My husband and I rented this property for us, a couple of our adult children and their spouses, and my mom for a 5 day weekend while in town for my son’s wedding. It was a lovely, festive home with plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable and offered lots of entertainment between events. The host was very responsive from booking through the end of our stay. If we find ourselves in the area with a large group, I would 100% look to see if this is available again and would highly recommend it!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for trusting our house to be part of such a special celebration! It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and I'm so glad the space worked well for the wedding weekend. We'd love to welcome you back anytime you're in the area!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Stephanie. I'm a traveler, entrepreneur, dog lover, and proud vacation home host.

Why they chose this property

I love discovering unique places when I travel, so I created one of my own! Kensington Place offers the best of Foley and Gulf Shores. Our neighborhood is SO close to so many amazing activities and some of the best food I've ever had! I enjoy spending as much time as I can down there in the slow season.

What makes this property unique

Our home is designed to be fun, comfortable, and a little extra. I love design and had a blast bringing this home to life! It is dog-friendly too, because vacations are better with paws included. I'm excited to host on the beautiful Alabama coast!
