The Skipper’s Hideaway: Golf Course & Pool Oasis
Relive the golden era of Hollywood at The Skipper’s Hideaway—a retro-glam retreat where timeless mid-century style meets island oasis charm. Inspired by the classic Gilligan’s Island show, this one-of-a-kind escape is filled with vintage touches and black-and-white photo-worthy moments that let you step into your own cinematic scene from the past. The spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 2,200 sqft of comfort and character, featuring a ping pong game room and a front porch with views of the community pool. Nestled within the amenity-rich Lake Forest Golf Course community, guests can enjoy golf, tennis, scenic trails, horseback riding, multiple pools, and a waterfront Yacht Club offering dining and sunset views. Just 20 minutes from Downtown Fairhope and an hour from the Gulf Coast beaches, this classic, captivating, and cinematically chic getaway is the perfect blend of nostalgia and tropical flair. Book your stay and relive Hollywood’s golden age-tropical style!
