Beautiful bay stay

Mornings and evenings are our favorite times here! In between fun on the pier, paddle boarding (we brought our own) and crabbing makes our family getaway just perfect! We have stayed here for several years and our host is top notch.

We’ve rented this house multiple times. We love the location and proximity to Fairhope, and how quiet the neighborhood is. The house has everything you could possibly need. Terri is a great host and very responsive with any questions.

Great getaway!!

It was a GREAT, quiet location on the water, yard well-kept and fenced for pets with scooper right by the door, and washer/dryer for cleaning clothes, most all kitchen necessities available and ready, very quaint wood floors beach house style interior with brick exterior and 1st and 2nd floor patio overlooking the bay. There is some settling in the home from previous hurricanes that happened causing some sloping in floors, doors that are hard to open and close and some sub par repairs to water damage and settling cracks due to storm years on the gulf. Still a great stay had a great time! Room for pets and outdoorsy kids to play, would recommend for a vaction get away in a quiet BEAUTIFUL area!

Overall our stay was good but the house could use some updates. Our host was very attentive when the WiFi went out so we appreciated that.

Nice place

Very convenient to the Point Clear and Fairhope areas. Roomy place. Interior could use a little updating, but if you are not going to be spending the entire time in the room, it's very nice for families. We had 4 adults. Good area in the back with a swim dock on the bay. One thing to note: The upstairs is open to the entire area (just one room plus bathroom) including to the downstairs sitting / TV areas) so not much privacy there. Kitchen was fine, not exactly super modern, but functional. We'd definitely like to stay here again.

Great Place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our monthlong stay! Everything was just right and our host was very attentive and accommodating. The views from the outside porches were spectacular, especially the gorgeous sunsets! A terrific respite from cold New York State winter weather.

A Solid B

Very clean, well if not lavishly furnished. Beds very comfortable, property manager friendly and responsive. Kitchen had everything we needed. Only real negative for us as a 70 couple was the downstairs living room furniture, which was old and worn, not terribly comfortable. Two new living room easy chairs would boost our B to an A-!

Beautiful sunsets

We hadn't been to Alabama since COVID, and decided on this VRBO because of the location. We weren't disappointed. The sunsets are spectacular. The area is quiet and in a lovely neighborhood.Close to Fairhope, Foley and Gulf Shores. We were able to enjoy the beach and Mobile Bay.And Mother Nature also let us experience a record snowfall!Our hosts were wonderful and only a message away. We had a memorable time!

Great location great vibe

The Fairhope area is a wonderful place to relax. From great dining to nice views of the bay, to local pecan growers. This location is quiet with good neighbors. Nice sunsets and a bright open living area. Great communication with owner.

Wonderful Stay

This was our 5th stay at this property and it’s absolutely wonderful every single time. The location is quiet so it’s a great place to relax. It’s roughly only a 10-15 minute drive into Fairhope or just 30 minutes into Gulf Shores so the location is perfect. We definitely will rent again next year.

Great vacation

Terry and Gary are probably the friendliest, most accommodating hosts that I have ever stayed with. I had a problem with the internet, but they were easy to get a hold of and was able to fix on the spot. The property had good fishing and the backyard lawn was golf green quality. My dog had a great time too. Great people will absolutely rent again!

Independence Day Stay

This is our fourth year to stay at this property. It’s the perfect size for us. We love how close we are to the bay and love the pier to swim off of and to crab. House is well stocked with needed toiletries and kitchen needs. We love the ease of check in and communication with Terri. We are already booked for next year! 🇺🇸
