Townhomes Near the Bay - 6
Guest rating: 4.0 / 5
Overview
Southern Oaks Townhomes (Townhomes Near the Bay - 6) is a fully renovated vacation rental townhome located in Grand Bay, Alabama, a small farming community centrally positioned along the Gulf Coast. The 8-unit building was completely stripped down and redesigned in 2018 with modern finishes, giving guests a fresh, updated place to stay. This particular unit sits to the right of the building and offers private outdoor space along with easy road access via Interstate 10.
Rooms & Layout
The townhome features two bright, airy bedrooms and one full bathroom upstairs, plus a convenient half bathroom off the kitchen downstairs. Interiors were fully refinished with new stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, giving the space a modern, comfortable feel for a small group or family.
Kitchen & Dining
A fully stocked kitchen with oven, stove, microwave, and full-size appliances lets guests prepare their own meals rather than relying on nearby restaurants. An outdoor grill on the private patio adds an option for cooking and dining al fresco, and downtown Mobile's Dauphin Street offers restaurants featuring Gulf Coast cuisine for guests who want to dine out.
Amenities & Outdoor Space
The unit includes air conditioning and heating, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a washer, an ironing board, and free parking directly in front of the townhome. A private patio with table and chairs opens onto a spacious backyard with plenty of green space, ideal for grilling, lounging, or walking a leashed dog. The property is pet-friendly and smoke-free.
Location & Surroundings
Grand Bay, known as the watermelon capital of Alabama, is about 30 minutes from the white sand beaches of Dauphin Island, 25 minutes north of Mobile, and 40 minutes west of Biloxi, Mississippi, with New Orleans reachable in roughly an hour and 45 minutes. Nearby Mobile offers attractions such as the USS Alabama battleship, the historic Fort Conde, and the annual Mardi Gras celebrations, while everyday conveniences like grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations are less than a two-minute drive away.
Best for
This townhome suits families, small groups, or road-trippers exploring the Gulf Coast who want a self-catering base with a full kitchen, private patio, and outdoor grill. Pet owners traveling with dogs will appreciate the pet-friendly policy and leash-walking green space, while its central Grand Bay location makes it a practical hub for day trips to Dauphin Island, Mobile, Biloxi, and even New Orleans.
Travel tips
There is no public transportation in Grand Bay, so having a car is essential; free parking is provided directly in front of the unit. The property sits just off I-10, making it a convenient stopover for driving between Mobile, Dauphin Island, and Biloxi, and grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations are all within a two-minute drive. Plan ahead for day trips, as Dauphin Island beaches are about 30 minutes away and New Orleans is roughly an hour and 45 minutes further west.
What guests say
Guest feedback highlights the townhome's cozy, welcoming feel and the sense that it is a comfortable, well-equipped place to stay. Reviewers specifically note that the unit has everything needed for a self-catering stay, requiring only that guests bring or buy their own food. The positive impressions were strong enough that at least one guest expressed interest in returning for a future stay, though the small sample of reviews (8 total) means broader trends are limited.
