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!
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.

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!

Wonderful place to relax

I was there just a short time but enjoyed every minute. The dock gave it just that much more of A for me. Sitting on the dock of the bay was very relaxing. Wish I had more time to enjoy the kayaks.

Comfortable and Relaxing

The property was as described, albeit with some minor updates since the pictures were taken. Everything was clean and adequately maintained with one exception of a few dirty plates that were in the cupboard. These were obviously used and probably accidentally placed back in the cupboard instead of being washed first. The house pictures and description indicated a drip coffee maker with a grinder so we packed bean coffee. Only to discover it had been swapped out for a Keurig K cup maker which also required descaling the first morning before it would allow coffee to be made. I assume this was a time based requirement and no big deal to perform once we googled the descaling process. It just wasn’t expected on the first morning. There was also no garden hose outside for rinsing things off such as fishing equipment, water toys, etc.The dock is very nice and we spent a lot of time out there fishing, crabbing and watching the sunsets. The dock has an enclosed area which is nice in that it has a sink with running water and provides a place to put things overnight so you don’t have to carry stuff back and forth to the house. It also provides shade for the afternoon sun.All in all it is a nice property in a nice location and with only minor inconveniences and we would definitely stay here again.

Celebrating our Mothers 89th Birthday! We all enjoyed our stay. It was very peaceful and relaxing. Mama didn’t go out on the pier. Me and my sister did. Got a bit of sun. What made me happy was that they enjoyed themselves!Host Douglas was always available if or when needed! Thank you so much. Hope to come back with my husband!

Spring at Kayak the Bay

Overall we had a very nice and relaxing weekend. It was obvious that significant amounts have been spent on repairs and upgrades to the exterior of the property, stairs, decks, boathouse and pier. Unfortunately the interior has been somewhat neglected. Areas of heavy paint chipping, rotten areas around windows, missing sun screen on the north west side bay facing window and broken window sill all need repair. Additionally we were not advised that the A/C was locked at 72 degrees and our guest in the back bedroom found it quite hot and difficult to sleep.

Class A Experience!

We were very impressed with the property and the whole process went smooth start to finish. I really appreciated all the thoughtful and personal touches and the owner's concern we had everything we needed and we really did and more. Since it was cool when we were there I loved the sun porch with windows you could open and comfy chairs. That was the pups favorite room too as watching the big birds out the windows was a treat for them. Everything was clean, beds comfy, so we were comfortable "living" there all week, tastefully decorated too. The pier was crazy cool and the best one I have experienced. We will definitely be back when it is warmer so we can use it more. Wonderful host! Ten Stars! (don't tell everybody)

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!
