We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend at this beautiful home! We were in town for a wedding, and it was so nice to be able to spend time with family throughout the weekend. The house was so comfortable and stocked with everything we needed, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful!

Relaxing

This house was absolutely as advertised. It was very quiet and relaxing and a great place to spend time with family. The bedrooms were large enough to be comfortable and the deck overlooking the water was great.

A merry Christmas

Spent Christmas at rest & reel & it was perfect! The house was decorated for Christmas too which was a festive surprise! The house is beautifully decorated all throughout. There were 2 families of 4 in our group who shared the space & it was perfect! The gem of this property is the deck that overlooks the Fish River! It’s huge & fantastic. The private dock at ground level is also nice and our kids enjoyed fishing off it every day! And Tina & her team are very responsive and handled any questions we had within minutes! If we come back to Fairhope this will be a must stay at again!

Mr.

This was the second time we stayed at Rest & Reel and it was excellent. we particularly enjoyed being on the porch after coming in from fishing and before going out to dinner. Only problem we noticed was the door to the small BR upstairs will not close.

The house was clean and beautiful. The riverside location was so relaxing. We were able to easily get to downtown Fairhope for shopping and dining, but also felt secluded. The entire experience was great!

Perfection

We had the most wonderful weekend for my family while I attended a conference at the Grand Hotel. All the luxury and peace and quiet. Kids had a wonderful time fishing and swimming in the river. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. It was stocked with all sorts of bonus details in the bathrooms and kitchen. We will definitely stay again!

Relaxing and well appointed

We had a fabulous time at this property with our friends and family while we were in Fairhope for a wedding. The property was pristine and had everything that we needed to enjoy meals together while giving everyone their own space to relax and unwind. Having the Fish River in our backyard was an added bonus and only added to the tranquility. Tina was an amazing host and checked in with us on the first day to make sure we had everything we needed -such a nice touch! We will definitely be back!
