The patio is furnished, and there’s an outdoor grill (charcoal) plus a chiminea (wood not provided) for evening hangouts. Comfort and convenience basics include central A/C and heating, washer and dryer, iron/ironing board, cable TV, and complimentary toiletries.
Kitchen & In-Home Dining
The kitchen is equipped for full meals with a stove/oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and cooking basics, plus a blender and toaster. Coffee options include both a drip coffee maker and a Keurig. Nearby dining includes The Seafood House (~632 m), Oasis Bar & Grill (~1.1 km), and Briquettes Steakhouse (~1.8 km).
Location & Nearby Attractions
The home sits within reach of major Mobile sights and activities: Topgolf (2 miles), Spring Hill College (4 miles), University of South Alabama (5 miles), Saenger Theatre Mobile (7 miles), Exploreum Science Center & Digital Dome Theater (7 miles), and USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park (11 miles). Outdoor options span from local parks like Lake Drive Tricentennial Park (5 miles) and Municipal (Langan) Park (7 miles) to day trips such as Fairhope Beach & Pier (25 miles).

Best for
This rental best suits families and small groups who want multiple bedrooms, a full kitchen, and at-home hangout space like a game room, fenced backyard, and patio with a charcoal grill. It also works well for travelers who plan to explore Mobile’s museums, downtown, and attractions while staying outside the core—Downtown Mobile is about 6 miles away. Guests who require all sleeping spaces on one level may find the upstairs-only bedroom layout limiting.
Travel tips
Plan for driving: parking is in the driveway for up to 3 vehicles, and the garage is not available. If you want transit options, nearby bus stops include Azalea NB off Cottagehill Rd (~614 m) and Pleasant Valley SB at Cottagehill Circle (~1.21 km). Bring what you need for the chiminea and grill—wood is not provided for the chiminea, and the grill is charcoal.
