Wonderful Weekend
We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend at this beautiful home! We were in town for a wedding, and it was so nice to be able to spend time with family throughout the weekend. The house was so comfortable and stocked with everything we needed, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful!
This house was perfect for our family. Clean, and exactly as described. We loved the location and wish we had more time there. Will definitely go back!
This house was absolutely as advertised. It was very quiet and relaxing and a great place to spend time with family. The bedrooms were large enough to be comfortable and the deck overlooking the water was great.
The house was clean and beautiful. The riverside location was so relaxing. We were able to easily get to downtown Fairhope for shopping and dining, but also felt secluded. The entire experience was great!
The property was immaculate, from the appearance to the linens. The porch was very comfortable. Even caught and returned 2 fish. Great stay

We love Fairhope!
Rest and reel was exactly what we needed! So peaceful and such a wonderful getaway! There is a church off in the distance that you can hear the bells go off in the evenings it is so sweet!! ❤️
The stay was great. We really enjoyed the house and the amenities. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and family. Only negative was the neighbor next door has a dog that barked all the time when no one was there.
The house was the perfect location for our annual girl's trip. There was plenty of space inside and outside. We enjoyed being able to share the house, cooking, playing games and just talking.
Awesome week! The kids enjoyed the house! The adults appreciated all of the amenities. We enjoyed being on the water and watching the people drive by on the water. Thanks for the memories.

Perfection
We had the most wonderful weekend for my family while I attended a conference at the Grand Hotel. All the luxury and peace and quiet. Kids had a wonderful time fishing and swimming in the river. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. It was stocked with all sorts of bonus details in the bathrooms and kitchen. We will definitely stay again!

Mr.
This was the second time we stayed at Rest & Reel and it was excellent. we particularly enjoyed being on the porch after coming in from fishing and before going out to dinner.
Only problem we noticed was the door to the small BR upstairs will not close.

A merry Christmas
Spent Christmas at rest & reel & it was perfect! The house was decorated for Christmas too which was a festive surprise! The house is beautifully decorated all throughout. There were 2 families of 4 in our group who shared the space & it was perfect! The gem of this property is the deck that overlooks the Fish River! It’s huge & fantastic. The private dock at ground level is also nice and our kids enjoyed fishing off it every day! And Tina & her team are very responsive and handled any questions we had within minutes! If we come back to Fairhope this will be a must stay at again!
Our host was amazing - both welcoming and responsive. This property was the perfect setting for a relaxing weekend to enjoy Mardi Gras in Fairhope and family that lives nearby. The home is beautifully maintained and the setting on Fish River was both relaxing for adults and entertaining for our children. Would highly recommend without reservation.
The River house was perfect for our girls trip to the Fairhope area. It was large enough for each of the 5 of us to feel comfortable in the spacious bedrooms, The outside porch and deck added an extra area to relax, play cards and even fish.
Honestly worth booking just for the porch. We had a wonderful time. It was perfect for a vacation to visit with family. Everything was very clean and comfortable.
