Charming Home on Fish River - Perfect for you Family!

Nestled among the trees along peaceful Fish River, this hand-crafted home combines rustic charm with state-of-the-art amenities.

Imagine fun-filled days on the river swimming, fishing, bird-watching, relaxing on the two docks, or kayaking. Two adult kayaks and one child kayak are available at the house for your enjoyment. Spend a leisurely afternoon kayaking down the river and perhaps making a stop at Big Daddy's Restaurant for a yummy bite or a sweet tea or a cold beer.

Back at the house, relax on the large covered deck and enjoy the view of boats going by. Up for some games? Try playing air hockey or foosball in the game room. A selection of board games is also available. Unless of course the comfortable living room couches and television are calling your name after a day of river activities.

As the sun goes down, fire up the grill and indulge in an outdoor feast on the deck or prepare a delicious dinner in the updated kitchen. Kitchen has state-of-the-art appliances and plenty of counter space which make cooking a dream. Plus, there is a spacious eating area next to the kitchen if you prefer to dine outdoors.

Beach towns of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are nearby, as well as the quaint town of Fairhope. Fish River Hideaway is centrally located between Fairhope, Foley, Gulf Shores, and Magnolia Springs.

Hope to see you soon on your next riverfront getaway!

Great weekend stay!
We enjoyed our stay on Fish River and the cabin was perfect for our family! The deck was nice and large and had a peaceful view of the river. The kitchen was nicely stocked with lots of pots and pans and even extras like cooking spray and seasonings which we had forgotten :) There was plenty of parking, and the A/C and heater worked fantastic upstairs and downstairs! Location was perfect- only 20 minutes to downtown Fairhope. Thank you for hosting us!

Beautiful, spacious house with lovely view and dock
My son and I came to town for a long weekend and this house was exactly what the doctor ordered. It was clean and well-appointed. The view from the back porch is spectacular, the kayaks were clean and ready to go and the dock was a lovely place to hang out at the end of the day.

Temperature issues
Upon arrival the temperature in the property was over 90 degrees. Unacceptable. It took 8 hours to cool to 74 degrees. There was a Nest thermostat that the host had no access to, also unacceptable. Why have a remote access thermostat if you are not going to use it to provide for you guests comfort. Second issue upon arrival, the Internet was off, had to unplug the modem and router to get it going. Otherwise it was a nice rustic property, in a somewhat iffy neighborhood. Well stocked kitchen. There is a Keurig and a Mr. Coffee. There is a blanket chest the end the bed with a missing foot, kind of dangerous should someone sit on it. Probably won't return to this place.

Staycation
We live in Baldwin County so this property was very convenient for us to stay and have family and friends visit. The river is always a great place to enjoy causal time with friends and family.

Small steps to increase comfort
Upon arrival the AC was completely off and the house was 92 degrees. Took the house 4+ hours to be livable. The front door sticks and hard to open especially when arriving late and dark. Master shower had hair in it and not properly clean.

Fun & Comfortable River Trip on a Budget
We had a fun family get-together at this rental and would stay here again! The house offered plenty of room for our family of six (ages 18-60). We spent most of the time fishing and kayaking on the river, grilled out a couple of nights, and enjoyed the large upper deck and hot tub. We were lucky enough to see two dolphins coming up the river one morning! We also visited Tom Jones Pottery, downtown Fairhope, the Weeks Bay estuary museum, and Jesse's Restaurant in Magnolia Springs during our stay. While there was a musty smell in the house, it wasn't a big deal for us and we brought scented candles after reading other reviews. We did have to purchase some extra necessities from the nearby Dollar General, which was our only big suggestion for improvement. We couldn't find extra trash bags, there were only two dishwasher pods (we needed to run the dishwasher once a day since we cooked a lot), there wasn't a general kitchen cleaner for tidying after cooking (only Windex), and we ran out of toilet paper in the downstairs bathroom. We may bring some extra things from home next time. But overall, we really enjoyed our stay!
