Beautiful Sunsets

Beautiful home on the bay. We really enjoyed the sunsets from the pier. The host family was wonderful--responsive, hospitable, and available. Many wonderful amenities including soap, shampoo, and coffee! We hope to return soon.

Perfection

We had three couples and all needed relaxation and beautiful sunsets. This was the perfect home. They had thought of absolutely everything and even more. There were even blue crabs in the traps off dock for our culinary enjoyment. Could not have asked for more.

Lov!ely

Relaxing, comfortable and private. There are empty lots on both sides making the property more private than expected. We were 3 couples over the age of 60. Loved that 3 of the 4 bedrooms had their own full bathrooms. Huge plus! There was also a fourth bedroom and yet another bathroom off the kitchen. Must be able to climb stairs to get in which was not a problem for us but people should be aware. The screened in porch was definately the hangout! Plenty of comfy chairs as well as a swing. Our hostess was great, she kept in touch without being overly involved. A lovely home, thanks for sharing it with us.

About the host

Hosted by JANICE THOMPSON

We are honored and excited to share our bay home with you and your family. My husband is a Fairhope native, and he grew up in a small house along County Rd 1 with his parents. As a child, he had always enjoyed fishing, crabbing, shrimping, harvesting oysters in the afternoons after school and made many wonderful childhood memories. Some of the best memories were waking up to ‘jubilees’ (caused primarily by the upward movement of oxygen-poor bottom waters, forcing bottom dwelling fish and crustaceans ashore) by in the middle of the night and fill up buckets after buckets with fish, crabs, and shrimp to share with everyone. We hope to share this unique bay life with our children and with guests from all over, near or far.

Why they chose this property

You will find plenty of space for the whole family to just kick back and spread out. There should be plenty to do within the property (kayaking, fishing, crabbing, sun bathing, moon & stars gazing, sunset watching, bicycling, play a game of corn hole or two, grill out, laze on the hammock) or take a short 15 mins drive to the famous downtown Fairhope to enjoy extraordinary dining experience, spa and local shopping (not the usual big chain stores).

What makes this property unique

All of the 4 bedrooms have attached bathrooms and smart TVs.
To ensure that you get settled in and have a great stay with us, we provide a ‘starter pack’ which has an initial supply of laundry pods, dishwasher pods, coffee pods, toilet paper, paper towels and basic toiletries. However, these may not be enough for your entire stay, and you may need to purchase additional supplies.
