Adorable touches throughout that made the place unique and full of personality. The host was incredibly accommodating amd so helpful!! We would absolutely stay in one of her locations again!
We traveled with our elderly cat, Lola, and stayed here for 5 days while visiting family. The beds were comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet and easily accessible. We did laundry and cooked a few meals. Overall a great experience and we would stay here again.
We booked The Patio Pad when our previous booking canceled us due to double-booking. Honestly, that's the best thing that could've happened since we lucked up and found this listing. The house is everything described in the listing and MORE. It's very clean and well-maintained. It's very well-stocked and has everything you'll need to enjoy your stay. It's in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We had every bed filled but did not feel crowded at all. It was too hot to use the great Patio during the day, but we really enjoyed having our morning coffee there listening to the birds and watching the bunny zoomies in the yard while it was cooler. Checking in and out was super easy, and Debra was the perfect host. If we ever need to book a large family gathering in Raleigh again, we will definitely stay here.

That’s so sweet! Thank you :)
And I can’t live without heated toilet seats in my life 😆
Our Stay was perfect for the pup and us. The fenced in backyard was great for our dog and the covered patio for us.Will definitely book with Deb again.
Debra was a great host and communication was excellent before we booked and arrival! Place was perfect for myself and 3 friends with the 4 bedrooms! I was concerned about place being pet friendly because of my allergies but never had any problems during stay! We especially loved the back porch enjoying our coffee every morning!
Quaint, clean, character bungalow. Excellent location. Handled five adults especially with the inviting patio. The exterior washroom was a great bonus.
Well equiped and organized home with cozy back yard for our group of 3 adults and 1 mid sized dog. Communication with the owner was excellent, very informative and prompt replies. We also appreciated all the small touches they provided (welcome kit for dog, light switches labeled, etc)
Great property! Location was great! Close to everything we wanted to do. Heated toilet seats were a surprise. Would definitely stay there again when heading to Raleigh.
Great facility well-maintained. Debra was very responsive. Only problem is that front steps and small bathroom are a problem for someone with limited mobility but we managed that issue.

About the host
Hosted by Debra
We moved to Wake Forest in 2010, right as we were starting to build our family (I was pregnant with my first). As soon as I had my daughter, I decided to leave the workforce and focus on taking care of my family and house. Through the years I have filled my time with volunteering throughout the community. I am very active in the school's PTA, organize all of the social activities in my neighborhood (and we do lots!), and taught Sunday School when the kids were younger. In the past few years, I have really developed a love for real estate investing. In my spare time, I love reading/listening/learning all things real estate and financial literacy (my nerdy side can't help it!). I take pride in my houses and in treating my tenants well.
Why they chose this property
I love real estate and I love hosting, so putting the two together seemed natural. In the past, I have only been involved in long term rentals and just ventured upon the short term rental world recently. I love the need it fills when you have outgrown the small space of a hotel room with no kitchen. I love the personal connections you make and the personal touches you can add when hosting short stays.
What makes this property unique
Heated toilet seats are literally one of my favorite things in life! Each bathroom is equipped with one. If you have never tried one...your tush will thank you :)
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
