Beautiful eclectic decor, relaxing bay view and tranquil back yard made our trip to visit friends an great vacation. We ventured into Mobile for dinners and got to spend the a couple afternoons on the beaches of Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores. The front porch was the perfect place to have coffee and view sunrises over the bay. The back yard was a garden of seating to watch our beagles play. Thank you for offering such a beautiful home as a vacation rental.

Very roomy with plenty of places to sit. Clean. Kitchen large enough to cook for a large party. All sorts of pots and bowls available. A/C kept the property comfortable. Fenced back yard excellent for the dogs. We didn't find any paper towels for the kitchen - something that might be added to the welcome message.

We enjoyed staying in this eclectic home. The location was convenient to the attractions in Mobile, as well as to Dauphin Island. Piggly Wiggly, CVS, and restaurants were close by and the neighborhood was quiet. Sitting on the swing, on the front porch, gave beautiful views of the ships and tankers coming in the Bay. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware. We only had to buy our food. Our small dog loved the fenced-in backyard. We will definitely book this again, if we're fortunate to travel to Mobile again. A home away from home!

Ken’s cottage will always be our first choice when we visit the Mobile area. We were so thankful we could snag it again for a few days respite. Eclectic décor, plenty of room with the teens upstairs and us old folks on the first floor, and a shady, fenced backyard for our two small dogs. Views of the bay…just SO peaceful! Thank you, Ken, for a perfect getaway! We hope to return soon!

The decor was incredibly quirky but artistic. Did a great job of representing the home owners style and what makes Mobile so unique. Enjoyed the thoughtful amenities and attention to detail.

We had a lovely view looking at the bay. The house itself was charming. We walked in and there was music playing. The air conditioning was right where it needed to be. The house was very welcoming.Loved our time spent there. Can’t wait to go again.

We loved our stay here and communication with the property manager was very professional. Seriously, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you!

This house is a gem! We had everything we needed and had a great view of the Bay❤️ We definitely will be visiting and staying again. PERFECT! Owner is wonderful!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a low key vacation for our 2nd anniversary. I really enjoyed watching the sunrises out on the front porch swing and taking the dogs out for walks along Bayfront Rd. It was especially nice to watch the fireworks across the bay without having to leave the house! The only complaint I have is about the cleanliness - there was a lot of dust, dead bugs, etc on the floors and it didn’t appear that the kitchen had been wiped down between guests. Aside from that, I feel like Ken thought of everything! All things you would possibly need are provided at the house and it is a quaint home in a great location.

Beautiful Bayfront property with quiet peaceful feel! Completely enjoyed our 10 days!

The location is only 15 mins from downtown Mobile. Owner, Ken, is very responive & great to work with. He provides great linens, paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, dryer sheets. We utilized the two king beds downstairs and they truly provide a great night sleep. We were in town for a wedding at Ft Conde. Enjoyed a quaint little restaurant called Momma's on Dauphin in Mobile. We all enjoyed our food, reasonable price & portions. We had Gumbo, blackened chicken wrap, collard greens, grilled pimento cheese sandwich with bacon jam. Highly recommend Mudbugs. Tried both locations, preferred the one up North. They offer gumbo, husband loved it. Thurs lunch special is fried shrimp & comes with fries for $6!! We also got a shrimp po boy, it was huge and the shrimp were lightly battered & great seasoning. We would like to come back when our weather gets colder. Thanks again!

Love how it overlooks the water. Very peaceful and quiet area. Gorgeous look of the inside of the house. Everything inside of the house has a unique piece that tells a story.

We loved being at the cottage! The decor was rich with lots of surprises! A fun happy place. My adult children and granddaughter are all ready to book it again. That in itself is a miracle as they are all quite picky. Accommodations were good for our group with 3 king beds and a pair of twins. Very firm mattresses which we like. The front porch was the perfect place to visit at night and watch the lightening and moon on the bay. Can't wait to come back! Thanks Ken....you were a joy to work with. The Codys

This home was just like it was described and was a great place close to downtown and the eastern shore. We all want to stay again when back in the area!

The house is even better than the web site! The owner is extremely responsive to questions, but the house is set up so well that you really don't need much help! We had a fantastic week.

Perfect place to stay in Mobile and get a great sunrise

Loved sitting on the front porch and relaxing, watching the ships. Beautiful sunrises 🌅. The fenced in back yard was great for our dogs. Can't wait to come back.

Atmosphere was amazing.!

Well kept grounds, beautiful Mobile Bay view, quiet neighborhood, large bedrooms, many kitchen utensils, large refrigerator. Bathrooms well stocked with necessary items. Very impressed with quick response of owner. All in all, a very pleasant and relaxing stay.

It was beautiful and surprisingly private with the neighborhood, would definitely stay again.

Loved the house. Exceeded our expectations. Pictures of house very accurate. Short drive to historic district and the Gulf. Kitchen well equipped and bedrooms with king-size beds lovely for our party of five women. Front porch was wonderful for spectacular views of Mobile Bay.

We definitely recommend the Cottage on Mobile Bay! The home is tastefully decorated. We especially enjoyed the work of Grand Bay artist RM Robinson. The beds are super comfortable. The cottage was clean and provided enough space for our crew to have privacy and also enjoy being together. My favorite part of the stay was having coffee on the front porch while watching the sun rise over the bay. Beautiful! The shady fenced-in back yard was perfect for our two small dogs. My husband grew up here and recalled picking mulberries from the tree out back. We would love to stay here again! Thank you, Ken, for opening up this lovely cottage for our family!

Such a unique property! We loved it!

This was a very pleasant experience

Property was great. Front porch needed cleaning and few places inside of house needed some extra care. ( this is on the cleaning crew not the owner). Grass needed cutting in the front & back yard. Only place I've ever stayed that the bathroom was stocked with all soaps and enough tissue to last the weekend. Beds upstairs made to much racket when moving on the bed. Need to somehow turn the upstairs bath into a shower and bath when having so many people stay but we made it.
