Golf Getaway

Cozy residence with very thoughtful amenities. Quiet, safe and secure property in a lovely rural setting close to many upscale restaurants and close to a very nice state park. Public golf courses in the area are very nice which was the motivation for our visit to Alabama. We had a wonderful experience with this property and the surrounding area.

A Little Gem in a Good Location

My wife and I stayed for a somewhat extended period to visit in the Birmingham area. The unit was well appointed and clean. The neighbors were friendly. The location was very good, for us. We participated in some downtown events, and downtown was only 15 minutes, or so, away. Shopping and restaurants are nearby. Really.....quite nice.

Nice Clean apartment

The property description is very accurate. It is a nice clean little place to stay. The property manager was very quick and helpful to answer any questions I had. My only complaint would be not being able to use a Discover card to pay for the booking. Other than that it is a great place to stay.

Perfect for My Purposes

I was only in town for less than 72 hours and needed a place that accepted dogs, convenient to my son and his family in Vestavia Hills. This really filled the bill. My only issue was my own ignorance of not being tech-savvy on operating a live stream TV (cable is my friend!). But I was actually in the condo for just a relatively short amount of time, so this wasn't a huge issue (and likely no issue for most folks!). Everything I needed was there, and the layout and amenities were at my fingertips. The condo was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower had great water pressure . . . those were my three most important features! I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others. Very helpful host, too! Thanks much!

Quiet Setting

Quiet, 1 BR, 1-1/2 bath, with roll away mattress and pull out couch for extra sleeping if needed. Located in a quiet, forested neighborhood, apartment community, near major highways. Very clean. Host is very communicative. We visited our son at UA, and we found the drive to be very doable.
