Game Weekend

We arrived to find the house lit up and cooled down which made it feel like we were coming home. Nothing worse than coming into a dark uninviting home! We quickly found the home and owner to be very accommodating. We smoked some pork tenderloins for tailgating on the smoker provided and enjoyed the ambiance of the patio with the string lights. The home is beautifully decorated and far exceeded my expectations! The neighborhood is nice and quiet with the occasional squeal of children playing. We would definitely rent this home again in the future! Thank you to the Hargreaves for sharing your lovely home!

Best VRBO host ever

House has a great location and is very clean and well appointed. Comfortable beds. Nothing but good things to say about it. But even better than the great house is the amazing host. We were in town to check out the Bama game, knowing nothing about the local establishments, tailgating, game experience. Kristen gave us a complete run down, stocked the fridge for us, hooked us up with a tailgate where she knew locals, basically just white gloved the whole weekend for us. I was literally shocked someone could be that nice. I can’t say enough about her and the experience. I’d give this review 100 stars if I could.

Ideal location and perfect space

This house has everything plus more! The house is super comfortable and roomy! You really can just bring yourself and your clothes. The kitchen is very well stocked and has all the essentials. It is super close to campus so was perfect for graduation weekend and would be great for a game weekend. Kristen was very communicative ahead of time and gave us extra tips and tricks. Would definitely stay there again!!

Great property, plenty of space and close to the university and downtown.

We had 10 people staying at the property for a football weekend. We had plenty of space and were very close to the university and downtown. The owners were very easy to work with and very welcoming. I couldn’t recommend this property more!

Even Better Than Expected

Beautiful, roomy, comfortable home! We rented this house for graduation weekend. It was welcoming, tastefully and thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable beds. Our family had a great weekend: Coffee on the cute patio, room to spread out, two refrigerators. The owner, Kristen, helped me with local suggestions and she left us with the cutest cookies for graduation. This house is very convenient to campus. Highly recommend.

About the host

Host profile image
Darrell and Kristen have worked at The University of Alabama for 13-16 years respectively and are happy to assist with anything campus related. We got married in 2016, bought this house and have been working tirelessly ever since and love it.....well, Kristen does. Darrell is a good sport. When we consolidated homes we purged and the result is a nice, clean, every surface recently painted home minus the clutter. We love to host friends and family as often as possible - and that includes you!

Why they chose this property

The entire house has been painted, professionally cleaned, replaced (downstairs flooring, upper HVAC, roof), expanded (concrete patio) and updated. You will have use of the garage, laundry room, closet and drawer space, wifi, large TVs, Xbox One, etc.

What makes this property unique

We are happy to prepare the space for your arrival with concierge services such as stocking the fridge with your favorite treats. Our family will be in town, at our other home, so we will be out of your way but close by if you need anything.
