About this property

Carolina Hideaway – Spacious 2BR Apartment with King Bed & Fenced Yard, Near UNC

Welcome to Carolina Hideaway — a spacious, quiet 2-bedroom basement apartment in a leafy Carrboro neighborhood, just a short drive from UNC and Chapel Hill. With 1,200 square feet, 9-foot ceilings, and your own private entrance, it's the bright, sunny kind of basement, not the dark kind you're picturing — roomy and made for settling in, whether you're visiting family near UNC, in town for a hospital stay, or working remotely for a few weeks.

Sleep soundly in a king bed with crisp Kirkland cotton linens, cook real meals in the kitchenette, let the dog loose in the fully fenced backyard, and end the day on the patio under the fruit trees. Guests tell us they come back — we hope you will too.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at this residence. Our hosts were very accommodating. There is a walking trail not far from the home that I used twice. The entire guest quarters are very clean and well stocked with necessities. Communication with the owners was excellent also. My family and I are thankful for the opportunity to stay with such very nice hosts. We will pray them and their continued successes at providing future lodging for others.

Absolutely wonderful accommodations. We had everything we needed for our week long stay and it was such a bonus that we were able to bring our elderly dog who really enjoyed the fenced backyard. The host Anna has made the space so comfortable and full of warm touches including books, games, puzzles and even toys for those who travel with little ones. This VRBO is exactly as pictured - truly a treasure and we will most certainly stay here again when we visit Chapel Hill!!!

Great Stay!

We enjoyed staying here. Pictures don’t do it justice. Was neat, clean and surprisingly spacious. I feel owners truly tried to provide little things that often are forgotten on a trip - qtips, Lint roller, games and plenty of good towels.

Anna and Frank were great hosts. This is the best experience we have had at a VRBO. They were very quick to respond and resolve a couple minor things. I would highly recommend staying at this location. Very easy in and out and nice neighborhood. Very spacious rooms and they really gave alot of thought on what a family might need during a vacation or extended stay.

Chapel Hill/NC State

My family had a great time staying at Carolina Hideaway this past weekend. We chose this place for a multiple of reasons. It was clean, easy check in process, super convenient to our daughter’s new place, not far from the interstate, but most of all because we were traveling with an elderly dog. Everything we could have needed was provided by the host and more. Definitely would stay again.

This was a good place to stay which was cheaper than hotels near UNC. The beds were comfortable. The place was a little more run down looking than pictures show but I can tell the hosts are working on it. I was a little disappointed that the kitchen only had a small two burner plug-in stove instead of the traditional stove. My teenagers were a little too nervous for us to use.

Nice neighborhood with decent location

Please was clean and decent size. Walk down the hill has pavers/rocks but would be hard for older people to go down. Has a hot plate instead of a oven or stove. Only issue we had was heating. I guess with the type of heating it wont go over 70. We could never get it above 68. They do provide a couple heaters as well to help tho. Was a nice place and hosts were very helpful and nice.

Owner is very nice and accommodating

On street parking is doable. The long access path to the back entrance is gravel and stone, can't roll a suitcase on it, and you need to watch your step. Very well maintained and clean basement apartment. Some difficulty figuring out how to operate HVAC, and we had some difficulty figuring out some of the kitchen appliances. Some noise from owner upstairs, but owner was very responsive to our concern and it was not an issue. The owner was very kind and accessible, and she and her husband were very helpful in addressing our concerns. The apartment is worth the rental price
