Perfect stay!

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The location of the house was exactly what we were looking for— adorable, very walkable historic neighborhood, convenient to restaurants, coffee shops, and downtown sites. The house was clean and comfortable, and the layout was perfect for our family of 6. We would definitely return!

Bluehouse Review

My family and I were in town for a concert and stayed at the Bluehouse. The property was well kept and had everything we needed. The location was nice and you could walk to several restaurants and shops. The owner was quick to respond to questions. We would stay there again!

Wonderful stay!

We enjoyed our winter get-a-way very much, in beautiful downtown Mobile. The property is really cute and charming, and the up-scale location makes walking to all our favorite Mobile hangouts so fun. Our hosts Lara and Richie are very accommodating and friendly, while letting us enjoy the privacy and amenities of home. A must-stay if you are visiting Mobile, and we hope to return next winter!

Carnival Spirit

Our second time to stay at the property and just like the first the homeowners made sure that our needs were met. House is awesome and location is close to several venues. We chose it because of the closeness to the cruise terminal.

Better than the listing!

We loved our stay here! The house is so charming and even better than the listing shows! The location is safe and quiet, within walking distance of everything downtown, and the house was well stocked and so comfortable. There's even a private backyard to relax in. We definitely lucked out finding this listing and would definitely stay again!

Great Location

This house was Wonderful! Great Location, and very clean! Lara was so helpful with any questions we had. This was our first time staying in Mobile and wasn't sure what to expect, but it was great! The house is right in the middle of the historical district. The house had everything you needed for your visit. Quaint, quiet, well kept neighborhood! Highly recommend this home away from home.

Great little house in an awesome location. The house was clean and ready to go before our check-in time, and the owners were very helpful and kind. We didn’t need anything but would have had no problem reaching out to them. Absolutely zero complaints or concerns with this house. We would definitely stay here again!!

Convenient accommodations

House is convenient to downtown activities. Just a short 10 minute walk which allows you to see the beautiful historical homes. Plenty of restaurants nearby plus a dog park if you are traveling with your furry companion. The hosts are exceptionally great. Answered all of our questions and gave us plenty of recommendations. If traveling brings us back to Mobile this is where we will stay.

My family enjoyed this property. Plenty of room for everyone and the located was excellence. I'm from Mobile, and grew up in the area the "Blue House" is located so it was a join staying there, and I was only 2 minutes from my parent's home. Quiet, clean, plenty of room, great location and it had everything we needed for our stay. Two thumbs UP.

This property deserves MORE than 5 stars!

The house was perfect for my business trip. Extremely clean! Convenient location. Good neighborhood. I travel to Mobile annually for a conference in the Convention Center. I’ll definitely book this house again next year if it’s available. The pictures really don’t do it justice. The host is located near by for easy communication although I had no issues or reason to call on her. Don’t hesitate to book this one!

Great location and neighborhood, older home with character

The home was comfortably furnished and well stocked, including snacks and coffee. It's an older home with a good amount of charm, including squeaky wood floors. It was an easy walk downtown and the surrounding neighborhood is attractive and quiet. It was nice to have the fenced backyard for our dogs. A little more TLC would be nice, but none of the things we noticed are worth mentioning individually without sounding like a snob.

The Blue House was perfect!

My sisters and I stayed at The Blue House on a trip we took to celebrate my oldest sister's birthday. When we arrive at the house Lara had set up a nice table with a birthday cake and a bottle of bubbly! The house was in the perfect location, close (walking distance) to downtown. The decor was very charming and all the extras were included, including snacks, coffee and tea. This house is the best place we have stayed in all our travels. We regret that we couldn't stay longer but if we get an opportunity to return to Mobile we will definitely stay here again. It was perfect!

Excellent

The property was very clean and had a homie feel. The little niceties included with the property were appreciated: coffee K-Cups and plenty of sweetener options for the coffee, tea, laundry detergent, cute soaps...etc. We have used two different VRBOs to date, and this property was outstanding. Communication when I had to make some adjustment and dates was immediate and also very appreciated! 5 Stars all the way.
