The space was just as pictured. We stayed for 4 nights and were very comfortable. It’s the perfect size for a couple with 1.5 bathrooms and a good sized bedroom and living room. The actual complex that the condo is in was very quiet. No loud traffic or parties or disturbances of any kind. There were sidewalks bordering grassy areas for walking our dog. Locally, we visited a few state parks and preserves for hiking and outdoor activity. Definitely check out the Birmingham Botanical Gardens for a beautiful afternoon. The complex is located just a few minutes from main highways and the interstate, so getting around the area was very easy.

Cons: Condo community name and building name need to be provided.Checked in late because code didn't work. Water main broke so was without water for a while during a couple of days. Nobody's fault. Just happened.Had to reset TV to get it to work. All minor issues.Pros:Karin work hard to rectify the issues and even let me check out a little late because of the late check-in.Very quiet place. Very clean. Had all of the utensils and extra appliances you would need including a few extra surprises.

This condominium is just as described.The bed and pillows were perfect. There are an assortment of pillows so you are sure to find one that’s just right. I DID My son and I stayed (with a pet). There are two options for an extra bed: a very comfortable couch or a roll away bed. The kitchen had all we needed and more. Meals were mostly eaten out because there are so many great restaurants within ten to twenty minutes. The location is close to the interstate but nestled in a wooded community that is very quiet.I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely the cleanest VRBO ive ever stayed in! Everything top to bottom was clean and the rental was well stocked. Bed was comfortable and all the amenities were available. The kitchen, pantry, cabinets etc were all stocked thoughtfully with items you would have at home. I havent got a single complaint and tons of praise! Check in was quick and easy too! I was extremely happy with this VRBO and will definitely be staying here again on my next visit.

Wonderful stay in Hoover!

We booked a week stay in Hoover to visit friends & check out the area. This condo was perfect for our needs. Very centrally located & comfortable. It was never far from anything we wanted to check out. The owners went above & behind when we carelessly left some items behind to get it back to us. Totally recommend!!

Midweek Stay for Baseball

The property was very close to The Met in a very nice area of town. We checked in after dark and felt safe while the check-in worked seamlessly. The Condo was clean and well furnished and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay as it was easy and quick to get back and forth to the SEC Baseball Tournament. There were also good restaurants nearby from fast food to steak and seafood.

My wife and I came for our granddaughter's high school graduation. This home met all of our needs - both comfortable for us and a congenial place for some relatives to come by and visit. Everything is nicely "appointed," couches, dining area, art work, kitchen. Karin was wonderfully responsive to any questions we might have. We recommend the home without reservation.

Golf Getaway

Cozy residence with very thoughtful amenities. Quiet, safe and secure property in a lovely rural setting close to many upscale restaurants and close to a very nice state park.
