Views of the bay are incredible- and the sound of lapping waves will relax you immediately upon arrival. The home is nicely decorated and very well appointed. The host (Tina) communicated well throughout the whole pre rental and rental period. Fresh flowers and coffee were a nice touch. We very much enjoyed staying here!

The home was even better than pictured! Beautifully decorated, super clean and Tina was a perfect host. We booked with just a few days notice so finding this amazing home was more than we could have expected! The sun room was our second favorite place after the peer with comfy swinging chairs to listen to the waves and watch the sunsets. We hope to be back with more people next time.

Great stay at Belle Vue Retreat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Fairhope during the July 4th holiday week. The reservation and check-in process was easy and the Belle Vue Retreat cottage was exactly as advertised and the owners were very helpful before and during our stay. The property was perfect for our group of 7 people and we made good use of the wharf and had a great time catching crabs using the crab traps that were available for use. We also loved the beautiful sunsets over Mobile Bay. Overall, an excellent visit.

This is a very clean and recently updated 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home. Has a brand new covered dock with lights. It also has good air conditioning and a tankless water heater so we never ran out of hot water. We were in Alabama for a softball tournament and this home is 19 minutes from the Foley sports complex. We will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Getaway

Tina’s home on the bay was ideal for our family getaway with grandparents and 2 teenage boys. The home was clean, spacious, and comfortable. There are several details that we really enjoyed such as the large master suite overlooking the bay, the comfortable sun room surrounded by windows which was perfect for family time, and the covered dock where we fished and caught crabs. The kitchen was well stocked and convenient for cooking meals. Tina was excellent with communication and we look forward to returning soon!
