‘Simply' Wonderful

Property exactly as listed. Easy to find and enter. Immaculately clean inside—decor, furnishings, and amenities all very simple—which made for a simply wonderful stay. We had everything we needed for a comfortable and restful weekend stay. Paint looked relatively new as did the window treatments. Beds were comfortable; appliances, alarm system, HVAC system all very easy to operate. Property contact responded immediately when a small issue arose and had the problem rectified in less than 15 minutes. We plan on using this property again next year when we return for our annual basketball weekend tournament in Hoover. Thanks for a great stay!

Cute House

We loved the house and it was spotlessly clean. Great location to go to the stadium or Talladega, which was our purpose for visiting. The traffic on the street tends to drive very fast and there are lots of barking dogs around. Neither had a negative impact on us though.
