The house was location was good, very clean and lots of big rooms to spread out. However the house and outside needs improvement;
Flooring in all downstairs is busted up, cracks all over which is a trip hazard, no remote for master ceiling fan so could run fan without light (one switch). We wanted a fenced yard so out dogs could play outside however there is no under pending around deck or house so the dogs could get under deck and house, the gate had big gaps and holes, just in yard, against fence and house so area was useless , neighbors has 20 cats which was over all the time sleeping. Driveway and sidewalk is a danger zone as it’s busted up so bad my SUV dragged every time I left house and walk carefully to not to trip and fall on sidewalk. No railing on steps to get into house.

Our stay was generally enjoyable. However, my husband incurred a foot injury due to a raised screw. The flooring throughout much of the home is in poor condition, with areas that are coming up, posing a significant tripping hazard. I tripped multiple times during our weekend stay. Additionally, the air conditioning system did not function effectively, resulting in consistently high temperatures around 78 degrees. The upstairs unit did not operate at all, but we were grateful for the fans provided to help keep that area cooler. In the far bedroom upstairs, the ceiling appears to be deteriorating. While we appreciated the pool area, we did notice a security camera present (presumably for the property's protection), which made me feel somewhat uncomfortable in my bathing suit, as it seemed that the three neighboring properties could see the deck area.
10.0 / 10.0
We were in town for a family funeral and needed a place large enough and convenient for our family members. The home was adorable and have much charm and character. The home exceeded our expectations for space. The host was very responsive and did a great job of being proactive during our checkin process. We most definitely will book again in the future.

We enjoyed our stay in Alabama, it was very cozy and welcoming. We did have issues with the a/c upstairs it would get extremely hot. But other than that it was a great stay.
8.0 / 10.0
Great place, really need to fix the floor. Curtains would be nice. Another hair dryer. Plug in by one of beds on guest room and another in the bathroom did not work. A few more chairs in each sitting room would be nice.
The six of us were comfortable! We would stay again!
6.0 / 10.0
I absolutely hate leaving bad reviews, but unfortunately, this experience deserves one.
Upon first glance, the house is very cute and appears clean. After walking on the floors, however, it was clear they really were not clean at all. After walking around barefoot, we had feet so dirty they were nearly black. I had let my baby crawl around on the floor, and the tops of her feet were filthy.
There are also MANY pieces of flooring (LVP) that have come loose and are either dislodged, broken, or "fixed" by being nailed down with finishing nails.
During our stay, we saw several bugs which isn't unheard of in Alabama, but lead us to suspect that the house wasn't sprayed for bugs. We saw spiders, roaches, a palmetto bug, and a few smaller bugs in with the "clean" dishes (which were definitely not all clean).
We also experienced some broken furniture, lack of comfortable sitting space (living room seats 4 when house sleeps 10+), and missing kitchen items.
There were signs with a phone number for the property manager that said to call or text them. I tried texting multiple times, but didn't receive a reply. When I tried calling early or later in the day the phone rang for 5+ mins w/ no answer. When I finally talked to someone they were helpful but required I reach out for updates instead of keeping me informed on the fixing of a major ceiling leak that occurred during our stay.
I couldn't recommend this house, but hope they address these concerns so others can enjoy it!

I'm going to start with the good. House is huge although does not look it from outside. Nice pool in back yard with a big deck. Location is quiet, not far from groceries and gas. There were beach towels in closet. That being said there is definitely room for improvement. Master bedroom door does not lock as it's on the outside of door so issue with privacy. We had 10 people and only a small couch/sitting chair in living room. Had to sit on bar stools but still not room for everyone to relax. Laminate flooring is coming apart due to humidity I'm assuming. My grandson tripped over it numerous times and you will stub your toes, we just wore shoes to avoid this. Drywall is coming off the walls and there was mold in couple different places. Encountered several water bugs during our stay so pest control needs evaluated. Deck needs a railing of some kind especially with young kids coming through. Bathroom floors had hair from previous guests. Price to me was high for all issues and needed repairs

I would have liked not to comment but I wouldn’t want other people to go through the same. I can only simply say, I do not recommend this place. When we came, the check in time was 4:00, we arrived around 4:45 and we found 2 people claiming to be cleaning the pool but we’re swimming and smoking and the pool was still dirty. They were also calling me for 2 days straight because they supposedly were going to clean the pool. I do not recommend this place at all.
8.0 / 10.0
The house definitely accommodated my family as far as the space and amenities were concerned. The host was extremely helpful and attentive to our needs. My family was in town for a funeral, the host made sure a beautiful flower arrangement was there waiting for us when we arrived at my request which I thoroughly appreciated.
The house has been updated in most aspects but definitely needs a lot more attention to cosmetics and detail (for example, chipping and unfinished paint, the leaves could have been cleared from the front so we could see the driveway better, etc.).
