Wonderful home, perfect Fairhope location

We enjoyed our weekend in Fairhope at this cottage. It is a short distance from downtown Fairhope, clean, and comfortable. The front room is perfect for relaxing family time. We hope to stay there again.

Sweet stay in Fairhope

Our stay couldn't have been better. Check in was easy, and the location so convenient. Plenty of room for our family of three, and our host was friendly and easy to communicate with. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

Fairhope vacation house

Great vacation house in a perfect location. Having a park literally one house away was amazing for our family (my boys played there every day). Quick walk to downtown Fairhope (which was very lively) and easy stroll to the waterfront. Would definitely recommend!

Charming and great location !

Visiting Fairhope with family - my dad grew up just 2 houses away from this cottage. This little place captures the essence of Fairhope perfectly. Porch swing for morning coffee and evening appetizers. Eclectic decor

Very pretty, lovely location

The cottage is decorated nicely, has plenty of space and a well-equipped kitchen (although we didn't use it much).The king bed was much appreciated and the location is lovely, within walking distance of both the Bay shore and downtown Fairhope. The mix of vintage charm and modern conveniences made our stay very enjoyable.

A Repeat Must

Perfect house and location! Can’t wait to stay there again! The house is gorgeous- perfect size and great attention to charm. The porch is the perfect place to hang out and the location is in one direction right by the bluffs and downtown, the other way leads directly to the main pier.

Great pink cottage

Nice, clean, beds slept well. The only problem was locking up. Oh and one more roll of toilet paper would have been nice. We were just two ladies celebrating our 70th birthdays together. Loved the town and the seafood restaurants!

Lovely summer in Fairhope!

We stayed for 41 days on this lovely property. We loved our stay and the design/ cleanliness and ease of communication with our host. We stayed comfortably with 3 people (mom, dad, 8 year old) and could walk easily to downtown and the bay. Thank you!!
