About this property

Enjoy dinners, sunsets and star gazing from the private dock 200' out on Mobile Bay. Explore the bay with our 2 Kayaks, relax in the Adirondack chairs on the boathouse or fish from the pier after a visit to the Bait shop.
Pets Welcome!
The house has a deck facing the Bay if you want to stay close to the kitchen for snacks and drinks. County Road 1 offers quiet walks in the morning and the marsh wildlife waking up offers an incredible experience of sights and sounds.
Fairhope's quaint downtown is 11 miles North, convenient but far enough to keep the city lights from drowning out the magnificent night sky. The beaches of Gulf Shores are a 35-minute drive South, or head North for the city lights of Mobile at about the same distance.

The property is located south of Windy Point and is a perfect location to enjoy your morning cup of coffee and a late afternoon beverage while enjoying the sunset!

Classic Mobile Bay Experience

This is a very nice property in great condition on the shore of Mobile Bay. It's a very comfortable house for 6-7 folks depending on ages and it has a dock that is very well maintained with comfortable chairs for relaxing and enjoying the great sunsets. Communication with the host was excellent and very prompt. We have family in the area and rent occasionally when everyone is in town because we need the extra room. It's nice to find a place on the bay where we can experience what the bayfront has to offer. I would rent here again without question. Thank you for a great stay!

Kayak at the Bay

We had a wonderful time at Kayak at the Bay! We spent a lot of time out on the dock fishing and spending time together as a family. We caught several trout and catfish with the help of our friends down at the Fishermen’s Discount. Thanks to the fully stocked kitchen we were able to cook most of our dinners, but we did enjoy eating at Kraver’s Seafood in Daphne and Another Broken Egg Cafe in Fairhope. Make sure to stop by Fairhope Soap Company while you’re visiting and pick up some local soaps and bath-bombs for the kiddos! We are very thankful for Mr. Douglas’s hospitality while we were down visiting Fairhope. He was always very prompt on answering questions and providing recommendations. All in all we had a wonderful end of the summer vacation at Kayak at the Bay!

Great fishing spot

We enjoyed our stay at this waterfront property! The house was clean and well-stocked with essentials. The dock and boathouse were incredible and where we spent most of our time. The sunsets and breeze from the bay are most enjoyable. The host was responsive and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.

Most beautiful view!

First the view is absolutely amazing! Nothing but water for miles.Douglas was very responsive and immediately replied within minutes if I had a question. The house is very cozy and was perfect my family. We hosted Thanksgiving with a few extended family and the kitchen was well equipped for me to make my pies and rolls. The beds were comfortable and all appliances worked perfectly. One point for anyone that didn’t fully read the description like me- there is no cable. However- they have all the typical apps you can sign into like Netflix and Hulu etc. we didn’t really need the tv except on thanksgiving and were able to watch football with our Hulu login. We will certainly stay here again and hated leaving so soon!

Great Weekend Escape

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. We had her brother and his wife, her sister and her husband, visit us while we were there and it was a great accommodation for our family visiting time together. The house was immaculate and the pier a dream. We will definitely book again at our next available free time. Thanks again for making our stay so warm, comfortable and memorable.

Relaxation is the Key!!

We truly enjoyed our stay. Watching the sunset from the dock was so relaxing as was reading a book on the porch. My grandchildren got a blast watching the dolphins play each morning and setting the crab traps in the evening. Our host Douglas was very accommodating, and his communication was excellent. I highly recommend it.

Cozy Stay by the Bay

The house was very clean and comfortable—the master bed and bath was especially nice. The open kitchen had all the amenities for cooking and we like the open floor plan. Our favorite thing while visiting was to hang out on the lovely pier. Our kids enjoyed fishing and kayaking. The location is perfectly situated to go into Foley and down to Gulf Shores and the beach or up shopping in Fairhope. We would love to plan another trip to come stay here again!

Beautiful place.

This was a very nice place .Everything was clean and worked perfectly.Manager made sure we knew he was just a call away. The water is muddy and shallow but we did get a Stingray and some catfish off of their dock . They even had a fish cleaning station and rods for those who don’t bring their own . Extra perk. The town of Fairhope was beautiful. Some of the businesses were in houses and it gave the area a homey feel . Great idea .I was really impressed. The French Quarter shopping area is always fun to walk and shop at . Arts exhibits, antique’s ,small specialty stores all very quaint .Something there for everyone I’m sure . Don’t miss it if your in the area. This was my third time I’ve been to Fairhope but the first time I’ve stayed here .My husband and I had a great experience .

About the host

Hosted by Douglas

I was born and raised at sea level on the Delaware Bay, my dad steamed blue crabs we caught in the Little River outside Little Creek. Found my way to Colorado with my career and experienced adventures up to 14,000 feet above sea level. I have now made my way back to an adventure that includes blue crabs and salt water without the snow!

Why they chose this property

With the metro area of Mobile, AL and the city attractions it provides 30 miles away to the North and the Gulf Coast beaches 28 miles to the South we are located on the Bay with herons, gulls cormorants, pelicans, mocking birds and a dark night sky that reveals glories every night. The sunsets off the dock rival any I've seen in my travels and there is the lapping of the bay on the bulkhead at night to rock you into slumber.
