Enjoy this tastefully furnished 3 bedroom 3 bath home located between Gulf Shores beaches and historic Fairhope. Shopping is nearby and restaurants are plentiful. The sugar white beaches of the Gulf of Mexico ( Gulf Shores ) are just 20 minutes drive. Some of the Gulf coast's best restaurants are just minutes away. You can drive to surrounding cities such as New Orleans , Mobile , Pensacola , Mississippi casinos , Destin , Fort Morgan, or Dauphin Island for interesting day trips. There are also tour buses that make day trips to these locations.
There is great fishing from the pier. The home is less than a 1/4 of a mile from a former World renowned Tarpon fishing lodge that attracted guests from long distances in the early 1900's.
Bring your boat or jet-skis to explore the national estuary of Weeks Bay known for its' overabundance of shrimp, blue crab, sea trout, redfish and flounder.
Rest and relax in this tranquil and picturesque setting and watch the dolphins swim by and the pelicans dive the bay. Take in the natural landscaping with the moss-draped oak trees and wildlife as you sit on the decks and covered pier. The home faces the West to treat you to Mother Nature’s daily canvas of new colors from the grand sunsets over the water. Life is good at Weeks Bay!

Our plans changed and we were not able to stay at this wonderful home this time but I just wanted to say what a great experience it was working with the owner! He responded quickly and was very accommodating with my every request and/or question. He was a delight to work with and I hope to be able to stay here later in the Summer and give a full report.Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

Our stay at your home was absolutely wonderful. The accommodations were perfect for our family. We were able to enjoy our time together and all remain perfectly comfortable while there. The family kept saying that the place was perfect and would like to return in the future. Two mornings we were able to watch the dolphins in the bay while having our coffee on the deck. The guys fished everyday and caught enough fish for one meal. Because the weather was so nice we were able to sit out on the deck and dock and enjoy just catching up. Thanks you so much for a great stay and we will try to come again some day.

The property was exactly as advertised. Clean property with spacious bedrooms, and a large den and dining room in an open floor plan. Nice decks under huge oak trees. A very long pier with a gazebo at the end. Only 12 minutes from the huge Foley outlet shopping center. Also near the quaint city of Fairhope with antique shops, and a small town feel. Ate out every night - Jessy's is a must! Great food.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

My parents and I enjoyed our stay at this vaction property. We enjoyed many hours sitting on the bench-swing of the covered dock and watching the wild-life. Even in the mid-July heat, the shade of the dock and cool breeze off the bay keeps you cofortable.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Hey Chris, We are glad that your family enjoyed their stay with us. We have had a lot of guests send us nice letters about their stays that did not post them online.Thanks for taking the time to share your review for others to see. Take care, Edythe

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: We purchased this property in 2007 to be closer to our family in the Fairhope and Gulf Shores Alabama area. This is a custom built home built on a beautiful lot with centuries old oak trees and great waterfront viewing of the bay. It is a very comfortable home that we enjoy fishing, boating and water sports. Weeks Bay adjoins Mobile Bay and is fed by two fresh water rivers, the Magnolia and the Fish rivers which provide for the best fishing for both freshwater to saltwater varieties of fish. The home's pier is a known local hotspot that inshore professional fishing guides bring their customer to fish by boat. The pier is located over the top of the main tidal flow path of the bay. There is also oyster beds near that are natural fish attractors. Weeks Bay is a protected natural estuary that is off limits to shrimping. Biologists project that 90% of all shrimp caught in state waters come from Weeks Bay. The ban of harvesting shrimp greatly increases the quantity of bait. Shrimping impacts both the shrimp population and all the other bait fish caught by their nets.
