The Crimson Collective | Elevated 3BR at Watercress

Welcome to The Crimson Collective — your Tuscaloosa home away from home.
Located inside Watercress, a secure gated waterfront community, our bright and thoughtfully appointed 3-bedroom, 3-bath condo is just minutes from the University of Alabama.
Close enough for everything you came to Tuscaloosa to do. Comfortable enough that you may not want to leave.

And unlike a typical rental, we’ve stocked The Crimson Collective with the things we actually want when we travel — great bedding, really good coffee, premium bath products, a kitchen that’s truly equipped and all the little extras you didn’t realize you needed until they’re already there.
SLEEP REALLY WELL

Three private bedrooms. Three full bathrooms. No fighting over who gets the good room because they are all great.

1 King Bed
2 Queen Beds
100% cotton, 1,000-thread-count sheets & bedding
Ceiling fans with dimmer lighting in each bedroom
Charging stations at each nightstand

You’ll also find:

The dining table comfortably seats six and also makes a great spot to open the laptop when real life follows you to Tuscaloosa.

BATHROOMS THAT FEEL LIKE YOU'RE VISITING YOUR BESTIE:

Hair dryers
Garment steamer
Magnifying mirror
Cotton rounds + Q-tips

We’re big believers that forgetting one little thing shouldn’t require an immediate trip to the store.

Vintage Alabama yearbooks
Gameday buttons + pom-poms
Gameday slippers
Houndstooth bathrobes
Bear Bryant’s iconic houndstooth hat
Alabama board games
Coffee cups collected from favorite local Tuscaloosa coffee shops

ARRIVE EARLY. LEAVE LATE.
This might be our favorite amenity.
7:00 AM check-in.
7:00 PM check-out.
Yes. Really.
We don’t want you sitting in your car waiting for a 4 PM check-in after arriving in town.
And we definitely don’t want you rushing out at 10 AM when you could be grabbing breakfast, visiting your college kid, wandering the farmers market or squeezing in one more Tuscaloosa adventure.
Your time here matters too.

Keyless entry makes arrival easy, whenever you get here.
PLENTY OF PARKING
Parking is unassigned and abundant, making it easy when everyone arrives separately or your crew has more than one car.

WELCOME TO WATERCRESS

When you’re ready to leave the condo, there’s plenty waiting for you in the community:
Community Pool + Jumbo-Tron
Poolside Cabanas
Fitness Center
Pickleball Court
Basketball Court
Fire Pits
Community Grills
Secure Gated Waterfront Community

The condo gets loads of natural light and overlooks the pickleball and basketball courts, so the whole space feels bright, open and connected to what’s happening outside.
Need to get a little work done? You’ve got fast private Wi-Fi and the six-person dining table inside, plus access to the community building Monday through Friday.

HERE FOR BAMA? PERFECT.

Whether you’re coming for:
Alabama football
Parents Weekend
Graduation
Campus tours
A weekend with your college kid
A family visit
Or simply a Tuscaloosa getaway
The Crimson Collective gives you something a hotel room can’t:
Room to be together with space to spread out that feels like coming home.

Welcome to The Crimson Collective.
