Great relaxing getaway!

James’ Riverhouse on the Fish River was just what we needed. The house was exceptionally clean, had everything we needed and very spacious. The dock was the perfect place to watch the sunset. Great neighbors, really enjoyed meeting them! Thanks James for sharing your home with us.

Great house in a great location!

Everything about our stay was wonderful. All communication in advance was prompt and seamless. Property was as described-so clean and totally stocked with everything we needed! Bed so comfortable. We especially enjoyed the dock-fishing and catching crabs. Location is convenient to restaurants, shopping and golf courses. Can’t wait to return!

Wonderfully quiet waterfront retreat!

We had a wonderful quiet few days of rest and relaxation. The house was very clean and comfortable. The coffee bar is a very nice touch. Our pups loved watching the birds and fish jump from the dock. We will definitely try to book again!

Awesome river retreat!

The house was clean and had all the comforts you could ever want. Fully stocked kitchen, great mattresses and bed sheets, and the wharf was the best! We lounged on the hanging beds and sunbathed on the lily pad all day watching the boats go by. Host was very responsive and we appreciated all the care and details. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed having time with 2 of our grands and teaching them about catching crabs in the traps on the pier. They thought it was so cool to have kid friendly dinnerware too.

Peaceful River getaway

We spent a lot of time on the dock, since the weather was beautiful. Caught some crabs in the traps & used them for gumbo. The house had all that we needed, and the bed was very comfortable. I slept great! Very enjoyable and hope to visit again soon!

Couldn’t be better

This property is extremely nice. Very clean house with amazing beds a nice bedrooms and a nice size living/dining room to accommodate the whole family. This property is located right on fish river with one of the nicest boat docks I’ve seen an a big back yard with plenty of room for your pets to play. I really liked the location away from all the traffic a red lights but still only fifteen minutes from Foley. I would recommend this property to everyone looking to stay in the area. I will definitely be comming back.

Perfect getaway

Jame's home was complete with beautiful views, coffee bar, and fluffy hotel towels. The kayaks were a perfect way to view the river and the other lovely homes in the area. We sat for hours watching fish jump and birds fly. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Absolutely wonderful

We came for Christmas and the house was just as pictured plus beautifully decorated for Christmas, with a tree and all! The coffee bar was fully stocked and such a nice “extra”. The location was convenient to Fairhope. Right on the river which was so nice. We will definitely be back this summer.

Great visit to the Gulf Coast

This property is located on Fish River with neighbors but no one across the river. The sun setting behind the trees as we had beverages on the beautiful dock was a nice way to end our days. We baited the crab traps that were there and were rewarded everyday. The house was comfortable and the beds were some of the best we have experienced in a VRBO. Easy house to stay in. James and Mary were great to work with. Would stay here again.

Wonderful weekend vacation

It was very peaceful. Super nice neighbors. I took 2 foster kids. The 11 year old boy had never been to the beach. The kids spent a lot of time in the water at the house. When they weren’t in the water they were fishing. They caught a lot of catfish. I think they enjoyed swimming at the house better than the beach! We’re definitely planning to go back!

Beautiful Waterfront Property

We had a great time! Very clean and comfortable. Central to everything. Easy ride to OWA and everything Foley has to offer, as well as Fairhope. Very thoughtful touches, such as dog bowls and treats, snack bars, coffee, and even cotton balls and q-tips in bathrooms. The boathouse has two bed swings which the kids loved. We will be back!

Amazing week and wedding ceremony!

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, we absolutely loved it! We had some family come down with us from Illinois and friends from Daphne. We had a wedding ceremony on the deck that turned out way better than we ever imagined. Wish I could post a pic on here! We will definitely be back and our friends from Daphne already told their kids to rent it when they come down for a visit.

Long weekend getaway

My husband, mother and 2 sweet pups decided to check out Fairhope for a long weekend but wanted to stay somewhere that our dogs would have fun and that would be relaxing/peaceful. We definitely found that staying here! The hosts were very friendly, responsive and made the whole process very easy! The property was incredibly beautiful and the home was very charming. Beds were very comfortable! The hosts went out of their way to also make sure that our pups enjoyed their time as well by having a basket with thoughtful items provided. We can’t say enough good things and will hopefully be back sometime soon!
