★"My husband and I have stayed at our fair share of airbnbs and this has by far been the best one. It’s so beautifully decorated, we felt like we were staying in a friends home instead of an ikea furnished shell. The porch was our little sanctuary with breathtaking views.

Everyone’s favorite room is the screened porch and it's the perfect spot to watch stunning views of the sunset over Mobile Bay. It runs the entire length of the house and is furnished with a large dining table that seats six, an oversized cushioned porch swing, and a pair of vintage lounge chairs. It overlooks not just Mobile Bay but also a boat basin full of turtles, frogs, fish, and the occasional alligator. We keep several pairs of binoculars on the porch so you can get a closer look.
Two pairs of french doors open onto the porch from the great room. It has vaulted ceilings, a nice fireplace that is just for decoration and a spiral staircase that leads to the loft. The loft is a perfect retreat for the young and nimble. It is furnished with two twin xl beds and a window seat with a view of the bay.
There is a little office off of the great room that has a small desk perched in front of a window giving great views of the bay. It’s a great place to work on your next novel, or even your first!
The kitchen has a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and gas stove with an oven and its full of pots, pans, dishes and utensils. The laundry room has a stacked washer/dryer.
One of the bathrooms needed updating, so of course we removed everything down to the studs. Now this bathroom has a brand new tiled shower, new toilet and new vanity with a wall mounted faucet. The second bathroom has a tub/shower that has been updated with a hand shower, more contemporary plumbing and a new toilet. It already had a nice white tile surround and cast iron tub. Both bathrooms are ensuite. Each of the two bedrooms has a California king size bed. The rear bedroom has a set of french doors that open onto the screened porch. The bedding is linen from West Elm.
We've installed an EV charger - It is a 24 amp 5.7kw charger and the J1772 Wall Connector is compatible with most North American electric vehicles. Tesla vehicles will require an additional SAE J1772 Charging Adapter to charge, which is included with Tesla vehicles upon delivery.
We decided purchase the home where we want to retire and for now, we’re sharing it with you! It’s just three doors down from our current house. Yes - we love the neighborhood so much that we bought another house just down the street. The home, designed by local architect Douglas Kearley, was built as a replacement for his family's original summer house that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. He sited the home perfectly to capture gorgeous sunset views from the back porch and all of the shared spaces in the home!

We've got room for two cars in the driveway - Please don't park on the grass! You can explore the neighborhood on foot, but the real star of the show is Mobile Bay - We recommend taking a walk on the beach at least as far as Red Gully (to the south) to get a feel for the natural beauty of Mobile Bay!
We live down the street so we're always available! When we can, we like to greet guests in person and give a quick tour of the house.
Our home, located on Mobile Bay, has stunning views of the sunset from the screened porch which runs across the entire back of the house. We love our quiet neighborhood on Mobile Bay. Montrose, Alabama, a registered historic district, which is nestled between Fairhope and Daphne on Scenic Hwy 98. You'll see kids headed down to the beach on bicycles with buckets and fishing poles and neighbors casting shrimp nets hoping for a jubilee. You can walk along the bay front beach to the north or south as far as your feet will take you. The sunset here is fantastic over the water. From the expansive 12x40' screened porch we have an extraordinary view.
There's room for two cars in the driveway.
Remember that you're staying in our home, not a hotel. Please treat the space with respect. If you need anything, reach out - we’re just down the street!

Everything was really nice. From the start the hosts were extremely helpful and made themselves available if we needed anything and they were local. They also provided most things, like towels, coffee, washing pods, etc. They also didn’t require us to do much at the end which is always nice not to have to stress about. Everything was top quality. The deck and that view was stunning. The frogs at night in summertime is crazy. Can’t say one negative.

We were in Daphne for a youth baseball World Series. We picked this home due to the close proximity to the bay and the Daphne sports complex. This location was great along with outstanding accommodations. We will definitely stay here again and would recommend this property to anyone that visits Daphne. We were close enough to Fairhope that we were able to enjoy some fun there too. The owners are very easy to work with and had everything ready for us when we arrived. Overall, great property and great location.

The interior is completely updated and the house is immaculately clean. Our hosts were responsive, and over the top nice. He came by to give us a in-service on the operation of everything. They even had coffee, filters and half -n-half in the fridge. The house is so charming and the kitchen well stocked. Even the knives are sharp. The best part of the house is the screened in porch. There are binoculars for you to watch the numerous birds around - even a bald eagle. At night the frogs perform a beautiful natural symphony. It’s a super relaxing spot to unwind.

My husband, son, daughter in law, and I stayed at this lovely property for four nights. What a great house in a great location! We arrived after dark. It's always a little disorienting in the dark when you've never been somewhere, BUT this house has motion lights (outside and inside) to welcome you. The house is in a great location on Mobile Bay just off Scenic Hwy 98 in between Daphne and Fairhope in Montrose. It is quiet, relaxing, and gorgeous. I think this property is even better in person than in the photos - large, open living room, galley kitchen open to living room, laundry room (washer/dryer stack), 2 bedrooms w/king size beds each with en suite, loft with 2 twin beds - all immaculately clean, comfortable, up to date, well appointed, but not over done. The star of this property, however, is the screened in porch. We enjoyed coffee there every morning in the oversized swing and Adirondack chairs. (Also great coffee provided! What?!) You could literally spend all day on the porch- so relaxing! I noticed an accordion gate at the top of the back (porch side) stairs in case little ones need to be confined.
The house has ALL the amenities to make your stay easy. Beds are great. WiFI works well. The hosts are so friendly and available for help/questions. They truly seem interested in making your stay unforgettable in the best possible way, and they succeeded with us! We can hardly wait to plan our next getaway to the porch!

The home was clean, decorated beautifully, and included everything we needed! The short drive to downtown Fairhope was great! We’d love to come back!

Absolutely fabulous stay in this extremely charming bayview cottage located in the extremely charming town of Daphne on Mobile Bay. So many cozy, thoughtful details from comfy beds to beautiful furnishings to the cozy porch swing on the wonderful screened in porch. Beautiful location situated on the bay with spectacular sunset views; the leafy neighborhood is perfect for lovely walks; a quiet location convenient to every desire. Host is fantastic. We loved every minute of our stay.

Our stay in Daphne in this beautiful cottage was perfect!! We traveled to Fairhope and enjoyed shopping and eating in the adorable town. Our favorite places to eat were Ravenite, Sunset Point and Provisions We went to Loxley for a wedding also. Beautiful drives and not too far at all. We also drove to Orange Beach for some beach time and we loved eating at CoastAL there.
Most importantly the cottage was perfect, comfortable and had everything we needed. The sunsets are no joke from their beautiful screened in porch. I wish I was there now. I could sit out there forever...heaven on earth. The beds and pillows were comfortable Dave (the owner and super host) helped us when we had a flat tire. He let us borrow his air pump and told us some local places to get it fixed. Extremely nice stay. We cannot wait to go back soon. Thank you sharing your beautiful home! If you get a chance to visit this area, stay here. You won't regret it!!

My husband and 2 of my daughters and I loved staying in here. This is a quiet comfortable home with a great view of Mobile Bay. I loved the screened porch, especially in the mornings. The hosts very so helpful but never intrusive. They had stocked the hime with above average supplies and made check in and out the easiest of any VRBO rental I’ve had.

The home is great, the location is ideal with very good restaurants nearby!
Walking in the small beach in front if the hous was so enjoyable in the evening during sunset!
The owner was very kind, he gave us an orientation tour and did everything to make our stay the most enjoyable.
We felt like at home!

Thank you so much to our hosts for a perfect stay! My mom and I had a lot of fun exploring Fairhope, but at the end of each day the real treat was returning to this cottage - that screened-in porch and swing cannot be beat! Everything we could have needed or wanted had already been thought of by the hosts; the cottage was spotless and comforting. Thank you again :)

We loved staying in this lovely home on mobile bay. The screened porch is even more heavenly than it looks and is where we spent alot of time. Gorgeous sunsets and a fun place to enjoy a bit of an afternoon thunderstorm. Dave gave us great restaurant suggestions and there was lots to do in the area when we were ready to venture out .
The house was immaculate and stocked with everything we could need.
We will defintely stay here again when we are back this way

This is a gem of a place. It is cozy and fully stocked. It is centrally located. You can tell the hosts have put their heart and soul into the property. Everything is posh and top notch and feels very cozy. Once you get inside, you feel right at home. The host even came by to meet us the day we arrived. He was kind enough to show us around the house to make sure we didn't miss anything. We are looking forward to a future stay. I took a quick look at the booking calendar, and this property books quickly. That is definitely no surprise...once you stay here, you will definitely want to come back.
5.0
The home was great and location was perfect! You won’t find a cleaner or better appointed VRBO - and the attention and care from the owners was outstanding. The screened in porch makes this place a must visit - I didn’t watch TV for any of the 3 nights I was there - it was great sitting on the porch and hearing the waves from the bay and the sound of the frogs…. Beds were comfy and all amenities were great. Great restaurants are also nearby. We will definitely be back!!

We stayed at this home during Mardi Gras weekend and found it to be the perfect spot to enjoy the bay. The home is spacious, clean, comfortable, and has an amazing porch with a beautiful view.
We would absolutely stay here again.
5.0
The house is immaculate but also comfortable; the layout, furniture and amazing porch create a roomy and airy atmosphere. The details like cozy towels, down pillows and a fully stocked kitchen make it homey and comfortable. It’s elegant but not too fancy, very comfortable for a family. The beach access is fantastic, a walk on the shore is right out the door.
The hosts are so attentive and friendly, we had everything we needed including local advice.
We had a wonderful vacation and will be back to enjoy the sunsets again.

This Bay Front home in the exclusive village of Montrose has luxury down to a science!! Every comfort has been included & carefully placed at your fingertips. Tastefully decorated with plush bedding, quality furniture & exceptional design. Great coffee served in top of the line appliances. Host was on hand if needed & even supplied farm fresh eggs. Star Gazing or exploring the vast eco-rich area this home has it all.

This was a wonderful home with a wonderful host! We are hoping we can stay again soon. I'm pretty picky about cleanliness and this place was amazing with incredible views. And Dave the property owner is just the nicest, most helpful host! Can't recommend enough

This house was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The owner, Dave, went out of his way to make our stay perfect. The sunsets were beautiful, making the swing on the back porch our favorite place to be! We meet friends in different locations every year, and this was a comfortable place to renew our friendship. Thanks Dave.

Our stay was wonderful. We were close to family and activities in Fairhope, Mobile, Foley and Weeks Bay. The kitchen had everything we needed for our long weekend stay and Dave even stocked us with farm fresh eggs, which were perfect before a morning of fishing. The beds were comfortable and the back porch was even better than the pictures. Our stay was even better than expected!

I would highly recommend this property! Family of four went to this property for a long weekend & went to explore Magnolia Springs, Fairhope, Daphne, Mobile & Biloxi! This property was in the perfect location to catch breathtaking sunsets, host was flawless in communication, & the property was impeccable condition ! The host went above & beyond to make sure we had everything we needed & even provided cooking essentials, farm fresh eggs, coffee, & creamer! We hope to venture back to this property again! Thank you for allowing us a stress-free weekend to make lasting memories!

My mother, sister & I went for a girls trip and we absolutely loved this property and our hosts were great!! The screened in porch with bed swing and view of the bay just made it all the more perfect!! They have great taste in decor and I loved the linen sheets! The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and that’s a big plus! Would definitely stay here again!!

This charming cottage checked every box for the quiet getaway I needed. The porch is what sold me, but once I arrived, there was not a single detail less than amazing. The communication with the owners was always prompt. They offered helpful tips which made my stay feel effortless. The location is perfect if you want to explore the local towns, head to the beach for the day, or even just hunker down for a quiet escape. The furnishings are immaculately clean and stylish, yet so cozy and inviting. If you can live off the complimentary coffee, creamer, and farm-fresh eggs, you might never want to leave! I will definitely be back!
