Our stay was fantastic! We enjoyed our time here so much! The property was clean, quaint, and cozy! Our hosts were phenomenal and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Wonderful communication!
Beautiful house! We had everything we needed. Had a bit of trouble with the TVs (get those remotes working!) and with the cold snap, we wished there were extra blankets. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we hope to be back in warmer weather!

Glenda was a great guest! Communication was seamless and they left the house in perfect condition. Would love to have her party back anytime :)
This is the second time we've stayed at this property, which is perfect and in a great location, and the first with this host. Katie was great at communicating and we had no major issues at all. We hope to be back.

About the host
Hosted by Katie Moore
I have a passion for hosting and take great joy in creating warm, inviting spaces where guests can truly feel at home. My husband and I are blessed with six children, and through our busy lives filled with travel sports and activities, we’ve had plenty of opportunities to experience what makes a stay truly comfortable. Our travel adventures have given us a deep understanding of the little details that help guests feel relaxed, cared for, and right at home!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property the moment we saw its timeless historic charm and the stunning live oak trees lining the street! Located in the heart of the Oakleigh Historic Garden District, and just 1 block from Washington Square Park, this home (built in 1899) is surrounded by the beauty of Mobile’s most iconic historic homes, majestic live oaks, and a warm, welcoming community. Here, you’ll often find neighbors strolling to nearby restaurants, parks, and museums, enjoying the unique character and vibrancy that make this neighborhood so special.
What makes this property unique
This home, built in 1899, truly embodies timeless beauty and charm. The soaring 12-foot ceilings, the inviting historic front porch, and the original wood floors that grace much of the downstairs are what first stole our hearts. We’re confident you’ll love experiencing the unique historic character of this property just as much as we do!
Beyond its charm, the location is unbeatable—perfectly central to everything Mobile has to offer. And, as a bonus, you’re just a short walk from the excitement of the Mardi Gras parade route! We hope George will capture your heart just like it did ours.
