About this property

Waterfront Home with Dock!


  • Enjoy dinners, sunsets and star gazing from the private dock 200' out on Mobile Bay. Explore the bay with our 2 Kayaks, relax in the Adirondack chairs on the boathouse or fish from the pier after a visit to the Bait shop.
    Pets Welcome for a fee, please include them in your guest list when booking.
    The house has a deck facing the Bay if you want to stay close to the kitchen for snacks and drinks. County Road 1 offers quiet walks in the morning and the marsh wildlife waking up offers an incredible experience of sights and sounds.
    Fairhope's quaint downtown is 11 miles North, convenient but far enough to keep the city lights from drowning out the magnificent night sky. The beaches of Gulf Shores are a 35-minute drive South, or head North for the city lights of Mobile at about the same distance.

I would definitely stay again at this property. The waterfront views are beautiful and the property was comfortably spacious. The house is conveniently located not far from Fairhope, The Grand Hotel, and grocery stores and restaurants. We stayed on a cold weekend so we didn’t go to the Gulf beach, but I’m thinking it’s not far.

Breathtaking Sunsets

My family and I really enjoyed staying at the Kayak the Bay. It was very nice, clean, comfortable, and quiet with all the needed amenities. The master suite was very spacious and had an excellent view of the bay. Also had great views from the living and dining rooms. We really enjoyed sitting in the sunroom and on the deck admiring the beautiful bay. The pier was amazing! The host was very pleasant, hospitable, and responsive. We have been staying at bay houses for over 15 years, and this has been one of the best! Looking foward to returning!

Great Weekend Escape

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. We had her brother and his wife, her sister and her husband, visit us while we were there and it was a great accommodation for our family visiting time together. The house was immaculate and the pier a dream. We will definitely book again at our next available free time. Thanks again for making our stay so warm, comfortable and memorable.

A Great Place to Kick Back

This was an excellent property for my sister & I to relax and recharge during a weekend of family birthdays. The house was a perfect size, clean and welcoming. The owner was very responsive. The view of The Bay was outstanding! Great pier! The kayaks were a big hit with my sister and the flat area was perfect for walking and biking. Overall, I rank this house a 5! I’ve already shared the details with other family members and plan to return soon.
