About this property

Large Family Friendly Mobile Bay Home Near Shopping, Dining and Grand Hotel.

Crepe Myrtle is a charming traditional 'old Mobile Bay home'. It is located on Mobile Bay and has been our family retreat for over 30 years. Located 4.5 miles past the Grand Hotel and about 12 minutes from Fairhope, it is close to shopping and restaurants. The approx. 3000 sq.ft fully air-conditioned and heated house includes a large glassed-in porch stretching across the front of the house offering waterfront views with spectacular sunsets. Sit on the outdoor front patio under the old Live Oak trees or take a stroll out on the pier to swim, fish or crab off the deck. We have 100 feet on the bay with a large manicured front and back yard. Chose from multiple spots within the house for sitting or dining or just getting away from it all. Six flat screen TVs are scattered throughout the house. Steaming TV via Internet, wi-fi, and telephone available. The fully equipped, newly renovated kitchen with granite counter tops, includes a refrigerators, dishwasher, new convection double ovens, new disposal, gas cook top, toaster oven, microwave, and many small appliances. Washer and dryer located in laundry room off the kitchen. The three bedrooms have 2 king beds, 1 queen bed, and 7 twins are located on the sleeping porch. The master bedroom has a separate bathroom with tub and shower and granite counter top vanities. The guest bathroom has also been newly remodeled with granite counter tops and walk-in shower and is shared by the 2 guest bedrooms. We are very proud of our house and keep it immaculate shape. Unfortunately we are UNABLE TO HOST WEDDINGS, RECEPTIONS, OR OTHER LARGE PARTIES. Occupancy is limited to the 13 registered guests.

Our experience

We had a lovely experience. The home is beautiful and the environment is relaxing. Our group totaled 7 - 1 child and 6 adults. We could have used an additional bathroom, which is something I will consider the next time we all travel together as a family

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!!!

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

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.

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.
