Our Birmingham Stay
There are pros and cons to this vacation home. The owners were VERY attentive to our requests immediately at check-in and it has plenty of room for a family with everyone getting their own personal space. PROS: Home is very spacious, beds were all comfortable, kitchen was stocked, and owners had items delivered in less than 30 minutes after arrival when things were needed. The following day, they even dropped off TP and laundry soap which was a thoughtful surprise.Offered to clean again if we wanted them to. It is a nicely remodeled older home CONS: The round dining room table was more like a wobbly "lazy susan". Not safe to sit plates of food on or hot coffee. The TV is not on the table as pictured. It is sitting on a table top night stand and is dangerously hanging off each side. Neither were ideal if traveling with young ones. The yard is not fenced in. There is tons of broken glass on the side of the house as well as at least two thirds of the backyard. I kept the dog close to the patio as that area did not have broken glass. There was too much to attempt to clean it up myself... tons of it everywhere. As a mom, it is not in a neighborhood where I would want to walk my dog alone or have the kids play outside in the backyard.

Family fun!
Property was well kept, especially for the age of the home. Had everything we needed for our family trip. Booking and check in were both very convenient. Would stay here again! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your patriot home.

Spring Break
We came to visit family for spring break. Although it is a nice house, there were things in the house that wasn’t good. The front shower was half cleaned as it had hair from the last guests still on the wall which causes me to think it was half cleaned. Also the master bedroom shower was never used because the curtains weren’t no long enough to avoid water running out on the floor so it was never used.
