Reviewer Comments: We were able to rent this cottage on short notice due to an unexpected funeral in Fairhope. Appreciated Vivian's (property manager) helpfulness. When the bathroom faucet exploded, she was very prompt in getting it replaced. Really liked the private out-of-the-way location although GPS had trouble locating the correct way to get there.

Our stay at this rustic cottage was nice and relaxing. It’s location is ideal as it’s off the beaten path, close to the waterfront of Mobile Bay, great restaurants, and downtown Fairhope.

Beautiful, quiet setting close to Mobile Bay
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Porch Lane now 4 times. The location in Point Clear for a couple is ideal. The amenities are good, but the convertible sofa and chairs in the sitting area keep it from being excellent. They should be updated, since the cost has increased each time we stayed for a week. The add on fees for cleaning, admin and credit card charges plus taxes have made this less than the good deal this was just 3 years ago.

Cabin F
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was great. Good location, clean, good size, well stocked kitchen. The screened back porch was excellent! A great place to spend a rainy day reading! Two things I would suggest:1. Add more lights in the living room, with such dark walls the room is very dark.2. Fix the deadbolt lock on the back screened in back porch, most of the time I couldn't get the door locked. When I arrived Wednesday after the dead bolt was not locked

Finding the property was a challenge, especially in the dark and the listing does not provide any help in locating and typing the address in Google leads down the wrong road, otherwise house was clean and nice.

Reunion weekend
For the third year, we were so happy to be able to rent this property for a daughter who has elderly dogs who cannot be left behind but whom we cannot let miss our annual family reunion. This cottage is convenient to The Grand, where the reunion takes place, cute, comfortable, and just the perfect size. (And some of us enjoy using it to take a quiet little break from all the reunion fun!)

August 2022 Stay
Our stay here was wonderful. The cabin was well kept and beautiful on the inside. Nice and quiet area. Exactly what we were looking for on this trip (5 nights in August). However, we did have to concerns. As soon as we arrived to cabin on the first afternoon, we noticed that the deadbolt to porch from bedroom did not lock. We called to report it but nobody came during our visit to repair. Another thing, we loved the seclusion of the cabin but there needs to be gravel put down in area for parking. It did rain on and off on our trip. This made for a lot of mess on car and shoes. So, I highly suggest that if you notice rain in the forecast for your trip that you do not drive a car that sits low to ground like we did (mustang). Should’ve drive Jeep like originally planned.

Point Clear stay clearly gets full points
This was our second stay at Porch Lane Cottage F in less than 12 months and we have already booked our stay for next spring. If you’re looking for a private and quiet vacation spot that is a short trip to many fine dining and shopping locations as well as beaches, fishing charters and other entertainment venues….this could be a great choice, just for the two of you. Located at the end of a lane in wooded seclusion off Scenic Highway 98, there is no noisy neighbors and loud partying late at night. We spent time shopping and dining in Fairhope, took two trips to the beaches at Gulf Shores, enjoyed two fishing charters with Reel Gypsy Fishing from Fort Morgan, took a day trip to Dauphin Island to shop, dine and swim at the beaches there. The cottage was rustic, but well maintained and clean with comfortable furnishings. We had great communication with the property managers throughout the entire process from beginning to end. The dollar value for that area was excellent. Thank you, Gulf 2 Beach and VRBO, for helping to make our stay a memorable one.
