We were in town for the Mardi Gras parades and this was a perfect place to stay for the weekend. The location is very close to the Daphne parade route and just a quick drive to Fairhope and Mobile. The house was nice with comfortable beds and we loved that the kids each had their own bedroom.
Wonderful stay. Peaceful neighborhood. Lovely house - nicely decorated. Extremely clean and well-stocked. Heater worked well. All beds very comfortable! Nice deck and porch. As described. No issues. Cristina was very nice and highly responsive. Thank you, Cristina, for allowing us to stay at your home to make wonderful memories!
Staying here felt like we were really at home! It was clean and in a wonderful neighborhood. We will definitely be back! Thank you for allowing us to stay here!
What a great home in Daphne! I grew up in Daphne and visit yearly to see my parents. This was my first time we stayed in a vrbo home in the area and it was the best decision. The home was clean, very well stocked and just felt cozy and warm! It is so close to everything. Plenty of food options within 5-10 minutes. Plenty of shopping within 5-10 minutes. Daphne has grown so much over the years and there is every major store and/or restaurant within minutes as well as local places you can’t find anywhere else! Check in was easy and simple and we had everything we needed. We will always stay here when visiting!
The house felt like home away from home. It was very well stocked with anything we might need. Our stay checked all the boxes… quiet, clean, comfortable, great shower, good location, and gracious host. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
Very spacious - there were 7 of us and we had plenty of room so people could do what they wanted. The kitchen was large enough for a couple of people to get in there to prepare group meals. Nice grill on the back patio, which we definitely took advantage of! Plenty of beach towels for pool or beach. And there were beach chairs, pails, and an umbrella available for a day trip to the gulf.

Lake Forest ….a nice community
Lake Forest is a large community near Daphne,Al that almost has it all(no beach) 😂 However it has a golf course,horse riding stables,a number of community pools and a busy community center. Lots to see and do. We were able to rent a nice 3 bedroom , 2 bath home in the community. There were a couple of minor issues that have been addressed with the owner,but overall,a great base of operations for someone want to experience the Gulf Coast.
Home is perfect location in a quiet older neighborhood with lots of families and all well kept. House equipped with everything we needed, fully functional kitchen/bath, comfy beds, and easy in/out. Host very accommodating. Only suggestion would be fans in upstairs bedrooms as it does get warm up there, but otherwise everything was perfect, just like we were in our own home!
The property is located in a very nice and safe neighborhood near Mobile. Clean and well appointed, it should nicely meet the needs of a family or a small group of friends. The owner was great when it came to communicating with us. Our group all would recommend this property is it worked out great for us. It was nice and central to Mobile and the Gulf Shore golf courses we played. Thanks to our host.
Donna’s Charm was very clean, spacious and in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. The listing was accurate. All the linens and towels appeared new. We were in town for a family event and it fully met our needs. We did not use the community pool or golf. Donna’s house instructions were very clear. Very pleased.
Walking in seeing the scripture on the walls, I felt like this was going to be the perfect little place. And it was! I loved the quiet, peaceful home feel it had. Would recommend this house to anyone. If I come this way again, I am going to be looking for this same place! It’s beautiful and the owner is prompt and friendly when she gets back to you. We are thankful we had the opportunity to stay here. 💛
We loved the neighborhood very much, never made it to the pool and that was ok.
We had some issues but not important to us.
1. Water dispenser on fridge door was not working properly.
2. Bedroom upstairs to left of stairs has water damage at ceiling AC vent.
3. Upstairs bathroom in tub/shower, the fixture is not stable in the wall, so you need to be carful turning on and off.
4. The grill outback was so rusty we did not fill safe using.
The location to the wedding as well as restaurants was great. All and all it was very nice and we enjoyed the time we had.
This sweet little house was the perfect size for my party of five. There were multiple lovely upgrades including the most darling kitchen, tiles and flooring throughout the main floor and obviously new furniture. It was December and rainy so we really couldn’t use the deck but I could see how that would be fun during the summer months. A note that I wish had been included in the listing: there is no dishwasher which was an issue for our family. And the HVAC condenser outside the primary bed window was extremely loud. I also questioned whether this was someone’s primary residence as the primary bathroom drawers were full of personal items and there were clothing items in the closet. (Perfectly fine if that was the case but wish it had been disclosed if so. 🥰) Overall it was a quaint, cute place to stay and be near my family in AL. Thank you for your hospitality!
