The Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay is an ideal getaway spot and "The Little Bayhouse" is the Eastern Shore at its best.

This house embodies that tradition and is one of the few weekend cottages remaining from that simpler time.
The Little Bayhouse is directly on the bay and the stunning views will become memories that will last a lifetime. Enjoy sunbathing, fishing and crabbing during your stay.
The beautiful surroundings are perfect for family stays or for re-discovering that special someone in your life. Be sure to bring your camera-you'll want to save the gorgeous sunsets on the bay. Make "The Little Bayhouse" your personal getaway!

Wonderful Little Bay House!

We had a marvelous time at your bay house! The house is just precious, and has everything one needs to experience a great vacation. We trapped 18 crabs in two days and invited several family members who live in Fairhope to join us for a low country crab and shrimp boil--delicious! Thank you for providing such a terrific vacation spot! We will be returning!

We had a wonderful relaxing week at The Little Bayhouse! Could not have asked for a better place to stay. From catching crabs to just relaxing in the swing on the pier, it was perfect! So, quiet and peaceful, it truly is a great getaway spot. Also, the wonderful stocked kitchen and video library are great extras!. thanks again for a wonderful getaway week.

The house was really cute. Great balcony and obviously the view was gorgeous. We slept 8 people and I never felt cramped. I also enjoyed the fact that everything you needed to fish or crab was available to use by the owner.

Thank you for letting us stay in your darling vacation home! It was our "home away from home" for a month and we loved every minute...you must have ordered the beautiful February weather. Since we love to cook, we were so pleased with the well-equipped kitchen - everything one needed for some delicious seafood dinners with friends. Everything was perfect and we definitely would recommend it to anyone visiting Fairhope for a weekend or a longer stay like we had.

Can't say enough about the Little Bayhouse it was everything it was suppose to be; cozy, clean, beautifully decorated, a great location and a wonderful view. The neighborhood is quite and centrally located to Fairhope and Foley giving visitors plenty to do during the day. Highly recommend Lambert's Restaurant in Foley, Alabama--it's really an experience for everyone. We spent our Thanksgiving vacation there and felt like we were home. We really appreciated all the extra amenities that the owneres provide to make the Little Bayhouse personable and comfortable. We would recommend this place to anyone and look forward to our next stay.

Fabulous Weekend Getaway

My husband and I spent a weekend at the end of July at The Little Bay House with another couple friend and had an absolute ball! The house is super clean, comfortable, and well equipped! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a great meal, and we had the most fun catching crabs with the traps out on the pier as well as fishing! The traps and poles are all set up and ready to go...all you need is bait! Mark was great to bring some extra crab bait to us, and it really worked much better than ours did! We also brought our sea kayaks down with us and had no trouble at all putting them in off the side of the pier and launching from the ladder at the end. It truly is such a relaxing place on the bay and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a layed back time. It's also really close to one of our absolute favorite restaurants, Jesse's, in Magnolia Springs...maybe a 10 minute drive....and it's so close to The Grand Hotel too! Mint Juleps a The Birdcage bar is a must! Many Thanks to The Christians for sharing their glorious spot on the bay with us, and we hope to be returning soon!

An Amazing Experience

My wife and I spent a week at the Little Bayhouse in May. It was an amazing vacation, the weather and temperature were perfect and we could not have asked for a better place to enjoy it all from. A 5-star rating goes out to the owners, Mark Christian Junior and Senior. Mark Senior personally came out to the Little Bayhouse on his time to help us cut the tow rope out of our waverunner. He not only brought tools and allowed us to use his boathouse, but also stayed and chatted with us the entire time. The Little Bayhouse is owned by a great family and it is a great escape from all the worries in life.

Nice little retreat @ The Little Bay House

My husband and I had a nice little retreat @ The Little Bay House on the Eastern Bay of Mobile Bay.The house is well kept and very clean. it is decorated comfortable and cute. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with most everything you need. Lawn is manicured and pier and covered dock is very nice with great views! It is located so that you can have a very diversified vacation. One night we drove 10 miles and ate great seafood @ "a little whole in the wall " called Big Daddy's . Played on the dock and got plenty of sun the next day and still had time to go to Foley to Outlet mall to shop. Drove 15 minutes to the Grande Hotel in Point Clear and had a luxurious dinner in the grande dining room. The owners live close buy and are very friendly to help with directions, etc.
