Best place on fish river.

The home is gorgeous and has such a peaceful vibe. Kitchen was fantastic - great size and with everything we needed. Docks were wonderful. We swam and kayaked each day. The home is on a beautiful stretch of river. The hosts were so sweet to us and we felt right at home. Perfect location to run up to Big Daddies or to shop in historic Fairhope. Easy parking

Best Vrbo Ever!

I have stayed in many rentals over the years, but Babbie’s Honey House takes the cake as the best Vrbo ever! From the amazing dock to comfy beds, giant hang out spots outside as well as in, to the great communication with the host, this stay was amazing! The photos do not do the house justice - it is very large with plenty of common spaces and spots for everyone to sit and enjoy. Next time we’re in Mobile, we will be staying here again. Thank you!

Great Time on the River

The Honey House was a perfect spot for a get-out-of school weekend with our grandkids! Great Location on the Fish River, perfect for fishing, kayaking, swimming, biking or just relaxing. The property was immaculate, beautifully furnished, thoughtfully equipped, and generously stocked. The owners were terrific and are blessed with a hospitality gene. They did everything in their power to ensure we had everything we needed and had a great time. The boat lift turned out to be a godsend, as we had severe storms and minor flooding while we were there but we we were able to sleep soundly knowing the boat was safely tucked in the boat house well above the water. We plan to return soon!

Beautiful River View Home

My family and I stayed at The Honey House for the Thanksgiving week. We had a fabulous stay. The house is on a beautiful river with beautiful views. The house has EVERYTHING you could possibly need. And the location to the little town of Fairhope was just a short drive. The owner of the home, Babbie was very accommodating and lovely. I would definitely recommend staying at The Honey House to anyone.

Perfection!

Our family of 9 needed a space for being out of State for our son's wedding. The Honey House was absolutely perfect! The amenities met needs of kids and adults. Comfortable rooms and beds, equipped for every need, the dock and being so close to the water brought a serene feeling. The outdoor space was amazing. From the ping pong table to kayaks, and the lily pad float for the little kids it was just wonderful. I've never had a host as wonderful as Babette with her personal touches and communication. It also was very easy to find stores and shopping and an easy ride to down town Fairhope. This place was truly perfection!

Fish River at its finest!!

If you are looking for the perfect relaxing getaway I would 10 out of 10 recommend a Honey house! We had the most wonderful time there enjoying nature and family time. We loved the beautiful sunsets and waking up to a panoramic river view was amazing. The home is completely stocked and we needed nothing but clothes and food! Can’t wait to come visit again!

50th Birthday with Friends on Fish River

This spot is a little slice of Heaven on Fish River! Some friends and I gathered to celebrate our 50th birthdays and we could not have had better accommodations. The home itself is clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need—even a foosball table! The outdoor space is the cherry on top. We lounged in the covered area where there was ample seating to relax and chat. Then we put the lily pad in the water and watched the boats come and go from the launch next door. We were even able to bring our own boat and ride over to Big Daddy’s restaurant in less than 10 minutes. The communication with the host Babbie was FABULOUS. The best I’ve ever had with dozens of online bookings. I would 100% stay at this river paradise again in the future!

Great place for making memories

On a rare occasion we were able to get all 4 adult sons together with their spouses for a small vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Honey Home. Everything we needed was available to make it the perfect place including a boat lift. My wife has limited mobility and the lift made it so she could have ease of access to the house.

Amazing VRBO Experience

I was so impressed by the wonderful communication of the host, Babette. Miss Babette, went above and beyond answering questions and making suggestions for our first time stay in Fairhope. This made all the difference in the world! It's was so nice to have a host that truly cared about every aspect of our trip and making sure that we were happy and satisfied. We can't wait to book another trip to the Honey House and we will recommend it to all of our friends too! We would give the host 10 stars if possible!!!

We just left after staying the week of Christmas. The home is AMAZING, and the location on the river can’t be beat. The downstairs outside is a perfect place to hang out and love the boathouse with its own tv! Bibeette and John are the kindest and most thoughtful owners we have met in our travels. Communication is outstanding and it’s obvious their goal is to ensure those that stay have a perfect getaway. Recommend HIGHLY!

Weekend gataway

The river house was perfect for a weekend away. It had everything we needed. Very clean, cozy, and stocked with all necessities. My husband and son fished most of the weekend. My favorite thing was watching the football games on the screened in deck area with the beautiful sun sets. My son loved the foosball and ping pong tables (and feeding the goldfish). Babbie was the best host ever. We came in late and she met us at the house with the lights on. You can not get any better than that. Will defiantly stay again.

The most wonderful staycation!

Our family and I decided on a quick staycation getaway as we have never stayed on Fish River before. Words cannot describe how wonderful the Honey house is! The attention to detail and the beauty and charm exceeded expectations. The photos don’t do it justice! It sits peacefully on a beautiful part of the river and we were able to enjoy coffee on the porch in the morning and a nice glass of wine while watching football games outside in the evening. The children loved jumping in the river, kayaking, and building such sweet memories. The owners of this property thought of everything from a foosball table to a downstairs access bathroom to smart TVs throughout the home. If you want to stay on the river in style this place is a must!
