Family Time

Mardi Gras Manor was the perfect gathering for our family while in Mobile for the christening of our newest granddaughter. The house was comfortable and allowed everyone their own space as well as large gathering spaces to spend time together. Our grown children have requested that we keep this property on our list for revisiting. Perfect for multi-generational gatherings!

Perfect pre-cruise housing for our family

Our large family (9 in total) planned a summer vacation cruise out of Mobile and wanted to stay in the area a few days prior to setting sail. The Washington Square (Mardis Gras) rental greatly exceeded our expectations! The house had plenty of beds for everyone, a big family room for socializing and games, and a nice kitchen for preparing meals. The location was unbelievable....less than a mile to the port and walking distance to historic downtown. We had great meals/drinks during our stay...the food scene in Mobile is definitely underrated. There is a grocery store and drug store within a block in case you need anything. The communication with the owner was superb before, during, and after our stay. Instructions on everything related to the house was perfect. We give this our highest recommendation and encourage anyone with a group looking for a place to stay prior to cruising to give this serious consideration. It beats a hotel by a mile. Six stars!

Beautiful historic house. Great house for a guys golf trip. Plenty of room for gathering and large spacious bedrooms. Plenty of parking in a well lit secure backyard area. The host and I got our signals crossed on the guest suite, but got that figured out. If you are looking to get the guest suite as well as the main house, be sure to message the host to confirm. Overall, we were really satisfied and will be back next time we golf in the Mobile area.

This place is such a fun experience! The historic home is beautiful and we loved sitting on the front porch swing. The kitchen is well stocked for preparing meals. There is so much space in the rooms (my kids liked trying out all the beds to find the most comfortable one and they liked them all) and it is very well kept by the owner. This place is walking distance to a market if you need groceries. We enjoyed our stay at the Manor!

Hello…Property Manager are you there?

We were excited to visit and stay in the property. That excitement slowly vanished, especially when issues with the property began to emerge. First was the refrigerator leaking and water pooled on a subfloor. Reached out to property manager, but never responded. Second was a power outage and when I reached out to the property manager, he never responded. Third was finding an active AC power junction box in standing water on the ground. And after sending the property manager pictures, the Property Manager remained AWOL. Finally, the area is riddled with homeless and the abandoned home and abandoned store near the property provided refuge to the homeless. It is understood that vintage properties requires a lot to keep up but a simple return of communications is expected when paying 2K.

Holiday Family Wedding & Vacation

The property is lovely - high ceilings, spacious rooms, and great location for our family's needs. The parking is amazing! The house is easy to access and exit. It has the charm and character of a historic home, like the high ceiings and wood floors. It was wonderfully insulated for an older home. The kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking and eating needs. It was a really great property and we loved that we could lock the front gate for security and privacy. Water pressure in the gallery bathroom was great!

Mardi Gras Manor - perfect place to stay in Mobile

Mardi Gras Manor was exactly as depicted on VRBO. Wonderful old home with lots of charm and character. Large rooms, comfortable, a nice mix of old historical features and modern comforts. A nice front porch for relaxing outside as well as plenty of room out back. Great location, easy to walk to downtown and Dauphin Street where there is an abundance of restaurants and bars to enjoy. If you are looking to get some fresh shrimp or other seafood, we highly recommend Mudbugs.

About the host

Hosted by Donnie Manning

Host profile image
I am a local realtor that has lived in Mobile all my life. I bought this house because I like the Historic district and everything that goes with it. Sit on the porch during Mardi Gras and watch the parade go by at the corner. It is so close to so much I like to do. Restaurants, bars, entertainment districts are just a short walk.

Why they chose this property

Historic close to everything Downtown

What makes this property unique

We spend everyday that we are there on the front porch. It has a wonderful swing and plenty of seating under the 100+year old oaks. The Home was built in 1856.
