Wonderful stay in Hoover!

We booked a week stay in Hoover to visit friends & check out the area. This condo was perfect for our needs. Very centrally located & comfortable. It was never far from anything we wanted to check out. The owners went above & behind when we carelessly left some items behind to get it back to us. Totally recommend!!

Midweek Stay for Baseball

The property was very close to The Met in a very nice area of town. We checked in after dark and felt safe while the check-in worked seamlessly. The Condo was clean and well furnished and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay as it was easy and quick to get back and forth to the SEC Baseball Tournament. There were also good restaurants nearby from fast food to steak and seafood.

A home away from home!

Absolutely the cleanest VRBO ive ever stayed in! Everything top to bottom was clean and the rental was well stocked. Bed was comfortable and all the amenities were available. The kitchen, pantry, cabinets etc were all stocked thoughtfully with items you would have at home. I havent got a single complaint and tons of praise! Check in was quick and easy too! I was extremely happy with this VRBO and will definitely be staying here again on my next visit.

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.

My wife and I came for our granddaughter's high school graduation. This home met all of our needs - both comfortable for us and a congenial place for some relatives to come by and visit. Everything is nicely "appointed," couches, dining area, art work, kitchen. Karin was wonderfully responsive to any questions we might have. We recommend the home without reservation.
