About this property

Ideally located on Weeks Bay just south of the 98 bridge, you will find the very last home before Fish River opens up to Weeks Bay. Do you Chase a sunset? You will have one every day of the year here, and even when its cloudy somehow the most spectacular sunsets emerge! Looking to fish? Catch a mess right off the pier or head out the gulf. Clean them right out on the dock and then have fresh fish for supper. The pier puts you out over the water and gives you 360 degree water views you will never forget. Need a boat dock? We have one. Trailer parking? You can launch your boat 1 mile away and park your trailer here. Want privacy? You will feel like your alone at a State Park. The Cabin was built in early 1960's . We call it the Last Shack. There is Plenty of room with a Large screened in porch with additional sleeping. The kitchen, dinning and living are all open and have views of Weeks Bay. No frills but amazing views and beautiful nature. Weeks Bay is a Wildlife Preserve and our cabin is nestled among it. Do you enjoy bird watching? Dolphins at back door? Fishing from a pier? We have all that on the property. But then You have Short drive to quaint Fairhope with many shops and restaurants. The best spa in the area is at The Grand Hotel 15 minutes away. My favorite for seafood is just a five minute drive. But the best view...You are on it! Kayaks are offered free of charge, but we do charge for boat docking.

Haven’t done this since we were kids

The last shack is like stepping back in time to your grandma’s tiny house with the best warm memories of staying outside till the sun goes down then gathering in the small kitchen to cook what you caught and sleeping like worn out lol kids. Don’t expect 5 star accommodations just like you wouldn’t at granny’s old house. But do expect clean beds, a nice tub, sunshine, seagulls laughing, crab traps, fishin lines and cold drinks. (Forgot how hard it is to be patient when waiting on crabs in a trap)Sometimes we put too much into the “finishes” of a place but forget about the simple pleasures of making memories over making over the paint on the soft close cabinets(none here so don’t expect it) We had the BEST (hottest ha) fresh crabs ever and will never forget laughing as our tears ran hot and tried not to touch it with our five alarm hot boiled seafood fingers!! A memory unlike any other VRBO.

Awesome place if your looking to fish!!

Guys spent all their time on the awesome dock..caught a couple big ones that we were able to cook in the very well stocked kitchen. Only regret was we didn't bring the boat.

Great vacation destination!

We loved our stay! The check in process was SO easy, the owner sent very helpful instructions for local recommendations in the area, and the cabin itself was absolutely beautiful and clean! The view from the dock is one of the best I've ever seen. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. I would highly recommend this property.

Family Getaway

Great rustic cabin with dock, kids enjoyed fishing and catching crab. We had a crab boil with the 12 crab we caught and the mornings and evenings on the back porch overlooking the water was SO relaxing. Thanks for having us!!! Jeff

About the host

Hosted by Connie Fidler Glassford

Together with my husband, sister and brother-in-law we purchased this property and have spent many days bringing it back to life. My family is a farming family in the area and we have always longed for a spot on the water. A place to park the boats and leave them! No trailering. A place where we all can get together. No Frills, just hang out, boat and fish. I have been chasing a sunset all my life. I LOVE sunsets. This property has the best sunsets you can imagine.

Why they chose this property

So ....the story goes....Thirty or so years ago the property to the north, the one with a really nice home and boat dock, was for sale. At that time the house was not there, just a tiny boat house. But it was For Sale. I would drive up to the water, park and call the realtor. The property was expensive. I could not afford it. But I would continue to go down and visit the property and call the realtor. The price got down as low as they were going and I knew I would just never be able to afford it. I turned over my shoulder and looked at our now cabin, and said, Lord, if that home is ever on the market please let me be in a position to buy it!! Well, Im a realtor now, and low and behold the property came on the market. I knew right where it was located, called the family and headed down to be greeted by a large pod of Dolphins! We didn't have an easy time purchasing as there were Mutiple offers. But we finally came out the winner. God answered my prayer and he his timing was perfect!!

What makes this property unique

This home has amazing sunsets, huge screened in porch, unbelievable wildlife, fish and fowl. A boat dock and pier that really puts you out over the water. If someone placed you here you would think you were in the middle of a secluded state park. You can fish off the pier and fry up supper. So very private. You can sit on the dock and relax. You can build a fire and watch the sunset in the fall and winter or hang your feet in the water off the dock in the summer. Kayaks are available free of charge. There are mooring whips to safely dock your boat. You will relax!!
