Fairhope Cottage on Mobile Bay with Private Pier – Pet Friendly
Fairhope rentals on the bay are a favorite for Gulf Coast travelers. This Mobile Bay cottage allows for kayaking, fishing, crabbing and boating from your private pier. The covered wharf promptly situated over the bay provides an additional space away from the world under blue skies & magnificent sunsets. Plenty of blue crabs & fish to catch here. Our Mobile Bay vacation home rentals are perfectly situated just minutes from downtown Fairhope while just 30 miles from Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Second time staying here and will again next year. The cottage has all the modern amenities, but still has the feel of a cabin on the bay. It’s a great location, about equidistant from Fairhope, Gulf Shores, Magnolia Springs and Bob Secour. The sunsets cannot be beat. Just a great spot for a romantic getaway.

Great little cottage next to the Bay. If you enjoy fishing with the kids, this place has a private pier where you can catch plenty of small fish that entertained my family. We even caught a few blue crabs that we had for a dinner snack. This cottage comfortably fits a family of 4-5, and the morning views are calming and so beautiful. The drive to Gulf Shores is not bad, and the Fairhope downtown area is a nice place to walk around for a bit. We enjoyed our stay and will be back to Fairhope again.

We had an amazing time at this home. So peaceful and relaxing. The home was clean, comfortable, and perfect. We felt cozy and right at home. It is a short distance to parks and town, and not far from Gulf Shores, where there’s so much to do. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning. It was a perfect stay.

Was a wonderful place to stay. We had a very quick one night stay. The kids wished they could have stayed longer to fish, kayak, enjoy the bay and explore the area a little more! Will have to plan another trip. Do wish the beds had been a bit more comfortable but overall a great place to stay!! The view of the bay is beautiful!
Another great stay at the Baby Bay House. Never disappoints and those sunsets over Mobile Bay are the prettiest on earth!
If you're looking for peace and quiet this is the place. The view across the water is gorgeous and the sunsets are breathtaking.
Looking for peace and quiet on the water ? This is your place ! Peaceful and just easy .
We enjoyed the three night stay over the New Year — it was a peaceful and relaxing time for us and our two pups — we especially loved the sunsets!! Thank you for having us!!
The house is clean and comfortable and has a great view across the bay. The deck and pier great for coffee in the mornings and sunsets in the evening. We were very pleased with everything and would gladly stay there again!
Great place inside and out! The beds were uncomfortable for us, but I think a good mattress topper would take care of that. We plan on coming back! 😊
Nice quiet place to stay with a great view.
Great spot on the water with a covered dock. You get exactly what is described, and it checks all the boxes. Hard to beat sunset views over the bay!
It's a peaceful spot to relax. You can be away from it all, or go to the local attractions. Check out the Point Clear area and Jesse's!
