Beautiful place, excellent all around
We have stayed here multiple times and love it. Comfortable beds, well-supplied kitchen, all the amenities one needs in a gorgeous natural setting. Outdoor grill, pier for water recreation, great bird watching. Perfect for a large family or for a couple alone. We hope to return.

Grandkids
We booked this property so our grandchildren could experience all the bay has to offer. Their ages 6-12. They fished and crabbed until they feel asleep exhausted. They had a blast. The big second floor was perfect for them. They would love to return.

Best Beach Vacation
The property and owners were great!! This was our first time staying on the Bay instead of the Beach. It was perfect! The home was perfect for our large family. The number of bathrooms was helpful. The full washer/dryer was a plus!! The unobstructed view from the pier into the bay was peaceful. We had a small problem with the A/C that the owners promptly took care of. We will definitely be back!!!!

Great fishing spot
Overall we loved this place. The fishing was amazing and the house was perfect for our needs. With 4 small children it was easy to keep them entertained at the private section of beach. Only minor complaint we had was that the towels seemed damp when we arrived. Not dirty, just damp. We assumed that the dryer just hadn't dried them fully before being folded so we just ran a quick drying cycle. Other than that, everything exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Perfect Family Vacation Spot
The hosts have put all the right ingredients together for an enjoyable time. the porch, deck and wharf are outfitted with the right amount of seating and tables to enjoy mobile bay. The kitchen has all the right equipment, dinnerware and appliances to service a group with no fuss. My nephew caught his first blue crab on the wharf and spent days swimming in the Bay. Inside, there were extra pillows, good mattresses and plenty of space. It's also perfectly situated in Baldwin County to be easily accessible to the Gulf Beaches, walking on County trails, alligator farm, Fairhope shopping & restaurants and Mobile. Quiet neighborhood - great stay! Thank you!

Excellent HideAway
We were lookin for a lil bit of a beach vacation with a whole lotta fishin. Although the charter fishing trip was cancelled(separate charter company), this well appointed waterfront property did not disappoint. The house and property were excellent. There were plenty fish caught from the pier. Check in and check out were a breeze. House rules were short and sweet. Will definitely return if available. We would like to thank Mr Paul for sharing this place with us.

We loved this house! The pier was awesome! Saw dolphins almost daily. The inside of the house was so cute. We spent a lot of time sitting on the back porch watching the ocean. We wished we had remembered our binoculars. Thank you so much for letting us borrow your house!

First time in Fairhope, and won't be the last!
This property played an integral part in blowing us away in our first visit to Fairhope. It was better than the pictures, and we were blessed with great weather while we were there. It has a quaint cottage feel but with plenty of space and beds. We stayed with 4 young kids and enjoyed every second. Lots of extras included to make the stay easy - cooking supplies, a couple beach chairs, towels, etc. The kids played nonstop at the sand, and we loved eating breakfast and drinking coffee from the porch while we watched them make childhood memories. We will certainly return!

College Friends Reunion
We loved the house! It had everything we needed for our group of seven. It was clean, nicely renovated, spacious, but also felt cozy. We'd definitely love to stay here again if we come back to the Fairhope area for another of our reunions.
