Waterfront Home with Dock!
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.

This is my 2nd stay at this property. The house is clean and comfortably furnished. The pier is a huge asset and a perfect place for sea bird & sunset viewing! Very convenient location. The host is super responsive and provides everything you could need. I hope to return next year.

We stayed 3 nights. The place was clean. Id give it a 7. The bed in master was too soft and definitely needed new pillows and towels for the bathroom. The 4 days we were there we enjoyed immensely. it was great being on the bay. Douglas was very helpful.

The location was very convenient to nearby Fairhope and for a daytrip to Gulfshores, and the property was very comfortable with great views of Mobile Bay. We enjoyed the pier. Wonderful for family.

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!
The house was clean and well maintained! The pier is a great location to spend a relaxing afternoon enjoying the great view of the bay or try your hand at fishing!! Enjoyed our stay!!

Our family was in south Alabama to visit extended family. Staying on the water was a great decision. Our son loved going out on the dock and the home was spacious for our family of four. Douglas was responsive and helpful when we had to make an adjustment to our booking.

We were very impressed with the property and the whole process went smooth start to finish. I really appreciated all the thoughtful and personal touches and the owner's concern we had everything we needed and we really did and more. Since it was cool when we were there I loved the sun porch with windows you could open and comfy chairs. That was the pups favorite room too as watching the big birds out the windows was a treat for them. Everything was clean, beds comfy, so we were comfortable "living" there all week, tastefully decorated too. The pier was crazy cool and the best one I have experienced. We will definitely be back when it is warmer so we can use it more. Wonderful host! Ten Stars! (don't tell everybody)

Booked last minute fleeing the hurricane. We will be back. Owner was super nice and knew we had nowhere to go and let us check in early. My babies both caught their first fish off the dock and the sunsets rival the best Florida sunsets.

This was an excellent property for my sister & I to relax and recharge during a weekend of family birthdays. The house was a perfect size, clean and welcoming. The owner was very responsive. The view of The Bay was outstanding! Great pier! The kayaks were a big hit with my sister and the flat area was perfect for walking and biking. Overall, I rank this house a 5! I’ve already shared the details with other family members and plan to return soon.

Overall we had a very nice and relaxing weekend. It was obvious that significant amounts have been spent on repairs and upgrades to the exterior of the property, stairs, decks, boathouse and pier. Unfortunately the interior has been somewhat neglected. Areas of heavy paint chipping, rotten areas around windows, missing sun screen on the north west side bay facing window and broken window sill all need repair. Additionally we were not advised that the A/C was locked at 72 degrees and our guest in the back bedroom found it quite hot and difficult to sleep.

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.
