About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Labor Day Weekend Open! Sandy Beach, gorgeous sunsets, great front porch view!

Come enjoy the fabulous sunsets and relaxing atmosphere in this spacious a-frame on the bay! The house is just minutes from the great shopping and dining of the city of Fairhope, but just off the beaten path enough to feel private and secluded! Located on the eastern shore of Mobile bay, the house faces almost due south, meaning refreshing breezes in the summer, but protection from the wind in the winter, making the outdoor weather fabulous year-round!

This house is perfect for vacationing families. The downstairs bedrooms both have King sized beds, while 2 rooms upstairs will sleep lots of kids! The sandy beach is perfect for small children. A snowbird couple would also love this house, as the upstairs need not even be used! The view from the kitchen as you cook is just breathtaking.

There is a public boat ramp just one mile away, so bring your boat for skiing, tubing and fishing on the bay, or for a beautiful ride up the nearby magnolia river to swim in the cold spring waters.

Don't forget to pack your appetite for seafood. When baited, the two crab traps provided catch as many as a dozen crabs a day!

We loved the open kitchen-living space that looks right out on the Bay. Plenty of couch space and a long kitchen island with stools. We also walked the full-length pier where others fish. The kitchen had all we needed. The beds were comfy. And the washer-dryer was easy to use. A great getaway.

Respite

This provided a perfect getaway for friends from 4 different states. We had not difficulties, finding the property or checking it. The home is clean, comfortably and invited community. The weather could have been better, but a spectacular light show, torrential rain on the tin roof were actually special. We are glad we stayed. A reminder that the coffee pot does not have auto shut off would be good. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place

Fantastic and peaceful location

We stayed at this location for one month. I will start with the negatives; upon arriving to this very cute but rustic cottage, there was an unmistakable odor of mildew or “wet basement” if you will. This smell permeated all of our belongings by the time we departed. The front storm door, did not work well and would not close without a lot of manipulation. The furniture inside of the home was very uncomfortable for longer than a couple days stay. The oven was filthy inside and needs a good cleaning. The dock is in major disrepair and I would say not safe if you are not a fit adult. There are deck boards that are broken as well as nails sticking out in some places. On a positive note, We found the beds to be very comfortable and the kitchen and linens well supplied. All in all an okay stay if you plan on a short one, if only for the location, but this cabin is in a state of disrepair and in need of some TLC.

Wonderful stay!

We keep returning to this quiet and restful location. Beautiful sunrises with a resident blue heron wading along the bay edge every morning. Stunning sunsets. Crabcakes and crab linguini from crabs caught using the traps on the deck. An extremely well equipped kitchen. Very responsive owner. A lovely vacation spot all round.

Very comfortable!

We always bring our own household supplies, but this was the first time we had ever stayed somewhere that actually had it all!! It was nice to not have to order tp, napkins etc. As we began to run out the last day we were able to just grab some out the pantry. Plenty of big pots and silverware!! Very clean. My only star deduction was the location, the reviews said close to attractions. 25 minute drive to Walmart, 45 minute drive to attractions. That was just too far for us. On the flip side, we only booked for 4 people since no one else could confirm because of work. Last minute my daughter, cousin and aunt showed up. And that wasn’t an issue. Probably time to rebuild the fishing pier, it was sketchy. My son jumped off and a board snapped in half, he’s 165 lbs. Another board wasn’t even attached at all, definitely wouldn’t pass a code inspection. We did have a blast goofing off and swimming and fishing!

Beautiful View and Good Fishing!

We stayed for a family get-together with 6 adults ranging in age from 19-61 and had the best time! The pier offered gorgeous views of the bay. We had fun fishing and relaxing on the porch and pier. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked for our cooking needs. It was a great trip and we'd definitely stay again!

Cute place!!

Great little place with gorgeous views. The kids loved the “kids bedroom” and the other bedrooms were perfect for the adults. The living area/kitchen was a nice size for a big group. We loved being on the water. The long pier was nice to hang out on, and we were able to paddleboard and kayak right from the shore. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice family vacation cottage, beautiful location. Lots of kitchen utensils, towels, bed linens. We brought, and used, extra blankets—but of course we were there in March! The VRBO hosts often provide information about the area and property, that type of info was not available. The host was very good about answering questions.

A restful and peaceful location

This is our third visit to this property. It has a lovely setting and is always such a pleasure to visit. The host is extremely responsive to any questions --answering within minutes. The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked. We are not restaurant people, and I can do just as well in this kitchen as my own. We had multiple fish (from the dock) and crab dinners (crab cakes are our favorite) with crab from the host's traps. Weeks Bay is a morning walk away--a great place to watch herons and pelicans. We highly recommend this property. A gem.
