Bring the family or a group of old friends and enjoy a great time at Casa De Curran on Mobile Bay. Our 2-story, 3,600 sq. ft. home leads out to a spacious private wharf, great for watching the sunsets, fishing, sunning and swimming.

A Great Blue Heron, who we call Henry, is a frequent visitor, and if you’re lucky, you might see dolphins right off the wharf.

Our home is 3 miles from the world famous Grand Hotel and about 10 minutes from the restaurants, bars and shops ofthe increasingly renowned Fairhope, which has managed to maintain its small town charm yet always seems to be bustling with foot traffic. We're about a 40-minute drive from Gulf Shores, and all that entails.

Children are allowed, or rather, encouraged. Dogs and cats are welcome, for a $50 fee, with no size limit. Also: There is a $30 per person per night fee for every guest over 10.

There are plenty of fishing poles for adults and children, along with tackle box, live bait bucket, and assorted gear. Two crab traps, easy to bait, do a great job of catching the famously delicious blue crabs of Mobile Bay, and, in some if not most cases, will be baited prior to your arrival.

We recently added fishing lights on the end of the wharf that come on when it gets dark. Can't say always, but if conditions OK, fishing under the lights at night can be really good.

There’s a seine net for catching shrimp and other creatures. Masks/snorkels, for adults and kids, are also available.

We’ve got two kayaks, and two bikes (and likely getting more, especially if customer shows interest) for the sidewalk trail along Scenic 98, where the house is. The trail is also a great place for walking and running.

There are four private bedrooms -- three downstairs and a fourth upstairs. Also upstairs is the two-level loft, with two queen beds, a single, and bunk beds. There's another single bed on the loft porch, overlooking the Bay.

Our home is full of color, the furniture and the art, not austere at all, thanks to the efforts of my late mother, my father, and my sister Leslie. It's built and designed for comfort, relaxation and enjoyment, as a bayhouse should be.

We have a hammock and lots of chairs/recliners on the wharf. There are floaties for adults and children, as well as life preservers, and some beach towels inside.

Also available to guests is a badminton/volleyball set, which can be set up in the front yard; footballs for adults and children; baseballs and gloves (adults and children); a soccer ball; and horseshoes and croquet.

Inside are puzzles, Legos and board games for children and adults, including Monopoly, Chess, Checkers and Clue, playing cards and Crayolas and coloring/drawing books.

We recently bought a Pack'N'Play for guests with infants.

A full service kitchen has everything you need, including spices and a small library of cookbooks, many local. There's a regular coffee maker and a K-pod coffee maker, and enough coffee to at least get you started.

Two charcoal grills with starter and charcoal are starter, etc., that guests are free to use.

We've a plentiful collection of books, including mysteries, history/biography, children's books, short story collections, some classics, books of local interest, even some touchy feely stuff.

A portable Bluetooth speaker is here for your use, in the house or on the Wharf.

An information/suggestion book is in the house, and includes more about the house and property, as well as things to do in the area, places to eat, etc. We can provide these to visitors after they complete their booking.

No large parties allowed, but, as for reasonably peaceful, fun gatherings, go for it. There are plenty of places in the house to gather, or, if the mood strikes, to sneak off and take a nap or read, and, most of all, to feel at home.


Upstairs in the loft is a chair and desk and computer monitor if you have work to do.

In the summer months, especially toward the end of summer, come the world famous Mobile Bay Jubilees, when, for reasons too complex to go into here, the oxygen in the water goes to the top, and crabs and bottom dwelling fish like flounder surge toward the beach, fall into a listless trance, and are there for the netting and gigging. Has to be seen to be believed.

One House Rule: No smoking inside. It is allowed outside, including the back porch and the wharf.

We're new at this, and trying hard. Incidentally, the $300 Host Fee, as it’s called, covers the required cleaning service. It seemed high to me, but these things are based on square footage and numbers of beds.

Lastly, and primarily because we are on the water, we require guests to sign a liability waiver, or hold harmless agreement, in the event a guest suffers an injury on the premises, such as a child on the bunk bed or while biking or out on the water. You will find that in the Rental Agreement.

We at Casa De Curran hope you choose to stay at our house, and, best of all, become repeat customers.

    My group of 11 absolutely adored this house. There is space for everyone, plus some. The living room provided space for some folks to read, some folks to play games, while others could be in the dining room eating, and no one got on each other's nerves! Eddie was extremely responsive with anything we needed (my mom got there first and needed help with the lockbox and he helped her out) and was a wonderful host.The kitchen had more than enough utensils, plates, serving bowls, etc. We're a family that likes to cook and we were happy! Fairhope is closeby for any grocery needs.We loved sitting on the pier and watching the sunset on the sunny days. Everything was clean and comfortable. The family is already talking about going back!

    This property was wonderful. Beautifully decorated, with a special ambience, clean, and had everything we required during stay -- plus extras. We loved the openess and light of extended living areas, and having a great view of the bay through the picture windows. The floorplan (and roominess of bedrooms) was perfect for our large family, providing privacy and comfort, while the kitchen had everything we needed. At the same time, we spent a lot hours together on the pier, both day and night, and it became a favorite place for evening meals during sunset. I cannot recommend this property and host enough.

    This is truly the best rental property I have ever stayed in. Every little thing was an absolute dream, I have zero complaints. So many properties can feel under-furnished or lack comfort, but this property did not. You can tell it is a well-loved home with the memories covering the walls and comfortable, beautiful furnishings. The property was extremely clean and well maintained. The best part was Eddie being an incredible host, so willing to help and providing more than enough details about the property and Fairhope itself. I cannot wait to return to this home, it is absolutely incredible! Thank you!

    Our group of eight thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We had more than enough room and the Casa de Curran is perfectly located for golfers. House was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Kitchen had everything we needed for home-cooked meals. Sunsets were spectacular! Eddie was friendly & helpful and even put the crab traps out for us and to our delight several blue crabs awaited our arrival.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Curran House! Our family group visited for a February weekend, and the home was perfectly suited for our needs. It was well equipped, comfortable, and inviting. We loved the beautiful views, spending time playing games, visiting Fairhope, and simply being together. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The host was excellent to work with during booking and throughout our stay—responsive and accommodating. We would absolutely book again without hesitation.

    If you are looking for instant recall of all your favorite childhood summer memories: swimming and fishing with your cousins and friends, bonfires, s’mores, catching lightening bugs, hide and seek at night, running barefoot; this house IS for you. From the view (amazing!) to the eclectic furnishings you can spend hours looking at, you just feel like home here. The beds are comfortable and cozy. The AC works great. Close proximity to town. Honestly if I could give 100 stars it wouldn’t come close to the value of the memories we made here. The host, Mr. Curran, was super accommodating with some special requests we had and always got back to me in a timely manner. Will definitely come back to stay.

    Wake up to the bay in the backyard with hours of endless fishing. Beautiful sunsets. Got to watch the birds and dolphins play. Waa bwry relaxing ans allowed myself and my family a break from the chaos that is our daily lives. The owner was very courteous and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend this place if you are looking to disconnect and relax.

    I cannot express how amazing our stay was at this house. It is a beautiful old school bay house that had everything we could have wanted and more. Spacious, clean and felt like a home. I have been coming to Pt Clear for 50 years and this visit was one of the best. The wharf was so enjoyable and could not have been more relaxing and peaceful. On top of that, we had a Mobile Bay Jubilee. If you don’t know what that is, please look it up. My sincere thanks to the host. We will be back!

    We spent a week at Eddies house in June and it could not have been more perfect. The house is wonderful big enough for myself and my two brothers and all of our family. They provided everything from fishing poles to grills ect. The kitchen is very well equipped with coffee, and even my favorite a frother. Eddie is the perfect host and always gets back to me immediately with any questions I have. It's a wonderful location only 10 minutes to Fairhope. We loved our stay and will be booking for the third year in a row next summer. Thank you Curran family for such a great vacation.

    This is a home full of loving details in a gorgeous location. The plan of this house flows towards a beautiful view of Mobile bay. The spacious living areas are chocked full of comfortable sofas and chairs and easily accommodated the 7 of us. The land contributed to the graceful feel of this property. I felt at home in the stands of enormous pine trees decorating the property.
