Mins to 5-Points/Outdoor Awning-Highland Hideaway

Summary:
Welcome to Highland Hideaway! Our home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, accommodating up to 13 guests! This is a great place for families and friends traveling together. We are within walking distance of many restaurants and less than a mile from the hospital and UAB. Our photos include professional shots and real-time images taken by our cleaning team, so you know exactly what to expect. Pets are welcome with a fee. We would love to host you!

The Space:
The front of the home has many steps leading to the door, and the driveway is steep; this might be challenging for some guests. An easier parking option is to use the alleyway behind the home. Between the driveway and alleyway, we can accommodate four vehicles. Guests will enter through the front door (by climbing the front exterior stairs; please review the listing photos to see the stairs) or through the back door from the alleyway using a digital keypad.
Enjoy a comfortable living room, fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, and onsite laundry.
Head downstairs into the basement converted into the fourth bedroom with two full beds. The other three bedrooms are upstairs: bedroom one with a king, bedroom two with a queen, and bedroom three with one twin and one twin-over-twin bunk bed.
Outside, enjoy a covered deck area in the back and fenced-in yard.

***A pack 'n play/travel crib is available upon request.***

Guest Access:
The house has a digital combo lock pad. We will provide you with the code 24 hours prior to your arrival.

The Neighborhood:
This house is conveniently located in a residential area. Walking distance to UAB, Avondale, Lakeview, or downtown restaurants, you don’t have to go far to find what you are looking for!

Getting Around:

Other Things to Note:

If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.


The front driveway is pretty steep but there is ample parking in the alley in back! Please do not park in the street.

We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee. If there is evidence of pet hair on the furniture, excess hair in the home, stains, or waste found in the yard or home, you will be charged the cost to clean this. In the event that a security deposit is collected, we will retain all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with additional cleaning due to pets.

Interaction with Guests:
We want to provide our guests with maximum privacy and flexibility, so we have check-in and check-out automated. We will call and touch base on the phone, and we can always have someone come and help if you need it, but otherwise, we will leave you and your friends and family to spend time together.

The beds were quite comfy, but...
SO. I booked this house for my out-of-town family to stay during my daughter's wedding. It took a minute to communicate with the host about an early check-in and then to get the check-in instructions. Probably because this is (apparently) a corporate rental and they are in Georgia. We got that figured out but when the first 7 guests arrived, there was inadequate cutlery (4 spoons, 1 fork, 7 knives), only 2 wine glasses and 2 coffee cups. We reserved for 10 guests and the listing claims it sleeps 13. 2 coffee cups and 2 wine glasses for 13 people? My sister tried to get help from the host, but at first they wanted to talk to only me. Problem was, I was occupied with wedding prep and could not talk. finally, after the second night of the 3-night stay, someone dropped off more cutlery and coffee cups. On the plus side, the beds were super comfy and the bunk beds were quiet with adults in them. The area is very convenient for both travel and entertainment. Across from a public golf course, near a drug store and a grocery as well as restaurants and with great access to main travel arteries. Sadly, the bathroom that serves most of the guests is so outdated that it looks nasty dirty. The tub is so used and battered it could be clean and wouldn't look it; same with the floor tiles. The bathmat is disintegrating. Also, there is no thresh hold on the back door so you can see daylight under it. Thankfully, we had ZERO problems with bugs, but as a local, that surprised me.

Great Location
Very convenient location. Comfortable beds but some of the extra comforters were very dirty. Bad lighting. I had to purchase light bulbs to replace the burnt out ones and dim ones which I left for the next guest. Just glad that grocery was across the street. Back patio was covered in leaves and thick dirt. Kitchen sink disposer was broken and I did not get a heads up on that. Also, back door bottom seal was not attached, leaning on the wall. Toilets did not flush everytime and even then not well. Skillets were very worn out and teflon was peeling, not healthy.

Alabama Stay
My family stayed for a week as we needed to be in Birmingham for the week due to family issues. The process was quick and easy and the property is located in a good neighbourhood next to a golf course and a CVS and Piggly Wiggly. We were well taken care of!

Close to downtown
We have lived in Birmingham for 10 years and were staying here as a transition during our move. Plenty of space, very clean when we came in! It’s an older home with an older AC unit so it takes a while to cook down. There were several bugs in the kitchen but that’s Birmingham and especially older homes.

Needs updating
Bathrooms were not clean abd need to be updated. Great location and good neighborhood. Has a lot of potential if the updates are done. We ended up leaving after the first night.

Bham getaway
Great location. I would provide a little warning about how steep it is getting up driveway. One person in our party had recent knee surgery so was a bit of a challenge but we managed. Everything was clean and as advertised. Awesome location.

Great house
We enjoyed a laid back weekend in Birmingham with our adult kids. We all had room to spread out and were able to eat outside on back patio. Love the location!
