The Neighborhood:
We are excited to be hosting you at our home located on Dog River Ct in Mobile AL. This area was hit hard in the last hurricane. Our community on the water has fully rebuilt and is vibrant again. Unfortunately the inland area between the interstate and the water has not been rebuilt. Many of the structures were condemned, others have been torn down. This inland corridor from the interstate to the water looks rough, but it is not a safety concern as it is largely abandoned. It's just unsightly. Driving to the home, you may question why you booked the house. Once you arrive in our actual neighborhood, though, you will love it. We hope you will stay, but want to allow you to cancel now and receive a refund if you choose to do so. Of course, if you have other questions, feel free to ask.

Getting Around:
Parking is available at the home, driving is recommended due to the residential area of this home, but Uber and Lyft are also available.

Other Things to Note:
We require a signed rental agreement and for guest to be 25 years of age to book.

If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.

This home has a fenced yard, making lake living enjoyable for kids and pets alike! There is a grill along with a four seater patio table and fire pit for guests to enjoy the outside.

We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee. If there is evidence of pet hair on the furniture, excess hair in the home, stains, or waste found in the yard or home, you will be charged the cost to clean this. In the event that a security deposit is collected, we will retain all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with additional cleaning due to pets.

Interaction with Guests:
We want to provide our guests with maximum privacy and flexibility, so we have check-in and check-out automated. We will call and touch base on the phone, and we can always have someone come and help if you need it, but otherwise, we will leave you and your friends and family to spend time together.

The location of the home was just not somewhere my family felt comfortable staying. We had hoped to make an extra trip to Mobile to check it out before our vacation, but just did not have time. The home was clean and the lay out was appropriate for the 7 of us traveling. I recommend you do good research on the location before booking this home to make sure you would feel safe here to keep you from losing the entire cost of the stay. The contract clearly stated if we did not cancel prior to arrival there would be no refund.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear the home was clean and that the layout worked well for your group. This property is located in one of Mobile’s historic neighborhoods, which reflects the character and diversity typical of older areas near downtown. Many guests choose this location specifically for its proximity to the highway, local attractions and historic charm. We always encourage guests to review the listing details, map location, and neighborhood information prior to booking to ensure the home is the right fit for their stay. Our cancellation policy is also clearly outlined before arrival.

Family time

The house itself was nice. They had everything needed for a family to enjoy a weekend together. I was disappointed that the dock couldn't be used and I wasn't notified ahead of time. The grass needed to be cut out front. The neighborhood is oyt of the owners control but we weren't bothered. Overall it was a good stay. My family and i enjoyed out time together!

We’re glad to hear you and your family enjoyed your time together and found the house well-equipped for your stay, Latasha. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the dock being unavailable and that you weren’t notified in advance—that’s something we’ll work to improve going forward. We also appreciate your understanding about the neighborhood and the front yard maintenance, which are outside of our direct control. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to host you again in the future!

Untruthful Listing

This listing is not anything like it was portrayed in the pictures on VRBO. This property is located in a neighborhood that was very run down and unsafe. There were two homes nearby that had Beware of Dog signs on them. This is a listing that should have never been allowed to be listed on VRBO as a vacation property. We did not feel safe at all in this home. It was run down. The photos on VRBO weren't accurate of the property. The dishwasher was broken. The floors were dirty. The carpet in the bedrooms was unravelling. The outside of the home was very run down as well. Beware this is not an accurate portrayal of a vacation property.

Spacious house in a sketchy neighborhood

The good: House is very spacious, enough bedrooms and enough sitting area. Backyard view is pretty. Inside of the house looked clean, tastefully decorated. Enough dishes, towels. Beds were very comfortable. The bad: outside of the house was dirty, trash on the driveway and side yard. Trash bins were full and smelly. Yard not mowed. The ugly: rundown neighborhood. Street dogs are running everywhere. Train passes by the window all night long. People walking with gun in hand.

Hi Yingying! Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We are happy to hear that you were pleased with the quality of the home. We appreciate yout feedback on the outside of the home and have since coordinated regular lawncare. We personally love our neighborhood, but we understand that each person has different life experiences and opinions.
