Great location

My family rented this house while in town for a wedding. It is close to so many great restaurants and bars. It was a large house with ample space. The kitchen is super nice, and there are plenty of spots to sit around and visit with the family.

Nice house. Check in was a challenge

The house was perfect for our needs, from location to the house design. Check in was different from any other house I’ve rented on VRBO, requiring a phone call with the owner, instead of communication through email or text. It was a challenging dynamic to receive important information (like the lockbox code and specific house instructions) verbally. It felt like it would have been less stressful on both parties if communication was more automated.

Perfect Home

We absolutely loved the house and the fenced in backyard. We were in town for a family wedding and this was the perfect alternative to a hotel, especially with children. Plenty of room, pleasant decor and great energy. Will definitely stay here again if we come back to Birmingham!

Southern charm in a great neighborhood, antiques With a relaxed atmosphere. Conveniently located.

This was the perfect house for our family wedding in Birmingham. It was conveniently located to all of our events. This home offered a great place to come back, relax, and gather our immediate family for downtime together. Tastefully decorated. Great kitchen. We would definitely come back.

This is a spacious home for a family and close friends. The living, dining room and kitchen afford space for all to enjoy and relax. The downstairs suite steals the show so if there is a toss up for bedrooms you know now where to head. Enjoy, Allan

Great Quality for the Price

We came in for my brother's wedding and this house was perfect for our stay! There were 9 of us and there was plenty of room. The bathrooms were just enough to help us get ready. The basement was roomy. The owner is very particular, but rightfully so. I've rented out rv's before and people can be rough and tough to deal with. Call him the day before you arrive and follow his instructions and you will have a good stay. Did not have one issue whatsoever.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

We rented this property to give my Grandmother a Birthday Getaway. The owner, Walton, was extremely helpful during the entire stay. He was thoughtful enough to provide my Grandmother with a wonderful birthday gift. His hospitality was A+. We did not see any rodents, bugs or feces during our stay. Walton provided A1 service and we are definitely coming back. This property is located in a great neighborhood. Book this property, you will not be disappointed!!

Beautiful Home in Perfect location

This beautiful home was perfect for our family in town attending our sons wedding. The house was so spacious and allowed us to spend quality family time together..so much better than being separated in a hotel! The location was close to everything and is in a nice quiet neighborhood. We hosted a dinner party the night before the wedding and everyone in attendance was so impressed with the beautiful furnishings and fascinating artwork on display. The large subzero fridge and gas range was definitely a plus. This was my 1st experience with Home Away and I thought it was a GREAT option. Thank you Mr. Brown for sharing your home.

Perfect Gathering Place

We all had a wonderful time meeting up with friends and family here. The two-story design enabled each family to have its own space. The backyard sitting area was small but there were plenty of chairs and lots of lovely birds and chipmunks. Nice wide refrigerator and the gas stove was a plus! It is located in a quiet neighborhood but is only minutes away from stores and restaurants. The only thing that it did not have that would have been nice was screens on the bathroom windows so they could be opened when needed . . . Otherwise this was a really great house, especially for the price!

Great location, but some inconveniences

This property was in a great location to downtown and a safe area. The house is actually much more spacious than the posting shows with a great outdoor area. However, there were a few inconveniences. At least two of the shower drains were very backed up. We were standing in a puddle about 30 seconds into the shower. There were make up stains on at least two of the towels and no soap bars were provided as previously stated. The dining chairs are not very functional as the cushions are pressed down from a lot of use.

Ideal for Big Families

Our family has rented this house every year for a decade to spend time with our immediate and extended family over the Thanksgiving holiday. Not only is it always clean, comfortable, and stylish, it is extremely functional. Because of the home's layout, there are spaces for big group hang-outs, smaller nooks for intimate conversations, and outdoor areas to play and dine. The kitchen is spacious (and well-equipped) enough to accommodate many cooks, all of which gather here to cook and clean for our big Thanksgiving meal. There's never any fighting over the best bedroom: All have features that work for families with babies, young children, and middle-schoolers. Added to all of those perks, the home's location in the heart of Birmingham is perfect for accessing parks, shopping, and great restaurants. After Thanksgiving day is over, we all feel like our luxurious Birmingham getaway has begun. Looking forward to another decade!
