The Durham Jewel

Experience comfort at this Durham Jewel, hosted by Castle Stays. This chic space offers a plush bedroom, full bath, full kitchen, two flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, and a Bluetooth light-up floor length mirror for a touch of glam. Perfect for couples, professionals, visitors seeking peace near Duke Hospital, Downtown Durham, shopping, and dining. Stylish, spotless, and convenient-your private Durham retreat awaits.

Don't forget to experience local wine tasting at Total Wine, next door to DSW in the same vicinity as The Kanki, Hibachi Grill Buffet, Old Navy, Target and more! This popular shopping strip, known as Highway 15/501 just 10 minutes away from your personal accommodations with Castle Stays, nestled in the Duke University section of Downtown Durham, (known as Bull City) is centered in-between Whole Foods, a Co-Op Market and Food Lion.

The Founder, Xaviera of Castle Stays, is from Seattle Washington who 20 years ago moved to North Carolina marrying, Durhams' Highschool MVP Derrick who has deep community roots. Xaviera fell in love with the Sothern charm of Durham and her husband Derrick all at the same time, and has had the opportunity watch its transformation as Durham continues to build and preserve its historic monuments such as the Hayti District, (aka Black Wall Street) and the American Tabacco Historic District where Ice skating is available (located Downtown). All adjacent to DPAC and the new baseball stadium. Do stop, to rendezvous and enjoy grand fountains with holiday lights that Downtown Durham has to offer. Night life offers a range of entertainment from banquet halls, arcades, exhilarating mechanical bull rides, and more!

If you have any questions or need recommendations of any kind, don't hesitate to inquire from your Host at Castle Stays. We are excited to share the Jewels of Durham with you.

Your Host,
Castle Stays
