Come Relax and Enjoy the outdoors at our Beautiful Bay front home

Middle Bay Hideaway is a beautiful four bedroom, two and a half bath private home that overlooks the scenic Mobile Bay. You'll enjoy incredible views from the living room, kitchen and master bedroom, but our whole families favorite area to hang out is the back porch! Enjoy your days fishing, crabbing, kayaking, boating, or just enjoying the view on the pier. You may also love spending time at the beach, swimming in your own private pool, or simply relaxing and reading a good book in the porch swing. Take in the gorgeous sunrise over the bay as you enjoy your morning coffee or relax with a glass of wine while sitting by the firepit at night. We also have a private pier for fishing and crabbing. No Boat slip. We are only 2 miles from the nearest boat launch, 15 minutes from the beaches of Dauphin Island, and 5 minutes from the nearest grocery store. We offer a gourmet kitchen for those who enjoy cooking your own meals, but we are also close to many fabulous restaurants for a wonderful meal out. You will not find better seafood anywhere else! We have WiFi available for your internet needs and TV's in every bedroom. We offer Direct TV service or log-in to your streaming channels. A few of our favorite local activities is hiking the Audubon Bird Sanctuary trails on Dauphin Island, riding bikes on the Island, touring the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, touring Fort Gaines, riding the Ferry over to Fort Morgan, Cedar Point Fishing Pier, Bellingrath Gardens and Home, and spending the day on the West End of Dauphin Island. If you love to fish, you are in for a treat. Some of the best charter fishing boats are right out of Dauphin Island. Where the largest fishing rodeo is held every July. We are only 20 minutes to the nearest Walmart and they also make deliveries directly to our home. We are 20 minutes to Mobile where we have a brand new Top Golf and Dave And Busters. Great for a girls weekend getaway, a guys fishing or golf trip, and family vacations. We are only about 45 minutes to the casinos of Biloxi, Ms. There is something for everyone to enjoy!!! Come stay with Middle Bay Hideaway and make memories you'll talk about for years! We love to share our Southern Hospitality!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms.

The house has a great layout, especially if you have really little ones. No stairs—great for all ages. The views are AMAZING! Get your coffee ready for gorgeous sunrises! Only 20 minutes to Dauphin Island for tons more to do! We truly enjoyed our time there, and we hope to get back for warmer weather.

This house was everything it said it would be! Spacious enough to comfortably sleep 8 people and room for everyone to spread out. The pool was lovely and a staple activity when we were at the house, and the view-especially the sunrises each morning-were simply breathtaking! Close enough to everything to be convenient with several local places to grab food when we didn’t want to cook. Definitely recommend this home and will enjoy staying there again when we return to the area!

Girls Trip Getaway

The house was very inviting and was plenty big enough for our group of 8 women. We enjoyed the pool and beds were comfortable. It’s great that there is an ice maker in the kitchen and it could keep up with our group. We had a wonderful dinner cooked by Southern Traditions Catering, and the house was a great base camp for beach activities. We took the ferry one day and highly recommend that! It was all a great experience.

Great sunrise location

Close proximity to Dauphin Island beaches and attractions yet far enough away to be quiet and secluded. Freighters and fishing boats passed by day and night. Pelicans, Egrets, Cranes and Eagles visited often. This is the spot to watch the perfect sunrise. The pool is not heated, but the sun warmed it enough to use in March. Owners were very helpful and shared preferred eateries and activities that were spot on. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Bay House

We had a wonderful stay at the Beautiful Bay House. The house was exactly as described and had everything that we needed. We loved the gas Firepit on the patio. The Sunrises and Moon rises were outstanding. It was too cold to swim in the Pool, but it would be wonderful to use in the warmer weather. I would recommend the Beautiful Bay House to anyone.

We booked this location for a fishing weekend for my husband and four sons. It was a plus that the beach was only 15 minutes away. Check in was super simple and the property was AMAZING! The kitchen is truly a chef's kitchen with everything you can think of needing. The beds were comfortable, the views were amazing, and the amenities were perfect. The pool was cold in March, but my boys did not mind at all. The laundry room had so many pool toys and floats to play with. There was a basketball goal, footballs, baby swings on the porch and dock, games for the family, books to read, and tvs in every room. The outdoor space was our favorite! The peer was long and stunning. The water was crystal clear. The boys swam and fished. Crab cages were ready for us to us, and we caught some. My guys and me had an amazing weekend! Dauphin Island was 15 minutes away, which we enjoyed two of the four days. Walmart delivery was quick, and local seafood was great. I had to message the owners a couple times about minor things. Theybwere super quick to respond and very nice. Love this property! Can not wait to go back.

A refreshing family spring break trip with all the comforts of home

This rental was literally the best vacation home I’ve rented. Beyond the fact that it was beautifully decorated, The host was so very nice and accommodating for anything we requested or any questions we had. The HUGE open concept kitchen was fully stocked with any cookware or serveware item you could think of, it was a perfect place to gather with our visiting family and friends. We had 2 kids under 4 years old and there was so much room for everyone that it felt so comfortable and spacious. Overall we were sad to leave at the end of the weekend, this home felt like such a welcome retreat. We want to stay again next year!

An amazing piece of Alabama

This place was perfect for our stay. The house and grounds were amazing. We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the pool and the view of the bay. If you’re wanting to kick back and relax, it’s perfect. Part way through our stay we had trouble with the air conditioner and contacted the host. It was late in the evening before she saw our message, but she had someone there early the next morning to address the issue. Eventually it was resolved. Thanks, Paula. If we ever head back to southern Alabama, we’ll definitely check to see if Middle Bay Hideaway is available.

Pretty property right off Mobile Bay

The property was in the perfect location. My husband was able to enjoy some time fishing on the property. The rest of us enjoyed being able to watch and swim in the pool. It was nice to be 15 min from a public beach! The beds were comfy, and the house was very clean. The only downfall was that the pools pump shut off and we didn’t know, we were not sure of the pool schedule so we were not sure if/when someone was going to come check it. So the last two days we didn’t get to enjoy the pool at we would have liked.

Amazing! First trip in a couple years due to deaths, surgeries and tornado recovery. I wanted to relax before total knee replacement next week. We were so happy here! Beautifully decorated, the kitchen is a cook’s dream. So nice to have the pool overlooking the bay. I spent a lot of time on an air mattress doing my preop exercises. Sent pictures to friends to instigate a girls getaway.. Good restaurants and grocery store nearby.
