The Red Elephant never fails to deliver!

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Red Elephant condo, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, Debbie and Maurie were incredible hosts – warm, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful.The condo itself is simply fantastic – beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The location couldn’t be better – just a short walk to campus and Bryant-Denny Stadium, which made it so convenient for everything I had planned during my trip.This visit was especially meaningful because I was able to spend some much-needed quality time with my daughter at the University of Alabama. The Red Elephant condo made it the perfect home base for our visit, with its cozy and inviting atmosphere. I’ve stayed here before and without a doubt, I’ll be back again if it’s available. It truly is the ideal place to stay for anyone visiting Tuscaloosa. Thanks again to Debbie and Maurie for making this trip so memorable – you guys are the best!

Houndstooth Extended Stay

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Houndstooth Condominiums, allowing us nearly 3 weeks with our daughter! The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to Bryant-Denny Stadium and close to everything on the University of Alabama campus. The mall is also nearby, making it super convenient for shopping and dining. The condo itself was perfect for my family and me, providing a peaceful retreat where we could relax and unwind. It was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. It was the perfect getaway for us and our daughter to enjoy some quiet time together. Debbie was an incredible hostess! She was always just a message away and very responsive, making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. She really went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. If I had to mention one small thing, the nearby train could be a bit loud if you're a light sleeper, but it didn’t bother us too much. Everything else was absolutely perfect! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Rolled Out the “Crimson” Carpet

What a magnificent condo! Tastefully decorated, clean, and comfortable. Very thoughtful extra were available to make our stay even more pleasant. The coffee bar was well stocked, the laundry had every imaginable washing and cleaning product including a high quality vacuum cleaner and full first aid kit. In each bathroom there was plethora of personal hygiene items and an abundance of towels. The kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need for cooking and baking to include a drawer full of organic spices, flours, yeast, chocolate chips, olive oils and more cooking appliances than I have in my own home. I’ve traveled all over the world; staying in VRBOs and hotels often and this is by far the best place we have ever had! Wish every place had a host as attentive to their guests as this host is. I definitely will stay here again when visiting Tuscaloosa. Roll Tide!!

Perfect All Around Stay

Perfect home base for sorority parent's weekend! It was the small things that wowed me. The arrival snacks and cold water in the fridge, extra thick bath towels, fully stocked laundry and assortment of family games. Clean, quiet, spacious, close to campus, The Strip. During our 5 day stay we drove back and forth to campus (3 min), but you could easily walk (18 mins) if the weather is nice and you had the time. Designated parking space was a plus. The private outdoor area has a tv and large table. Already checked on a couple dates for a return trip to T-Town.

My husband and I stayed here while moving our kid in to UA. It was so comfortable, clean, and had everything you could think of needing. I need to know what air freshener Debbie uses because the second you walk in it smells like fresh laundry! Proximity to campus and the strip was convenient. We felt safe and secure. We will definitely stay here again when we visit campus. Thanks for the thoughtful touches, Debbie!
