Great house in a great location!
Everything about our stay was wonderful. All communication in advance was prompt and seamless. Property was as described-so clean and totally stocked with everything we needed! Bed so comfortable. We especially enjoyed the dock-fishing and catching crabs. Location is convenient to restaurants, shopping and golf courses. Can’t wait to return!

Couldn’t be better
This property is extremely nice. Very clean house with amazing beds a nice bedrooms and a nice size living/dining room to accommodate the whole family.
This property is located right on fish river with one of the nicest boat docks I’ve seen an a big back yard with plenty of room for your pets to play. I really liked the location away from all the traffic a red lights but still only fifteen minutes from Foley. I would recommend this property to everyone looking to stay in the area. I will definitely be comming back.

Wonderful!
We were in town for a Friday wedding so we only stayed a couple of nights...but wish we had planned for a longer stay! The house is cute and comfortable, like your Nana's home...but has everything that you might need, like a fancy hotel. I forgot a few things and figured I would have to make a trek to the grocery store, but they thought of everything. The dock was one of my favorite things...2 swinging beds and another swing, plus a full table and chairs for outdoor dining. The next door neighbor was very welcoming, too. Easy arrival and super-easy checkout. We'd love to return and bring our boat! Thank you for your generosity!

Wonderful weekend vacation
It was very peaceful. Super nice neighbors. I took 2 foster kids. The 11 year old boy had never been to the beach. The kids spent a lot of time in the water at the house. When they weren’t in the water they were fishing. They caught a lot of catfish. I think they enjoyed swimming at the house better than the beach! We’re definitely planning to go back!

Definitely Going Back
Perfect location for what we wanted - about 20 minutes to the outlets in Foley and 20 minutes to Fairhope. The house reminded us of an old fish camp. It's not fancy, but it is clean and ideal for spending your time outdoors. The dock is great for watching the sunset. The neighbors on both sides are friendly. We had a couple of questions while we were there. The property manager, Mary, was easy to reach and very helpful. My husband is eager to book our next stay. Thank you for your hospitality! We will definitely be back.

Amazing week and wedding ceremony!
Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, we absolutely loved it! We had some family come down with us from Illinois and friends from Daphne. We had a wedding ceremony on the deck that turned out way better than we ever imagined. Wish I could post a pic on here! We will definitely be back and our friends from Daphne already told their kids to rent it when they come down for a visit.

Happy is the River House
This was my second time to stay at the River House and it was everything, and more that I remembered! The hosts are simply amazing in their response and how they do all they can to be accomodating. Having gone through a long illness in the family and a death, all I wanted was peace and quiet - and I found it there. The house is ultra clean and up to date and everything works. I found out several months ago when I had to stay at a different property that not all VRBOs are as well maintained as this one... Bailey enjoyed the pelicans and the herons (from a safe distance). We sat on the porch Tuesday and I picked up my paintbrush and happily worked on a painting - the first time in over a year!
Just call me an ecstatic camper - I'll be seeing you again - 😉
Thank you again for the peace and quiet.

Awesome river retreat!
The house was clean and had all the comforts you could ever want. Fully stocked kitchen, great mattresses and bed sheets, and the wharf was the best! We lounged on the hanging beds and sunbathed on the lily pad all day watching the boats go by. Host was very responsive and we appreciated all the care and details. Would definitely stay here again.
