Peaceful, perfect getaway!
My husband and I just returned from celebrating our anniversary at the bay house. I cannot say enough great things about the house, the views, the area, and the owner! We arrived at night, so the first thing I noticed was that the house was immaculately clean and cozy. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook dinner. We woke up the next morning to the most beautiful view of the bay, and enjoyed coffee on the large back porch overlooking the water. We saw dolphins swimming past us, and fished off the pier. Watching the sun set at the bay house is incredible. My husband and I agreed we have never seen a prettier view. The owner was very responsive and hospitable. I highly recommend staying here! You will leave feeling relaxed and recharged. Can't wait to go back!

Bay house
We enjoyed our stay! charming little bay house. Our stay would have been much better though if the owners would have upgraded a few things!! The ice maker was not working, The tub drain not working, grass was knee deep and needed cutting therefore I stepped in an ant bed because I couldn’t see it while taking my dog out. , kitchen pots and pans need upgrading, grills were rusted iver and unusable.

Disappointing
Couldn’t go on pier due to unevenness. Couldn’t walk out to covered area on end of pier. Muddy water sitting under house and standing water along driveway. Was afraid I’d get stuck turning car around. Hit head on side of house while trying not to step in mud. No comfortable place to sit on outside deck. House was very old and creepy to me. Drove 7 hours back home next day. Stayed at hotel. Overnight

Quiet Retreat on Mobile Bay
My husband and I found this property to be aptly named, the Charming Bayfront Getaway. We are from Wisconsin and a vacation in balmy Fairhope was exactly what we needed to thaw out! The cottage is ideal and we were able to bring our two small dogs. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the utensils needed to cook just about any meal. The internet was fast. The boat house at the end of the pier was a perfect spot for morning meditation. We even saw a pod of dolphins swim past! I can definitely recommend this lovely cottage!

Wonderful stay on the bay!
We really enjoyed our stay, thank you to Beth! The house was in great shape and our kids really enjoyed the dock. It was great having a gate on the fenced in dock for added piece of mind with young kids. We’ll be back!

Beautiful sunrise and sunset
Great little place a few minutes south of Fairhope. The long pier lets you see a nice sunrise and the sunsets are spectacular over the bay. Well stocked with all the basics. Very clean and comfortable. Easy communications with the owner.

Great stay
Great place to stay! I was visiting family for the 4th so I didn’t spend too much time at the rental. The beds were more comfortable than most rental properties. Strong AC which is important for the summer time in Alabama. Would be nice if they added curtains, especially in the bedrooms since the windows face East and the room gets very bright as soon as the sun comes up.

Enjoyed our trip
The house is charming. Kitchen is very well equipped. Comfortable bed. Property manager was so helpful. Made a special trip to house on Sunday afternoon to get TV working. Unfortunately it was cloudy and very windy so we couldn’t enjoy the deck and outside area which was part of the appeal.

Stayed for a sports tournament in Foley. About 25-30min from our venue. House was great. View and dock were awesome. Wish we got more time to stay at and enjoy the house. We were not there much due to our hectic weekend schedule but would definitely stay again.

Loved the Bay
The best part about this property was the wharf! It was so quiet and peaceful....a perfect place to watch the sunset or read a book. We bought crabs in the crab trap!!! The property manager was wonderful. The grill at the property was old and rusty and only one pot in the kitchen. We called her and a new set of pots was in the kitchen and a new grill was on the porch that same afternoon.. We enjoyed our trip to Fairhope. Just a note to the owner.....The whole house needs new furniture and a deep clean. It would not take a lot of work/money to make the house really cute and comfortable.

About the host

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This quaint cottage is the perfect size for a couple or small family. You can enjoy the bounties of bay life with a pier, crab traps and a 25ft fenced and covered deck at the end of the pier. Enjoy glorious sunsets on our outdoor sofa. We also have a picnic table under the covered deck at the end of the pier and a charcoal grill on the deck near the house. There are two kayaks that are available for exploring the bay.

What makes this property unique

Our pets are part of our family and we are a pet friendly property. With that being said, our furry friends also leave behind evidence of their stay. Please keep in mind that not all guests will be bringing pets. Extra cleaning measures are required to properly clean and remove excess pet hair from the premises before the next guests arrive. There will be a fee to cover the time and expense involved with cleaning up after pets. We appreciate your understanding of this fee.
