We look forward to hosting you and hope to provide you, and all of our guests, a five-star experience.

Great Stay for Hoover Baseball Tournament

We had a week-long stay for USA Baseball regional tryouts and a big baseball tournament in Hoover for our oldest son’s summer team. The house was clean, cozy, and it had plenty of room for the five of us to spread out and relax after long days at the baseball fields. It was also equipped with everything we needed, and the basic essentials were well-stocked to give us a good start. We only had to contact the property manager once for a very minor hiccup during checkin, and they were very responsive and helpful. The neighborhood is beautiful, and Helena was simply a charming town. I will certainly check availability here as we will be visiting the area yearly for a few years.

Excellent house, convenient location

The house was perfect for our family of 7 with adult kids. We were in town for a wedding and were just 15 min away from all the venues. We cooked a big breakfast for us and 8 other extended family members and the open concept kitchen/dining/living accommodated us all so comfortably. Our pup had a nice-sized fenced yard to roam which was a plus. The neighborhood is next to a historic park that has paved trails, another plus. I would stay here again and recommend the house to friends.

Solid spot

Very clean house in a great neighborhood, especially for taking walks. There are sidewalks throughout the whole neighborhood and there is a greenway at the opening to the neighborhood with numerous walking/biking/running paths. Close proximity to a couple of restaurants, fast food chains, a Publix and a Walmart. The house was plenty spacious for my family of 4 my parents. The only thing keeping me from going 5 stars was that the keypads for the locks didn’t work and weren’t fixed while we were there, so we had to use a hard key which was a little inconvenient. There were also some small things to nitpick in the house but overall I would recommend the spot and I personally would stay here again.

Great place! Comfortable, clean, nice community, good communication. We were a group of over 65 college friends & enjoyed a great visit. Be aware that parking is limited & most of the bedrooms are upstairs. Overall a very satisfactory experience!

Clean home. Prime location

Overall this house is very clean. Easy to access. Beds were super clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay in town for a baseball tournament at the Hoover met. Which was only 16 minutes away. Plenty of room to spread out. Safe area. Would stay here again.

ULTRA Safe location, wonderful walking trail in neighborhood!

Communication was excellent with the home owner. The quality of the home was excellent. Parking was great 👍 I was just not expecting the neighborhood to be so very nice. It’s really nice to just take a walk down the street… then find a paved walking trail in the woods. We even stopped and talked to some of the neighbors to help them find their dog. Is this the Truman Show? The owners are working with the cleaning crew to help them level up the cleaning. I would stay here again.

Baseball Tournament Trip

Upon arriving after a 12 hour drive we found the house had not been cleaned. I contacted Kristin and she and her mother immediately came to clean the house. After a couple of hours we were able to get settled in after a long day. The house, neighborhood and area were excellent. It was a great location for our baseball tournament schedule as all of the games were held in towns that were within a 30 minute drive. Being from Florida we loved the change of scenery. After a bumpy start to our trip Kristin was very accommodating in making the trip a great time with our grandson. I would definitely use this rental again.
