About this property

Welcome to 715! Cute Home in Downtown Florence - 4 BR, 2 BA, WiFi, Pet Friendly

Come visit the Shoals and enjoy your stay in a one-of-a-kind home in the heart of Downtown Florence. Nestled in an older neighborhood within walking distance of great food, music, and art, this fabulous property offers a unique experience for guests who are looking for something a little different. Antique and vintage furnishings amid modern amenities make this a place to stay like no other.

The first floor boasts a two bedrooms, a full bath, living room, dining room, kitchen, and laundry. The living room has a 58" television with cable and streaming and the dining room has plenty of space to spread out and enjoy a meal or a game night. There's a full kitchen and laundry for your convenience. Coffee from local shops is provided as well as random other treats as they are available. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans and televisions - the larger has a king bed and the smaller has a full sized bed.

The second floor has a cozy bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a full bath, and a large bedroom with two full-sized beds and a twin. Both of the upstairs bedrooms have televisions and window units to help the central air along (as is sometimes needed in an older home in the south).

The house is still in the process of being decorated and we are adding furnishings as we find the perfect pieces. We will update pictures along the way.

There is a nice sized backyard with a small concrete pad and glass-top patio set. there's also a small front porch. Parking is available on the street out front or in the backyard via alley access.

As dog parents with a larger breed, we are aware of the challenges presented traveling with our pets. We ask that you take your pet with you when possible or confine them if they are left alone. Limit their access to the furniture in the home as much as possible - any damages will be your responsibility. We also request that you keep your pets on leash at all times when outside. Upon request, we will gladly supply a large crate to keep your pet safe and happy.

More about the house:

715 was built in 1910 and has all of the quirks that you can expect with a home of that age. Access to the house in both the front and back involves a couple stair steps. Floors are not level and are, at times, a little wavy. Doorways are varying sizes and there are slight step-downs into some of the rooms. There are low ceilings in the kitchen and on the second floor and high ceilings in other areas of the house. The kitchen floor has recently been repaired. Leading up to the second floor, the painted wooden steps and small balcony have a low handrail. I'm sure there are other things that I will think of and add along the way.

More about the area:

715 is situated on a one-way street and is a seven block walk to the heart of downtown where you can find shopping, art, live music, and great local eateries and bars. There are events pretty much year-round so be sure to check the Visit Florence AL website to see what's happening during your stay. Most nights you should be able to find live music. The University of North Alabama campus is nearby and we are about a 20 minute walk to Braly Stadium, the current home to the UNA Lions football team.

Our group of five women, all over the age of 70, had doubts when we pulled up to the house. Once we entered the house, we felt comfortable. Especially appreciate the chargers conveniently placed around the house. Thank you!

Very cozy

We enjoyed the historical home with updates very much. The king bed was very comfortable, we slept well. The kitchen was well outfitted. We appreciated generous supplies of tissues, toilet paper and towels. The proximity to our destinations was very close. I was concerned about the street parking but it turned out there was no reason. The historic district is streets away and walking and looking at the beautiful homes was very enjoyable.

Short notice

Was coming in town for a getaway, concert weekend, in our RV’s but due to the weather we decided to get a house. It was good to pick one out close to the venue downtown and the description of the house was correct. The house is old, but nice, and very clean. We enjoyed our stay, and all said we would stay there again.

Quiet, quaint, considerate amenities

The hosts were very quick to respond, the house was clean and central to town, and the owners paid great attention to detail. We had coffee, water, muffins...and everyone enjoyed our stay. Will definitely book again!

Florence, AL Stay

This property has ample space for gathering together with family. The location to downtown is an easy 10 minute walk. We all enjoyed the extra surprises provided by the owner. The owner was responsive to my questions and it was a great stay.

Overall

The lock on the doors in the front and back would only let you come in and out of the door you previously used. If you went out the front it made you come back in the front. Other than that and flooring situation that they already mentioned, it was a nice stay.

Host profile image
I grew up in north Alabama/south Tennessee and graduated from UNA. Both of my children were raised here - my oldest is a Navy veteran who has moved back to the area and my youngest is a UNA graduate. My wife and I frequent the local restaurants and events and you can often find us set up at arts and crafts fairs downtown.
