Vacation rentals with a kayak in Gulf Shores

The house was wonderful and cozy. It was filled with personal touches that made the house feel like a home. CiCi was also helpful and responded quickly with whatever we needed. Overall, our family had a very good time staying here.

This was a great place to stay! It was perfect for our family and was just the right distance from the beach for us. Far enough from "crowded" areas, but close enough for a short quick drive. Would definitely pick this place again! We loved it and had a great time.

Charlotte was very responsive on such short notice! We found ourselves in a last minute lurch, and she quickly worked magic on her end to help us out (and on a holiday weekend)! Inside the home was pristine like pages out of Pottery Barn, so comfy and filled with all the amenities needed. Right on the water with a porch, Adirondack chairs and a dock, it was the definition of a peaceful relaxing escape. We will definitely check this out when we come back! Thanks Charlotte!

Great place, great location, easy walk to the beach but still felt pretty private. I did see someone mention an issue with the cable TV, that was still an issue (in main room you can get to the cable and guide, but clicking on a channel still says "you need a subscription", and then for some reason cable not working in bedrooms), but honestly we didn't spend much time on TV's b/c it's vaca at the beach! Beach was gorgeous, not too crowded. We had an awesome time, thanks Linda!

Perfect Fairhope Staycation! We are Fairhope locals, but wanted to stay on the bay for a fun getaway. This cottage is just as described: clean, comfortable, and right on the water. We enjoyed cooking outside on the grill, and having drinks with friends on the covered pier. The house was well-equipped with the bedding and linens being especially comfortable. The house’s location was very quiet, allowing for a few restful evenings. Perfect place for a couple or four adults to enjoy the best of Mobile Bay. Just be aware that you are 15-20 minutes from downtown— what we were looking for, but may not be for everyone!

House was amazing, we plan on coming back. Adam was a fantastic host he provided recommendations in the area and was very quick to respond when we had questions.

Our family trip with 6 adults and 4 kids (ages 5, 3, 2, 1) was a great success in large part to this great Airbnb! They were always extremely responsive and helpful above and beyond what was expected! Everything was as described and the guidebook was very detailed and helpful since we weren't familiar with the area. The location was perfect between multiple beaches as well as Pensacola and Orange Beach for restaurants and activities. Definitely recommend this as a great option for you and your family!

We loved being so close to the water and fishing from the dock. The screened in porch was very cozy and quiet. The neighbors were very friendly and we enjoyed talking to them. The kitchen had everything you need to cook a meal. The added beach chairs, floats, wagon and beach towels were a bonus. We cooked on the gas grill as well. Sweet little house.

What a great place to stay. This bay front cottage was very clean, spacious yet cozy and inviting. Great colors and tasteful decor really locked in the salt life vibe. We enjoyed breath taking sunsets over the bay. Time on the deck was peaceful and serene. The fire pit out back was a great touch. We would return and highly recommend this place for your stay in the Fairhope area.

The pictures are beautiful on the listing, but it’s actually better in real life. Just beautiful, the debt goes all the way around the house. You could always find shade and cool breezes everywhere. We didn’t have to leave the house for the sunrise and that was really beautiful. The canal was so fun to have right there. We weren’t sure how much we were gonna be using the canal but we used it a lot! The beds were great. And I love how they have nice toilet paper, it seems like a little thing, but we love good toilet paper. 🤣 We will be back.

We had a great trip.! Extremely accommodating for our family of four. We came for a fishing trip. They have kayaks we all enjoyed taking out to the bay. Caught several different types of fish, and even seen some dolphins one evening. Far enough away for a peaceful vacation, yet close enough to drive to the beach for the other fishing we did. Great stay.! Fantastic hosts.!

Great host, great place to stay, welcoming!

Absolutely loved this stay! The pictures do not do it justice, it was beautiful! The house smelled and looked great right when we stepped in. Meredith was such a great host! Super responsive before and throughout our stay! She went above and beyond for our stay this weekend! I would 100% book again! This stay was amazing and I was so sad to leave. Book here if you are thinking about it!!

Our arrival to Camellia Cove felt like stepping into a dream. We were welcomed with freshly baked cookies & a sweet note along with a lovely selection of drinks & snacks. This place is very special & hard to even put into words, you really just have to experience it. It's very clear to us that Teresa & John have poured so much love & devotion into this amazing property inside & out. The home's furnishings were not only beautiful but also incredibly comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could possibly need. Every corner of this peaceful retreat exuded comfort & care. We especially enjoyed the screen porch & hot tub during our stay. Fannie the golf cart was an added bonus. Our host's thoughtful touches & great communication made our stay unforgettable. The charming location struck the perfect balance between secluded paradise & nearby adventure. This property is truly a gem & we highly recommend it. This was more than just a place to stay—it was a home away from home.

My family and I had an absolute amazing time. I don’t think we could have found a better place! The cottage is FULLY equipped- not a thought was left out. The kitchen was stocked and had a few things commonly forgotten/don’t have when traveling. Plenty of blankets, pillows, comfortable beds, beach towels, etc. Also came with 2 kayaks and all the things needed for the beach (chairs, toys, etc). Plenty of very comfortable outdoor seating including a comfy hammock. This house had it all. Watching dolphins and other wildlife while sipping coffee on the deck was the best part of it. The neighbors were very quiet. Daniel and Juli were promptly available for anything we needed. A perfect stay! Will be back!!! Thank you!!

Very grateful of the time we had there. The flexibility to check in and the quality of the stay leaves us wanting to come back! Thank you!

Wonderful pet friendly place to stay. Quiet and peaceful but close proximity to shopping, restaurants, etc.

hosts was wonderful. hosts kept us informed through the whole process. Cabin was beautiful, good mixture of vintage and modern furnitures,well maintained. Our host was friendly and welcoming.. The area was peaceful and quiet.

We really enjoyed our stay! The place was great. So peaceful! Joseph did well at communicating as well! We hope to go back again!

Stayed here while evacuating from Hurricane Milton. Check-In process was super straight forward, the hosts were very understanding of our situation and allowed us to check in early after we drove 8 hours from the Tampa area! The cabin was charming and relaxing. Good internet and environment to get some work done. Plenty of activities to do on-site. Great views of the water! We were even able to use the kayaks at the stay. The fishing was great too, we were able to catch over 45 fish in the 3 days we were there. While there was plenty of stuff to do on-site, everything you need is within 5-10. The beach and great restaurants are super close. Definitely will be coming back under different circumstances!

Such a cute little cabin we had a nice weekend. Everything was just as described would go back.

Shawn’s place is a great place to spend time. My wife says she feels right at home staying there. We have actually stayed there several times . I would highly recommend this place for a peaceful vacation. Shawn is a great host.
