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.

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!

A Wonderful Stay

Beautiful surroundings earned this house a second visit for us! November is a transition month for the weather and this location is perfect for a late Fall getaway. Cozy accommodations, comfortable furnishings, and a killer location-this VRBO has it all. We hosted grandkids and their parents and all ages were entertained, Thanks to the owners’ attention to detail, books, puzzles and games are provided and much appreciated. The sunsets are amazing, too!

Scenic Get-Away

This house was very clean, comfortable,and loved the arrangement. So quite this time of year, very scenic, dolphins went by every day. Spent most of time on patio or pier. Terri answered every question I needed to ask quickly. Would definitely come back. Nice fishing there.

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.

Peaceful and relaxing for all of us, including pups

We spent 6 days here, and enjoyed it, and so did the puppies! The fenced in yard was great for the dogs to run around and meet the neighbors dogs, as they walked by! The ability to be on the water is so serene. We got the outer bands of Francine, but it was gone in no time! We used the crab traps and caught a few- but with the storm, we released the large females and the little males back into the bay. Thanks for the opportunity to have our much larger dogs vacation with us, and for your hospitality! We look forward to returning again!

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.

Family Friendly

We stayed for 7 days in July. We were visiting for a softball tournament but didn’t want to be in the busy area of the beaches. Our boys love to fish and it was right at the back door. There was a crab pot on site. We were able to catch crab and shrimp to cook fresh. The place was well kept and fit our family of 6 just fine. The only issue we had was we ran out of toilet paper and the only time we used the grill there was not enough propane to finish cooking our meal so we had to use the broiler on the stove. Host was quick to answer any questions we had. If we return this would be a property we would return to.

Great place to stay ! The Host has thought of everything!

We ( my husband and in-laws) have certain standards/ check list that we want in staying at a vacation home. You have met them all. A/C , comfy mattress and pillows, water pressure in showers, great cooking pans - Diamond pans never heard of them cook great and easy to clean , sharp knives, ropes on the pier to hold onto when walking ( more for my in-laws) Love putting puzzles together. Fishing, sitting on the dock , Stunning Sunsets, Fenced in yard. Perfect for our Aussiedoodle not to run off. Highly recommend!

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! 🇺🇸

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!

Quiet Bay House

Our grandkids had so much fun fishing and crabbing off the pier. We caught enough crabs to feed 5 of us for two meals. Even though it rained often that week, we had plenty of places to play board games in the house. The washer and dryer looked brand new and the two A/C units kept us very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked even a large pot for the crab boil.

Lovely light filled vacation including a blue bird and pelicans flying near.

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the property. The attention to detail and comfort for our stay. Little things like a stool for short people. Well stocked kitchen. I enjoyed the original art work and selection of colors.

Absolutely the Best

My husband, friends and I stay here every year, and this was our 4th stay. We visit Fairhope every year and love the location of this house. It’s roughly 10-15 minutes south of Fairhope, but it’s an easy, scenic drive. We love the fact that it sits on the water and has a pier. In addition, it has a fenced yard so our two dogs are able to come with us. The house has everything anyone could possibly need and if you have any questions Terri responds quickly! Thanks again, Terri, for another great visit. We’ll definitely be back next year.

Cozy retreat

We loved the location. It’s super quiet. Fairhope is a wonderful little town without all the traffic and crowds. The house had some of the most spectacular sunsets. Everything you need for a quiet getaway, but still a beautiful 20-30 minute drive to Foley and Gulf Shores. I definitely recommend this property and will visit again! And Terri was an awesome host!!

Family Fourth of July

This is our fourth year to gather as a family at this rental home. It's been the perfect place for my sisters and mom to come together and enjoy our time on the bay. Terri has been the perfect host and has answered any questions before and during our stay quickly. This house has everything we need as far as bedding, towels, kitchen staples and more. The pier is an awesome place to catch crabs, swim off of or just chill to watch the beautiful sunsets. We so appreciate this property for another wonderful family get together!
