The Little Prince House: A Colorful Maximalist Escape with Skyline Views

Step into a unique home where every room is a work of art. The Little Prince House isn’t your typical rental — it’s an immersive experience. Inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved story, this whimsical home bursts with bold colors, vintage treasures, and curated original art. Perfect for travelers who crave something personal and unforgettable.

What Makes This Space Special:

Panoramic city skyline views — especially magical at sunset.

Maximalist design — vibrant rooms, lush textures, and photo-worthy details in every corner.

Creative extras — a cabinet of free art supplies, percussion instruments, and cozy reading nooks.

Unique mural exterior that sets the tone before you even walk in.

Who This Home Is For:

Perfect for couples on a romantic getaway, groups celebrating milestones, or families who want a fun, memorable stay. This house feels like stepping into a storybook.

Amenities & Comforts:

3 spacious bedrooms + air mattress for additional guests

HD TV with streaming services and Bose Soundbar for movie nights.

Fully equipped kitchen for cooking or cocktail-making

High-speed Wi-Fi for remote work or streaming

Washer/dryer for longer stays

Family-friendly touches (toys, board games, and kid-safe spaces)

Located in Birmingham’s Southside neighborhood, The Little Prince House is close to everything in downtown Birmingham.

- 1 mile from UAB
- 2 miles from the Civil Rights Institute
- 3 miles from the BJCC Civic Center
- 4.8 miles from Protective Stadium
- 5 miles from Coca-Cola Amphitheater
- 14 miles from Oak Mountain Amphitheater

Perched just below the iconic Vulcan statue, the house provides a magnificent view of the city skyline, especially at sunset. We recommend watching from the emerald green sun porch or outside at the picnic table.

The Little Prince House is a wonderful place for families with children--although the steep terraces outside may be a challenge if you have fast-moving toddlers.

We hope you’ll find this place as magical and memorable as we do.

Immersive experience was a great way to describe the house. Details were everywhere, from bells on the ceiling in one bedroom to prisms in the windows on the enclosed porch. the views were great. Definitely worth the 46 steps to get from the street to the house.

The Little Prince Experience

This place is a colorful, whimsical and cozy little paradise! Beautiful views overlooking the city, prime location close to everything and the neighborhood was super quiet. So much to see and do in this home, and a beautiful backyard area built right in to the mountains/hillside for exploring and located right under Vulcan statue. Would highly recommend this place. Very eclectic and good vibes!!

Amazing time under The Vulcan!

This was truly one of the most unique and enjoyable VRBO stays my family has had. The property was a wonderland of special touches, cozy nooks, and so many conveniences. The listing was really accurate. The property owners answered all inquiries quickly with patience and grace. The location was perfect. We were close to the Homewood area that has many restaurants, close to UAB campus, and close to the connections needed to get around the city. We truly are glad we picked this options for our weekend family stay.
