We really enjoyed our stay at Charming Retreat. Jeff and Mary were wonderful hosts, and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The home is beautifully maintained. It was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with small touches that made it feel inviting. The peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax and unwind. The outdoor space was spacious and well-curated with plenty of seating. We’d happily return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, memorable getaway.

The Extra Mile

The Jolly’s went the extra mile to ensure our family had the best place to stay while visiting Tuscaloosa for our son’s birthday. The property is extremely clean, peaceful, and family-friendly.

The perfect weekend

We were here celebrating my daughter’s graduation, the house was perfect, plenty of room and a huge backyard. The owners were great in communicating. The elephant cookies were a perfect touch. We will define rent this in the future.

Wonderful Stay!

The house is beautifully decorated! What you see in the listing is truly what you get :) The owners are great! We met Mr. Jolly and he was so helpful and accommodating. We were welcomed with fresh flowers and a loaf of breakfast cake, which was a very nice touch. The house is conveniently located to restaurants, stores as well as minutes away from the Bama campus. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be booking in the future!

Beautiful, cozy and elegant

We stayed at Jeff and Mary's house June 7-10, 2024 with our teenage son. From the moment we entered the property, we felt welcomed! The outside deck and back yard are very inviting with several different areas to relax - whether you're just hanging out on the deck, playing bags, grilling or hanging around the fire pit. We were wowed upon entering the house with very stylish and classy, yet simple décor. Those subtle little details (like a claw tub in the master bathroom with crystal chandelier above it and velvety curtains) absolutely added to the charm of the house. Rooms are very spacious and each has its own (large) private bathroom. The owners are very quick to respond to any messages, are very accommodating and were on property within 10 minutes to replace an empty gas tank for the grill when we ran out (you know those things happen, and they had it handled in no time!). When booking a house, we usually look for the consistent, negative comments or issues that renters had. But we can whole heartedly say that there is not one single negative thing we can tell you about this property, or the owners, or the neighborhood! Don't look further - this is your house! You would be crazy to pass on it! Jeff and Mary - thank you for your hospitality, we had a wonderful time! We will definitely contact you the next time we are staying in the area... or in Gulf Shores!
