CoreyRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Theresa is an amazing host who truly cares about your experience at her Airbnb, she is very kind and is to communicate with. Very quick to respond to any question and gives great advice on the local area. She takes pride in her listings and it shows the moment you walk in the door. I highly recommend her listings, she will be glad to work with you to ensure a fantastic time at one of her places. She even thinks of my kids and always includes a little basket of treats/surprises.

Special Beachside Condo Amazing view w/heated pool

LaurenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The place was great. Our family had a nice time. Everything we needed was there and the complex as a whole was good. It’s an older complex and you can see that in the pool area and outside but the unit inside was in great shape and it was a great value and the beach is incredible. It was just what we needed. Thank you!

3 Min Walk 2 Beach | Private Pool | Beach | Bars

LawandaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My family was traveling from separate states to meet up for Christmas. Nicholas was friendly and responsive from start to finish. The space was beautiful, cozy, and felt like home. The openness of the space allowed us to be together even from the kitchen. But, the bedrooms were a quiet retreat that brought it all together. The weather and short stay didn’t allow us to get in the pool - next time. Beach access was quick and easy. Ample parking and space. We enjoyed our time and would definitely stay again.

Charming Bayfront Getaway - Private Pier

SharonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The reviews were spot-on -- this cottage was adorable, quiet, peaceful and very relaxing! Just a short ride to Fairhope, where the town was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Day trip to Gulf Shores was both a lovely scenic ride as well as easy beach access. Excellent restaurant choices in both locations. We brought lounge chairs to relax comfortably on the beach, as well as on the covered deck of the pier at the cottage, enjoying nature and the peace & quiet this time of year.

Cristina was very attentive and accommodating. The cabin was beautiful and noticeably clean. We had to extend our stay due to weather and road closures, and she was genuinely kind and helpful. We look forward to visiting in the summer when we can enjoy all the extra amenities.

AlexisRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We enjoyed our stay. The water and snacks were a nice and welcoming surprise. It was almost like being at home and that's saying a lot because we're a big family. We weren't missing much to meet our needs and to keep to our usual routines. I especially appreciated the amount of towels available and the additional supplies, in general. We didn't use the laundry facilities but it was nice to know that was available if we needed it. I also loved that we could sign into the SMART TVs and watch our usual shows. Thank you for hosting my family and for providing a warm home away from home.

Mindy is a great host with responsive and clear communication. The house was clean and as described in the listing. We had fun fishing (no bites, though). There were some plumbing issues (Mindy did warn us ahead of time) that became minor hastles. Otherwise, a serene stay.

Your guide to Alabama

All About Alabama

Known for its beautiful state parks, green rolling hills, and pristine coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, Alabama is a popular southern destination thanks to its diverse geographic features, historically and culturally-rich cities, and warm climate.

Outdoor adventure can be found on Lookout Mountain in the northeast with its adventure parks and zipline courses, in the sprawling Talladega National Forest’s rivers and hiking trails throughout the center of the state, and all around the placid waters of Lake Martin where you’ll find plenty of opportunities to get out on a boat.

These rural pockets of Alabama are iconic and beloved, and the state’s metropolitan centers have plenty to offer too. In many of Alabama’s cities you’ll find thriving blues and rock scenes, and a diverse array of restaurants both redefining Southern cuisine and carrying on with tradition. The capital city of Montgomery has the Civil Rights Memorial Center honoring the birthplace of the civil rights movement. The college towns of Auburn and Tuscaloosa display a strong devotion to football. Music lovers will want to check out the famous recording studios in Muscle Shoals, and the historic port city of Mobile displays French influences.

This largely agricultural state is also an excellent destination for food lovers, offering plenty of barbecue joints, Cajun cafes, farm stalls, boiled peanut stands, and opportunities to settle down at a meat ‘n’ three.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Alabama

The climate in Alabama ranges from temperate in the northern parts of the state to a bit more subtropical in the southern counties closer to the Gulf. You’re likely to encounter warm temperatures from fall to spring and hot days throughout the summer, with sky-high humidity levels. Tornadoes are fairly common throughout the state during the spring, and the severe storm season stretches from March through May, so be sure to heed any tornado warnings or sirens. The summer months are scorching, leading most locals to take refuge in the nearest body of water, and hurricanes can occur between August and November. Winters are mild with a couple of seasonal freezes. Along the Gulf, Mobile’s Mardi Gras celebrations throughout February are filled with parades, live music, and costume balls.


Top things to do in Alabama

Birmingham

Many mid-sized cities in the south have been garnering much-deserved recognition for their passionate locals and welcoming vibes, and the Magic City is no exception. Downtown, you’ll find the impressive Birmingham Museum of Art with more than 27,000 works, the Civil Rights Institute, and upscale clothing boutiques. The city’s thriving food scene is definitely worth exploring: There’s plenty of hearty southern favorites like fried chicken and biscuits being served up, but there are also James Beard award-winning French bistros or Latin American small plates cooked over live fire if you’re partial to fine dining. In the trendy Avondale neighborhood, you’ll find vintage shops, younger crowds sipping craft beers, and plentiful live music.

Gulf Shores

The sugar sand beaches along Alabama’s Gulf Coast and the neighboring city of Orange Beach are a quieter alternative to the lively destinations in the Florida panhandle. Here you’ll find plenty of seafood restaurants serving up Gulf shrimp and oysters, as well as gift shops, boat rentals, beachside bars, and entertainment options like the annual music festival that happens here in May. A few minutes from the center of town, you’ll find two miles of protected beaches at Gulf State Park along with hiking trails, a huge fishing pier, and picnic areas where you can soak in the scenery.

Lake Martin

Man-made lakes are plentiful in southern states, and Alabama’s Lake Martin is one of the largest in the world. More than 150 feet deep in some areas, visitors come for water skiing, swimming, boating, and fishing; to hike the nearby nature trails; or to simply relax in the lakefront cabins. There are almost 900 miles of shoreline here, and you can choose to stay near Alexander City for easy access to shops and restaurants, or head further afield for a secluded natural retreat.
