Birthday Celebration
My brother from Semmes was celebrating his 90th birthday. All his siblings (7 of us came to help him). Four of us stayed at this property. It was only 2.5 miles from my brother. Everything was perfect - one of the cleanest properties I have stayed in. While we spent most of our time at my brother’s, this property filled the bill. The beds were very comfortable. My only suggestion would be to have a few hangars in the closets. Would highly recommend this property.

Responsive Host.
The only issue we have was the heat the first night. The host was very responsive and had a tech at the house the next morning. The issue was fixed and we had no other issues.Things happen out of the hosts control. So we took it in stride. The house was very clean and well maintained.
