This is a great house near downtown Greenville. The property manager was real quick to address a small problem and made our stay very comfortable. We didn't cook this trip but the kitchen had everything. I will definitely stay here again!

Sweet Historic Bungalow
This lovingly maintained and restored home was the perfect spot for us to spend Christmas week with family in Greenville. The property was just as advertised and close to downtown shops and restaurants with plenty of things in walking distance. It was great to bring our dogs with us as well. Cassondra was very responsive to our communication before and during our stay. The only reason for the missing star is the host wasn’t able to message us through the app at all (only pre-authored automated messages came through) so we had to reach out and communicate by text message. The host held a separate agreement/contract via their own website which we were happy to sign but it did have some confusing and potentially costly language about pet and cleaning fees that were different than what’s in the VRBO listing. I requested confirmation before our stay that the furnace air intake filter had been changed recently since I have asthma. The filter was clearly very dirty when we arrived; I needed medication to sleep comfortably during our stay. I informed the host about the dirty filter but it was not able to be resolved during our stay and we were unable to change it ourselves due to it being installed on high ceilings.

Cute bungalow
Cute bungalow was clean, spacious and met all of our needs on our recent stay. Proximity to downtown offers the ability to walk to a variety of restaurants, a few shops and campus. The house provided everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and the coffee bar was a great addition. We spent a lot of time outside and enjoyed having that extra space in the yard as well. We will be back!

Pirates Retreat
Owner was very communicative and helpful! 5 star owner. Cottage as advertised and clean, neat, well updated. Neighborhood was just ok but close proximity to uptown which is nice and new. TV was streaming only which is a pain in the rear. Overall would stay again for sure.

Cozy, Clean and Convenient!
We throughly enjoyed our stay over the long weekend. The house was cozy, clean and convenient...indoors and outdoors… great all around for us and our pups. All was comfortable and enjoyable, we even had some family and friends to visit/hang in the family room and enjoyed Sunday family dinner in the Dining Room. The kitchen is smaller but with creativity it's definitely large enough to pull off a big meal. We are so happy to have found this great option for a Greenville getaway. Thank you so much!

Good Times
absolute perfection for 5 friends re-connecting from grad school which was 20 years ago! one of the best VRBO homes I have stayed in. proximity to ECU campus, downtown, shops, restaurants, bars could not have been closer. I never used my car during the 4 day stay. we did not mind the proximity to ECU student/Greek housing either, but other guests may need to consider this ;)

We loved staying at the Pirates Hide Away! It is our 2nd time staying here, and we will definitely stay again in the future. The house is only 1 mile to our Son's house, which made it very convenient for us getting him settled in for his Senior year at ECU and for celebrating his 22nd Birthday!

Nice clean place in downtown Greenville
Overall this was a good experience. The pros are the place is very clean, they provided a lot of items in the kitchen such as coffee and a little ice maker and the kitchen was well stocked with items needed. Also the rooms were larger and all had ceiling fans. Bathrooms have nicer towels, shampoo and soap dispensers on the shower walls, and even makeup towels. The AC worked well though it did go out the second night and they promptly had a repair person over on Saturday morning and quickly fixed the issue. I appreciate the quick responsiveness of the owners. The areas of improvement that would make it exceptional were the grass outside was very high and as a result there were a lot of mosquitos in the yard which made sitting outside challenging. There was also a neighbor throwing a party which was louder but still to be a little expected in a college town. Many of the door knobs in the place come loose to the rooms as they are very old doors and knobs and could be tightened and resolved. The final item to note is there are cameras stated in the listing. They do not create a super inviting feeling to want to sit outside and enjoy the nice porch and area. I understand the need for protection but it makes the experience of being outside less comfortable from a privacy and conversation aspect. Overall I do highly recommend if you need a place in Greenville to stay!
