This is the second time we have stayed here, and we still love it. It is in a perfect location for Mardi Gras, easily walkable to the parade route. The house itself is lovely and well-kept, and the host is very responsive.

Really enjoyed our stay for Mardi Gras. You don’t have to worry about parking because you can walk to downtown in no time or walk to the end of your street and be on the parade route. Felt safe the entire time. House is very homey and the little treats were an added bonus.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Had everything I needed for a trip to mobile for Mardi Gras. Close to the downtown but also quiet at night time. The bedrooms were cozy, with plenty of room. The house was beautiful and I love the historic bones of the house. Large backyard. Walking in to the house with a hand written note and complimentary treats was the cherry on top. I just wish my stay here was longer, would recommend for anyone visiting this area!

Graceful Southern charm. The house is light and airy and had everything we needed. We loved the tall ceilings and wood floors. We were concerned that our little dog would be able to get under the house in the backyard, but otherwise the yard was secure. We loved it and still book again

So many wonderful things to list about this home and host. The house was lovely and so well appointed. We asked the host if the house had one random thing that was very specific to our needs. It didn’t have it so the kind host went and bought it for us. Not many who would do that. We so appreciated it. Loved the fenced in back yard for our puppies, beautiful decor, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. We would stay there again without question. Highly recommend this property! Very convenient to Downtown as well and a beautiful walkable neighborhood! Parking on the side of the house was also very helpful. No question that this is an exceptional property!

This was a wonderful house, just as described and depicted. It is nicely decorated, cozy and yet large enough to offer space. Our dog loved the fenced in back yard. The host was responsive and had clearly thought of everything, up to dog treats, kitchen amenities, maps and more. The location couldn't be better. Mobile has lovely historic neighborhoods and this house is in the middle of one of them. We had many wonderful walks, just looking at homes. It takes about 20 minutes to walk downtown (one direction) or to other amenities (Walgrens, Aldi) in the other direction. Parking next to the house was an additional benefit. I recommend this place as highly as possible!
