Duke visit

This was fine for our 3 night stay to drop granddaughter off for a conference at Duke. On our last night there was a storm that brought a lot of rain so we did have some water bugs show up which was a bit unsettling for three women who don’t like bugs but other than that it work good for what we needed.

Great Place!!

The house is wonderfully clean and welcoming! We were truly surprised with the amenities!! The house had all kinds of extras we did not expect. We felt safe in the home. The internet worked and the TV was logged into Disney which was cool!! The lighting was good, both interior and exterior. The directions for check in/out were clear. Communication with the host was very responsive! The water was hot and the towels were plentiful! The sheets were crisp and clean! I’d stay here again!
