Sonny Callahan public use airport; just 5 minutes to salt and freshwater fishing, 8 minutes to Quail Creek golf course, 30 minutes to the sugar-white Gulf Shores beaches, 30 minutes to Mobile, Alabama and less than an hour to Pensacola, Florida.

Great house with great location
We had a great stay while visiting family! This house was located close enough to Fairhope and was a quiet retreat for downtime. The house had lots of room to spread out and relax.Thank you Tessi for making the accommodations wonderful! We would definitely recommend! Thanks again!
