★"The location is perfect for beach combing and sunset views."★

★"My husband and I have stayed at our fair share of places 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. We can’t wait to come back with friends and family in the future!"★

The space:
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! All of the sunset photos included in this listing were taken from either the screened in porch or the beach directly in front of our house. #nofilter

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 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 hand 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. If you haven’t tried linen sheets, you are missing out :)

Guest access
There's 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 down the beach at least as far as Red Gully (to the south) to get a feel for the natural beauty of Mobile Bay!
Other things to note
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!

Beautiful Raised Cottage on the Bay
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!

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.
