Amazing
Perfect location for fishing. The boat landing is across the creek and we were able to use it at high tide. The house is on several acre wooded lot. Very quiet and secluded. We enjoyed our wedding anniversary here.

Amazing stay in Bayou La Batre
The property is beautiful and everything is so well thought out. The water access is perfect and fire pit/grill is nice and practical. Also everything is close by the store is a 5 minute drive and Dauphin island is only about 20 min drive we will definitely be back to stay here we loved our time here.

Awesome Place!
This place is very relaxing and excellent if you plan on fishing or boating. You can keep your boat in the water and have direct access to the Mississippi Sound and Gulf of Mexico. The house is beautifully decorated and has all you need. The hosts are very nice people as well! I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay
My mom wanted to go to Bellingrath Gardens for a joint family birthday trip, and we found this cute home that was able to accommodate all of us. Overall the experience was very good, house was clean, instructions were clear, and we loved how it felt like our own little oasis. It was so good we are considering going back again next year!

Bayou and Belingrath
This precious place was the perfect setting for our gathering of four forever friends. It had all the necessities and comforts of home. We loved the decor -with nautical, fishing, and wildlife theming. We enjoyed the bayou view (pelicans and herons included), the large raised deck and hammocks. The location was great for our visits Dauphin Island and Belingrath Gardens.

Beautifully decorated
Pros: Interior decorating is gorgeous. Layout of interior is great and place is well-stocked. There are many outdoor places to sit - covered deck, deck, fire pit, and hammocks. Cons: Small tv in LR, none in bedrooms. Uncomfortably firm beds (some ppl may like that), very small master shower, low water pressure. Seafood suggestion: Bayou Seafood Company - fried shrimp is best I have ever eaten.

The peacefully side
The property was beautiful. The house was decorated perfect and was supplied with anything you would want. Plenty of space inside and out for that family get together. If you want peace and quiet with birds singing during the day and a Whippoorwill at night, this is the place. All mom and pop restaurants with the best seafood and you have to love that small town feel. Even if you like the hustle and bustle of the city, stay here and drive. It will be good for your soul.

1st time staying at the bayou.
The home is at a nice and quiet area. Love the deck and the view. However when we arrived we noticed there is 1 tv in the living room none in the bedrooms. Which the kids didnt like on the rainy days having diffrent age groups was a bit hard to keep happy. There were dishes put away that where dirty so we had to wash everything as we used it. There was no where to put kitchen items that we needed everything had to sit on the counters. The bedrooms were nice however the beds are extremely hard which for me made it very hard to sleep comfortably with my back issues. They had a pack n play which was nice till we opened it and it was nasty left dirty and put away. Also they dont provide you with a mop just a swifter which with babies and toddlers I like to keep the floors clean or clean up spills which made it challenging. Also it was kind of a drive to anywhere you wanted to go stores close early there. There is a great doughnut shop there in town which is nice. The boat lift is locked so its not avaliable to guest. The dryer made a horrible noise sent video to owner she offered to have someone come out but told her since it was drying the clothes still to wait till we checked out. So if your looking for an isolated area and a quiet place this is definitely it. If you looking to go to the beach eat out your definitely gonna be taking a drive to get there about 30 min. Give or take depending on what your looking for. There was plenty of parking space for us and everything is lit up nice at night.

Peaceful
This bungalow is very clean and well stocked with all you need for a fish fry, crab boil, and anything you need inside the kitchen. Everything!Mudbugs Fish Camp is the name of the joint, however, you need a boat to fish in this area. Hightide is in the mornings when you sleep in or out with your family at the beach, exploring nearby Dauphin Island. Evening and Night fishing from the dock is sparse. When the tide goes out, the water is so low and still it is impossible to enjoy casting a line. That being said, the boat slip is right across the water from the house and only one driveway down. The area is quiet for the most part. The neighbors kept to themselves. The gentlemen with the Shrimping Boat that is dock across the way was friendly. We enjoyed her our stay and had a great vacation.

Remote, Pictures are accurate
The pictures are very accurate, ground was very wet from all the rain, the firepit area was on a hill but had water all around it. The inside was beautiful, had lots of supplies that you would need, they had games there that you could play, the neighborhood was more backwoods than we were expecting. The grocery store that was near by was very well stocked, but do not go plan to go out to eat anywhere.

The location was the perfect distance from Mobile and Dauphin Island. There's a close gas station, food, and groceries. The property was beautiful with easy water access. And the space was great with plenty of nice accoutrements. Kitchen needs are definitely covered. Will definitely be staying again.

Quiet & Peaceful
The only downside of this beautiful property is all the wasps. I could barely set foot outside without being attacked. They did have some repellent downstairs, which helped. Overall, the property is amazing. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the kitchen!!! Everything you need is there. I don't like to plan big meals or special treats while on vacation, since you are never quite sure what items there will be or what the local stores have in their stock. However, the kids and I made some homemade pizza one afternoon, and I was able to whip up a batch of my chocolate chip cookies for the 4th. The layout is very practical. I was able to wash up clothes rather quickly without taking out too much from other things. My husband and kids spent most of their time on the dock fishing. Definitely a very memorable vacation!!! We would love to visit again soon.
