Gorgeous view & very nice condo! The beach closest could use an update or bring your own chairs and umbrellas. The kitchen is fully stocked & we had everything we needed there! We usually pack some extra trash bags, laundry pods, hand soap,& beach towels. Would suggest an update to the doors in the condo, the master bedroom doesn’t lock and the guest bathroom door has issues closing, the trifold doors in the laundry room are broken and the main patio door curtain has issues with the rod, other than that the condo was clean and beautifully decorated. We loved the location and the view was phenomenal! The pool area is nice as well as the gym. We love westwinds and will definitely return!We did have some mystery noises at night that sounded like someone was moving furniture above us but we were on the top floor…we assumed maybe it was the water pipes or utility room next door…it was bothersome the first couple of nights but we turned the fan on high and that helped mask the noise.

Great stay at Belle Vue Retreat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Fairhope during the July 4th holiday week. The reservation and check-in process was easy and the Belle Vue Retreat cottage was exactly as advertised and the owners were very helpful before and during our stay. The property was perfect for our group of 7 people and we made good use of the wharf and had a great time catching crabs using the crab traps that were available for use. We also loved the beautiful sunsets over Mobile Bay. Overall, an excellent visit.

Awesome

This is a very clean and recently updated 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home. Has a brand new covered dock with lights. It also has good air conditioning and a tankless water heater so we never ran out of hot water. We were in Alabama for a softball tournament and this home is 19 minutes from the Foley sports complex. We will definitely stay here again.

Best trip we have taken as a family!

We take 6-8 trips a year all over the country. If you are looking to do absolutely nothing and unwind and get away from everything this is the best spot!!! Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful beyond compare!! We actually booked another stay at this property while we were still there on the dock finishing!! We did a 2 week trip and the morning we had to get up and leave to go to our next stop in Navarre beach Florida we were so sad! Who is sad to go to a Florida beach?!? That's how zen this little house is!!

It was our family trip for summer vacation. When we first entered the house, we were all in awe. The ocean from the house was really spectacular. The house was so clean, and all the conditions in the house were perfect for us to enjoy a family trip. Tina replied really quickly and was always kind. Once again, it was a very grateful trip. I'll definitely come back again. It's the best.

Wonderful Getaway

Tina’s home on the bay was ideal for our family getaway with grandparents and 2 teenage boys. The home was clean, spacious, and comfortable. There are several details that we really enjoyed such as the large master suite overlooking the bay, the comfortable sun room surrounded by windows which was perfect for family time, and the covered dock where we fished and caught crabs. The kitchen was well stocked and convenient for cooking meals. Tina was excellent with communication and we look forward to returning soon!

From the beginning to the end, Tina was readily available and attentive to our needs. She left a personal letter to welcome us into her home. That really made me feel special; the fresh flowers were a special touch. Even though it rained while we were there, we were able to capture the most amazing sunset. I would recommend this home.
