About this property

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.

Spring at Kayak the Bay

Overall we had a very nice and relaxing weekend. It was obvious that significant amounts have been spent on repairs and upgrades to the exterior of the property, stairs, decks, boathouse and pier. Unfortunately the interior has been somewhat neglected. Areas of heavy paint chipping, rotten areas around windows, missing sun screen on the north west side bay facing window and broken window sill all need repair. Additionally we were not advised that the A/C was locked at 72 degrees and our guest in the back bedroom found it quite hot and difficult to sleep.

Class A Experience!

We were very impressed with the property and the whole process went smooth start to finish. I really appreciated all the thoughtful and personal touches and the owner's concern we had everything we needed and we really did and more. Since it was cool when we were there I loved the sun porch with windows you could open and comfy chairs. That was the pups favorite room too as watching the big birds out the windows was a treat for them. Everything was clean, beds comfy, so we were comfortable "living" there all week, tastefully decorated too. The pier was crazy cool and the best one I have experienced. We will definitely be back when it is warmer so we can use it more. Wonderful host! Ten Stars! (don't tell everybody)

Wonderful and convenient

This is my 2nd stay at this property. The house is clean and comfortably furnished. The pier is a huge asset and a perfect place for sea bird & sunset viewing! Very convenient location. The host is super responsive and provides everything you could need. I hope to return next year.

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.

A Great Place to Kick Back

This was an excellent property for my sister & I to relax and recharge during a weekend of family birthdays. The house was a perfect size, clean and welcoming. The owner was very responsive. The view of The Bay was outstanding! Great pier! The kayaks were a big hit with my sister and the flat area was perfect for walking and biking. Overall, I rank this house a 5! I’ve already shared the details with other family members and plan to return soon.

Visiting Family

Our family was in south Alabama to visit extended family. Staying on the water was a great decision. Our son loved going out on the dock and the home was spacious for our family of four. Douglas was responsive and helpful when we had to make an adjustment to our booking.

Booked last minute fleeing the hurricane. We will be back. Owner was super nice and knew we had nowhere to go and let us check in early. My babies both caught their first fish off the dock and the sunsets rival the best Florida sunsets.

Classic Mobile Bay Experience

This is a very nice property in great condition on the shore of Mobile Bay. It's a very comfortable house for 6-7 folks depending on ages and it has a dock that is very well maintained with comfortable chairs for relaxing and enjoying the great sunsets. Communication with the host was excellent and very prompt. We have family in the area and rent occasionally when everyone is in town because we need the extra room. It's nice to find a place on the bay where we can experience what the bayfront has to offer. I would rent here again without question. Thank you for a great stay!

Kayak at the Bay

We had a wonderful time at Kayak at the Bay! We spent a lot of time out on the dock fishing and spending time together as a family. We caught several trout and catfish with the help of our friends down at the Fishermen’s Discount. Thanks to the fully stocked kitchen we were able to cook most of our dinners, but we did enjoy eating at Kraver’s Seafood in Daphne and Another Broken Egg Cafe in Fairhope. Make sure to stop by Fairhope Soap Company while you’re visiting and pick up some local soaps and bath-bombs for the kiddos! We are very thankful for Mr. Douglas’s hospitality while we were down visiting Fairhope. He was always very prompt on answering questions and providing recommendations. All in all we had a wonderful end of the summer vacation at Kayak at the Bay!

About the host

Hosted by Douglas

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.
