Celeste’s 60 th birthday
It was a group of women that I’ve been lifelong friends celebrating a 60th birthday of one of them. It was a fabulous weekend with lots of fun love and laughter. The house was perfect for our group and we enjoyed it thoroughly.

Another Week in Paradise
Another relaxing week at Crepe Myrtle!! Second time there, and as before, I was not disappointed! It was a beautiful week .Very quiet. Loved sitting on the wharf, and the only sound you hear is the water lapping on the piers, the birds splashing into the water and an occasional airplane going over! Thanks for sharing your special place with us! and

CHARM GALORE ON THE BAY
Our second time to stay at the Crype Myrtle and loved it just as much this time. Charming, BEAUTIFUL bay views, clean as can be and well appointed. Even though it was a little rainy this trip, we still enjoyed the private, peaceful surroundings and were able to sit outside in the rain at the covered boathouse and watch the dolphins. It never disappoints. Our FAV!!!

Beautiful setting
Our stay was very comfortable and we loved the evening sunsets. You couldn’t ask for a nicer setting. There are lots of nice places inside and outside the house to lounge. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. Highly recommend.

Great Stay in Fairhope, Alabama
We had a wonderful time. Beautiful property. Everything we needed was there. To cap it off on our last night as we were watching sunset on the dock, a pod of 12-15 dolphins came in at sunset really shallow and gave us a spectacular show. It was divine.

Family vacation
Dream vacation. Brought back memories of my childhood stays on the bay. We were close enough to our home that family took turns staying with us because we are a family of 19. The kids all had so much fishing and crabbing and having a big ole slumber party! Wonderful weather! The back windows on the porch are actually sliding doors so we got to open them and hear the sounds of the bay and all the birds! So soothing. The cost was the only negative. This was probably a once in a lifetime vacation for us. Hard for the average person to afford.

Perfect Place for a Warm September!
Crepe Myrtle is the perfect place to experience the casual lifestyle 'over the Bay' from Mobile, AL. The home works great for guests and family to spend time together. We particularly enjoyed the sunsets on the wharf, biking up and down Scenic 98, boating on the Bay, and the many fabulous restaurants in the area. Fairhope, AL is the friendliest place on earth!

Sister’s birthday getaway
When you walk In this beautiful,comfortable,inviting, cozy home. You just have that (at home feeling). House beautifully decorated and the views are amazing from the sunroom. A very quite place to relax and sip on some coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the afternoon watching the birds dive in the water. We will go back again. So much room for a large group. The owners are very nice and responds quickly if needed. Book this lovely house, you will not be disappointed.

My two sisters and I are in our 70’s and wanted to have a relaxing getaway and that is exactly what we got at this beautiful cottage on the water. It was so nicely decorated and the beds were super comfortable. We may try to come back again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Gunter

Host profile image
Crepe Myrtle has been our family retreat for more than 40 years. We have spent our summers here raising 2 children to love the Eastern Shore life style and we are now sharing the experience with our 7 grandchildren. The house is perfect for that family reunion or for our Northern friends wanting to escape the winter's cold. There is nothing to compare to the warmth and charm of nearby Fairhope or a visit to the historic Grand Hotel, just 4.6 miles away, or dine and shop in charming Fairhope. Indulge in shopping at the nearby Foley Outlet stores, or just stretch your legs on the wide walking and biking path out your back door. Practice your swing at any of the many nearby Robert Trent Jones golf courses.
