Property is definitely a 10 out of 10. Very well kept, great location, exceptional view and fishing pier.
Our trip was perfect in every way! Tina was outstanding to work with and so responsive to any questions. REEL LIVING is a gorgeous home on Mobile Bay and was just what we needed for a relaxing and fun vacation. Highly recommend this property for your dream vacation!
The house was wonderful. Very clean and well appointed. The Bayfront location was great. Relaxing on the pier and the back porch was wonderful. We had a really good time. Loved all the Fairhope restaurants and shopping.
Had a wonderful week with family on Mobile Bay. The house was like a gold star hotel. Everything was clean and spacious. Soap, shampoo and conditioner in showers as well as hand soap was nice.

Great house. Great host
We spent 6 weeks at this house. Host was very attentive to our booking issues and our needs during our stay. Concierge was most attentive as well. The location and condition of house and pier is superb.

Perfect house on Mobile Bay
Reel Living was the perfect spot and house for our weekend in Fairhope. Booking and communication with Stephanie was very easy. The house was well stocked with basic laundry and kitchen supplies. Beautiful sunsets from the porch. Highly recommend this house.
We had such a great stay at this Mobile Bay house! The views of the bay are absolutely beautiful, and we spent so much time just relaxing on the deck and watching the sunsets. The boat lift was a huge bonus and made it super easy to get out on the water whenever we wanted.The house itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Plenty of space to spread out, a well-stocked kitchen, and all the little touches that made it feel like home. We loved how easy it was to enjoy both quiet mornings with coffee by the water and fun afternoons out boating.Overall, this place was the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and amazing views. We’d definitely stay here again!
We had an amazing time at the vacation house! It was the perfect size for our family get away. Even though the weather was not in our favor the entire time we still enjoyed the amazing bed swing, fishing off the covered dock, crab trapping, and the kids running around in the rain. The fenced in yard was great to have for our toddlers to run around and still feel safe. It was the perfect location to be on the water and close to town to enjoy nearby activities, stroll through Fairhope and go out to eat at the local restaurants. We even talked about the possibility of renting this location again in the future.

This is our second visit to Fairhope and again we chose to stay with Water & Wood. The property was perfect. The location, set up and atmosphere was amazing! Our hostess checked in frequently to make sure that everything was in order. It was the perfect place for our family weekend getaway. We will definitely be back!

Peaceful Bayside Comfort
Five of us enjoyed this peaceful and charming home that is directly on the bay. We loved coffee at the end of the pier, reading a book on the porch daybed swing, and the twinkling patio lights that extend to the end of the pier. The beds were luxurious with ceiling fans to keep you cool.
Be home is away from the hustle and bustle, but a quick 15 minute drive to the amazing town of Fairhope. Host was lovely and very quick to respond. Would stay again!
We were a group of three and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. It was well appointed and the management company was very responsive and had solid communication pre-arrival and during our stay. Would not hesitate to return if I'm in Fairhope again.
