The location was amazing. Close to Samford University, and downtown Homewood and Mountain Brook. Not well appointed… very small table for four and not enough dishes. Some maintenance issues poor lighting getting up to the house at night and we had an older aunt and uncle with us.. just a few things would’ve made it an excellent stay!

The property was clean, spacious and perfect for our family. Slight hiccup with check-in process in that the door code was not sent to us by VRBO, but our host was responsive and apologetic. He even refunded us a night's stay immediately as a gesture of goodwill and without us asking. Highly recommend to anybody looking to stay in a wonderful spot in Birmingham.

Comfortable home, would easily accommodate six. Clean and well appointed. Easy drive to museums, restaurants, beautiful neighborhoods. Charming city, presenting honest history. Impressive Civil Rights Museum. Sloss Furnaces provided great historic background of the economic development of Birmingham.

This home had everything our family needed to rest while we moved our daughter into her dorm. The neighborhood is beautiful with beautiful trees. We all slept well in comfortable beds. It's also close to shopping, parks and coffee spots. We hope to revisit this place when we visit Homewood again. Danny made sure we had what we needed, too.

My friends and I stayed at Vulcan View while we were in town for a weekend intensive course. VV was the perfect refuge to rest and relax each evening. Would return in a heartbeat!

Great location in Birmingham. Within walking distance of Vulcan Park and a few minutes of driving to great shopping and dining. Our group enjoyed the location and space for visiting. Not a suitable property for anyone with mobility issues, stair climbing required.

Enjoyed this well outfitted home with easy access to Avondale, Edgewood, and all the good food Birmingham has to offer. There was coffee in the pantry, coffee maker, and extra toilet paper. The beds were comfortable and the home owner was responsive.

Nice welcome basket of snacks on arrival. We were in here for friends sons wedding, near to all the places we needed to be, close to the highway, but on a quiet street, beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked if you wanted to cook something. Daniel our host was helpful with any requests we had. Checking in and out was a breeze. I would recommend staying here.

This is the perfect home away from home. We rented this home for family coming in town for Samford graduation. This was so much better than being in hotel rooms. We had great family time cooking in the well equipped kitchen, playing cards at the kitchen table, sleeping comfortably in the spacious rooms and touring Vulcan Park. It’s in a great location to so many areas of Birmingham. Highly recommend this lovely home and working with Danny.

Everything about this property is fantastic. The listing was extremely accurate, the property manager was very responsive and eager to please. The location is central to so many things in the Birmingham area. Six adults stayed and it was completely comfortable. No issues of any kind and we loved every minute of our time here. Definitely recommend if you are looking for an easy, stress free, fun stay in Birmingham.

Comfortable and cool home that our family would stay in again. Comfy beds with extra towels, nice deck and chairs out back, great location with close proximity to interstate. Plenty of things provided, like shampoo and conditioner, extra garbage bags and dishwasher pods which was helpful. Good communication with owner. Some cosmetic attention to things like peeling paint on windows would make this an all-around stellar place to stay!

My group of girls would have given this experience 10 stars. The property was exactly as pictured and described and the owner could not have been more accommodating. We will definitely keep this property on our favorite list. Thanks Daniel!
