    Wonderful Trip

    April 16, 2013

    We recently stayed at Berney/Fly and were very pleased with the accommodations. Everything is very convenient. You can take walks through beautiful neighborhoods. The rooms are lovely, and the back yard pool area is very nice. Breakfasts were delicious. The innkeepers were very friendly. I would definitely recommend the Berney/Fly to anyone staying in the Mobile area.

    Spring Break Getaway to Mobile

    March 28, 2013

    My wife and I spent three nights on our Spring Break Getaway to Mobile. The whole vacation exceeded my expectations. The great sandy beaches of Gulf Shores, the Bellingrath Gardens, the Festival of Flowers and the Battleship Park were worth the trip, but our stay at Berney/Fly was the highlight. Stephen went above and beyond any host we have ever had at a bed & breakfast. Twice he cooked breakfast early to accommodate our schedule. Each morning he cooked something different and everything was delicious. For the first time in my life I finished all the grits on my plate and even had seconds. We walked the neighborhood and admired the huge oaks and houses. Unfortunately, we stayed in March and couldn't take advantage of the vast, nicely landscaped pool area. We did eat leftover ribs out by the pool, which Stephen was kind enough to reheat for us. I can't imagine any better lodging alternative in Mobile for the price. What a value.

    Tennis Sectionals 2013 (3) night stay.

    March 03, 2013

    I stayed (3) nights in the poolside bungalow during the Southern-Combo Sectionals (Tennis). I slept very well and was delighted with the accommodations and breakfast. The Owner/host was very accommodating and always went the extra mile to ensure that my stay was successful. I highly recommend the Berney/Fly. Also, It is an especially excellent alternative to a traditional hotel for the business traveler.

    We lucked out and stayed at the start of Mardi Gras. Stephen was very helpful in alerting us to things to see and do plus good dining tips. The house is beautiful and the room perfect.

    Great place to stay for Mardi Gras

    February 07, 2013

    This was our second stay at Berney Fly and it was everything that we remembered it to be. The room was comfortable and clean, the breakfasts were imaginative and delicious. Steven was creative in accommodating our dietary restrictions, very friendly & helpful. The location is perfect for walking downtown. We will certainly stay here again on our next visit to Mobile.

    Great BnB!

    October 23, 2012

    My husband had checked out the website but being in a hurry to finally get out of town, we did not book ahead. We called Steven about 45 minutes away and were lucky enough to get the last room! He was very helpful in giving information about local sites and restaurants. Even though we have visited Bellingrath before, he gave us coupons and said we should see it in the fall. He was definitely right! The breakfast was delicious and we met some real nice folks from San Diego. Before we left, we took a stroll down Government Street to see all the historical homes. Beautiful area! We definitely intend to visit Berney/Fly again! - Pam Stephens

    Review Berney/Fly Bed and Breakfast

    September 25, 2012

    Just wanted to say how we enjoyed our six nights at Berney/Fly Bed and Breakfast. Steven was such a good host....he gave at lot of information of places to go, places to see, and places to eat. Steven even warmed up our leftover lunch for us that we brought back with us. We would gladly stay there again, Great breakfasts!!! Ron and Joyce Magers, Parsons, Ks

    All male; just average B&B.

    July 26, 2012

    Would be great for all male guests, they could have a blast at pool parties. I was only woman I saw there although they were nice. Very good location. Food is good -- they will cook vegetarian.
