The Blue Haven Bungalow
Summary:
Welcome to Blue Haven Bungalow, a stylish and cozy retreat in downtown Carrboro. Walk to coffee shops, restaurants, and local favorites, then come home to a thoughtfully designed space with comfortable beds, a stocked kitchen, and a relaxing outdoor area.
The Space:
Welcome to Blue Haven Bungalow — your downtown Carrboro home base.
Tucked in the heart of Carrboro, this charming bungalow blends comfort, personality, and function for an easy stay whether you’re here for a UNC visit, a weekend getaway, or time with friends and family.
Inside you’ll find warm, curated interiors, cozy gathering spaces, and multiple sleeping areas designed for real rest (not just “a place to crash”). The kitchen is ready for mornings at home, quick meals between adventures, or a full dinner night in.
Best of all: you’re just steps away from the energy of downtown Carrboro—shops, food, and local charm—while still enjoying the privacy and calm of your own space.
Guest Access:
Driveway parking is available for up to 3 cars. No more than 3 cars are allowed, and there is no overflow parking.
No more than 6 guests are allowed, per the rules of the permit issued by the town.
The Neighborhood:
Blue Haven Bungalow is located in downtown Carrboro, one of the most charming and walkable areas in the Triangle. Carrboro is known for its laid-back, artsy vibe, locally owned shops and restaurants, great coffee spots, and a strong sense of community. You’ll be just minutes from UNC-Chapel Hill, making this an ideal home base for campus visits, game days, events, and weekends exploring Chapel Hill and the surrounding area.
Whether you’re grabbing breakfast downtown, enjoying a night out, or simply taking a stroll through the neighborhood, Carrboro offers a fun, local experience that feels both vibrant and relaxed.
Getting Around:
Carrboro is very walkable, and many local restaurants, coffee shops, and shops are just a short stroll away. For anything farther, driving is easy and rideshares like Uber/Lyft are readily available. UNC-Chapel Hill is only a quick drive away. Franklin Street is less than a mile away and the UNC Chapel Hill Campus is 2 miles making it the perfect location for your UNC weekend fun!

Perfect location for a concert at Cats cradle or anything UNC Chapel Hill campus. Overall, the place was very nice and clean.The address in the listing was incorrect and took us to N. Greensboro instead of S. Greensboro. We contacted the property manager through VRBO and it took a while to hear back. Once they update the address on the listing, it will be fine. Overall, a good place to stay.

We loved this place... spacious, super clean, fenced yard, two full baths with a good laundry setup, kitchen has everything you need (and not a bunch of stuff you don't)... great location near downtown Carrboro. The host was super responsive. A-plus!

The house was perfect for our weekend visiting our son at UNC! It was close enough that we could walk 25 minutes to meet him on campus. The street the house is on does not have a sidewalk so use caution when walking; however, during the day we had no problem walking in the grass area by the road until we got to the sidewalk streets. It’s a short 5 minute drive to anything around Carrboro/ Franklin St. area. We enjoyed being able to have space and even do some laundry for my son while visiting. We typically stay in a hotel when visiting, but I will definitely stay here again. The hosts were excellent and available for all my questions. We were so busy with activities on campus that we didn’t get to enjoy the nice backyard area. Next time, hopefully we will have time to sit outside and enjoy the fire pit.
