Excellent host - we've stayed here multiple times and its always a favorite. Beautiful, classic bay home with a great wharf. Thanks for being a great host!
While in Fairhope for a wedding, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crepe Myrtle. The property was as described and we were fortunate to see a beautiful sunset every evening. The home is very charming and I highly recommend it.

Ann and I are so glad that y’all enjoyed Crepe Myrtle and hope y’all can come back soon.
Thank you
Our family of four gathered here after Christmas. The house was beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed. The three king sized beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the sunsets each evening. The glass porch was wonderful for coffee and games. We hope to return again soon. The house was clean and the furniture comfortable.

Thank you for your kind comments. We strive to keep our home in top shape and we’re so glad you noticed!
Sunsets on the bay are our speciality! Please come again!
We loved spending our Thanksgiving at this beautiful home on the bay! Cozy beds for sleeping, a kitchen stocked with all the things needed to prepare Thanksgiving, great neighborhood for taking long walks and the perfect wharf for watching sunset. We loved our time on Mobile Bay!
We had a tranquil 4 days on Mobile bay. The family time was wonderful. This house beautiful and well equipped. We shopped at the nearby Publix and prepared all our meals there. Grilled swordfish and risotto and fresh veggies one night. We enjoyed it so much!

About the host
Hosted by Ann Gunter
Crepe Myrtle has been our family retreat for more than 40 years. We have spent our summers here raising 2 children to love the Eastern Shore life style and we are now sharing the experience with our 7 grandchildren. The house is perfect for that family reunion or for our Northern friends wanting to escape the winter's cold. There is nothing to compare to the warmth and charm of nearby Fairhope or a visit to the historic Grand Hotel, just 4.6 miles away, or dine and shop in charming Fairhope. Indulge in shopping at the nearby Foley Outlet stores, or just stretch your legs on the wide walking and biking path out your back door. Practice your swing at any of the many nearby Robert Trent Jones golf courses.
