Southern Tides Retreat

Escape to a southern coastal paradise without leaving Birmingham in our beach-themed home. A serene retreat not far from the vibrant Five Points South neighborhood. Your family will be within walking distance to UAB hospital and plenty of restaurants at this centrally-located retreat. Gather together with those you love around the pool and backyard fire pit! Are you traveling with your pet? We love our pets and welcome yours, too.

The Space:
Welcome to our historic gem in the heart of Birmingham, Alabama, where the echoes of the past meet the comforts of the present. Built in 1914, our carefully preserved home offers a unique glimpse into the charm and character of a bygone era.

As you step through the front door, you'll be greeted by the warmth of history and the inviting embrace of a well-maintained living space. This time-honored residence boasts 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, an office space, and a game room, each carefully designed to harmonize with the vintage aesthetic while offering modern conveniences. The master bedroom, a retreat upstairs, features its own fireplace, adding a touch of elegance and warmth.

Our home is more than just a space; it's a haven for both work and play. The dedicated office space provides a quiet sanctuary for productivity, while the game room invites leisure and entertainment. Sink into the small couch or bean bag chairs, indulge in gaming adventures with the Nintendo Switch, or choose from an array of board games for lively gatherings.

The dining experience is an affair to remember in our abode. Gather around the large 8-person formal dining room table for festive meals and celebrations. For more intimate gatherings, the kitchen boasts a 4-seated table, perfect for cozy breakfasts or casual conversations.

Venture into the backyard, where a private oasis awaits. A refreshing pool beckons on warm Alabama days, surrounded by outdoor seating for dining and lounging. As the sun sets, the fire pit becomes a focal point for storytelling and stargazing, creating the perfect ambiance for a relaxing evening.

Our historic home is not just a place to stay; it's a living testament to the rich history of Birmingham. Whether you're here for business, pleasure, or a bit of both, our space invites you to immerse yourself in the charm of a bygone era while enjoying the modern amenities that make your stay memorable. Book your stay and experience the magic of our historic Birmingham retreat.

Great Stay!
We had a great time in Birmingham. The home was very accommodating, from plenty of towels to a kitchen ready to make meals! A nice surprise was the close proximity to parks for the children and access to lots of shopping. Highly recommend!
