    This property is one of (if not the) favorite places on Earth for our family. The home, view, and amenities are exquisite, and the owner is an absolute pleasure to work with. The home is always in perfect condition, and has everything we ever need plus special little touches. A true luxury experience, even better than staying at The Grand! Our favorite part is that the balconies, yard, and even the dock is fully enclosed and gated off, making it a very kid friendly environment while staying directly on the water! Honored to call this place our home away from home.

    We had such a great stay at this Mobile Bay house! The views of the bay are absolutely beautiful, and we spent so much time just relaxing on the deck and watching the sunsets. The boat lift was a huge bonus and made it super easy to get out on the water whenever we wanted.The house itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Plenty of space to spread out, a well-stocked kitchen, and all the little touches that made it feel like home. We loved how easy it was to enjoy both quiet mornings with coffee by the water and fun afternoons out boating.Overall, this place was the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and amazing views. We’d definitely stay here again!

    We had an amazing time at the vacation house! It was the perfect size for our family get away. Even though the weather was not in our favor the entire time we still enjoyed the amazing bed swing, fishing off the covered dock, crab trapping, and the kids running around in the rain. The fenced in yard was great to have for our toddlers to run around and still feel safe. It was the perfect location to be on the water and close to town to enjoy nearby activities, stroll through Fairhope and go out to eat at the local restaurants. We even talked about the possibility of renting this location again in the future.

    We were a group of three and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. It was well appointed and the management company was very responsive and had solid communication pre-arrival and during our stay. Would not hesitate to return if I'm in Fairhope again.

    Five of us enjoyed this peaceful and charming home that is directly on the bay. We loved coffee at the end of the pier, reading a book on the porch daybed swing, and the twinkling patio lights that extend to the end of the pier. The beds were luxurious with ceiling fans to keep you cool. Be home is away from the hustle and bustle, but a quick 15 minute drive to the amazing town of Fairhope. Host was lovely and very quick to respond. Would stay again!
