Great bay views

You can tell the owners really worked hard to get the property in great shape and have worked hard on maintaining it. The backyard sitting area and outdoor kitchen was worth the stay in itself. Highly recommend

Oh to stay at the Bay...

The perfect place to sit by the dock of the Bay and waste some time :-) The family had a blast fishing from the dock, and I thoroughly enjoyed every sunrise. The area is great, and a short drive to Dauphin Island. Highly recommend!

Wonderful house on the bay

We spent 3 nights at this wonderful place. It is big house with all the amenities. The private dock was such a great experience. The hosts provided crab pots and we took full advantage of them. It is in a great location with the peace and quiet we were looking for.

Bayside calm!

The property was exactly as advertised. Clean, tidy and well stocked (even candies left out for sharing). The hostess was lovely and does a great job. If the weather had been better on our trip we would have made great use of the lovely outdoor kitchen. Just a wonderful calm place to stay.

Beautiful property

Really lovely home in a wonderful location . We really enjoyed the outdoor space with the view of the bay in a comfortable & welcoming environment. Absolutely no steps was a huge advantage for my elderly mother & uncle who were traveling with us. The kitchen is well appointed. The hosts responded to all communications quickly & professionally.

Family Vacation on the Bay

We had the best family vacation!! The house was top notch. We could not have asked for more. The sunrises from the dock were breathtaking. Ruth and Steve were wonderful and answered every question we had. We will come back again just for the house and their wonderful dock that we fished from every day

Most Relaxing Vacation Ever!

We were four retired ladies that spent a week at this property and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The home was everything it was advertised to be and MORE. It’s obvious the owners also use this property, as the amenities and little extra touches made us feel so at home and comfortable, Can’t say enough about the outdoor space! It was such a comfortable area to relax and enjoy the water, beautiful sunrises, and even fishing from the pier. Ruth and Steve were perfect hosts, checking on us several times just to make sure we didn’t need anything. They even provided fishing tips, along with the best line rigging and some bait. This place is definitely on our list of places we’d like to stay again. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

A 5-Star Stay at The Bay House

The Bay House has everything you need to relax indoors and outdoors. Outside we enjoyed the great fishing pier - caught a flounder! The outdoor kitchen was set up to boil the blue crabs we harvested from the pier and to grill the fresh shrimp, oysters and veggies we got from local fish markets and farm stands nearby. The outdoor sitting areas have wonderful views of the sunrise, the bay, and beautiful birds passing through as they migrate back to their northern homes during May. The house is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. Definitely worth a stay and deserves five stars!

Great Stay!

We have a group of 8 men in their early 60’s that have a group golfing outing each year. All 8 of us agree this is a world class place to stay. The outdoor entertainment area was the highlight of the trip. A great place to enjoy the view and spend time with family & friends. The house itself was very clean with plenty of room for all of us. I highly recommend The Bay House for any occasion. Thank you to the owner who communicated each day to make sure we had everything we needed. 5+ Star Review well deserved.

Wonderful Bay House

We have a wonderful stay at the Bay House. The Host was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. The Bay House is a beautiful property, the Kitchen had everything we needed and very comfortable in all regards. The Exterior Patio was where we spend most of our time, this area is also beautiful. We grilled on the outdoor grill, and really enjoyed the LP Fire Pit. Sunrises and Moonrises were outstanding. We also spent some time on the Pier to watch the Moonrise and relax. I would absolutely recommend the Bay House, and we will be back to visit again.
