Mins from Historic Downtown - Pretty Peach Palace
Summary: This fully renovated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom historic mansion is situated on Michael Donald in the Old Dauphin Way Historic District, just minutes from downtown and entertainment. Designed for your comfort, our home offers all the practical amenities for a convenient stay in Mobile. With two master bedrooms, it's ideal for families, business professionals, or anyone seeking a cozy, genuine atmosphere. We provide both professional photos and real-time images from our cleaning team to ensure transparency. We would love to host you!
The Space: This is a fully remodeled historic home in Mobile, AL. There are two bedroom upstairs, and two bedrooms downstairs, so it's perfect for two families traveling together, or large families. Upstairs is a King bedroom with en-suite full bathroom, a bedroom with two queen beds and a bathroom with shower. Downstairs is another king bedroom with a futon, a back bedroom with two queen beds, and another full shower bathroom, with a half bath. There is also a sleeper sofa in the living room.
We do allow pets, but ask that you please keep them crated when they're not in the house, and keep them off of the furniture. We have two large dogs, so we completely understand the challenges of traveling with pets (and kids!). Because of the unforeseen necessary cleanup involved with pets, we do require host notification and a fee of $50 per pet.
This is a historic residential area. We love our neighbors, so we please ask that you respect the neighborhood by having quiet hours after 10PM. Our home has a strict "no parties" rule, so if you'd like to host a party, please find another host willing to accommodate your party or event.

Dance Convention
We came down for dance convention. The house was good, but we had some concerns with the back bedroom and the side door. The back bedroom floor was cracked and gave in one spot when you walked on it. It felt very unstable. We did not allow any of our girls to stay in this room for fear of it braking and them falling through. We also had some concerns with the side door as the doorknob was very loose, to the point we were afraid it would fall off.

Wedding
We came for a wedding. The property was comfortable. It was clean and well stocked with all the necessary amenities. It was advertised to be somewhat nicer than it was. The neighborhood appears to be in the process of rehabilitating, but is somewhat uncomfortable. Had several local people warn us to be cautious. Overall the stay was pleasant.

Enjoyed Mobile and Mardi Gras
We booked this location with great anticipation of enjoying Mobile’s Mardi Gras. The weather was colder and wet than we had expected. The house was warm and inviting. The neighborhood is on an upswing on adjacent streets. Urban renewal is making a comeback for old beautiful homes like this one. Overall the house and the entry and staircase helped us remember a house we lived in growing up. It helped us enjoy our stay even more than we expected. We had a great time. Thank you.

Dance competition
It was a very nice historic home. It was large enough for our group and with plenty of bathrooms for us all. The lower bathroom was a bit chilly, the shower felt crowded with the curtains coming in close and the door handle fell out a couple times, locking in the user if the chain was on the outside of the other door.

Celebration of life
We had a celebration of life for a departed family member at a local church. Our group of thirteen consisted of spouses, children, grandchildren and puppies. It was wonderful to have everyone stay in one place. We would stay at the house again.

Beautiful house
House and neighborhood are charming
There is an abandoned house behind this one which is where I’m guessing some of the safety concerns from other reviewers come from but not in the least the property owners fault
The house could use a little toc, cleaning up leaves, filling in cracks from settling
But really for the price and the location it was awesome
We will be returning
Communication was phenomenal as well
Bring dish towels as there weren’t any but all other basics were provided

**** beware****
Do not waste your money! This home is in a terrible neighborhood and does not have a safe/secure surrounding. Upon arrival neighbors were screaming at each other. Upon entering the home we found a pair of bloody tweezers laying on the living floor. Entered the bedrooms, found the beds looked like they had been slept in. Also the smell of mold / mildew was very strong. Informed the host about the findings and requested a refund. We were not and did not stay there. The host informed us that we could dispose of the tweezers, because she would not call the cleaners back out. She did offer to reimburse us half the cleaning cost, finally she reimbursed us the full cleaning cost only. Hopefully our review and bad experience will help another family , not make the same mistake we did.

Very spacious and clean
If you have a large group this house has plenty of room. The neighborhood is not ideal if safety is a priority. Several times we noticed people walking by our cars and looking through the windows. There are a few abandoned houses on the street and also behind the house ( we suspect that’s where the homeless were sleeping). 3 1/2 bathrooms were very convenient although both bathrooms upstairs struggled to flush. Plenty of dishes and towels were available. Overall the house is descent but the neighborhood is definitely not the safest of areas

Never checked in
We reserved this home for 3 adults and our 4 animals as evacuees for Hurricane Ida. When we arrived, we knocked on the door because there were two cars in the driveway. While we were waiting, a truck pulled out of the driveway, with no word and blacked out windows, and another car remained. With no answer, we attempted to enter the premises and we could not open the front door. We called and they said they would send someone out. However, with the hot temperatures in September and 4 animals, we had no choice but to leave and drive back to New Orleans. The neighborhood was not as I expected. We explained to the agency what happened and apparently, the door sometimes sticks with high moisture content in the air. Would have been a great time to let us know while we were there. They returned some of our money with bookings but we still paid a good bit not to stay somewhere I would not recommend staying.
