Enjoy dinners, sunsets and star gazing from the private dock 200' out on Mobile Bay. Explore the bay with our 2 Kayaks, relax in the Adirondack chairs on the boathouse or fish from the pier after a visit to the Bait shop.
Pets Welcome for a fee, please include them in your guest list when booking.
The house has a deck facing the Bay if you want to stay close to the kitchen for snacks and drinks. County Road 1 offers quiet walks in the morning and the marsh wildlife waking up offersan incredible experience of sights and sounds.
Fairhope's quaint downtown is 11 miles North, convenient but far enough to keep the city lights from drowning out the magnificent night sky. The beaches of Gulf Shores are a 35-minute drive South, or head North for the city lights of Mobile at about the same distance.

    My family loved our stay. If you love fishing you will enjoy the property and the view. My husband and son loved it. Be sure to check out downtown Fairhope and the restaurants. I am familiar with this part of the region so if you are looking for a place away from the tourists, crowds, and beaches, stay here. The drive is short to all that other stuff but stay here if you want some peace and quiet. The owner was prompt with any communication. Check-in was easy. Visit at your own risk - you will definitely not want to leave. Enjoy!

    Great spot on the bay. Very quiet and peaceful. The house was comfortable with lovely views. The kitchen was well stocked. My husband and I just relaxed a few days. We saw dolphins, pelicans, herons, blue birds and caught mullet with a cast net.

    This is a great fishing property with comfortable beds and furniture. The dock and bunk house is awesome as my husband fished some every day! There is a great bait shop a close drive. We also enjoyed Fairhope shopping and restaurants. The pier in Fairhope was a nice place to walk the dog as was the street outside this home. The road is not busy at all. We really appreciated being able to bring our pup to this bay home. Fully ample kitchen, laundry and bathrooms. Great space!

    This unit could stand some love. The outside needs a good washing, and the porches need some paint. The inside is missing several sets of blinds, the primary bedroom and the sunroom/sitting area is the other place missing shades. The primary bedroom has some small curtains huge to feel the void, while they most likely kept people from seeing in, they didn’t fully cover the window. The sunroom/sitting room’ could use some cosmetic love, hole in the glass storm door and ceiling. The inside of the unit was clean and well stocked with towels and supplies.

    My sister and I try to visit Fairhope each year. This year we found this home and we loved it. It is such a comfortable home and we loved the enclosed portion of the deck. It enabled us to sit inside when it was a little warm outside. We also enjoyed the pier and the shade you get on it. Also the chairs on the deck and the pier are actually quite comfortable. It is also nice that they allow pets. We spent most all of our time outside looking at the bay and enjoying the birds that fly overhead during the morning and evening. Again a great home to visit.

    I would definitely stay again at this property. The waterfront views are beautiful and the property was comfortably spacious. The house is conveniently located not far from Fairhope, The Grand Hotel, and grocery stores and restaurants. We stayed on a cold weekend so we didn’t go to the Gulf beach, but I’m thinking it’s not far.

    Great house with stunning views of the bay! Found the house to be clean and as described. All three of the bedrooms are separated with the two larger ones being on opposite sides of the house. The master BR has windows looking out on the bay which offers beautiful views as you wake up. The living room is cozy and has a small sitting area in the front where you can enjoy views of the bay in climate control if it’s too hot outside. There is a large well equipped kitchen and dining area that have good view of the bay as well. The dock was the highlight of the property with a covered area out of sun and an extension in front of this were you can sit in the sun. House was a fairly quick drive to Magnolia Springs and Fairhope which offer great restaurants and shopping. Douglas was very responsive to all my questions and made check in a breeze.

    The property was as described, albeit with some minor updates since the pictures were taken. Everything was clean and adequately maintained with one exception of a few dirty plates that were in the cupboard. These were obviously used and probably accidentally placed back in the cupboard instead of being washed first. The house pictures and description indicated a drip coffee maker with a grinder so we packed bean coffee. Only to discover it had been swapped out for a Keurig K cup maker which also required descaling the first morning before it would allow coffee to be made. I assume this was a time based requirement and no big deal to perform once we googled the descaling process. It just wasn’t expected on the first morning. There was also no garden hose outside for rinsing things off such as fishing equipment, water toys, etc.The dock is very nice and we spent a lot of time out there fishing, crabbing and watching the sunsets. The dock has an enclosed area which is nice in that it has a sink with running water and provides a place to put things overnight so you don’t have to carry stuff back and forth to the house. It also provides shade for the afternoon sun.All in all it is a nice property in a nice location and with only minor inconveniences and we would definitely stay here again.

    Overall we had a very nice and relaxing weekend. It was obvious that significant amounts have been spent on repairs and upgrades to the exterior of the property, stairs, decks, boathouse and pier. Unfortunately the interior has been somewhat neglected. Areas of heavy paint chipping, rotten areas around windows, missing sun screen on the north west side bay facing window and broken window sill all need repair. Additionally we were not advised that the A/C was locked at 72 degrees and our guest in the back bedroom found it quite hot and difficult to sleep.

    We were very impressed with the property and the whole process went smooth start to finish. I really appreciated all the thoughtful and personal touches and the owner's concern we had everything we needed and we really did and more. Since it was cool when we were there I loved the sun porch with windows you could open and comfy chairs. That was the pups favorite room too as watching the big birds out the windows was a treat for them. Everything was clean, beds comfy, so we were comfortable living there all week, tastefully decorated too. The pier was crazy cool and the best one I have experienced. We will definitely be back when it is warmer so we can use it more. Wonderful host! Ten Stars! (don't tell everybody)
