This was home away from home. Very relaxing and had everything we needed. Besides getting groceries we stayed in most of the time and swam in the pool. Very quiet home right on the bay. Canât wait to return!
The house was very inviting and was plenty big enough for our group of 8 women. We enjoyed the pool and beds were comfortable. Itâs great that there is an ice maker in the kitchen and it could keep up with our group. We had a wonderful dinner cooked by Southern Traditions Catering, and the house was a great base camp for beach activities. We took the ferry one day and highly recommend that! It was all a great experience.
This house was everything it said it would be! Spacious enough to comfortably sleep 8 people and room for everyone to spread out. The pool was lovely and a staple activity when we were at the house, and the view-especially the sunrises each morning-were simply breathtaking! Close enough to everything to be convenient with several local places to grab food when we didnât want to cook. Definitely recommend this home and will enjoy staying there again when we return to the area!
Great location. House was exactly as advertised with a great pool right on the bay. Plenty of towels etc and kitchen supplies, linens etc. everything very clean. Took a while to figure lighting the stove, you just have to be patient. The oven door was kinda wonky and hard to open and close. The bottom door on the oven broke or was already broken. We could not figure out why since we didnât use it. But in fairness I donât think the owner knew that. Process and communication was good but storm taking out the internet kinda delayed things a bit. Overall we had a great stay and were happy with our choice.
Overall, great layout for 2 families with small children. Large, open kitchen and was well stocked with everything you might need. We enjoyed having the covered outdoor area with the large swing directly off the main suite. The tub faucet in the jack and jill bathroom was coming off the wall when pulling up to turn on the overhead shower. There was a musty smell coming from possible drainage in the same bathroom. Our boys loved having access to the pool. Thank goodness for the pool because we were under the impression of having a pier (as shown in 1/3 of the pictures) but to our avail - it was the neighbor's pier. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS MISCONCEPTION! We booked 6 months in advance and after 3 adults read the description over the course of time (many times!), it wasn't until 2 days before that we noticed in the description that the pier doesn't belong to the property. Having a pier was the #1 reason for choosing this VRBO. Paula was less than empathetic to this. We attempted to fish off the "bulkhead" but reeled in a garden hose. Catching crabs was nonexistent and like so, she confirmed there was a proper beach for kids to play but this can't be reached w/o trespassing onto the neighbor's property.
This place was perfect for our stay. The house and grounds were amazing. We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the pool and the view of the bay. If youâre wanting to kick back and relax, itâs perfect. Part way through our stay we had trouble with the air conditioner and contacted the host. It was late in the evening before she saw our message, but she had someone there early the next morning to address the issue. Eventually it was resolved. Thanks, Paula. If we ever head back to southern Alabama, weâll definitely check to see if Middle Bay Hideaway is available.
A refreshing family spring break trip with all the comforts of home
This rental was literally the best vacation home Iâve rented. Beyond the fact that it was beautifully decorated, The host was so very nice and accommodating for anything we requested or any questions we had. The HUGE open concept kitchen was fully stocked with any cookware or serveware item you could think of, it was a perfect place to gather with our visiting family and friends. We had 2 kids under 4 years old and there was so much room for everyone that it felt so comfortable and spacious. Overall we were sad to leave at the end of the weekend, this home felt like such a welcome retreat. We want to stay again next year!
Close proximity to Dauphin Island beaches and attractions yet far enough away to be quiet and secluded. Freighters and fishing boats passed by day and night. Pelicans, Egrets, Cranes and Eagles visited often. This is the spot to watch the perfect sunrise. The pool is not heated, but the sun warmed it enough to use in March. Owners were very helpful and shared preferred eateries and activities that were spot on. Would definitely stay again!
Very clean place with all the amenities. Great little grocery store just four miles away. Be sure to get up early one morning to see the sunrise over the water.
My husband and I met for Christmas week with his two sisters (one flew in, extremely easy access from property to airport; the other drove from the Atlanta area). The home was just lovely, plenty of room inside, spacious bedrooms, livingroom and kitchen. were all
We had a wonderful stay at the Beautiful Bay House. The house was exactly as described and had everything that we needed. We loved the gas Firepit on the patio. The Sunrises and Moon rises were outstanding. It was too cold to swim in the Pool, but it would be wonderful to use in the warmer weather. I would recommend the Beautiful Bay House to anyone.
Amazing! First trip in a couple years due to deaths, surgeries and tornado recovery. I wanted to relax before total knee replacement next week. We were so happy here! Beautifully decorated, the kitchen is a cookâs dream. So nice to have the pool overlooking the bay. I spent a lot of time on an air mattress doing my preop exercises. Sent pictures to friends to instigate a girls getaway.. Good restaurants and grocery store nearby. Host obviously went over and above in seeing that everything you could possibly need to be comfortable was provided.
I am going to tell you just how I feel!đ This is a wonderful Vrbo listing. The layout of the house definitely met our needs. Kitchen was well stocked, beds very comfortable, and the pool and grounds were spectacular. To wake up and watch the sunrise coming over the water was a special bonus.Also for the added
Our stay was great. Kids spent the week fishing and catching crabs in the bay. Very relaxing and beautiful location. The property owner responded quickly to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend
This has been one of our favorite places to stay!!! The house is amazing! The decor is beautiful and the house is very clean and spacious! The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and pans we needed. We cooked a good bit of the time we were there and even used the outside grill. The outside was our favorite place to be with the swimming pool and the AMAZING view!!! Paula was wonderful to work with and stayed in contact with us throughout the week. She is the perfect hostess! You cannot go wrong with this house!!! We look forward to staying here again!!!
The property was in the perfect location. My husband was able to enjoy some time fishing on the property. The rest of us enjoyed being able to watch and swim in the pool. It was nice to be 15 min from a public beach! The beds were comfy, and the house was very clean. The only downfall was that the pools pump shut off and we didnât know, we were not sure of the pool schedule so we were not sure if/when someone was going to come check it. So the last two days we didnât get to enjoy the pool at we would have liked.
It was exactly what we looked for and it was very clean! My kids loved the pool and we spent alot of time in it! It was in a nice area and it was very quiet and relaxing! Us adults spent every evening out on the porch by the fire table! We even sat out when it was pouring down rain! It was awesome having that room off the master for out kids because in a new place they want to be near us especially at night and so they could come straight to us if they woke up. It was a great week and we enjoyed it so much! I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends! We are wanting to vome back again and we will definitely look to see if it will be available! Thank you so much!
I had a work event located in saraland and decided to make a family getaway out of the trip to the area. We found the house to be perfect for our needs. It comfortably splet our family of 5 plus my mother, so 6 of us altogether. The house is stocked really well and we had everything we needed for our stay. We even cooked a meal in the kitchen and thete was nothing lacking. The pool was awesome. Our kids enjoyed it so much. Perfect for play and for relaxing. The virw is spectacular. You can lay out by the pool and look over the bay. We had such a nice stay at Middle Bay.
