Great place but the dock is super shallow. We only had about a foot of water at low tide so it did not work for our boat.

Awesome Vacation!

This house is extremely nice and the host has thought of everything that you need for your stay. We had a blast, caught a lot of fish. Enjoyed the pier and water. Back porch and downstairs seating areas are both phenomenal. I brought my kayak, fished out in the bay every day. Our vacation was the best. Thank you!

This home is clean and beautiful and absolutely had everything we could possibly ask for in a vacation home. The furnishings were beautiful and comfortable, the kitchen well stocked with dishes and cookware, the porch was lovely, the pier was in perfect condition.

This was our second time staying in this home. Once again, we had a wonderful and relaxing time. Always wish we could stay longer. House had everything we needed and more. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen very well equipped. Screened in porch is perfect spot for morning tea or coffee. The dock is amazing! The host has added a few pieces of furniture in the kitchen area and rearranged the family room. All great additions!

Fantastic place to stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this bayfront home in beautiful Fairhope. Very clean beds, house and plenty of amenities for the stay. We couldn’t decide on which area to relax as far as outside goes because both outside areas were very relaxing and inviting. Best place we have reserved so far. Homeowners were very accommodating and prompt in response to any concerns. I would absolutely want to stay here again in the future. The pier and dock were icing on the cake for this stay. Just a 40 minute drive to Gulf Shores as well.

Perfection

In 20 years of visiting Mobile Bay, this may have been the most peaceful stay. The house is beautiful and well appointed. The screened porch overlooking the water was our home most all week. The lift was a tremendous bonus. The homeowners and the neighbors were all very friendly. We highly recommend this home.

A Holiday to remember

This was to be a magical time for us- to be all together (yet away from home and all our traditions) with all our spread out grown children and our first brand new grandchild😍 This house was the perfect one for us- Melanie had it decorated beautifully- the kitchen was so well stocked because of course I had to cook all their favorite Christmas dishes! Beds super comfy - view was gorgeous- and Melanie was so gracious and became a new friend though it all!! This is the place to go!

Absolutely great place!

This property is incredible! It's obvious the owners had a tremendous amount of detail in preparing the property; eleganlty constructed, beautiful interior finishes, quality appliances, well stocked, TVs everywhere, SUPER clean...just a great home! That is just the house, the private pier is equally as incredible as the home. Tie a shrimp on and throw it out you will definitely catch something in short order! Finally owners were a pleasure to do business with and very responsive to any questions! Definitely a must return to for us!

Gulf coast stay

Our stay was amazing! We loved everything about this place and location. The biggest bonus of course the views of the bay and the dock. Everyone was happy with their space and accommodations. This house has absolutely everything you could need or want onsite! Fully loaded kitchen for cooking. You have great outdoor spaces to gather as well. The dock was exceptionally equipped with fishing gear, crabbing gear, you name it. Loved every minute of it! Would immediately book this again. Owners very responsive and kind! Hands down one of the best stays we’ve ever had ( and I’ve done many VRBO and ABNB).

Thank Goodness we found Freyday!

Despite inclement weather the week before our arrival, we found the house in tiptop shape. Communication with the owner was great. She was super nice! Accommodations were VERY comfortable and they had thought of everything that a renter might forget or need to make their vacation extra great! HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for enjoy Gulf Shores, but avoid the traffic, crowds etc, because we would call this Gulf Shores adjacent! Close enough to enjoy everything, but far enough to avoid the chaos! Thanks again!!

Family vaca

Everything was on point! Clean✔️spacious✔️all the little extra touches ✔️ If there was any improvement I believe the guys would have preferred “softer” beds. The twin beds were truly firm but they did catch naps on the softer beds during the day. Otherwise there were no complaints to be had. Did NOT want to leave. It would be somewhere I could return to and recommend for others. Hostess was easy to communicate with too. PLUS I absolutely loved all the elephant decor … my kids knew that was a BIG win too❤️🐘

8 Days To Remember!

Melanie is an excellent hostess and everything she has on the property listing is accurate. If you want to unplug and let the Bay reconnect you to your life, then stay here. We spent every evening on the screened-in porch with an ever-changing sunset and moon rise. We snuck up there in the afternoons to take naps too when the fish weren't biting! We have vacationed on East Bay for six years and I can assure you this is one of the nicest properties available to rent. The next door neighbor became my fishing buddy too! We are coming back for sure! Thank you Melanie and Paul!
