Host was kind and made everything clear. When we were stuggling with the door, host/manager dialed into the doorbell offering help. Facilities were clean and charming, and house was in a convenient and safe location

Very charming house in the historic neighborhood of Mobile. Very relaxing to sit on the front porch after a busy day. Loved the Red or White Wine Bar that is nearby.

Your satisfaction is important to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again for an even smoother stay. Thank you for choosing Patriot Family Homes!
Not sure where to start as there is a lot of issues that need addressed. Let’s start with no codes to get in and had to call after arrival. Lucky after they gave wrong number that entry door was left open and one of the 2 codes they gave for entry to apt ( other people are there) in this place. Bad neighborhood. Pictures are not the whole story and tactically taken. I would never go again with too many problems to list.

A nice place to come home and chill between excursions.
This was a vacation for me.... and each day I could venture out to explore someplace new: Gulf Shores Public Beach, Pensacola Dog Park Beach, Fairhope and the Eastern Shore Trail, a walk in the neighborhood viewing historic houses on Government St., Basilica of the Immaculate Conception downtown Mobile.
The rental property was very clean, had all the cooking tools needed, it was a great place to come back for respite between excursions. Loved the decor, the high ceilings, etc. Owners very responsive to questions.
Thank you so much for hosting!

Unsafe
This neighborhood is unsafe. I was unable to stay in the VRBO. I checked in, the space is clean and has the basic things you need. But the crime ridden neighborhood was not safe enough for me to stay.
