Weekend
This is a perfect spot for a weekend getaway for one or two people. I wanted to watch the waters of Mobile Bay and relax to celebrate my birthday. I achieved my goal. The highlight of my visit was watching the playful antics of a pod of dolphins at the end of the property's pier. The room itself was clean and comfortably furnished. Check-in and check-out were simple and quick. The hosts were accommodating, mailing me an item I left by mistake. I will make an effort to stay here again.

Just perfect
I am a homeschooling grandma and my daughter sends me somewhere every year for planning the next school year. This was just perfect. Very comfortable, quiet, and a beautiful view. I very much enjoyed the pier. It was a perfect stay with everything I needed. Thank you!

Clean, easy access, great location with beautiful private dock. The room is small but very clean, quaint and quiet. It’s a great place to stay if you enjoy the area would be comfortable with having one bed with a shower and bathroom in the same room like an open ceiling stall or out house.

Robert

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The studio was small and cheaply done. Misleading as the property description states it has a kitchen. In reality it has a small/ loud refrigerator, small microwave and even smaller toaster oven. Oh and a coffee maker. No actual pots/ pans/ dishes/ metal flatware/ etc. The area is nice and would have gotten a much better review if it weren't for the fraudulent practice of there's rules you must sign that you won't see until IT'S TOO LATE FOR A REFUND. They don't want you to have alcohol or kids on their dock while you've surrounded by several adjacent docks full of children and grownups having adult beverages.

The property had a beautiful view. I saw dolphins in the early morning hours while sipping coffee freshly made. Very serene. I did hear the guests on the floor above but that did not concern me much as I am an early riser. It would be nice to have local channels on the television as storms can come and go so quickly over the bay.

Why they chose this property

This property is a beautiful modern home on the bay front in a special town (Fairhope). The studio on the ground level is truly remarkable.
