We all thoroughly enjoyed playing ping pong and kayaking. Paul and my daughter used the boat house to get some work done and they loved having a spectacular view while getting work done. We made Thanksgiving dinner here and the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. We were all sad to leave, including our dog. But we will be back again soon. Also, Babette was an incredible host- she thought of everything to make sure we enjoyed our stay and was so quick to get back to me when I had questions. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madison C.

I have stayed in many rentals over the years, but Babbie’s Honey House takes the cake as the best Vrbo ever! From the amazing dock to comfy beds, giant hang out spots outside as well as in, to the great communication with the host, this stay was amazing! The photos do not do the house justice - it is very large with plenty of common spaces and spots for everyone to sit and enjoy. Next time we’re in Mobile, we will be staying here again.

The host is wonderful, probably the best we've ever had. She is communicative, helpful, and has so many thoughtful touches all throughout the house. If you love to fish, boat, kayak, play games like ping pong and fooseball, or just relax on the water on a lillypad off the dock and enjoy amazing sunsets, this place is for you. The beds were comfy, couch large and comfy enough for a family, and the space was clean and well appointed. There are so many places inside and outside for people to hang out, grill, watch TV on the swinging bed downstairs, feed the fish and ducks, etc. We'll be back! ##### Lindsey D.

Great Location on the Fish River, perfect for fishing, kayaking, swimming, biking or just relaxing. The property was immaculate, beautifully furnished, thoughtfully equipped, and generously stocked. The owners were terrific and are blessed with a hospitality gene. They did everything in their power to ensure we had everything we needed and had a great time. The boat lift turned out to be a godsend, as we had severe storms and minor flooding while we were there but we we were able to sleep soundly knowing the boat was safely tucked in the boat house well above the water.

The home is AMAZING, and the location on the river can’t be beat. The downstairs outside is a perfect place to hang out and love the boathouse with its own tv! Bibeette and John are the kindest and most thoughtful owners we have met in our travels. Communication is outstanding and it’s obvious their goal is to ensure those that stay have a perfect getaway. Recommend HIGHLY! ##### Seth P. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon F. Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfection! Our family of 9 needed a space for being out of State for our son's wedding. The Honey House was absolutely perfect! The amenities met needs of kids and adults. Comfortable rooms and beds, equipped for every need, the dock and being so close to the water brought a serene feeling. The outdoor space was amazing. From the ping pong table to kayaks, and the lily pad float for the little kids it was just wonderful. I've never had a host as wonderful as Babette with her personal touches and communication. It also was very easy to find stores and shopping and an easy ride to down town Fairhope. This place was truly perfection! ##### Sharon F. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate W.

Some friends and I gathered to celebrate our 50th birthdays and we could not have had better accommodations. The home itself is clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need—even a foosball table! The outdoor space is the cherry on top. We lounged in the covered area where there was ample seating to relax and chat. Then we put the lily pad in the water and watched the boats come and go from the launch next door. We were even able to bring our own boat and ride over to Big Daddy’s restaurant in less than 10 minutes. The communication with the host Babbie was FABULOUS. The best I’ve ever had with dozens of online bookings. I would 100% stay at this river paradise again in the future! ##### Kate W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy H.

Very clean, cozy, and stocked with all necessities. My husband and son fished most of the weekend. My favorite thing was watching the football games on the screened in deck area with the beautiful sun sets. My son loved the foosball and ping pong tables (and feeding the goldfish). Babbie was the best host ever. We came in late and she met us at the house with the lights on. You can not get any better than that. Will defiantly stay again. ##### Nancy H.

Our family and I decided on a quick staycation getaway as we have never stayed on Fish River before. Words cannot describe how wonderful the Honey house is! The attention to detail and the beauty and charm exceeded expectations. The photos don’t do it justice! It sits peacefully on a beautiful part of the river and we were able to enjoy coffee on the porch in the morning and a nice glass of wine while watching football games outside in the evening. The children loved jumping in the river, kayaking, and building such sweet memories. The owners of this property thought of everything from a foosball table to a downstairs access bathroom to smart TVs throughout the home. If you want to stay on the river in style this place is a must! ##### Tricia G. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angie S.

The hosts were so kind and attentive. We were there for a baseball tournament. My son had a birthday during the tournament, and not only did the hosts get him a gift, they asked if they could do anything for our team birthday get-together. This home is perfect, beautiful, and super clean with an awesome outdoor area. The boys (big and small!) loved swimming and fishing. We are already looking at future dates to book. I would recommend anyone to book this place quickly - you won't regret it! You won't find a better place on the water or hosts! I wish I could give this one 100 stars! (My son even left a shirt and the host is shipping it to me)! ##### Angie S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### C J.

This home is spotless and has all of the extra touches to make you feel right at home. The coffee bar is stocked, there's extra paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, aluminum foil, etc. Babbie has thought of everything! She is a perfect host who personally checked us in and showed us everything we needed to know. The home is about 10 miles from downtown Fairhope. We were able to uber to town with no issues whatsoever. If you are thinking twice about this home, don't! BOOK IT! You'll love it! ❤️ We will be back for sure. ##### C J.

Not only is the home and grounds absolutely gorgeous, the home was spotless. The neighborhood is so peaceful and perfect. We are a family that loves to be outdoors and the river, the patio, the boat house, and the deck afforded us the opportunity to relax outside and enjoy the peace and serenity of the setting. My boys fished and my girls not only enjoyed sunbathing but also running and biking. There was a lilypad for us to float on and kayaks to take out on the river. If you have a boat, bring it as the launch is just next door and a boat slip for you to use the entire trip. We caught both small and large mouth bass right off the deck and enjoyed a beautiful boat road down Fish River. The property is within minutes of The Grand Hotel where we spent one afternoon. Our family could not have had a better weekend and we have already booked a return stay. Thank you for making this weekend a wonderful experience. ##### Jennifer D.

We come down here every year to spend time with family & this year was the best because of this house! We have a lot of family that live in the area & they all came to visit /meet the new member of our family. The house itself is cozy & clean. We ate dinner, played games & watched movies every night & everybody was comfortable & relaxed because there's so much space! During the day we swam & used the big blue mat in the water & it was so fun! There is also a ton of stuff to do & restaurants nearby. Babbie & her husband were awesome hosts. The house has any & everything we could've possibly wanted or needed for our stay. Fully stocked kitchen. Towels, board games, cards, TVs everywhere, a first aid kit & more! Very thoughtful & caring. We will definitely be coming back next year (hopefully sooner!) We created some beautiful memories & special moments here... This house is just perfect! Directly on the water. Beautiful yard. Gorgeous home. Thank y'all for letting us stay! ##### Caitlin V.
