There are plenty of parks and restaurants around, and you have quick access to all Cary, Apex, Fuquay, and Holly Springs have to offer.

When you live in nature, nature lives with you. This home is surrounded by mature trees, and although we have routine pest control, an occasional critter may make its way inside, and this is not 100% preventable. If this is a major concern, a listing less in nature may be better suited for your stay.
Please treat the home as your own, and use my motto "leave a place better than you found it." Please also treat our neighbors as your own.
Bring your own firewood if you plan to use the fire/fire pit.
We use two security cameras to monitor the exterior of the house. No smoking inside or on front or back porch ($200 fine for smoking inside)
Park in driveway only (3-4 car max and no street parking allowed)
No unauthorized guests other than those booked
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Surprise For My Dad
My siblings and I along with our spouses came in from NY,Alabama and Charlotte to surprise my father for his 87th birthday. My father lives is Fuquay so this was a perfect location. We were not far from Dad and just minutes from anything we would need! The house is tucked away in a cozy neighborhood which is very nice.
