The tropical furnishings are casual and selected for your comfort and enjoyment. The fully equipped kitchen has Corian countertops, stove, refrigerator with in-door ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, a huge amount of cabinet storage and an eat-at counter for at least 12 people. A child high chair can be found in the Master walk-in Closet. All regular small appliances are included as well as extras such as a waffle-maker, slow-cooker and popcorn maker. The desk in the kitchen area features a list of services and activities available in the area and there is a cabinet stocked with books, movies, puzzles, games and playing cards. The two spacious living areas are complete with comfortable tropical furnishings, huge flat screen TV’s with DVD players, as well as on the lower level a Ping Pong table, and Playstation 2 with games. 'Blue Bayou' also features a convenient elevator that opens to either the Kitchen or the Master Suite.

There is a huge shaded upper balcony with plenty of relaxed seating, ceiling fans, gas grill and great views of the pool and Bayou. From the concrete sunning patio you can watch your kids playing and swimming in the pool or see fish or occasionally dolphins jumping in the Bayou. In addition to the lower covered decks next to the boat slips there is a cute covered waterfront 'shack' complete with counter top, running water and refrigerator. The 'shack' adjoins the HUGE built-in charcoal grill where you can grill your day's catch! This area also offers a nice gathering place in the shade and a casual outdoor dining table and umbrella next to the Bayou. We invite guests to bring their state license plate to date, sign and nail up in the party 'shack'. The waterfront also features two covered boat slips that will accommodate up to a 30 foot boat. There is a fish-cleaning station on the pier with a sink, running water and an area to filet your catch! Clean your fish, cook them on the grill and enjoy your meal sitting on the sheltered deck! There is lots of parking space for up to 6 cars and trailers in the large driveway and garage.

'Blue Bayou' is minutes by boat to the Gulf of Mexico. Cotton Bayou public beach access and the public boat launch are both 5 minutes away. There are also many miles of protected water and bays to explore with small boats, pontoons, and the 6 provided kayaks, complete with paddles and life jackets. Enjoy adventures leading to white sandy beach islands and waterfront restaurants like Tacky Jack's, Cobalt's, Lulu's and Pirate’s Cove!

Grocery and convenience stores such as Publix are very close and the outstanding Tanger Outlet mall is a 20 minute trip by car. There are all types of shopping, family activities, movies, and live concerts at the Wharf complex. The towns of Foley and Gulf Shores offer additional nearby entertainment and shopping experiences with outstanding restaurants in all directions. Visit the nearby quaint and historic antiquing town of Fairhope. You may want to venture further to explore Pensacola and Mobile, each about an hour away by car, or why not visit historic Fort Morgan which is about 30 miles west.

We think you'll find that Orange Beach is the best-kept secret along the shores of the Gulf. From the beautiful white sand, swaying palms and gorgeous ocean waters, to plenty of restaurants serving delectable seafood and icy drink concoctions, to limitless choices of fun activities and the serenity of a more casual lifestyle, Orange Beach promises to be your favorite vacation destination...and 'Blue Bayou' your favorite vacation home away from home.

This is the one!
If you are like me, you are researching 1000 properties trying to find the best one in your budget for your family. This is the one! The hosts are spectacular, the property is awesome and truly has everything you need. Out of 6 annual family vacays, this was the best! There is so much to do at the house and the beach was great! Just go by 10 am to get parking if you go to the closest one. We all had plenty of room even for 14 people. There were ample supplies of everything we needed, even bath towels! One of my favorite details was the amount of hooks to hang towels, swimsuits, etc., but there were so many moments that we said “I can’t believe they thought of that!” Book now, trust me, you will be so happy you did!

More than 5 stars!
We have a family of 10: grandparents, siblings, cousins with ages 13-70. This home was perfect for all ages. It is incredibly clean, organized, well stocked and designed around family. Not only is the location and size great but Susan and Bill provided continuous support, resources and information to assist us in planning our annual vacation. One day was a “wash-out” due to torrential rain. Due to the numerous and various activities available, the day was loaded with fun. We can not say enough good about our trip, due in large to Susan, Bill, and the Blue Bayou!!

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Susan Bosworth

Host profile image
When our children were growing up we made an annual pilgrimage to the Gulf. We vacationed in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama for years and then as the kids became adults and moved off to all corners of the country we looked for a way to bring everyone together at least once a year. This is when we decided to purchase a home in Orange Beach, not only for our reunions, but to share with other families and friends looking for a place to come together and make lasting memories. We were fortunate to find a beautiful home that is close to great fishing, wonderful Gulf-front beaches as well as back-water adventures leading to white sandy beach islands and all the fun amenities and activities of the Gulf Coast life. We are excited to share it with YOU!

Why they chose this property

We love Orange Beach and think it is the best kept secret along the shores of the Gulf. The slower, more casual lifestyle is so refreshing and the people are so welcoming and friendly.

What makes this property unique

'Blue Bayou' is a spacious and comfortable, fully furnished and beautifully decorated single-family vacation home that sleeps 12 to 14 guests comfortably! The home faces the Bayou and features an elevator, a private pool and 2 covered boat slips. The Gulf is only a few minutes away by boat and features fabulous fishing while the best boat ramp in Orange Beach is located close by at Cotton Bayou Boat Launch. There are also many miles of protected water and bays to explore with small boats, pontoons, and kayaks. Enjoy adventures leading to white sandy beach islands and fun restaurants and bars like Tacky Jack's, Cobalt's, and Pirates's Cove Restaurant and Bar.

The beautiful, private in-ground swimming pool is a great place to relax and perfect your tan while the kids swim and play! The pool can be heated if you desire. The covered front balcony or the covered pier area offer great places to gather and be out of the sun. There is lots of room for parking cars & boat trailers as well as 2 covered boat slips. There is fabulous shopping nearby and the Tanger outlet mall only about 30 minutes away by car. Restaurants and cute beach bars abound and there is always fantastic seafood being served at most establishments. Kids have a multitude of activities available to them from swimming and shelling to theme parks, aquariums, mini golf, and more! Adults love golf, fishing, swimming, shopping and dining...or just chilling and reading a great book! Friendly locals and a slower pace makes Orange Beach the place to be. A fabulous home base that is peaceful yet close to all the area's exciting activities makes Blue Bayou your 'Home away from Home'!
