Beautiful bay stay

Mornings and evenings are our favorite times here! In between fun on the pier, paddle boarding (we brought our own) and crabbing makes our family getaway just perfect! We have stayed here for several years and our host is top notch.

This is our “go-to” every time we make a trip to Fairhope which is once or twice a year. We’ve probably stayed at this house 7-8 times. Terri, the hostess, is quick to respond about any questions or needs. The view and sunsets are incredible, and the house is equipped with everything you might need. Including a crab trap! Highly recommend.

Baldwin County Bay Stay

Very close to many activities but far enough away for privacy. The sunrises and sets over the water making for amazing views. Owners are on site and responsive. A repeat stay for us for sure😎

Nice place

Very convenient to the Point Clear and Fairhope areas. Roomy place. Interior could use a little updating, but if you are not going to be spending the entire time in the room, it's very nice for families. We had 4 adults. Good area in the back with a swim dock on the bay. One thing to note: The upstairs is open to the entire area (just one room plus bathroom) including to the downstairs sitting / TV areas) so not much privacy there. Kitchen was fine, not exactly super modern, but functional. We'd definitely like to stay here again.

Great getaway!!

It was a GREAT, quiet location on the water, yard well-kept and fenced for pets with scooper right by the door, and washer/dryer for cleaning clothes, most all kitchen necessities available and ready, very quaint wood floors beach house style interior with brick exterior and 1st and 2nd floor patio overlooking the bay. There is some settling in the home from previous hurricanes that happened causing some sloping in floors, doors that are hard to open and close and some sub par repairs to water damage and settling cracks due to storm years on the gulf. Still a great stay had a great time! Room for pets and outdoorsy kids to play, would recommend for a vaction get away in a quiet BEAUTIFUL area!

Cozy retreat

We loved the location. It’s super quiet. Fairhope is a wonderful little town without all the traffic and crowds. The house had some of the most spectacular sunsets. Everything you need for a quiet getaway, but still a beautiful 20-30 minute drive to Foley and Gulf Shores. I definitely recommend this property and will visit again! And Terri was an awesome host!!

Beautiful bay view

This was our third time at this property. My mom loves it for the view and there are not a lot of steps to climb to get to grass and water areas. My son loves it for the pier and water access. My sisters and I love it for the beautiful view of the water and the cozy house feel. It is the perfect fit for all of us. This house has everything you need and more in the kitchen. Teri is a wonderful host and easy to get a hold of if needed. We have already booked our stay next summer.

Great place to stay ! The Host has thought of everything!

We ( my husband and in-laws) have certain standards/ check list that we want in staying at a vacation home. You have met them all. A/C , comfy mattress and pillows, water pressure in showers, great cooking pans - Diamond pans never heard of them cook great and easy to clean , sharp knives, ropes on the pier to hold onto when walking ( more for my in-laws) Love putting puzzles together. Fishing, sitting on the dock , Stunning Sunsets, Fenced in yard. Perfect for our Aussiedoodle not to run off. Highly recommend!

A Solid B

Very clean, well if not lavishly furnished. Beds very comfortable, property manager friendly and responsive. Kitchen had everything we needed. Only real negative for us as a 70 couple was the downstairs living room furniture, which was old and worn, not terribly comfortable. Two new living room easy chairs would boost our B to an A-!

Beautiful sunsets

We hadn't been to Alabama since COVID, and decided on this VRBO because of the location. We weren't disappointed. The sunsets are spectacular. The area is quiet and in a lovely neighborhood.Close to Fairhope, Foley and Gulf Shores. We were able to enjoy the beach and Mobile Bay.And Mother Nature also let us experience a record snowfall!Our hosts were wonderful and only a message away. We had a memorable time!

A Wonderful Stay

Beautiful surroundings earned this house a second visit for us! November is a transition month for the weather and this location is perfect for a late Fall getaway. Cozy accommodations, comfortable furnishings, and a killer location-this VRBO has it all. We hosted grandkids and their parents and all ages were entertained, Thanks to the owners’ attention to detail, books, puzzles and games are provided and much appreciated. The sunsets are amazing, too!

Scenic Get-Away

This house was very clean, comfortable,and loved the arrangement. So quite this time of year, very scenic, dolphins went by every day. Spent most of time on patio or pier. Terri answered every question I needed to ask quickly. Would definitely come back. Nice fishing there.

Peaceful and relaxing for all of us, including pups

We spent 6 days here, and enjoyed it, and so did the puppies! The fenced in yard was great for the dogs to run around and meet the neighbors dogs, as they walked by! The ability to be on the water is so serene. We got the outer bands of Francine, but it was gone in no time! We used the crab traps and caught a few- but with the storm, we released the large females and the little males back into the bay. Thanks for the opportunity to have our much larger dogs vacation with us, and for your hospitality! We look forward to returning again!

Wonderful Stay

This was our 5th stay at this property and it’s absolutely wonderful every single time. The location is quiet so it’s a great place to relax. It’s roughly only a 10-15 minute drive into Fairhope or just 30 minutes into Gulf Shores so the location is perfect. We definitely will rent again next year.
