Lovingly restored 1930s home with four bedrooms and two baths in quaint village Built in the 1930's this house was the childhood home of one of Bon Secour's most well known residents. Just up the street from the Swift -Coles historic river home this cottage is reminiscent of a time gone by. Hardwood floors and wooden walls, antiques and narrow stairs to the upper floor give the Taylor House the quaint and cozy feeling of home.
For those looking for a smaller place, the upstairs can be closed off and just the downstairs used unless company comes. The lower level has two bedrooms and one bath, a kitchen, den, living room, dining room and center hall.
Nestled among old Spanish moss covered oaks the Taylor House has a timeless appeal. The large yard boasts an arbor where one can enjoy the natural surroundings.
For those who love seafood the riverside community of Bon Secour is home to the area's shrimp boats and fishing docks. Visit any of a number of seafood houses along the river to chose your dinner, wild caught and fresh off the boat. If you would rather eat out the highly acclaimed Tin Top restaurant is right next door.
The community also boasts several churches including one quaint historic building next door and another across the street. It is also home to the beloved Swift School where local children have received public education since it's days as a one room school house in the early 1900's. (It is the oldest existing public school in the county.)
Even though the village is tucked away from the hustle and bustle it is just a quick trip out to either Foley, Magnolia Springs, Fairhope or Gulf Shores where a visitor will find everything from outlet shopping and antiquing to some of the world's whitest beaches.
For guests who want to come to the beach it is the perfect alternative to the crowds, traffic and high rents. The family can venture out to catch the rays on the beach then return to enjoy peaceful surroundings of this lazy little fishing village and the friendly warmth of the Taylor House.

Father Son Fishing Trip
Our annual father sonf fishing trip was awesome!!! The hosts were great and they provided a clean, spacious home away from home. We had an internet issue and the hosts responded immediatly to our needs. They even gave us a gift certificate to the Tin Top Restaurant for our slight inconvenience. The house was perfect for our needs (four bedrooms) and the locations was super. Less than a mile from the boat ramp and right next to The Tin Top Restaurant. What else could you ask for??? Will definately stay there again!!!

Delightful Southern Comfort
It was a pleasure to be the first guests at Taylor House in Bon Secur. Louise (owner) and Martha (manager) welcomed us. Taylor House is an old family home recently restored. The home is filled with antiques. Sure a door will stick and floor creak and you will learn to love every bit of it. The home is spotless, well stocked, located in rural setting. The Tin Roof Restaurant next door is a delight. Aquila Seafood a couple miles away is a great source for fresh seafood. Louise and Martha were attentive to all our needs, making our stay perfect. A delightful stay in a wonderful home.

Thank you for your kind review. We were thrilled to have you as our first guests and appreciated all of the great feedback. It has helped as we continue to update and make the Taylor House a special place for our guests. Our most recent project was the laundry room. You will be amazed at the transformation when you come back. Oh, and the door that sticks - fixed!

Hidden Jewel!!!
I love to be able to get somewhere easily and fast but not stay right in the middle of it all. The Taylor House was just that place. The house was perfect for my group! And the best part. We only had to walk next door to get lunch or supper. The Tin Top Resturant was by far the best place to eat! Out of our four night we ate there 3 of them. We noticed a cat and her kitten live there as well. There was two cans of food In the cabinet and that was all so we bought more food for her since we were staying 4 nights and didn’t want them to go without food ( would be nice to tell future guest so they can feed them as well) Will be coming back in the future!

So glad you enjoyed the Taylor house; it really is a special place! Bon Secour is such a quaint little town, off the beaten path but still close to everything. The Tin Top is one of our favorites and most popular with the locals; so convenient! As for the kitties, I am not sure where they came from but it is possible that a former guest, housekeeper or Miss Louise (she has a very soft heart for animals and her daughter is a local vet) started feeding them and others continued. Thanks for letting me know they are there!

Uncomfortable and annoying neighbors
The restaurant next door had no respect for us. We had to get delivery drivers to move several times. The couches and beds were very uncomfortable. The power went out and no flashlights were available in the house. There was poison ivy growing in the flower bed.

Hi, Susan! Thank you so much for your review. We apologize about the Tin Top restaurant- the summer is a very busy tourist season for us, and the crowds at night are often hard for the parking lot to accommodate! I’ll speak with them about the delivery trucks. Hopefully they didn’t block the driveway!
I apologize for the power going out, we had a very bad storm and the power was out of the entire Bon Secour area. We did call Alabama power immediately, and they worked as quickly as they could to restore power. We will supply flashlights in case of another outage.
We had the flower beds checked, the ivy is native to this area, and not poisonous. Thank you for drawing our attention to it! It’s always good to check.
Which beds were uncomfortable? Too soft, too hard? We’d love to look into that to provide a better experience for future guests!
Again, thank you so much for you review. We hope to have you stay again.

A friend and I brought each of our daughters down for Montana Fouts' softball camp. We loved the peace and quiet the location offered, while still being close to everything. The house offered plenty of room for the four of us. The only major problems we experienced was vehicles blocking the driveway between the house and restaurant for extended periods of time. Also, we were unable to connect to the wi-fi at any point during our stay. Otherwise, it was great! I do not frequent Gulf Shores often, but this property will cause me to reconsider that in the future. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone that asked, and if I am in the area again in the future, this will be my first option! We greatly appreciate the hospitality and generosity of letting us rent. May God bless!!

Beautiful, but far from restful
We were so looking forward to some real rest and good seafood. The house was right next door to the best food ever, and that was great. The house itself was very nice, and it was pet friendly....
It was impossible to relax, however, after reading all the rules the owners set forth for us and our pet. We were hard pressed to keep our pet off the furniture, and used our own covers after finding none in the place specified. The reminder that there were antiques and that the home was the boyhood home of the owner made it hard to relax because we were constantly aware of the furnishings, the floors, etc. We were scared to death they would find a hair or a smudge and not refund our deposit.
The bathtub is slick as wet glass and one of my friends put a towel in the bottom to keep from falling. The towels were old, a bit ragged, so I guess that was ok. The coffee pot made exactly two cups at a time and I would have brought my travel pot if I had known.
It’s a beautiful home, with a great yard, and I would suggest that pets would not be allowed if you are afraid your things will be ruined.

Thanks for the feedback; we always want to know how we can improve the stay for our guests. I so wish you had given me a call, however. All of your concerns could have been resolved quickly and easily your very first day! That is what we are here for. Miss Louise is right around the corner and I am always only a phone call away. One of us can get to the house within a few minutes if need be. We love it when our guests let us know what they need so we can provide.
We actually have three coffee pots, the smallest of which stays on the counter. The Keurig and the 12 cup pot are in the cabinet below the microwave. The pet gear is in the bucket by the door. It has a sign on it and contains out of service sheets to cover furniture, a mat for the dog bowl and a nice little pillow bed for our furry friends. In the laundry are two crates if you do not want to pack yours. The owner's daughter is a local vet and we will always be pet friendly. We do have pet guidelines but they are basically just best practices that most pet owners follow anyway. We have not had issues with the floor getting scratched or any breakage as it is a pretty sturdy home, antiques and all; after all they did survive Jack Taylor's family for many years . The upstairs twin beds do not handle kids jumping on them but that is about all. We have never kept anyone's deposit. We know normal wear and tear happens!
I will be sure to check for the bathtub liner mat and buy a new one if I cannot find ours. I will also let Miss Louise know to check the towels.
I am glad you enjoyed the Tin Top, it is a local favorite. People drive from miles around to eat there. And, if you are ever there on a Tuesday or Friday you should check out the Swift-Coles historic river plantation home that is within walking distance of the house.

Wonderful place to stay
Perfect place to stay to relax and take it easy. This house is next to a restaurant, so there is quite a bit of traffic with customers and deliveries, but it didn't bother us at all. The location is away from all the tourists, beach goers, and partiers, but at the same time, it is within easy driving distance to get anywhere. The owner lives close and is a joy to visit with, and the property manager is quick to answer any text that you send to her. We would definitely recommend the Taylor House!!

Wonderful comfortable cottage nestled in the Mobile Bay area
We loved the historic feel of the property, the space to spread out, and the yard (both front and back). The restaurant next door was excellent. We bought fresh seafood at a place on Bon Secour down the road. Really appreciated the hospitality and centralized location to Foley, Fairhope, Orange Beach, etc.

Our group loved our stay here and the house was perfect for our needs. It was a longer drive to the beach than we thought and the restaurant next door did block the driveway a few times but nothing major. Everything was clean and a lot of necessities were also included like coffee, soap, detergent, etc. Would definitely reccomend.

Great place to stay for a family
We had a fantastic experience!
We were in town for a short vacation with the family. The location is perfect. It’s close to both Gulf Shores beach and Orange Beach (we spent time at both). Travel time to the beaches depends on traffic, however, so plan accordingly if you have activities booked. It was nice to be able to do all the fun activities on the beaches (also check out the USS Alabama, it’s worth it!) and go back to a quiet peaceful home at the end of the day. Tin Top Restaurant next door is packed all the time and there is a reason why... it’s delicious and service great! I highly recommend!
The Taylor House was clean and tidy, and I’m pretty particular! The essentials are provided, and everything was either labeled or instructions were provided in a binder. Martha was very quick to respond to the one and only question we had regarding checkout procedures.
I’m looking forward the next visit!

Love the Taylor House
Renting this house through Martha was a breeze. No problem at all. Everything was as advertised. The house was clean and well equipped as well as centrally located for golf courses and the Tin Top restaurant next door was excellent. The only negative for the entire trip was that the golf Channel was not available on the Dish network but a small nuisance for a pleasant stay.
