About this property

Waterfront Paradise - Bay Sunsets - Mobile Bay Cottage

  • The oversized window in the dining area provides a panoramic view of the water, and notably the sunsets. The open floor plan continues onto the back porch overlooking the bay, making for a great family or group get together. The offerings in the walnut bar are complimentary to sample, yet not always stocked. The fire pit and charcoal grill make for additional outdoor celebrations. This Fairhope cottage was designed for detaching from the outside world without sacrificing comfort.

    Access code will be provided prior to arrival.

    In addition to the kayak, we provide two inflatable paddle boards, however sometimes a paddle board needs to be replaced due to prior use and that can take time based on availability.

The house was beautiful and in an incredible location. The views of the bay at sunset were absolutely stunning. It was very clean and truly lacked nothing—we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The amenities were high quality, and the beds were very comfortable. The HVAC system worked perfectly and kept the house at our desired temperature throughout our stay.There are plenty of restaurants and shopping options nearby, yet it still feels peaceful and private, like you have the whole area to yourselves.If we return to this area, we will absolutely look forward to staying here again.

This is a cute fun place with great views. The kayak and paddle board add a nice touch, as well as the fire pit. Quiet area with very little traffic.

This place is amazing! Has a great lay out and beautiful views. The accommodations were above and beyond any VRBO I’ve stayed at. The whole family enjoyed it! Will be booking this place again for sure.

Perfect getaway

Wonderful mini vacation! My family truly enjoyed the area - the house was beautiful and clean and the owner was very friendly! It stormed while we were there so we didn’t get a chance to use the kayaks but loved having the option. Will definitely visit again!

Lovely peaceful place

Very cute and peaceful place. We had a family picnic, enjoyed watching wildlife (including dolphins) and did a little kayaking as well. We have family in the area and this was the perfect place to have a getaway and get together with loved ones. I would stay here again. Host was very communicative and helpful.

Amazingly peaceful and charming

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was charming. We could tell it was newly renovated. The breeze was constant and soothing. And even the bad weather was amazing view with such an unencumbered view.

Perfect girls trip!

My best friend and two daughters loved this property so much. It has great charm and is off the beaten path, away from the hustle and bustle. We even saw dolphin swimming in the bay. We will be back!

Excellent location

Loved the deck and birds. The birds were right behind the house (not at the neighbors). Really enjoyed watching them. Great location for visiting Fairhope, Magnolia Springs, plant nurseries and Gulf Shores. House was clean and comfortable.

Just right

Other than the weird floor buckling in the entry, the house was perfect in every way. Great accommodations, great location, and all the necessities required for a great stay. We even used the fire pit and made s’mores!

Perfect for sunsets

This is a beautiful, quiet property that is right on the waterfront so sunsets are beautiful. The pelicans that sit on posts out in the water add to the charm of the house. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and there are plenty of towels and blankets. The beds are comfortable. We would stay here again and recommend to friends.

Relaxing stay on the water

Couldn’t keep my wife from fishing almost every day we were there. And the catfish didn’t disappoint. We both needed this anniversary trip to relax from our busy schedules. Exactly what we needed.

Charming and roomy

We fell so in love with the property, we just didn’t leave much. It’s sooo easy to relax and thoroughly enjoy. We cooked and dined in; and, we ordered in amazing food via Uber Eats. We spent most of our time enjoying ourselves on the deck, looking across the bay. We will return for our third visit in October.

Roomy, comfortable home

Good views of the bay from the second level deck. Could use a bit more seating but good, nonetheless. The house was quite spacious. We had the king bedroom and the mattress was shockingly comfortable. Plenty of bath towels; which were thick and very soft. Good communication; quite responsive. Would stay here again.

Quite location South of Fairhope

Lovely location overlooking the bay. If you want to be outside of the busyness of the city but close enough to enjoy all Fairhope has to offer this is a great option. The home has some foundation/settling issues that need to be addressed but don't let this stop you from staying here. We had six adults in our party and had plenty of room. The sunsets are amazing! No boat dock/pier at time of our stay.

Best vacay ever!!!

This lovely property perhaps isn’t described S fabulously as it should be. It’s AMAZING!!! We spent more time at “home,” than we did touring or anything else. It’s fabulous. We all felt so relaxed, rested, rejuvenated and wonderful. We spent hours looking out on the bay. We kayaked, photographed eagles, dolphins, pelicans, herons, and seagulls. Wow!!! We can’t wait to return.

Family Time

A little rustic for our taste. Bathrooms were updated and so was the kitchen. We used the grill and made several meals in the kitchen. The floor has several uneven spots. Some drapes or blinds might be nice for the owner to consider. It served our purpose nicely, which was to unplug, enjoy the family and area.

Beautiful view, but house needs updates

There is a serious issue with floor at the entrance. It is buckled so bad we tripped over it several times so had to sit boxes over the buckled areas to not fall. Beautiful sunsets, but not enough chairs on the deck to sit out and enjoy. Nails sticking up on the deck, plus there is a small step down, not noticeable due to being painted the same color. There was a washer/dryer, but impossible to open the wide barn door type closet doors enough to access them. Kitchen was well equipped with all you need. Plenty of towels, bathrooms and bedrooms were good.

PRECIOUS

Things I loved about this place: -colorful walls and calming modern decor -tons of natural light and great views of the water -lots of coffee making options (kuerig, French press, 4 cup coffee pot) -pretty much anything you need in the kitchen, including spices which is extremely rare and very much appreciated!! -comfy master bed -real, live, beautiful plants make this space very homey -key code entry, so I don’t have to keep up with a key! -The back porch is awesome for morning coffee! We spotted dolphins! -The host left lights on because she knew we’d be coming in at night, and the house can be hard to find in the dark -there were plenty of towels and toilet paper provided for our party of 4, for the weekend Things I didn’t love: -no window coverings in den, dining, kitchen area made me feel a little weird at night. This really was NOT terrible though. -no covering on the window in the ACTUAL shower made me feel very exposed! -warped floors: I was aware of this issue because I read the reviews, but I do feel like this should have been warned in the description of the property. The one dangerous spot that most of the reviews spoke about, was pretty bad, BUT has been covered with a rug so you don’t forget it’s there. We actually didn’t trip on it much, but it IS in a major walkway. Overall, we enjoyed being in this Vrbo and honestly, I would rent it again if we’re in the area 😊
