About this property

Waterfront, Dock, Boat House, Lift, Sleeps 10, Lux

The Honey House is river life at it's finest!! It comfortably sleeps 10-12 people and is pet friendly!! You will love the peaceful serenity and beautiful views of Fish River from the moment you arrive. This spacious 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is the place you will want to be if you are looking for fishing, boating, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing on the river! We supply the kayaks and you bring your boat! You will have a place to launch your boat and a private boat slip for the duration of your stay. This prime Fish River location gives you access to some of the best fishing for redfish, speckle trout, bass, bream, crappie and flounder. We are just minutes from beautiful downtown Fairhope where you will find unique boutique shopping and casual to fine dining. The Grand Hotel is also very close where you can enjoy spa treatments or golfing and several restaurants. The large new deck has plenty of room for you to enjoy sunning and being with your family! It also has an upstairs screened-in boathouse over the boat slip to catch the breathtaking sunsets with bar seating and a large screen TV that is great for watching football or whatever your favorite sport is!


This house was recently renovated with all new stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and a built-in chop block countertop. The kitchen is fully furnished with new cookware, all of the small appliances you will need, a separate coffee/tea bar and a wine bar. We have several comfortable dining spaces, inside and outside, for our guests as well as TV trays if you need more.


The house has new furnishings, as well as a few unique vintage pieces. We have smart TVs in the living room, all bedrooms and the outdoor boathouse, with a satellite system and WI-FI. The master bedroom has a great view of the river with it's outside deck directly off the bedroom!! It also has an en suite bathroom with a walk-in closet. The queen bedroom has a great view of the quaint courtyard with the most beautiful 200+ year old oak tree and flower garden. The nautical bunkroom has 2 sets of bunks and a large bean bag with a queen mattress inside that can be set up anywhere in the house. The living room is furnished with a new sectional and a queen sleeper sofa. This room also opens directly onto the upstairs deck and has panoramic river views!!

We have a cargo-lift for easy loading and unloading of your luggage, groceries and/or anyone who isn't able to take the stairs. There are foosball and ping pong tables, kayaks, corn hole and board games for everyone to enjoy. The downstairs area has a charming gold fish pond with a small waterfall, a twin sized swing bed (yes, you can sleep outside if you want!) a grilling station and an outdoor refrigerator for your beverages and/or extra groceries. The half bath is also located in the downstairs area. There is parking for at least 6-8 cars and we have a space to keep your boat trailer.

Perfection!

Our family of 9 needed a space for being out of State for our son's wedding. The Honey House was absolutely perfect! The amenities met needs of kids and adults. Comfortable rooms and beds, equipped for every need, the dock and being so close to the water brought a serene feeling. The outdoor space was amazing. From the ping pong table to kayaks, and the lily pad float for the little kids it was just wonderful. I've never had a host as wonderful as Babette with her personal touches and communication. It also was very easy to find stores and shopping and an easy ride to down town Fairhope. This place was truly perfection!

Best Vrbo Ever!

I have stayed in many rentals over the years, but Babbie’s Honey House takes the cake as the best Vrbo ever! From the amazing dock to comfy beds, giant hang out spots outside as well as in, to the great communication with the host, this stay was amazing! The photos do not do the house justice - it is very large with plenty of common spaces and spots for everyone to sit and enjoy. Next time we’re in Mobile, we will be staying here again. Thank you!

Amazing VRBO Experience

I was so impressed by the wonderful communication of the host, Babette. Miss Babette, went above and beyond answering questions and making suggestions for our first time stay in Fairhope. This made all the difference in the world! It's was so nice to have a host that truly cared about every aspect of our trip and making sure that we were happy and satisfied. We can't wait to book another trip to the Honey House and we will recommend it to all of our friends too! We would give the host 10 stars if possible!!! Thanks so much for being so kind and sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Beautiful River View Home

My family and I stayed at The Honey House for the Thanksgiving week. We had a fabulous stay. The house is on a beautiful river with beautiful views. The house has EVERYTHING you could possibly need. And the location to the little town of Fairhope was just a short drive. The owner of the home, Babbie was very accommodating and lovely. I would definitely recommend staying at The Honey House to anyone.

Weekend gataway

The river house was perfect for a weekend away. It had everything we needed. Very clean, cozy, and stocked with all necessities. My husband and son fished most of the weekend. My favorite thing was watching the football games on the screened in deck area with the beautiful sun sets. My son loved the foosball and ping pong tables (and feeding the goldfish). Babbie was the best host ever. We came in late and she met us at the house with the lights on. You can not get any better than that. Will defiantly stay again.

Great place for making memories

On a rare occasion we were able to get all 4 adult sons together with their spouses for a small vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Honey Home. Everything we needed was available to make it the perfect place including a boat lift. My wife has limited mobility and the lift made it so she could have ease of access to the house.

Our best trip ever!

We come down here every year to spend time with family & this year was the best because of this house! We have a lot of family that live in the area & they all came to visit /meet the new member of our family. The house itself is cozy & clean. We ate dinner, played games & watched movies every night & everybody was comfortable & relaxed because there's so much space! During the day we swam & used the big blue mat in the water & it was so fun! There is also a ton of stuff to do & restaurants nearby. Babbie & her husband were awesome hosts. The house has any & everything we could've possibly wanted or needed for our stay. Fully stocked kitchen. Towels, board games, cards, TVs everywhere, a first aid kit & more! Very thoughtful & caring. We will definitely be coming back next year (hopefully sooner!) We created some beautiful memories & special moments here... This house is just perfect! Directly on the water. Beautiful yard. Gorgeous home. Thank y'all for letting us stay!

****ABSOLUTELY AMAZING****

We've booked a lot of VRBO's and this is by far the BEST! The hosts were so kind and attentive. We were there for a baseball tournament. My son had a birthday during the tournament, and not only did the hosts get him a gift, they asked if they could do anything for our team birthday get-together. This home is perfect, beautiful, and super clean with an awesome outdoor area. The boys (big and small!) loved swimming and fishing. We are already looking at future dates to book. I would recommend anyone to book this place quickly - you won't regret it! You won't find a better place on the water or hosts! I wish I could give this one 100 stars! (My son even left a shirt and the host is shipping it to me)!

Peaceful Fairhope Vacation

Of all the hosts, Babbie and her husband were the most exceptional and we have had all five star hosts at all previous properties. Not only is the home and grounds absolutely gorgeous, the home was spotless. The neighborhood is so peaceful and perfect. We are a family that loves to be outdoors and the river, the patio, the boat house, and the deck afforded us the opportunity to relax outside and enjoy the peace and serenity of the setting. My boys fished and my girls not only enjoyed sunbathing but also running and biking. There was a lilypad for us to float on and kayaks to take out on the river. If you have a boat, bring it as the launch is just next door and a boat slip for you to use the entire trip. We caught both small and large mouth bass right off the deck and enjoyed a beautiful boat road down Fish River. The property is within minutes of The Grand Hotel where we spent one afternoon. Our family could not have had a better weekend and we have already booked a return stay. Thank you for making this weekend a wonderful experience.

FANTASTIC home & location!

We just left after staying the week of Christmas. The home is AMAZING, and the location on the river can’t be beat. The downstairs outside is a perfect place to hang out and love the boathouse with its own tv! Bibeette and John are the kindest and most thoughtful owners we have met in our travels. Communication is outstanding and it’s obvious their goal is to ensure those that stay have a perfect getaway. Recommend HIGHLY!

The most wonderful staycation!

Our family and I decided on a quick staycation getaway as we have never stayed on Fish River before. Words cannot describe how wonderful the Honey house is! The attention to detail and the beauty and charm exceeded expectations. The photos don’t do it justice! It sits peacefully on a beautiful part of the river and we were able to enjoy coffee on the porch in the morning and a nice glass of wine while watching football games outside in the evening. The children loved jumping in the river, kayaking, and building such sweet memories. The owners of this property thought of everything from a foosball table to a downstairs access bathroom to smart TVs throughout the home. If you want to stay on the river in style this place is a must!
