Enjoy your days fishing, crabbing, kayaking, boating, or just enjoying the view on the pier. You may also love spending time at the beach, swimming in your own private pool, or simply relaxing and reading a good book in the porchswing. Take in the gorgeous sunrise over the bay as you enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a glass of wine while sitting by the firepit at night. We also have a private pier for fishing and crabbing. No Boat slip. We are only 2 miles from the nearest boat launch, 15 minutes from the beaches of Dauphin Island, and 5 minutes from the nearest grocery store.

We have WiFi available for your internet needs and TV's in every bedroom. We offer Direct TV service or log-in to your streaming channels. A few of our favorite local activities is hiking the Audubon Bird Sanctuary trails on Dauphin Island, riding bikes on the Island, touring the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, touring Fort Gaines, riding the Ferry over to Fort Morgan, Cedar Point Fishing Pier, Bellingrath Gardens and Home, and spending the day on the West End of Dauphin Island. If you love to fish, you are in for a treat. Some of the best charter fishing boats are right out of Dauphin Island. Where the largest fishing rodeo is held every July. We are only 20 minutes to the nearest Walmart and they also make deliveries directly to our home. We are 20 minutes to Mobile where we have a brand new Top Golf and Dave And Busters. Great for a girls weekend getaway, a guys fishing or golf trip, and family vacations. We are only about 45 minutes to the casinos of Biloxi, Ms. There is something for everyone to enjoy!!!

    We had a great stay at this beautiful bay front home. The property was clean, and we really enjoyed spending time on the pier taking in the views. The home had everything we needed for relaxing visit, and the location was peaceful and convenient. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

    Paula was an excellent host and our stay was wonderful. The pool with the Bay view was the highlight of our stay in Alabama as was the sunrises. The house is well stocked for those that want to cook and there is ample room for a family of 8. Highly recommend.

    Overall this vacation home was perfect for our needs. We shared the home with some friends who have 2 young children just like us, so the room layout was perfect for our situation. Having the private pier was also great to have and was perfect for fishing and crabbing. The pier is sitting in rather shallow water (2-3 feet max) so we caught more catfish than anything else. Regardless, it was great for fishing. We will definitely be coming back.

    We booked this location for a fishing weekend for my husband and four sons. It was a plus that the beach was only 15 minutes away. Check in was super simple and the property was AMAZING! The kitchen is truly a chef's kitchen with everything you can think of needing. The beds were comfortable, the views were amazing, and the amenities were perfect. The pool was cold in March, but my boys did not mind at all. The laundry room had so many pool toys and floats to play with. There was a basketball goal, footballs, baby swings on the porch and dock, games for the family, books to read, and tvs in every room. The outdoor space was our favorite! The peer was long and stunning. The water was crystal clear. The boys swam and fished. Crab cages were ready for us to us, and we caught some. My guys and me had an amazing weekend! Dauphin Island was 15 minutes away, which we enjoyed two of the four days. Walmart delivery was quick, and local seafood was great. I had to message the owners a couple times about minor things. Theybwere super quick to respond and very nice. Love this property! Can not wait to go back.

    The house has a great layout, especially if you have really little ones. No stairs—great for all ages. The views are AMAZING! Get your coffee ready for gorgeous sunrises! Only 20 minutes to Dauphin Island for tons more to do! We truly enjoyed our time there, and we hope to get back for warmer weather.

    This was home away from home. Very relaxing and had everything we needed. Besides getting groceries we stayed in most of the time and swam in the pool. Very quiet home right on the bay. Can’t wait to return!

    The house was very inviting and was plenty big enough for our group of 8 women. We enjoyed the pool and beds were comfortable. It’s great that there is an ice maker in the kitchen and it could keep up with our group. We had a wonderful dinner cooked by Southern Traditions Catering, and the house was a great base camp for beach activities. We took the ferry one day and highly recommend that! It was all a great experience.

    This house was everything it said it would be! Spacious enough to comfortably sleep 8 people and room for everyone to spread out. The pool was lovely and a staple activity when we were at the house, and the view-especially the sunrises each morning-were simply breathtaking! Close enough to everything to be convenient with several local places to grab food when we didn’t want to cook. Definitely recommend this home and will enjoy staying there again when we return to the area!

    Great location. House was exactly as advertised with a great pool right on the bay. Plenty of towels etc and kitchen supplies, linens etc. everything very clean. Took a while to figure lighting the stove, you just have to be patient. The oven door was kinda wonky and hard to open and close. The bottom door on the oven broke or was already broken. We could not figure out why since we didn’t use it. But in fairness I don’t think the owner knew that. Process and communication was good but storm taking out the internet kinda delayed things a bit. Overall we had a great stay and were happy with our choice.

    Overall, great layout for 2 families with small children. Large, open kitchen and was well stocked with everything you might need. We enjoyed having the covered outdoor area with the large swing directly off the main suite. The tub faucet in the jack and jill bathroom was coming off the wall when pulling up to turn on the overhead shower. There was a musty smell coming from possible drainage in the same bathroom. Our boys loved having access to the pool. Thank goodness for the pool because we were under the impression of having a pier (as shown in 1/3 of the pictures) but to our avail - it was the neighbor's pier. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS MISCONCEPTION! We booked 6 months in advance and after 3 adults read the description over the course of time (many times!), it wasn't until 2 days before that we noticed in the description that the pier doesn't belong to the property. Having a pier was the #1 reason for choosing this VRBO. Paula was less than empathetic to this. We attempted to fish off the bulkhead but reeled in a garden hose. Catching crabs was nonexistent and like so, she confirmed there was a proper beach for kids to play but this can't be reached w/o trespassing onto the neighbor's property.

    This place was perfect for our stay. The house and grounds were amazing. We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the pool and the view of the bay. If you’re wanting to kick back and relax, it’s perfect. Part way through our stay we had trouble with the air conditioner and contacted the host. It was late in the evening before she saw our message, but she had someone there early the next morning to address the issue. Eventually it was resolved. Thanks, Paula. If we ever head back to southern Alabama, we’ll definitely check to see if Middle Bay Hideaway is available.

    This rental was literally the best vacation home I’ve rented. Beyond the fact that it was beautifully decorated, The host was so very nice and accommodating for anything we requested or any questions we had. The HUGE open concept kitchen was fully stocked with any cookware or serveware item you could think of, it was a perfect place to gather with our visiting family and friends. We had 2 kids under 4 years old and there was so much room for everyone that it felt so comfortable and spacious. Overall we were sad to leave at the end of the weekend, this home felt like such a welcome retreat. We want to stay again next year!

    Close proximity to Dauphin Island beaches and attractions yet far enough away to be quiet and secluded. Freighters and fishing boats passed by day and night. Pelicans, Egrets, Cranes and Eagles visited often. This is the spot to watch the perfect sunrise. The pool is not heated, but the sun warmed it enough to use in March. Owners were very helpful and shared preferred eateries and activities that were spot on. Would definitely stay again!

    We had a wonderful stay at the Beautiful Bay House. The house was exactly as described and had everything that we needed. We loved the gas Firepit on the patio. The Sunrises and Moon rises were outstanding. It was too cold to swim in the Pool, but it would be wonderful to use in the warmer weather. I would recommend the Beautiful Bay House to anyone.

    Amazing! First trip in a couple years due to deaths, surgeries and tornado recovery. I wanted to relax before total knee replacement next week. We were so happy here! Beautifully decorated, the kitchen is a cook’s dream. So nice to have the pool overlooking the bay. I spent a lot of time on an air mattress doing my preop exercises. Sent pictures to friends to instigate a girls getaway.. Good restaurants and grocery store nearby. Host obviously went over and above in seeing that everything you could possibly need to be comfortable was provided.
