Wonderful place to visit for a couple with dogs or kiddos. Screened in porch and a shady yard is wonderful during the summer here! Sunset views on the dock are unbeatable and we enjoyed eating fresh blue crab that we caught with their trap! A home that is definitely worth planning to return!
We vacation down in this area every year. This was our first time staying in a home instead of a condo and we loved it. We traveled with our 1 year old and the house was perfect for us. Lots of room and very clean! We would for sure stay at this home again.
We had a great stay in the little yellow house. The setting was perfect, the house was well equipped so we didnât have to constantly run into town. We would love to stay there again if we come down another time. Loved all the little touches.
This home was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was nice having access to the laundry room! We enjoyed the pier access and fenced area for the dogs. The host was readily available to provide directions when we turned down the wrong street :) Would definitely recommend.
We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed the house. It was the perfect location, away from the noise but close enough to everything. My only complaint would be more paper towels and toilet paper ( we had to buy more to last the week) and to provide shampoo, conditioner and body soap. Otherwise, we really enjoyed everything and hope to come back again!
We loved our stay at this cottage! It was comfortable with a laid back beachy vibe, and had everything we needed for an extended stay. We enjoyed morning coffee in the screen porch and it was so convenient to be able to let the dog out into the fenced yard as needed. The nearby beaches were perfect for daily walks and access to the pier onto Mobile Bay was a bonus. If you're looking for a quiet place for a little R&R, this is it. Hope to be back next year!
A perfect mix of rest and relaxation With access to the dock and short drive to the beach
We totally loved âBay LeaveââŠ. The house was perfect for my husband and I and our two dogs. Couldâve easily had a couple more people. The kitchen was well appointed and we enjoyed grilling grouper & burgers, baking crab cakes and much more. We loved having coffee in morning on the dock and watching the sunset every evening. Access to the beach was easy off of Veterans. Loved the peaceful setting and comfortable home. Thanks for sharing.
This hidden gem was perfectly located for us - Gulf Shores, Foley, and The Wharf/Orange Beach. Marthaâs communication and instructions got us there safely.
It was great to sit on the pier, then be in the woods along the driveway, and a long nature walk along Pine Beach Trail to secluded beaches. As people who like to âleave no traceâ, it was not a problem hauling our trash to the road.
What a great experience!
Our family overall enjoyed the stay at Bay Leave. No real issues with the home, communication was good. The home / deck will need some updates in the next couple years - it was warm in the home (AC can only be set to 72), the main bed isn't very comfortable and the fridge doesn't cool super well. The stairs to access are rickety. You cannot follow the GPS directions, they will take you to the back of the house - the full time residents all around are not super friendly. Location was great for accessing the beach and for a short trip.
Great Spring Break Getaway for Our Pet-Loving Family
We really enjoyed our stay and wish we could have managed a longer stay. There was plenty to do even though it was too cold for the beach. The evening sunsets were spectacular and viewed easily from the dock. The neighbors were quiet and the stay was peaceful. The house was very clean and there were even some towels left for use with our dog if needed. Everything was as described. We were alerted to an issue needing attention from a repairman and this was conducted easily without any interruption to our visit. We appreciate the care and professionalism used in the rental process. We would stay again during a future visit!
Wish there was a TV in master bedroom. Also the dock is in bad shape and we werenât able to fish.
We were pleased except for no TV in master. The dock needs works so we werenât able to fish. They also need to put chicken wire around bottom of fence so small dogs canât get out. The location is very nice and Marttha was very nice and helpful.
We stayed over the Memorial Day weekend. The small group of homes where the house is was quiet even though families were gathering for the holidays.
Watching the sun set each day from the pier was beautiful. I think they are continuing to repair it and at this point there are no handrails along it.
The house was very clean (not always the case with short term rentals) and the bed as comfortable. The deck around the house was a nice place to catch some sun/sit in the shade and read while enjoying the peacefulness of the area.
Even though a holiday weekend, the Ft Morgan beaches wet not crowdedâŠat least compared to the Gulf Shores beaches.
We have enjoyed the area several times and anticipate coming back.
A relaxing place that was clean and comfortable! The bed was super comfortable too! The view and pier was really nice! The fenced in yard was big enough for our dog. The location was quiet.
We took our 22â bay boat and we were able to park it and move it around but it was a very tight fit. The tree limbs that hung down over the long driveway clipped the top of our t-top so I wouldnât recommend taking a boat with a t-top or over 22â. We managed and did not get into anyone elseâs property but it was very hard to do.
Martha is always an excellent host! Thank you Martha!
We had another great time at the little yellow house. We stayed here in 2019 as well. The house was clean, had a well equipped kitchen, a very comfortable bed, and a perfect little fenced in yard for our small dogs. My only complaint is that the internet was very slow. It did specify that in the description so it was disclosed. My husband had to work and be on several Zoom calls during our stay. He had to hot spot his phone, which solved the problem. The coffee maker does not turn off automatically which I fortunately figured out the first day. I think you should add a little card on the coffee tray noting that, just to be safe. Overall we had another great stay. Thank you so much for renting to us and thanks Martha for the excellent communication. We will be back! :)
Close enough to Fort Morgan beach to make it a short drive, and same for visiting gulf shores, but secluded enough for it to be quiet and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
This property worked out great for us. It is a bit of a drive to the beaches or store but that suited us. Quiet area, the drive is kind of hidden so expect to pass it the first time. Overall, great vacation house.

New owners bought this cottage with an eye to stay here while they renovate a nearby older cottage. Until then they want to share it with others who want to get away for some quiet time near the water.
There is not a more beautiful spot on the bay - the view, the old oaks with Spanish moss hanging from their limbs, the gentle lap of the water, the spacious yard, the quiet setting and peaceful surroundings simply evoke a sense of peace. The large yard and distance from the busy highway also made this home a perfect spot for families with children and dogs (limit 1 please!).
This property offers guests a different view of Gulf Shores. Quiet and secluded under old oaks this home is far away from the vacation rental crowd. Guests experience what it is like to live along the bay on the island's Ft Morgan peninsula. Surrounding homes are full time residents who love the quiet enjoyment of the location. Perfect for smaller non-party groups looking for a peaceful spot. Sunsets are unparalleled at the water's edge For those who want to play in the Gulf waters the beach at the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge is almost across the street. A two minute drive will take you to its pristine shore where you can swim, fish, walk, shell and bask in the rays. Located about nine miles from town it is a quick trip to the center of the action, shops, restaurants, and attractions if you can tear yourself away from the front porch.
