A lovely Respite

I was so pleased with this Vrbo property. I was in town to plan my mother's funeral and I needed extra accommodations for myself and friends that were coming in town from Atlanta. This property was clean and comfortable and the host was an absolute doll to communicate with.

Bridesmaids Stay

This property was the perfect place for my daughter and her bridesmaids to stay for her wedding weekend! It provided just the right set up for them to spend time and get ready together! The sleeping porch was a big hit! It was precious, clean, and the host was so pleasant to work with! Highly recommend!

Our review

Room sizes where great! Very convenient, love the historical area. Enjoyed the front porch. Somethings that I believe could use attention. There needs to be extra blankets for the beds. Not having grab rails in the shower nor grip strips on the tub, is dangerous. The 2nd bathroom has a loose toilet seat and a broken tub spout. The pull cord to the blinds in the bathroom is broke off. The lamp switch in the 2nd bedroom was broke. In the picture it shows a coffee pot, so I brought coffee n filters, then i get there and its a keurig. Wish I would of known that. With that all being said... I would come back and we loved Mobile. Thank You.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Moore

Host profile image
I have a passion for hosting and take great joy in creating warm, inviting spaces where guests can truly feel at home. My husband and I are blessed with six children, and through our busy lives filled with travel sports and activities, we’ve had plenty of opportunities to experience what makes a stay truly comfortable. Our travel adventures have given us a deep understanding of the little details that help guests feel relaxed, cared for, and right at home!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property the moment we saw its timeless historic charm and the stunning live oak tree gracing the front yard! Located in the heart of the Oakleigh Historic Garden District, this home (built in 1905) is surrounded by the beauty of Mobile’s most iconic historic homes, majestic live oaks, and a warm, welcoming community. Here, you’ll often find neighbors strolling to nearby restaurants, parks, and museums, enjoying the unique character and vibrancy that make this neighborhood so special.

What makes this property unique

This home, built in 1905, truly embodies timeless beauty and charm. Every time we see it, we’re captivated all over again. The soaring 12-foot ceilings, the inviting historic front porch, the majestic live oak out front, and the original wood floors that grace much of the downstairs are what first stole our hearts. We’re confident you’ll love experiencing the unique historic character of this property just as much as we do!

Beyond its charm, the location is unbeatable—perfectly central to everything Mobile has to offer. And, as a bonus, you’re just a short walk from the excitement of the Mardi Gras parade route! We hope George will capture your heart just like it did ours.
