Write on the Bay

06/04/2024

Enjoy a week on the Bay! Write on the Bay now has July availability. This beautiful and quaint waterfront cottage is wonderfully situated for a peaceful retreat on the Mobile Bay. With picture perfect views from the screened porch or boat house, guests can enjoy their morning coffee or evening cocktail right on the water while watching the pelicans and herons hunt, dolphins splash and seagulls soar. There's even nearby beach entry for kayaks and paddle boards and a boathouse for stargazing or fishing off the dock.

The setback of the home is only 10 feet providing incredible opportunities to enjoy the beauties of the bay from anywhere in the home. It's simply magical!

This newly renovated waterfront home in on the Eastern Shore in Fairhope includes a boathouse and fishing dock as well access to a beach entry for kayaks.
