Nightmare host

Communication with the host was terrible. Half of our week was spent with contractors in and out of the property fixing things. The back patio was filthy and not usable. Water leaks, no hot water for 2 days (traveling with a baseball team in 100 degree heat), no ping pong paddles or balls, broken cornhole boards, overgrown landscape. Clearly no one had been in the property for months. Was promised $150 credit that I never received. We travel as a group many times a year and this was by far our worst experience yet.

The property worked okay

This is a very unique property. The basement is a bit strange, but worked for our family. The kitchen needs at least 2 9X13 pans for baking. We had to go buy more liquid dish soap and kitchen hand towels, as there were none. Many had cold showers because the hot water ran out. There was only one hair drier, when we were told there would be one in each bathroom. The baseboards in the bathrooms need to be cleaned. The owner was very easy to work with and the house overall worked for our family.

Rough neighborhood

While the inside of the house was decent. The neighborhood is in a pretty sketchy area. As we were all male adults, we were ok, but I definitely would not have wanted to be there with my family or young kids. Our microwave did not work, which we reported, but never got a response

NICE HOME

We are a group of 8 senior ladies and travel together one week/long weekend a year. We found this home to be welcoming. The neighborhood was quiet. There are some safety features which need addressing ASAP but, we would stay there again.

Ok

We rented this home for a long weekend and it did meet our needs. However there were multiple things that needed repair including an active leak from the upstairs bathroom into the ceiling of the downstairs. It could use some significant cosmetic renovation downstairs.

Plenty of Beds!

This property is a rare find in that it has many beds and separate bedrooms for large groups (we were a group of coworkers traveling together). Extremely helpful that most bathrooms are located outside bedrooms for access for everyone as as well! The third highlight was the awesome backyard deck. The house appears to be recently renovated to combine a duplex to a single rental, but it still feels like a mix of old and new. One example is that the main bath still has a small, original shower and jet tub, while the vanity is newly replaced. The lower level sits above ground, but feels like a basement due to the low ceilings and flooring. The house would be improved with attention to more details like light switch plates fully screwed to the wall, upgraded toilets, finishing details around ceiling lights, etc. The driveway could also be repaved to address the unevenness that causes cars to bottom out in reverse. I travel a lot and use home rental sites frequently. This property was average compared to similar, large rentals but great for the available bedroom and bathroom accommodations for big groups who don’t want to share beds. The beds themselves were also pretty comfy!

Golf Trip

8 of us stayed in the house for a week. The house was super clean and in a great location for all of the golf courses we played. Had a minor issue with one of the door locks but the issue was taken care of in a couple of minutes via text. The owners were so easy to deal with. We will be back! Thanks for a great stay.

We will def book this place again if we need to stay in the area. Everything was great. The house, the people, and the neighborhood. The owners were extremely easy to deal with. We had no problems at all. They even left us cookies.

As Advertised

The property was as shown. Just the right space for my group. There were some things that had to be fixed as we went but the owner was very responsive. Some uprades to the exterior and fixtures inside will enhance the renter experience.

Couple things

The stay was great except there were some things that needed to be addressed. 1-Master shower does not turn off completely. 2-Dishwasher does not open the detergent door when it runs. Dishes don't clean well.

Birmingham Golf

The property is located in a quite neighborhood close to I-65 and many great restaurants. Also close to the golf courses we played. Especially RTJ courses. When we had questions the host was in touch within 15 minutes.

Amazing

I used the rental for a family gathering and it was great. The design, the location, etc was great. It was clean and the beds were comfy and the hot water temperature was incredible. 20/10 i recommend!
