Beachfront Screen Porch Swing for Amazing Sunsets on Mobile Bay • King Beds x2
About this house rental
Nestled in Daphne, this lovely house for $400 per night is a great choice for your next break. ★"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!"★ → Private 1650 raised cottage on Mobile Bay → Amazing views of the sunset over the bay → Two bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom and a California king size bed → Well stocked kitchen → 598 Mbps internet → Living room and kitchen with stunning bay views → Private access to Mobile Bay - 50 steps to the sandy beach → 4 miles to Downtown Fairhope → 20 minutes to Downtown Mobile → 40 minutes to The Hangout in Gulf Shores → 45 minutes to Orange Beach 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 :) #Moccamaster #Technivorm #Kohler #FireclayTile #HeatherTaylor #PublicGoods #Ruggable #Quince #Onsen #MarriottGrandHotel #Daphne #Fairhope. 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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
