Everything during our stay was great. There was fantastic communication with Chris, the host. We couldn't have asked for a better location. Close to the RJT golf courses and a great place to relax and watch the NCAA games after a good round of golf. Chris definitely cared about making sure we didn't have any issues and that we were enjoying our stay.

Lovely Home

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Everything was just as it appeared online. The home was cozy and had a home away from home feel. Christopher was SUPER responsive and helpful, providing resources and restaurants in the area. We walked in to a handwritten personalized welcome note that added a really nice touch. . We would definitely consider staying again when we’re in the area.

If you are looking for a home thats in a safe, quiet, convenient to stores, recreation, and restaurants, this is your place? Chris made this an extremely pleasant and memorable experience for our golf group. We travel to Bham once a year to play golf and out of the past 3 visits, this one was the right on. The previous two years were very deceiving when it came to the location and the homes we visited. Very disappointing.Thanks for the hospitality Chris.

Overall a nice house

This is an overall nice house. As it is an older home, be prepared for some creaking sounds in the floors when people walk around. The hosts have taken extra care with all the amenities. The house is clean and very comfortable. The neighborhood is also older and located on a busy street, but the neighbors are friendly. The host was very kind and thorough in their communication.

Excellent upgrades

Beautiful home with a fantastic remodel. The house was excellently appointed, Furniture was wonderful, it wasn’t bare & sparse like so many VRBO‘s,. It actually felt like a home well cared for.Lots of little extras. Excellent communication. We felt safe in the neighborhood. The only drawback Is that it is not super close to restaurants. But we would definitely stay again.
