Foley, Alabama
Ideally located on Weeks Bay just south of the 98 bridge, you will find the very last home before Fish River opens up to Weeks Bay. Do you Chase a sunset You will have one every day of the year here, and even when its cloudy somehow the most spectacular sunsets emerge! Looking to fish Catch a mess right off the pier or head out the gulf. Clean them right out on the dock and then have fresh fish for supper. The pier puts you out over the water and gives you 360 degree water views you will never forget. Need a boat dock We have one. Trailer parking You can launch your boat 1 mile away and park your trailer here. Want privacy You will feel like your alone at a State Park. The Cabin was built in early 1960's . We call it the Last Shack. There is Plenty of room with a Large screened in porch with additional sleeping. The kitchen, dinning and living are all open and have views of Weeks Bay. No frills but amazing views and beautiful nature. Weeks Bay is a Wildlife Preserve and our cabin is nestled among it. Do you enjoy bird watching Dolphins at back door Fishing from a pier We have all that on the property. But then You have Short drive to quaint Fairhope with many shops and restaurants. The best spa in the area is at The Grand Hotel 15 minutes away. My favorite for seafood is just a five minute drive. But the best view...You are on it! Kayaks are offered free of charge, but we do charge for boat docking.
The last shack is like stepping back in time to your grandma’s tiny house with the best warm memories of staying outside till the sun goes down then gathering in the small kitchen to cook what you caught and sleeping like worn out lol kids. Don’t expect 5 star accommodations just like you wouldn’t at granny’s old house. But do expect clean beds, a nice tub, sunshine, seagulls laughing, crab traps, fishin lines and cold drinks. (Forgot how hard it is to be patient when waiting on crabs in a trap)Sometimes we put too much into the “finishes” of a place but forget about the simple pleasures of making memories over making over the paint on the soft close cabinets(none here so don’t expect it) We had the BEST (hottest ha) fresh crabs ever and will never forget laughing as our tears ran hot and tried not to touch it with our five alarm hot boiled seafood fingers!! A memory unlike any other VRBO.
It was a quiet, peaceful place to stay, just what we were looking for. The owner was awesome to deal with, checking in on us by call or text. Loved the views!
Guys spent all their time on the awesome dock..caught a couple big ones that we were able to cook in the very well stocked kitchen. Only regret was we didn't bring the boat.
We loved our stay! The check in process was SO easy, the owner sent very helpful instructions for local recommendations in the area, and the cabin itself was absolutely beautiful and clean! The view from the dock is one of the best I've ever seen. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. I would highly recommend this property.
Great rustic cabin with dock, kids enjoyed fishing and catching crab. We had a crab boil with the 12 crab we caught and the mornings and evenings on the back porch overlooking the water was SO relaxing. Thanks for having us!!! Jeff
The property is clean and everything is included. We really enjoyed our stay.
Wow!!!!!! Quaint little cottage/cabin otherwise known as “The Last Shack” was such a nice surprise! With an overall vibe of Rustic Farmhouse and Cottage Chic furnishings. Sparkling clean windows with unobstructed views of the bay. Very comfortable bed, Updated bathroom Very large flat screen tv equipped Netflix, etc. Relaxing on the large screened in porch in the morning with coffee and watching the amazing sunsets in the evening with your favorite beverage was a real treat! Of course, the fishing/boat dock equipped with two boat lifts and a underwater green light for night fishing was a favorite too. Short drive to good restaurants in Foley and Magnolia Springs. About a 40 minute drive into Gulf Shores Orange Beach area. Very secluded, quiet...not a condominium. Owners (15 minutes away) were very responsive with answers to questions.
The house was a classic, quaint fishing cabin with vintage appliances and craftsman style finishes. The only suggestions we would make is upgrading the TV service satellite to get more than one local station and upgrading the wi-fi to include internet service. The debris from the house remodel and the pier rebuild are unsightly and should be removed. I would suggest to anyone staying there to bring their boat as the dock is very nice and Weeks Bay is a beautiful place to fish or just cruise around on a sunny afternoon. We would still recommend this property to anyone wanting to have a quiet place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
