Spent three days moving an Ole Miss student and were delighted to have coffee on the porch of this lovely property every morning and relieved to return every evening. Perfect home in perfect quiet location steps off the square.

Oxford Perfection

We spent three nights at 'Fifth Quarter' for our daughter's move into the dorm (freshman), rush kickoff for her and just some downtime in Oxford. We wanted a special place for our time together and this was it--an absolute gem. I should start with our host Diane. She was extremely helpful and welcoming (right down to the bottle of wine) and helped us with a special accommodation. I've got to say, the photos online don't do the house justice. The renovations that were completed are very high quality and the decorating absolutely beautiful. We're world travelers and my wife asked that I be sure to let Diane know, this was the 'nicest-ever' house we've stayed in. A wonderful weekend for our family--and I highly recommend this property!

Great stay in Oxford

We were in town for a wedding. We stay in may rental units and we own one as well. This house was SO WELCOMING with little personal touches. It is a beautiful, comfortable home that was even better than the pictures shown on VRBO. An AMAZING location. We enjoyed walking to the square to great restaurants and shopping. Very clean home. We would stay here again and highly recommend it.

Our Best VRBO Stay

While we have enjoyed all of our past VRBO rentals, this home exceeded all expectations. The hosts were very professional and responsive, the home was immaculate, and was walking distance to one the nicest small towns in the South. Although we didn’t have Oxford on our bucket list of vacation destinations, we would strongly encourage a long weekend to visit.

Close Proximity to Square and Campus

If you want to be able to park your car and walk to the Square or Campus your entire trip, then this is the location. The house was a short walk to the Square and made shopping and dinning easy. My family was able to walk to the Grove for Gameday in about 20 minutes. The patio and screened in porch was amazing in the morning and evenings. Check in was a breeze and the owners even let us in 4 hours early on arrival. We will definitely be back
