About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sept. Vacancies! Sandy Beach, gorgeous sunsets, great front porch view!

Come enjoy the fabulous sunsets and relaxing atmosphere in this spacious a-frame on the bay! The house is just minutes from the great shopping and dining of the city of Fairhope, but just off the beaten path enough to feel private and secluded! Located on the eastern shore of Mobile bay, the house faces almost due south, meaning refreshing breezes in the summer, but protection from the wind in the winter, making the outdoor weather fabulous year-round!

This house is perfect for vacationing families. The downstairs bedrooms both have King sized beds, while 2 rooms upstairs will sleep lots of kids! The sandy beach is perfect for small children. A snowbird couple would also love this house, as the upstairs need not even be used! The view from the kitchen as you cook is just breathtaking.

There is a public boat ramp just one mile away, so bring your boat for skiing, tubing and fishing on the bay, or for a beautiful ride up the nearby magnolia river to swim in the cold spring waters.

Don't forget to pack your appetite for seafood. When baited, the two crab traps provided catch as many as a dozen crabs a day!

Wonderful stay!
We keep returning to this quiet and restful location. Beautiful sunrises with a resident blue heron wading along the bay edge every morning. Stunning sunsets. Crabcakes and crab linguini from crabs caught using the traps on the deck. An extremely well equipped kitchen. Very responsive owner. A lovely vacation spot all round.

My family spent fall break here. You can watch the beautiful sunsets at front porch, catch fish or crabs at personal pier. Fairhope has peaceful downtown, Gulf Shores has white sand beach. Enjoy the fall break very much, will visit again!

Very comfortable!
We always bring our own household supplies, but this was the first time we had ever stayed somewhere that actually had it all!! It was nice to not have to order tp, napkins etc. As we began to run out the last day we were able to just grab some out the pantry. Plenty of big pots and silverware!! Very clean. My only star deduction was the location, the reviews said close to attractions. 25 minute drive to Walmart, 45 minute drive to attractions. That was just too far for us. On the flip side, we only booked for 4 people since no one else could confirm because of work. Last minute my daughter, cousin and aunt showed up. And that wasn’t an issue. Probably time to rebuild the fishing pier, it was sketchy. My son jumped off and a board snapped in half, he’s 165 lbs. Another board wasn’t even attached at all, definitely wouldn’t pass a code inspection. We did have a blast goofing off and swimming and fishing!

Beautiful View and Good Fishing!
We stayed for a family get-together with 6 adults ranging in age from 19-61 and had the best time! The pier offered gorgeous views of the bay. We had fun fishing and relaxing on the porch and pier. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked for our cooking needs. It was a great trip and we'd definitely stay again!

Cute place!!
Great little place with gorgeous views. The kids loved the “kids bedroom” and the other bedrooms were perfect for the adults. The living area/kitchen was a nice size for a big group. We loved being on the water. The long pier was nice to hang out on, and we were able to paddleboard and kayak right from the shore. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Alabama cottage.
Nice family vacation cottage, beautiful location. Lots of kitchen utensils, towels, bed linens. We brought, and used, extra blankets—but of course we were there in March! The VRBO hosts often provide information about the area and property, that type of info was not available. The host was very good about answering questions.

A restful and peaceful location
This is our third visit to this property. It has a lovely setting and is always such a pleasure to visit. The host is extremely responsive to any questions --answering within minutes. The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked. We are not restaurant people, and I can do just as well in this kitchen as my own. We had multiple fish (from the dock) and crab dinners (crab cakes are our favorite) with crab from the host's traps. Weeks Bay is a morning walk away--a great place to watch herons and pelicans. We highly recommend this property. A gem.

I stayed at a lovely accommodation for three days at a very reasonable price. The view from the place was fantastic, and the heater and hot water worked well. It was winter, but the weather was good enough to use the kayaks in the sea. I want to return to this place for my summer vacation.

Lovely little house on the bay
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was the perfect size for just my husband and I. Scenery was beautiful, it was tidy, bed was probably the most comfortable of any of the rentals we have stayed in! This is not a brand new house, but it was clean and very nice. Our only complaint is be mindful of the dock, it feels a little wobbly, but IT IS SAFE. There were a couple soft boards that may require some attention this spring, but nothing to immediately complain about or prevent us from using it. Overall we LOVED our stay here! It was perfect size for us. It was really fun to stay in such a cute little A-frame. It was VERY comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, plenty of bath linens! The location was phenomenal, neighbor my husband talked to was so nice, we saw many pelicans (personal favorite for me) and there was an injured heron that was around regularly that was really neat to be close to and observe! 10/10 would recommend and would stay here again!

Fabulous location and gorgeous views! Our family of 6 adults and 1 child really enjoyed our stay. Kitchen was pretty well stocked with the necessary items to make meals. Home was clean and suited our needs well. The spiral staircase has been replaced with normal stairs which was a nice upgrade! Hope to return next year for another family vacation!
