Best vacation of our lives...

After a long summer of recovery and rebuilding from the April 27th tornado, our stay at Fish Haven was just what we needed. The location is so beautiful and peaceful and the sunsets were breathtaking. We left the house briefly only 2 times in 5 days. We spent all our time relaxing on the deck or fishing on the dock. We've been visiting the Alabama coast for over forty years, and this trip was our favorite by far. Dauphin Island is a very special place and its so great not to be surrounded by high rise condos. All our future trips to the coast will definitely be spent at Fish Haven. Thanks John for a perfect vacation!
Owner response:I am glad to have been a part of your "recovery". Come back anytime. John

Just returned from our 2nd visit to Fish Haven, celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary( Sept.15th - 18th 2011). Clean, comfortable, and so relaxing !! Dolphins put on a show for us, jumping in and out of the water. They must have known it was our anniversary!!! ( LOL ).Awesome sunsets, and house is perfectly situated for a beautiful view of the Dauphn Island bridge. Sitting on the deck, the dock, or in the house, looking out at the water, you just can't ask for anything better !! ( AND very nice neighbors )... See you again John, and thank you so much for sharing your house....
Owner response:After 28 years of being married the least I could do was convince the Dolphins to put on the show. Thanks for the kind words. Come back for the next 28 years and celebrate on the Island. John

Our recent stay (Aug 6-10, 2011) was wonderful! The house is very nice and comfortable with all the necessities available. This was our first visit to Dauphin Island. We absolutely loved the views being situated directly on the water and sunsets were breathtaking. Although our fishing experience was not as successful as previous reviews, we did catch some interesting fish and a good number of crabs. The owner allowed for great communication and even stopped by during our visit to check on our needs. He went to town and bought a new crab trap for our use. Thanks John! We would highly recommend this house to anyone who wants to fish, relax and enjoy the water. Great experience!
Owner response:Glad you had a great time. This is a very special place and folks don't understand until they have experienced the sunsets a few days. Thanks for your comments and hope to see you again. John

Stayed 6-19/6-24. Kids (10 to 13) had a blast fishing from the dock. Caught many different kinds of fish from rays to sharks. Caught crabs with the traps provided. Ladder now allows swimming from dock. Owner checked to make sure there were no problems. Hope to come back.
Owner response:I am glad everyone had a great time. Dauphin Island is a very special place and "Fish Haven" is happy to be part of it. Welcome back anytime and thanks for the kind comments. John

My husband and I just returned home from staying at this vacation rental and I cant say enough good things about it, we LOVED IT! We caught between 80 and 100 various different types of fish just sitting on the dock! The house was just perfect for us and our small dogs. The beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed.The owners were very easy to work with and make staying here such an easy process. We look forward to coming back this summer and probably the fall too!
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words and glad the fish cooperated. Please come back anytime!

We visited the Island in June 2009 with great experiences. When you are setting at the table looking out over the water you feel like you are on a house boat with-out the movement of the boat! Yes the sunrise and sets are breathtaking.Took pictures of both,and the Dolphins were swimming out in the bay not to far away from the dock. Fished right of the dock and caught Whiting,Stingray,Blue Crabs,Stone Crabs,and two Eels. You can be walking on the beach in just a couple of minutes from this house. After you play the day away you can set in the cool comfy house and watch the HD TV direct satellite system. Dreamy!!!! Thanks for the Fun and always answering my emails. Betty and Tim from Calhoun,Ga.
