The Perfect Getaway
Thank you for sharing your families precious house with others. It was the perfect getaway and the kids loved the direct access to the water and prime fishing. The house was beautiful and plenty of beds/ room for multiple families!

Peace by the Bay
We are repeat guests. The hosts are excellent and their home is comfortable, quiet, well-equipped, and in a beautiful location. Easy access to groceries, restaurants, cafes, shops, and bookstores. The full pier is great for boat access and for watching the sunset.

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.
