About Oak City Retreats

Locally owned.
Personally managed.

Two boutique suites in downtown Raleigh, operated by Ansar Properties. No property management middlemen. No impersonal service. Just a well-designed place to stay and an owner who picks up the phone.

Why we do this differently.

Oak City Retreats is operated by Ansar Properties, a Raleigh-based real estate company focused on creating quality living and lodging experiences across the Triangle.

Both suites at 902 S. East Street were designed with a simple philosophy: furnish them the way we'd want to stay in them. Quality linens, a real coffee setup, fast WiFi, and spaces that feel like a home — not a hotel room.

Booking direct means you deal with the owner, every time. No call centers, no chatbots, no third-party intermediaries. If something's wrong, we fix it. If you have a request, we listen.

We list on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com — but guests who book direct always get the best rate and the most direct line of communication.

01
Design matters
Every detail is considered — from the mattress to the coffee grinder. We stay in our own properties so we know what works.
02
Direct is better
Book direct, pay less, communicate more. No OTA markups, no platform fees eating into your budget.
03
Responsive ownership
You're dealing with the owner — not a property manager. Response times measured in minutes, not hours.
04
Raleigh first
We're local. We know the best spots, the hidden gems, and the shortcuts that no algorithm recommends.
