About this property

Come Relax and Enjoy the outdoors at our Beautiful Bay front home

Middle Bay Hideaway is a beautiful four bedroom, two and a half bath private home that overlooks the scenic Mobile Bay. You'll enjoy incredible views from the living room, kitchen and master bedroom, but our whole families favorite area to hang out is the back porch! Enjoy your days fishing, crabbing, kayaking, boating, or just enjoying the view on the pier. You may also love spending time at the beach, swimming in your own private pool, or simply relaxing and reading a good book in the porch swing. Take in the gorgeous sunrise over the bay as you enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a glass of wine while sitting by the firepit at night. We also have a private pier for fishing and crabbing. No Boat slip. We are only 2 miles from the nearest boat launch, 15 minutes from the beaches of Dauphin Island, and 5 minutes from the nearest grocery store. We offer a gourmet kitchen for those who enjoy cooking your own meals, but we are also close to many fabulous restaurants for a wonderful meal out. You will not find better seafood anywhere else! We have WiFi available for your internet needs and TV's in every bedroom. We offer Direct TV service or log-in to your streaming channels. A few of our favorite local activities is hiking the Audubon Bird Sanctuary trails on Dauphin Island, riding bikes on the Island, touring the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, touring Fort Gaines, riding the Ferry over to Fort Morgan, Cedar Point Fishing Pier, Bellingrath Gardens and Home, and spending the day on the West End of Dauphin Island. If you love to fish, you are in for a treat. Some of the best charter fishing boats are right out of Dauphin Island. Where the largest fishing rodeo is held every July. We are only 20 minutes to the nearest Walmart and they also make deliveries directly to our home. We are 20 minutes to Mobile where we have a brand new Top Golf and Dave And Busters. Great for a girls weekend getaway, a guys fishing or golf trip, and family vacations. We are only about 45 minutes to the casinos of Biloxi, Ms. There is something for everyone to enjoy!!! Come stay with Middle Bay Hideaway and make memories you'll talk about for years! We love to share our Southern Hospitality!

Overall this vacation home was perfect for our needs. We shared the home with some friends who have 2 young children just like us, so the room layout was perfect for our situation. Having the private pier was also great to have and was perfect for fishing and crabbing. The pier is sitting in rather shallow water (2-3 feet max) so we caught more catfish than anything else. Regardless, it was great for fishing. We will definitely be coming back.

The house has a great layout, especially if you have really little ones. No stairs—great for all ages. The views are AMAZING! Get your coffee ready for gorgeous sunrises! Only 20 minutes to Dauphin Island for tons more to do! We truly enjoyed our time there, and we hope to get back for warmer weather.

This house was everything it said it would be! Spacious enough to comfortably sleep 8 people and room for everyone to spread out. The pool was lovely and a staple activity when we were at the house, and the view-especially the sunrises each morning-were simply breathtaking! Close enough to everything to be convenient with several local places to grab food when we didn’t want to cook. Definitely recommend this home and will enjoy staying there again when we return to the area!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Long

Host profile image
My family and I have all grew up on the beautiful gulf coast and wouldn't want to live any where else. We love our beautiful area beaches, Gulf of Mexico, rivers, and especially Mobile Bay. We enjoy everything outdoors. We are avid fishermen, hunters, and love all sports! We spend as much time outdoors and on the water as possible. We hope you fall in love with our beautiful area and wildlife as well! Be on the look out for our beautiful Bald Eagles that can be seen flying over and diving for fish frequently.

Why they chose this property

We love being on Mobile Bay and the location is the best! We are only 2 mile from the boat launch at the Pelican Reef and a quick boat ride to the Gulf of Mexico, Sand Island, or West end Beach. By car, we make quick trips to the beach often, take bike rides on the Island or hike the trails of the Audubon Bird Sanctuary. There's always something for everyone.

What makes this property unique

We love the single floor lay out of this home. My husband hates stairs. So this really sold us on this property all those years ago. Now that we are older, we appreciate it even more. Not only is it a wonderfully laid out house, but it also offers plenty of room without feeling like you are on top of each other. We love spending most of our time outside. So we love our large back patio overlooking the bay and the pool. This offers our family many opportunities to spend lots of time together and make many memories. We love spending hours in the pool playing with the grandchildren and lazy afternoons grilling out and eating our dinner outside overlooking the beautiful bay. We also love relaxing with a nice glass of wine late in the evening and enjoying a little quiet time sitting around the fire pit. Mostly my family enjoys their time spent on the pier fishing and crabbing. Then we enjoy cooking their catch and the fresh gulf coast seafood. However you choose to spend your vacation, we hope Middle Bay Hideaway offers all you are looking for.
