Overview

Its bold red door, dark gray board-and-batten exterior, hand-built cedar shutters, and metal roof create a distinctive historic character before you step inside. Guests have self-check-in via smart lock entry, with an active ADT security system on site.

The unit sleeps up to four guests across two themed bedrooms. The “Boho” room features a queen bed with a cane headboard, a charcoal accent wall, and warm tones, while the “Coastal” room includes a king bed, blackout curtains, a wall-mounted smart TV, and a working vinyl record player. The renovated bathroom is finished with hexagon tile, subway-tile walls, a pedestal sink, and a walk-in shower.

Amenities & House Rules
Key amenities include free Wi‑Fi, cable TV, air conditioning and heating, free private driveway parking, and a patio/deck area. The home is smoke-free indoors (deck smoking is permitted), with quiet hours after 10 PM and no parties in a quiet residential setting. Pets are considered case-by-case—guests are asked to request approval before booking; the private garage is not available for guest use.
Location & Getting Around
The loft is steps from Dauphin Street’s restaurants, coffee shops, and live music, with Cathedral Square, the Saenger Theatre, and the Mardi Gras parade route within a short walk. Downtown and the waterfront are about a five-minute drive. Mobile International Airport is approximately 4.1 miles away, and weekday mornings may include brief sounds from a preschool across the street at a historic church.
Best for
This stay suits couples, friends, or small families who want a design-forward, boutique feel with the convenience of a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and free driveway parking. It’s also ideal for travelers who prioritize walkable access to Dauphin Street dining and nightlife, plus easy proximity to downtown and the parade route for Mardi Gras season. Guests looking for a quiet, no-party residential setting will appreciate the house rules and neighborhood tone.
Travel tips
Plan to walk for Dauphin Street, Cathedral Square, and the Saenger Theatre, then use a car for the waterfront and downtown (about a five-minute drive). If you’re traveling for late January or February, book well ahead for Mardi Gras dates due to high demand near the parade route. Note that the garage is reserved for the owner, but private driveway parking is included.
