Great experience staying here. The house was SO clean! Easy 5-10 minute drive to my conference downtown, plus a great place for my mom and dog to hang out when I was in sessions.Hosts notified me in advance of issue with the AC and offered me some options for resolution before we even arrived. Very communicative, friendly, and proactive. We would definitely stay here (or at any of the hosts’ other properties) again!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for being such incredibly understanding guests! We were so glad to welcome you, your mom, and your pup for the conference. When the AC threw us a curveball on your arrival day, our absolute priority was making sure you felt supported and informed every step of the way. We are so glad our proactive options kept you comfortable, and that our team could get a brand-new system fully installed and cooling perfectly by the very next day. Cleanliness, comfort, and communication are everything to us, and knowing we hit the mark for your family means the world. You were fantastic guests, and we would absolutely love to host you all again or any of our properties anytime! Warmly, Colin & Sandi Bama Belle Home"

This is the first time we’ve stayed here and it was great. It is a great location and is convenient to everything in Mobile and very easy to go to Spanish Fort and Daphne etc. The house was well maintained and very comfortable for our family of five. AC felt really nice and cool and the beds slept great too. The host always were wonderful with great communication! The living room was comfortable and we came back from a day out and enjoyed a movie on the streaming tv. Would definitely highly recommend!

"Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your family of five had such a comfortable and relaxing stay. It’s great to know the AC kept everyone cool, the beds provided a great night's sleep, and that you enjoyed winding down with a movie after your days out. We love our location for exactly that reason—it makes exploring everything Mobile has to offer so convenient, while still offering easy access to Daphne and Spanish Fort just across the bay. Providing a 5-star experience and clear communication is always our top priority, and your kind words mean the world to us. You all were fantastic guests, and we would love to welcome you and your family back to a Bama Belle Home the next time your travels bring you to the area!" Colin and Sandi

Beautifully restored historic home. Clean well furnished attractive in GREAT location near downtown attractions and easy access to interstate s.Cons: floors were uneven; no door in rear bath; could have used better lighting ie lamps.Best for adults although the 9 year old with us gave it 4 stars.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr 2026
"Thank you so much for the kind words about our restoration! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the downtown location and the historic charm. Regarding the original floors, they certainly tell the story of a home built in 1908! We appreciate the feedback on the lighting and the rear bath door—we are already looking into stylish solutions that respect the home's heritage. A special thanks to your 9-year-old for the 4-star approval; we’ll keep working hard to earn that 5th star from the experts next time!"

I really enjoyed my stay here. Had everything I needed for a trip to mobile for Mardi Gras. Close to the downtown but also quiet at night time. The bedrooms were cozy, with plenty of room. The house was beautiful and I love the historic bones of the house. Large backyard. Walking in to the house with a hand written note and complimentary treats was the cherry on top. I just wish my stay here was longer, would recommend for anyone visiting this area!

So many wonderful things to list about this home and host. The house was lovely and so well appointed. We asked the host if the house had one random thing that was very specific to our needs. It didn’t have it so the kind host went and bought it for us. Not many who would do that. We so appreciated it. Loved the fenced in back yard for our puppies, beautiful decor, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. We would stay there again without question. Highly recommend this property! Very convenient to Downtown as well and a beautiful walkable neighborhood! Parking on the side of the house was also very helpful. No question that this is an exceptional property!

This was a wonderful house, just as described and depicted. It is nicely decorated, cozy and yet large enough to offer space. Our dog loved the fenced in back yard. The host was responsive and had clearly thought of everything, up to dog treats, kitchen amenities, maps and more. The location couldn't be better. Mobile has lovely historic neighborhoods and this house is in the middle of one of them. We had many wonderful walks, just looking at homes. It takes about 20 minutes to walk downtown (one direction) or to other amenities (Walgrens, Aldi) in the other direction. Parking next to the house was an additional benefit. I recommend this place as highly as possible!
