Nice but ratings seem a bit inflated
Booking process was easy. Had to reach out to owner to obtain check in information. Arrived at location and grass was very long, we understood there has been some rain over the prior days; however, owners live across the street and their grass was appropriate length. Appreciated there was an off-street parking driveway. The front porch area needs a power wash due to mold and mold smell - evidence of a wipe down was there but needs to be cleaned in order to enjoy it. Thankfully the inside of the home did not smell moldy. The house was well appointed and pretty clean. Some deeper dusting should occur on bath vanity doors, toilet paper holders etc. The light-colored couch had evidence of several stains on it and the upstairs carpeting had many small stain marks. I was thankful the couple that was to come with us didn't so we could work around this. Master bedroom bed was not comfortable, and the pillows need to be replaced. Also suggest heavier curtains or blinds to block out light in master bedroom. The location was not super close/walkable to downtown restaurants/bars. Neighborhood was quiet and love the historic designation. This property worked for us as a place to stay for a few days; however, I would not say this is "10" exceptional by any means.

Perfect spot in downtown Mobile
My wife and I and two college-aged girls had the best weekend here. The location is great. We parked the car on Thursday and didn't get back into it until Sunday. Everything that we wanted to do was within walking distance. The hosts were amazing and very communicative. We stay in a lot of STRs and this one went above and beyond. I can't count how many houses that we have walked into that have NOTHING for their guests. This house was stocked with coffee, condiments, toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc. We will always stay here when we come back. The house itself is gorgeous (I mean: it is in the historic district.)

Perfect stay!
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The location of the house was exactly what we were looking for— adorable, very walkable historic neighborhood, convenient to restaurants, coffee shops, and downtown sites. The house was clean and comfortable, and the layout was perfect for our family of 6. We would definitely return!

Bluehouse Review
My family and I were in town for a concert and stayed at the Bluehouse. The property was well kept and had everything we needed. The location was nice and you could walk to several restaurants and shops. The owner was quick to respond to questions. We would stay there again!

Southern Hospitality
This was the best stay for a traveling experience I’ve ever had. I stay at VRBO’s all over the country and this little blue house was spectacular. Clean and tidy with everything you need. An historic home in a historic neighborhood. A safe/secure neighborhood where neighbors look out for each other. When we got home every time from a long day of meetings, it felt like coming home vs just a place to stay. Lara, the owner lives right across the street and was super friendly and informative about the area and town and when we saw her out, she would ask “If there’s anything y'all need, you let us know and we’ll get it for ya.” Southern hospitality at its best!! There on business but gotta find an excuse to come back!

Great Location
This house was Wonderful! Great Location, and very clean! Lara was so helpful with any questions we had. This was our first time staying in Mobile and wasn't sure what to expect, but it was great! The house is right in the middle of the historical district. The house had everything you needed for your visit. Quaint, quiet, well kept neighborhood! Highly recommend this home away from home.

Wonderful stay!
We enjoyed our winter get-a-way very much, in beautiful downtown Mobile. The property is really cute and charming, and the up-scale location makes walking to all our favorite Mobile hangouts so fun. Our hosts Lara and Richie are very accommodating and friendly, while letting us enjoy the privacy and amenities of home. A must-stay if you are visiting Mobile, and we hope to return next winter!

Our second time to stay at the property and just like the first the homeowners made sure that our needs were met. House is awesome and location is close to several venues. We chose it because of the closeness to the cruise terminal.

Convenient accommodations
House is convenient to downtown activities. Just a short 10 minute walk which allows you to see the beautiful historical homes. Plenty of restaurants nearby plus a dog park if you are traveling with your furry companion. The hosts are exceptionally great. Answered all of our questions and gave us plenty of recommendations. If traveling brings us back to Mobile this is where we will stay.

This property deserves MORE than 5 stars!
The house was perfect for my business trip. Extremely clean! Convenient location. Good neighborhood. I travel to Mobile annually for a conference in the Convention Center. I’ll definitely book this house again next year if it’s available. The pictures really don’t do it justice. The host is located near by for easy communication although I had no issues or reason to call on her. Don’t hesitate to book this one!
