A Quiet Place in a Busy Space
This property was perfect for our large group! Terri is a great hostess, who is responsive to any needs. The house is very conveniently located to things in the Daphne, Fairhope, and Mobile areas. Even though it is near these busy areas, it was a quiet retreat.

Home away from home
We were in town for our son's wedding and were so happy to be able to have all of our family under one roof. The house was spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful location
The wooded location was peaceful and we enjoyed the large deck overlooking trees. The house is quite spacious and decorated to make you feel right at home. The pool table upstairs was a bonus! Parking in the garage made it so easy to load and unload the car. Owners live near property and were amazingly kind to work with and speedy to communicate! Highly recommend, Would love to stay again!

Lovely house, lovely host
We booked this rental for a large group as we were all attending a family wedding in Daphne. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive both before and throughout the stay. The house is beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped. We especially enjoyed the game room upstairs.

Family stay for daughters wedding
While In Daphne this house was about a 12-16 min drive to all our wedding venues in the nearby town of Loxley Al. It also suited our crew of 10 with 5 bedrooms. Only the one king but for our purposes it worked. Next to a city road but the rear facing a wooded area and the house next door 200-300 ft away we felt we had enough privacy and the road noise wasn’t a thing for us. There is a garage but not accessible to renters which makes the load and unload a little more cumbersome. House is nice enough with hardwood and granite. A nice front porch and large rear deck with a grill …looked to be very nice but our schedule didn’t allow for much in that regard. If we were to need a house for events in Daphne or the 59 Hwy area …(one of the main roads that leads to Alabama beaches) we’d use this house again. It isn’t tangential to beaches ….but the east Bay Area, Daphne, Fairhope, Loxley, Robertsdale areas would all be doable for groups of 8-10 you can work it out. I’d recommend this property.

Wonderful hosts
Teri was a wonderful host. She was always available, and as she is just a short walk through the woods was always close at hand. Our party of 10 hand plenty of room and we never felt cramped in this property. As a bonus the dog, Nola, was a big hit with our small grandchildren, whenever she came over to say hi
