Welcome to the Magic city Home in the charming heart of East Lake. Upon arrival around the corner, you will find a Gate that will lead you to the back of the house. Walk to the large black front door that has the digital key pad which will grant you access into the home. As soon as you walk in make yourself at home with the newly renovated living room. To your right the gorgeous master bedroom has a king bed with its own luxurious private bathroom. Out to the hallway is our second full bathroom and next to that the fabulous second bedroom with a queen bed.
In the main level you will also find the fully stocked kitchen and dining table. We have complementary snacks and coffee upon your arrival.

The game room features a beautiful cozy fireplace with a twin pull out sofa. Gather your family or friends because the game room has everything you need to have a good time including a pool table, games, and bar area.
Now let’s talk about the outside of our Magic City Home. We have a deck with an outdoor seating where you can enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning. Down to our backyard we have a beautiful handcrafted wood burning fireplace for the cold days and next to that we have the outdoor grilling station for the summer days of barbecue.
So first of all, the house and property are great. Communication with owners is fantastic, house was clean, and fenced in yard were good for the dog to play fetch. We even had an issue on Thanksgiving Day with the oven and the owners sent someone over to resolve that day. Appliances were fantastic and kitchen was well stocked. However, I do want to share with potential renters, that the neighborhood is rough. This is the only property that I observed that has transitioned or been updated. We had zero issues, but renters need to feel comfortable and safe with the neighborhood in which they rent. It does appear that the house by the entrance gate on the east side of the property is a drug house with people stopping by and entering at various times throughout the day. I am speculating of course, but it was suspicious. That being said there were no issues, but just want people to be aware. All that being said, we would rent this property again.
My husband and I and our three children stayed at this location over a long weekend. My daughter was getting married. The house was clean and orderly and well-stocked. The beds were comfortable. Our 23-year-old son enjoyed the privacy of the downstairs area with the pool table, it’s on seating area, and separate bedroom and bathroom. We appreciated that the house was pet friendly, so we were able to bring our babies with us. The only thing I would mention is that if you have small children, you may need a baby gate to go over the top of the stairs going down to the bottom floor. The stairs are incredibly steep. Also, if you have elderly guest or you yourself have a hard time climbing stairs, you may not want to choose this house but overall it was a great weekend and we would definitely stay there again.
Our two sons and their families met us in Birmingham. One lives close but the other lives several hours away. We stayed at the house with our youngest son and family. They have twins age 4 and we we’re celebrating their birthday. We visited the McWane Center and the Zoo. The house was convenient to both. The house was a perfect fit for us. We needed to stay on the bottom floor and we had a lovely bathroom attached to our room. The upstairs was nicely renovated as was the basement. We had plenty of room for the children to play and there were lots of games and books. We ordered dinner in both nights and had no problems with them finding the house. I would recommend this house to anyone planning to visit the Birmingham area. So much more space than a hotel but with amenities.
Overall the house was perfect for our family but the neighborhood was disappointing
Can't say enough wonderful things about this home. So beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. Lots of space. Games, pool table and putting green for fun with the family. Lucy was kind and super responsive host. I accidentally locked us out and she got us in in a jiffy. The neighbors in the area were really great folks. We had a great time... highly recommend staying here.
This lovely and unique property was the perfect home base for our group (2 families with teens) while we explored the Magic City. The home was spacious, comfortable and exactly as described. Within a very reasonable driving distance to Birmingham, we ventured downtown often. Our only regret is not scheduling some down time and booking a longer stay!
great place to hang out and relax, very convenient to the airport as well. Would definitely book again.
We loved this house for our family to be together for Thanksgiving. They did a great job updating this house - they made the best use of the space. We loved that the bathrooms had nice large showers, the open kitchen with a long island, large refrigerator and beautiful blue tiled wall, the outdoor space with fireplace - it was a very relaxing weekend!
I enjoyed staying here. The house was beautiful inside and out! The only issue was gnats in the kitchen. Also the trash outside was very pungent. Otherwise, it felt like I was on vacation. Every amenity that you could think of was offered.
House was in excellent condition and the homeowners communication with us on everything was great. Neighborhood wasn’t the best, but had zero issues. Would recommend.
The owner was very accessible. House was perfect for our trip to the World games. Neighborhood was a little concerning but we did not have any issues. House was clean and had a lot of personality.
Absolutely perfect! Location not a great area but had no problems. 5 minutes from Walmart.
