Lovely neighborhood
Stayed a week in AL and this was our first stop. The home was as expected - clean and tidy. Great space for lounging. The neighborhood was beautiful, and the location couldn't have been better! A short 10–15-minute drive to the USS Alabama and Dauphin Street. The owner was very attentive. We were scheduled to arrive a couple days after Hurricane Helene was supposed to hit land, so we reached out to the owner about our trip and options. She stayed in constant communication with us during this ordeal which was greatly appreciated. Overall, great place to start our trip.

Mother/daughter beach trip
We had some problems with the air conditioner, the first night there so it was pretty warm. We couldn’t get a hold of the owners the next morning they called. They fix the situation pretty quick so it was fine. We did see some dead roaches

Rock the Country getaway!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The host was very responsive to communications and accommodated us with an early check in time. This charming home is located in a nice old southern midtown neighborhood! It had such an overall good feel on arrival and throughout our weekend stay in Mobile for a music festival. It is lovely decorated and well maintained with whatever you can think of but forgot at home!!! Thanks for the qtips and Tim Horton coffee! ... and we even had time to enjoy a few good songs on the real record player! Would definitely come back and highly recommend.

Exceptional stay!
everything was as depicted in listing. beautiful historical house, with gorgeous hardwood floors! great communication with gracious host Catherine. my husband enjoyed staying at your house while visiting our daughter, a mobile resident. pictures did not do the house justice, every little need was met. beautifully furnished. the only thing was the pretty bathtub sides were almost too tall for me to step over, im 5'4" and my husband helped me to step over the high sides, a handhold would be nice to assist short legged people like me, thank you so much for allowing us to stay here!

Good location for everything. Beautiful quaint neighborhood. Ceiling fans/ceiling light controls a bit confusing, but not a big deal. Not a fan of the circular living room sofa. Would appreciate more electrical outlets and/or USB outlets. Would stay here again.
