About this property

Waterfront Home with Dock!


Enjoy dinners, sunsets and star gazing from the private dock 200' out on Mobile Bay. Explore the bay with our 2 Kayaks, relax in the Adirondack chairs on the boathouse or fish from the pier after a visit to the Bait shop.
Pets Welcome!
The house has a deck facing the Bay if you want to stay close to the kitchen for snacks and drinks. County Road 1 offers quiet walks in the morning and the marsh wildlife waking up offers an incredible experience of sights and sounds.
Fairhope's quaint downtown is 11 miles North, convenient but far enough to keep the city lights from drowning out the magnificent night sky. The beaches of Gulf Shores are a 35-minute drive South, or head North for the city lights of Mobile at about the same distance.

Wonderful place to relax

I was there just a short time but enjoyed every minute. The dock gave it just that much more of A for me. Sitting on the dock of the bay was very relaxing. Wish I had more time to enjoy the kayaks.

Breathtaking Sunsets

My family and I really enjoyed staying at the Kayak the Bay. It was very nice, clean, comfortable, and quiet with all the needed amenities. The master suite was very spacious and had an excellent view of the bay. Also had great views from the living and dining rooms. We really enjoyed sitting in the sunroom and on the deck admiring the beautiful bay. The pier was amazing! The host was very pleasant, hospitable, and responsive. We have been staying at bay houses for over 15 years, and this has been one of the best! Looking foward to returning!

Great house with stunning views of the bay! Found the house to be clean and as described. All three of the bedrooms are separated with the two larger ones being on opposite sides of the house. The master BR has windows looking out on the bay which offers beautiful views as you wake up. The living room is cozy and has a small sitting area in the front where you can enjoy views of the bay in climate control if it’s too hot outside. There is a large well equipped kitchen and dining area that have good view of the bay as well. The dock was the highlight of the property with a covered area out of sun and an extension in front of this were you can sit in the sun. House was a fairly quick drive to Magnolia Springs and Fairhope which offer great restaurants and shopping. Douglas was very responsive to all my questions and made check in a breeze.

Celebrating our Mothers 89th Birthday! We all enjoyed our stay. It was very peaceful and relaxing. Mama didn’t go out on the pier. Me and my sister did. Got a bit of sun. What made me happy was that they enjoyed themselves!Host Douglas was always available if or when needed! Thank you so much. Hope to come back with my husband!

Mobile Bay home

We stayed 3 nights. The place was clean. Id give it a 7. The bed in master was too soft and definitely needed new pillows and towels for the bathroom. The 4 days we were there we enjoyed immensely. it was great being on the bay. Douglas was very helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Douglas

Host profile image

I was born and raised at sea level on the Delaware Bay, my dad steamed blue crabs we caught in the Little River outside Little Creek. Found my way to Colorado with my career and experienced adventures up to 14,000 feet above sea level. I have now made my way back to an adventure that includes blue crabs and salt water without the snow!

Why they chose this property

With the metro area of Mobile, AL and the city attractions it provides 30 miles away to the North and the Gulf Coast beaches 28 miles to the South we are located on the Bay with herons, gulls cormorants, pelicans, mocking birds and a dark night sky that reveals glories every night. The sunsets off the dock rival any I've seen in my travels and there is the lapping of the bay on the bulkhead at night to rock you into slumber.
