We enjoyed a nice weekend with our dog at this cozy home. Its closeness to UAB was so nice. It was so much better than being cooped up in a hotel room. Our dog loved the fenced in yard and we enjoyed that too. We will surely book here again next year during baseball season. Kathleen was very nice to work with and was prompt to provide answers for a couple of questions we had.

All was just as described and worked great for our family of 4. Nice location and nice yard for the kids. Could use a little more in the kitchen but minor detail and didn’t impact us too much.

Overall the property was very welcoming and well furnished. We specifically chose this property because of the fenced yard, however there is no access to the fenced yard from inside the house. This made the fenced yard rather useless to us as we still had to put on shoes and leash our dogs and go out in the pouring rain to allow them to go potty.Between the inconvenience of that and the fact the pet fees and other fees doubled the actual cost to nearly 300/night, it just wasn't worth the value. For that price I would rather find somewhere with a hot tub or other amenities.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hi there!
I’m the owner and operator of a short-term rental business built around one simple goal: making guests feel right at home. I absolutely love what I do — especially designing spaces that are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked for a five-star stay.

When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me spending time with my family, hanging out with my dogs, experimenting in the kitchen, or unwinding with a good video game. I’m all about the little details and genuinely enjoy helping people have the best stay possible.

Travel plays a big part in my life, too — from honeymooning in Iceland, to exploring Mexico, to visiting family in Orlando and Gulf Shores. I know what it feels like to have an amazing stay, and that’s exactly the experience I aim to deliver to every guest.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help and excited to host you!

Why they chose this property

1. Peaceful and centrally-located: The property offers a peaceful environment while being conveniently located, which can be a desirable combination for vacationers looking for relaxation and easy access to nearby attractions.
2. Amenities for everyone: The property seems to have a variety of amenities and activities to keep guests entertained. From a screened-in patio for enjoying morning coffee to a fenced yard for playing with pets, as well as games like corn hole, pool, ping pong, darts, and various card games, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
3. Cozy and entertaining evenings: The property offers opportunities for cozy evenings by the firepit, perfect for relaxation and gathering with friends or family. Additionally, having TVs in every room allows guests to catch up on their favorite Netflix shows, providing entertainment options.

What makes this property unique

1. Privacy: We offer more privacy compared to hotels or resorts, allowing guests to have their own space and enjoy a more intimate and secluded experience.
2. Home-like amenities: You'll love the eclectic styling of this old home! There is an incredibly comfortable queen bed in each of the bedrooms. Plus two queen air mattresses are available upon request. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the basic essential you may need to cook during your stay. We make guests feel at home, such as a washer and dryer, and spacious living areas. This can be advantageous for longer stays or for those who prefer a more independent and self-catering experience.
3. Local immersion: Staying at 6th Street offers a more authentic and immersive experience, allowing guests to live like locals and explore the surrounding neighborhood or community.
4. Flexibility and space: Much more space than hotel rooms, providing additional bedrooms, living areas, and outdoor spaces. This can be particularly beneficial for families or larger groups who desire room to spread out and relax.
5. Location: The house is just a 4-5 minutes southwest of University Blvd. and the UAB campus.
