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.

Great place to stay for a week in Birmingham. The location is great, close to all the golf courses, and restaurants. The house is very clean and has everything you need. The downstairs room is an amazing hangout room to relax and talk with friends. Property manger was extremely easy to reach and very generous. Awesome place to stay! 5 Stars

Absolutely wonderful. The host always leaves complimentary items related to our trip when we check in. Our family has an amazing time enjoying the amenities for entertainment at the house. We enjoy selecting this location for all our trips to Hoover, it’s a must for our family! We are treated like friends of the host each time and taken care of with thoughtfulness. Host is always available and respond immediately. Couldn’t be happier anywhere else during our trips.

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.

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.

Quiet neighborhood, super clean house and even surprised us with snacks in the kitchen which was great after a long drive. Out teen and young adult children loved the basement entertainment area.

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.

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.

The entire house was so clean, and the beds was so comfortable. We enjoyed every minute of it. They had a stocked coffee bar, snacks, water, and fruits. The makeup wipes was an excellent touch.
