About this property

Sandy Beach, gorgeous sunsets, great front porch view!

Come enjoy the fabulous sunsets and relaxing atmosphere in this spacious a-frame on the bay! The house is just minutes from the great shopping and dining of the city of Fairhope, but just off the beaten path enough to feel private and secluded! Located on the eastern shore of Mobile bay, the house faces almost due south, meaning refreshing breezes in the summer, but protection from the wind in the winter, making the outdoor weather fabulous year-round!

This house is perfect for vacationing families. The downstairs bedrooms both have King sized beds, while 2 rooms upstairs will sleep lots of kids! The sandy beach is perfect for small children. A snowbird couple would also love this house, as the upstairs need not even be used! The view from the kitchen as you cook is just breathtaking.

There is a public boat ramp just one mile away, so bring your boat for skiing, tubing and fishing on the bay, or for a beautiful ride up the nearby magnolia river to swim in the cold spring waters.

Don't forget to pack your appetite for seafood. When baited, the two crab traps provided catch as many as a dozen crabs a day!

Loved our stay! The view was amazing. The sandy beach was the perfect size for my 2 year old to play. The living room area was larger than the photos made it seem. A really nice, unique house. Fairhope downtown was about 20 minutes away but a very charming and worthwhile drive to make.

We loved the cabin, the view, and the community! We found the bed hard, and wished a few things (like the refrigerator and wall around the bathroom sink) had been a little cleaner. Communication and check in were great. We will recommend it to others.

Beautiful location! Very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed bringing our dog (Boston Terrier) and were tickled that there was also another Boston at the neighboring house. The furnishings and appliances are basic and older, but functional. We would stay here again.

A wonderful location with a very responsive host. The neighborhood is quiet and excellent for walking. There are many morning walkers! The view is gorgeous. I appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. Everything needed for cooking and baking is there. We had three delicious crab cake dinners with crab from the traps on the dock and froze enough for three more dinners at home. Brought home multiple frozen fish dinners too from fishing off the dock. Already booked this lovely place for next year!

We loved the open kitchen-living space that looks right out on the Bay. Plenty of couch space and a long kitchen island with stools. We also walked the full-length pier where others fish. The kitchen had all we needed. The beds were comfy. And the washer-dryer was easy to use. A great getaway.
