Duke Medical & Univ | Sleeps 8 | Gourmet Kitchen

Experience the perfect blend of downtown convenience and upscale comfort. Whether you are a traveling executive, a medical professional, or a family visiting Duke, our home is designed for your productivity and relaxation.

WHY GUESTS LOVE STAYING HERE
📍 Unbeatable Commute: Save time with a location that is 3.7 miles to Duke Hospital, 1.5 miles to Duke University, and a short walk to Foster St Market (1.2 mi), and downtown dining.

🛏️ Flexible Sleeping for 8: Everyone gets a good night's rest with a King Primary Suite, King & Queen guest rooms, and a bonus daybed.

💼 Remote-Work Ready: Stay productive with high-speed WiFi and a dedicated, private workspace separate from the main living areas.

📽️ All-Season Cinema: Make memories in our unique all-season sunroom, featuring comfortable seating and a movie projector for private movie nights.

🔥 Private Outdoor Oasis: Unwind after a long day in the fully fenced backyard, complete with a firepit and patio dining area.

A TOUR OF YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME Step inside and feel the stress of travel melt away. The open-concept living area greets you with a 65" Smart TV and a plush sectional, perfect for gathering your group. Adjacent is the gourmet kitchen, fully stocked with chef's essentials so you can whip up a quick breakfast before hitting the hospital or a full family dinner.

Down the hall, the Primary Suite serves as your private sanctuary, featuring a King bed and spa-inspired ensuite. Two additional bedrooms (King and Queen) share a convenient "Jack and Jill" bath, offering privacy and comfort for colleagues or kids.

The real magic happens in the back of the home. Open the doors to the all-season room to enjoy your morning coffee rain or shine, or step out into the private, fenced backyard to roast marshmallows over the firepit under the North Carolina stars.

Lovely home, great host!

We had a great and restful time staying on Geer St! The yard is fenced and Max was great about us bringing our dog along. The house was lovely and we would stay here again!

Nearness to Duke Clinic

We needed close to Duke Clinic and this house was less than 10 minutes. The house had everything we wanted and needed for our stay. Bedrooms on first floor and fenced yard for our pup.Host was very responsive and helpful. House is beautifully appointed and we would definitely stay again.

A Hidden Gem in Durham!

This newly listed property is a dream home in Durham. The property is spacious, immaculate, well stocked, and the perfect house for a large group. As a regular VRBO user, this is probably one of the top and best decorated, spacious, and cleanest stays I have had. This will be my go-to stay in Durham until my son graduates. Please take care of this gem and treat it with care if you plan to visit. Thanks for sharing your home, Max :-)

Perfection! Do not hesitate to book this property.

We came to Durham to visit our son at Duke. It was less than a 10 minute drive to East Campus. The house was wonderful. It was spacious with plenty of room to spread out. Our college student even opted to stay with us once he saw the loft, gaming system and coffee. Super comfortable beds, extra blankets, plenty of towels and a well-stocked kitchen. We felt safe in and outside of the home. The street was a bit busy but it did not cause any concerns or issues. Max was a prompt communicator. We didn't have any issues but I have no doubt he would have addressed them quickly and efficiently if needed. The house was spotless. Not only were the surfaces clean but the home is clearly deep cleaned after each guest. We've stayed at multiple rentals around Duke and Max's home will be the first listing we attempt to book in the future. Thank you!
