Watch Dolphins, Bay Sunsets at this Eastern Shore Vacation Rental in Fairhope, Alabama

Visit this Bayfront Water World to enjoy all Mobile Bay has to offer. Surround yourself with nature and wildlife as you sink into a deeper state of self awareness and wellness in the comfort of a well stocked bay front cottage. Our Fairhope waterfront rentals on the bay provide a serenity that can only be cultivated with fewer distractions, yet with downtown Fairhope only a short drive there is no need to miss out on local shops or restaurants. Take the family to Weeks Bay National Reserve for a fun ecology lesson or run into downtown Fairhope for shopping and dinner. Point Clear waterfront estates and the historic Grand Hotel are landmarks to note while running back and forth.

The oversized window in the dining area provides a panoramic view of the bay, and notably the sunsets. The open floor plan continues onto the back porch overlooking the bay, making for a great family or group get together. Reading, sipping coffee or sipping wine all make good use of the lounge chairs, depending on the time of the day. Connect to the Cambridge amplifier via bluetooth to fill the living and dining area with your favorite music. The offerings in the walnut bar are complimentary for your samplling. The fire pit and charcoal grill make for additional outdoor celebrations. This Fairhope cottage was designed for detaching from the outside world without sacrificing comfort.

Activities in the palm of your hand include kayaking, fishing, crabbing, bird watching, and deep relaxation. We a provide kayak and paddle boards for your enjoyment via private water access. Within 3 miles or less are public parks and beaches, a boat launch, fishing charters and Pelican Point (aptly named). The road is well suited for joggers and cyclists. The back deck provides front row seats to infamous Bay Sunsets as you unwind the day and herons perched atop old pier pilings. Schools of dolphins are a common sighting as well, right in your backyard!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Russell, May 2025 AirBnB

What a great place to stay. This bay front cottage was very clean, spacious yet cozy and inviting. Great colors and tasteful decor really locked in the salt life vibe. We enjoyed breath taking sunsets over the bay. Time on the deck was peaceful and serene. The fire pit out back was a great touch. We would return and highly recommend this place for your stay in the Fairhope area.

Great space to get away! Very cozy and comfortable. Also a great view. Saw dolphins from the deck several times. Even went kayaking and they were swimming all around us!
