This house was completely as advertised. Super clean and the beds were amazing! The water pressure is great in the shower and super hot! We loved the gameroom in the garage which is well outfitted. This house is 5 minutes from gas stations, grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants. The house is only 12 minutes from Duke hospital and the neighborhood is super quiet. I would definitely rent this house again.

Great stay in Durham

The house is well maintain and well supplied. It was just my wife and I, but it's very spacious and would be very comfortable for a larger group or family. Very near the American Tobacco Trail for hiking or biking as well as other nearby trails. Also very easy access to downtown Durham. We would definitely stay here again when in Durham.

Great house for socializing and spending time together

We had a group of 4 guys stay for a golf trip, and this place was great. We had plenty of space, many games were played. Would work for more people, as you had the games in the garage and some outdoor space to use - might just be a little short on beds.Check in was easy, no dramas. Location is fine - it's great if you want to go to both Durham and Raleigh, as it's a similar distance to both, but not a ton super close by (definitely not walkable).

House is lovely, very clean and good location. Worked great for our long weekend in Raleigh/Durham area. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at this property again. Only drawback is traffic noise from busy street, house is on the corner, might matter if you wanted to spend time outside in back yard.

We recently stayed here for a week while out to visit my brother and his family. The house was great. Everything was new, fresh and clean. The game room was a really fun bonus that my kids enjoyed. The host was very responsive and got back to me quickly if I had a question. I would definitely stay here again!

The house was super cute - the only reason I have it a lower score on cleanliness was due to many dishes we pulled out were dirty with food crumbs or debris on them! Other than that it was great!

Short trip

Property was a great alternative to a hotel room for a short stay. The home was clean, convenient to stores and restaurants. We were able to have our family and dogs stay with us. The only issue I would say was the traffic and noise of the road next to the house. It was pretty busy the entire time we were there. If that isn’t an issue for you then this home is a great option.

Great Stay in Durham

We were in Durham for Duke's graduation weekend and highly recommend this rental. The property is incredibly clean--I've stayed in more than 35 rentals and this is one of the cleanest homes I've ever been in. The house is cheery and well decorated and has lots of thoughtful touches such as nightlights, plenty of toilet paper, and liquid hand soaps in every bathroom. As a previous reviewer has mentioned, there is a little bit of street noise that can be heard in one of the bedrooms, but it didn't affect our sleep at all and is irrelevant compared to how comfortable and spacious the home is. Finally, the owners are super responsive and easy to communicate with. I wish we had found this rental four years ago! If we're ever back in Durham we will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Frank and Anjanette

Host profile image
Hello, we are very excited to share our Sampaguita Home with you on AIrbnb! The Sampaguita is the national flower of the Philippines (also known as the Arabian Jasmine) and holds special meaning to property owner Anjanette who was born and raised in the Philippines. As a child she has fond memories of the fragrant scent of the flower which grew at her grandmother’s home. Anjanette studied nursing in the Philippines and moved to Michigan in 1996 after marrying her husband Frank. Frank grew up in Michigan and graduated with a B.B.A. in Business Computer Systems. We moved to North Carolina in 2004 to enjoy the warmer weather and bluer skies. Anjanette received her Realtor's license in 2016 and we have been passionate about the real estate business ever since! Our motto is "work hard but don't forget to stop and take a breather and get some much needed rest and relaxation". If you book with us we will go "out of the way" to make your Airbnb experience as pleasant as can be!
