We have stayed here many times, and, each time, we are overwhelmed with the quality and tranquility of the stay. - Jefferson M. 5/5 Great Bay Stay Property was nice and clean, comfortable and stocked with all we needed for our stay. Spent most of our time on the pier and caught croakers, catfish, redfish, sting rays, mullet, crabs, and a dog shark. Slept well and had a restful stay. Even got in on a small jubilee, a real bonus. Highly recommend for small families or couples. - Doug U. 5/5 Sitting on the dock of the bay!!! We loved our stay at this property!! It has beautiful views of the bay! We absolutely loved the covered dock and spent many hours on it enjoying the water. The house had everything g we needed - cozy, great views - really just perfect for the two of us! Thanks so much to our hosts! We would definitely rent again! - Rebekah C. 5/5 The perfect get-a-way! My family absolutely loved our time at this tucked-away jewel! We kayaked, paddle boarded, picked up dinner from Jesse’s, and ate and drank in the sun. Will definitely be back! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. - Emily H.

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.

The house is super cute and cozy. The pier is a little unstable and definitely not safe if you have small children (we didn’t, but just FYI). We caught a few gafftop and a black tip shark from the pier. It was a nice, quiet little getaway.
