, breakfast and even a grocery store. Short ride to anything you'd want to do in durham. Beds were super comfortable. 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic!

We had an outstanding stay at "Historically Hip on Hale." The house is as pictured, with three good-sized bedrooms and contemporary amenities. We did not do much cooking, but the kitchen seemed fabulous. The house is on a quiet street and also is within walking distance to some great places, including a fantastic coffee shop and a superb breakfast spot. Other shopping, including grocery markets, is within walking distance or a very short drive. The house is in very close proximity to Duke's East Campus and many fantastic destinations are within a 15 minute drive. We will absolutely aim to stay on Hale again should we return to Durham.

Charmer

Bright, welcoming with thoughtful touches: a welcome gift, basic kitchen supplies, etc. Has comforts of home. Convenient to shopping on Ninth Street. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. Perfect for my group: one in 70s, three in 30s, one 2 1/2 year old (safe to play in fenced back yard). Could easily have accommodated two other spouses. Management responsive when contacted. Would definitely rent this house again!
