About this property

Come enjoy the fabulous sunsets and relaxing atmosphere in this spacious a-frame on the bay! The house is just minutes from the great shopping and dining of the city of Fairhope, but just off the beaten path enough to feel private and secluded! Located on the eastern shore of Mobile bay, the house faces almost due south, meaning refreshing breezes in the summer, but protection from the wind in the winter, making the outdoor weather fabulous year-round!

This house is perfect for vacationing families. The downstairs bedrooms both have King sized beds, while 2 rooms upstairs will sleep lots of kids! The sandy beach is perfect for small children. A snowbird couple would also love this house, as the upstairs need not even be used! The view from the kitchen as you cook is just breathtaking.

There is a public boat ramp just one mile away, so bring your boat for skiing, tubing and fishing on the bay, or for a beautiful ride up the nearby magnolia river to swim in the cold spring waters.

Don't forget to pack your appetite for seafood. When baited, the two crab traps provided catch as many as a dozen crabs a day!

Wonderful stay!

We keep returning to this quiet and restful location. Beautiful sunrises with a resident blue heron wading along the bay edge every morning. Stunning sunsets. Crabcakes and crab linguini from crabs caught using the traps on the deck. An extremely well equipped kitchen. Very responsive owner. A lovely vacation spot all round.

Respite

This provided a perfect getaway for friends from 4 different states. We had not difficulties, finding the property or checking it. The home is clean, comfortably and invited community. The weather could have been better, but a spectacular light show, torrential rain on the tin roof were actually special. We are glad we stayed. A reminder that the coffee pot does not have auto shut off would be good. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place

Very nice place!

My family spent fall break here. You can watch the beautiful sunsets at front porch, catch fish or crabs at personal pier. Fairhope has peaceful downtown, Gulf Shores has white sand beach. Enjoy the fall break very much, will visit again!

Beautiful View and Good Fishing!

We stayed for a family get-together with 6 adults ranging in age from 19-61 and had the best time! The pier offered gorgeous views of the bay. We had fun fishing and relaxing on the porch and pier. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked for our cooking needs. It was a great trip and we'd definitely stay again!

Fantastic and peaceful location

We stayed at this location for one month. I will start with the negatives; upon arriving to this very cute but rustic cottage, there was an unmistakable odor of mildew or “wet basement” if you will. This smell permeated all of our belongings by the time we departed. The front storm door, did not work well and would not close without a lot of manipulation. The furniture inside of the home was very uncomfortable for longer than a couple days stay. The oven was filthy inside and needs a good cleaning. The dock is in major disrepair and I would say not safe if you are not a fit adult. There are deck boards that are broken as well as nails sticking out in some places. On a positive note, We found the beds to be very comfortable and the kitchen and linens well supplied. All in all an okay stay if you plan on a short one, if only for the location, but this cabin is in a state of disrepair and in need of some TLC.

Cute place!!

Great little place with gorgeous views. The kids loved the “kids bedroom” and the other bedrooms were perfect for the adults. The living area/kitchen was a nice size for a big group. We loved being on the water. The long pier was nice to hang out on, and we were able to paddleboard and kayak right from the shore. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful stay

I stayed at a lovely accommodation for three days at a very reasonable price. The view from the place was fantastic, and the heater and hot water worked well. It was winter, but the weather was good enough to use the kayaks in the sea. I want to return to this place for my summer vacation.
