Month-to-Month Furnished Rentals in Raleigh, Durham & Cary

Move-in ready single-family homes near Research Triangle Park. Perfect for corporate relocation, travel nurses, and temporary housing. Stay for a week, a month, or longer.

The Smarter Alternative to Extended Stay Hotels

What is Carolina Furnished Rentals?

We provide premium mid-term rentals that offer the space of a home with the flexibility of a hotel. Unlike cramped corporate apartments, our portfolio consists of 95% single-family homes with private fenced yards and driveways.Whether you need a short-term lease while buying a house or a temporary furnished rental for a work contract, we bridge the gap between “vacation rental” and “year-long lease.”

01

The Process:

Spend a few weeks in Cary (polished, top-rated schools).

02

The Pivot:

Not your vibe? Move 30 minutes away to Durham (historic, artsy) or Apex (small-town charm).

03

The Result:

Shop at the local grocery store, walk the parks, and experience the morning commute before you commit to buying a permanent home.

We offer the hospitality of a hotel with the practicality of a home.

The "Live Like a Local" Program

Most people move to Raleigh without truly knowing the area. They pick a house, only to realize later the commute is terrible or the vibe isn’t right.

We created the Live Like a Local program to solve this. Instead of signing a year-long lease in a neighborhood you don’t know, use our “Flex-Week” leases to test-drive the Triangle:

Who We Serve

Find Your Housing Solution

The Relocator & Homebuyer (Gap Housing)

Context: You sold your house but haven’t closed on the new one.

The Solution: Stop living out of suitcases in a cramped hotel room. Our homes are “move-in ready”—fully stocked with linens, kitchen essentials, and high-speed WiFi.

Why CFR? We bridge the gap between closing dates with flexible extensions. If your closing gets pushed back, you aren’t homeless.

The Displaced Family (Insurance & ALE)

Context: Fire, flood, or mold has made your home uninhabitable.

The Solution: We work directly with insurance adjusters to handle Additional Living Expenses (ALE) claims.

Why CFR? You need a sense of normalcy. Our homes have full kitchens (to cook family meals) and fenced yards (so the dog can run), providing stability during a chaotic time.

The Travel Nurse (Medical Staffing)

Context: Contract at Duke, UNC, or WakeMed.

The Solution: Clean, safe housing that maximizes your stipend.

Why CFR? We offer “Blackout Curtain” sleep quality and proximity to hospitals. Avoid the high fees of placement agencies and book directly with a local provider who understands 13-week contract cycles.

Business Travelers & Remote Workers

Context: Assignment in RTP, Biotech (Holly Springs), or Tech (Raleigh).The Solution: A dedicated workspace and fiber internet in a quiet neighborhood.Why CFR? Forget unreliable hotel Wi-Fi. Our executive rentals come with enterprise-grade fiber internet and dedicated workspaces, located minutes from RTP (Research Triangle Park) and downtown tech hubs.

Going beyond the norm

Why Choose CFR Over Other Options?

Do you require a 30-day minimum stay?
No. While many corporate housing providers enforce a strict 30-day minimum, CFR offers "Flex-Week" leases starting at 7 days. This allows you to pay only for the time you need.
Is this a "Party House"?
No. We strictly vet guests to ensure our properties remain quiet and safe for our neighbors. We cater to professionals, families, and medical staff—not weekend parties or events.
Are utilities included?
Yes. Our rates are 100% all-inclusive. One payment covers electricity, water, gas, high-speed internet, and professional lawn care.
Do you allow pets?
Yes (Dogs Preferred). Since 95% of our homes are single-family residences with at least half an acre of land, we are far more pet-friendly than an apartment complex. Cats are subject to specific approval.

I've been partnering with Amanda and Alex, the founders of Carolina Furnished Rentals, for several years now. It has been one of the smartest and most rewarding decisions I’ve made as a property owner. I originally had self managed my property as as a long-term rental, but the returns just weren’t cutting it and managing everything felt like a chore. Since transitioning to mid-term rentals and partnering with the Carolina Furnished Rentals team, I'm seeing better cash flow and rents always paid on time, without all the headaches and drama associated with being a landlord.

Amanda and Alex handle everything from setup and furnishing, marketing, guest communication, property care, and even relationships with temporary housing agencies. The guests they place are respectful, professional and often come through corporate or relocation channels they've spent years cultivating. I really like the fact that the house gets inspected regularly, the yard is maintained, and the home is professionally cleaned each time a guest leaves before the next guest arrives. This ensures that the property is always in tip-top shape. I hope not to ever sell, but if I were ever in a situation where I have to, I can rest easy knowing that the property is always "move-in ready".

It’s truly hands-off for me, and I love that my home is in great hands while generating income that beats both LTR and STR models. If you're a property owner looking for a smarter way to get the most out of your investment with minimal effort, I highly recommend working with Amanda, Alex and their team. This is as close to passive real-estate investing as you can get.

Alex and his entire team are great to work with. We rented 2 different houses with them over a period of 5 months and had great experiences. Furnishings are top notch and the ability to have all utilities including Internet available as soon as you move in is very helpful.
