We had a wonderful time staying at this showcase bungalow! The owner was go good to help us with recommendations and anything we needed. Loved relaxing on the screen porch!Would definitely stay again!
We could not have enjoyed this property any more. It is beautifully and interesting decorated, and the host has thought of all the nice things you can imagine wanting to find in a rental property. Perfectly located and maintained. We will definitely be back!
We enjoyed this property and would rent again. Our trip was in January 2024 and Fairhope had unusually cold temperatures but the house was cozy and warm.
Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay at Le Hibou Blanc (A) so much. The cottage is part of an adorable neighborhood, walkable to the beach (Eastern Shore Trail), and full of interesting decor. It is cozy, but with enough room for 2 adults and 3 teenagers. If we are ever back in the area, we will be booking again!
I loved everything about this rental, from the attention to detail in the decor to the location. It was easy to access all of our activities and the house felt like home during our down time.
A lovely, well-designed cottage with all the comforts of home. The home is ideally located, near the water and close to downtown... a perfect pied a terre for a weekend or longer!
This is the most beautifully decorated home ever!
It is so conveniently located to everything in Fairhope!
We had a wonderful time! The owners are wonderful in communication!
I would definitely stay here again and recommend this to everyone!
The house was renovated with great style. Very nice and clean! It had a neat and cozy screened in porch that was perfect for morning coffee. It was also a short walk to the bay! Perfect for our weekend girls trip. Will be back!
Wonderful and beautiful quaint cottage. We didn’t want to leave…many favorites include the attention to detail in the decor (now I want to re-deco my home) and the front screened porch area. We will be back!! One of my favorite secluded getaways! Thank you!!
This place was perfect. Four ladies on shopping excursion. Short drive or Uber to town. Cute Italian restaurant a half a block away. Live music.
Their patio was perfect to sit and have a few cocktails.
We will definitely be back!
What an amazing property!! The attention to detail was amazing!
The screened in porch was our absolute favorite spot! The bed swing was so relaxing!
Location is perfect, and can not praise enough about the comfy bedding! I plan to purchase the pillows, and mattress!! Felt Just like a high end hotel!
We will be back!
Thanks for all your quick communication Chris!!
We had the best time celebrating our moms birthday!!
The place was nice but smaller than we thought. Manager brought us flashlights and candles when requested when storm was in our area as none in the unit.Overall we liked the place. Only drawback for three girls is that the so called third bedroom with bunks was really a small room that included the washer dryer. We had to sleep together as no one wanted to stay in this very cramped space. We realized the description said bunks but this really is not a third bedroom. For 2 couples or 2 girls it would have been fine. The location was good. Porch was nice. TV system was very hard to operate and no instructions. It always took us 30 minutes to get the TV to change stations. Owner was good to go over this with us once but we still had major issues.
Comfortable, clean, well appointed, lot's of unexpected extras. Would definitely stay again!(hopefully constructive) Feedback :1) We did not use the mini-bar, but it's a nice touch.2) Kitchen table is unstable and top is unlevel.3) No place with good light for the ladies to put on their make-up.4) The rugs need to go or be anchored much better.5) Back BR on the right has funky and very poor lighting. And one lamp did not work.6)Provide some small plastic cups for each Ba. We moved a small GLASS cup into the Ba, with obvious breakage risk.7) Lot's of pretty glassware - but no coffee mugs...8) Coffee maker is perfect, with option for K-cup or carafe.9) Interesting modern decor. Not all to my taste, but clean and updated.10) Every time i reached for something it was there! - except a corkscrew . I purchased a cheap one and left it behind as a contribution to continuous improvement .11) Microwave placement gotta be changed. Just above the floor is tough on us older folks .We look forward to coming back in the future!
Wonderful place! The location, accommodations, decor, and even the book selection were perfect. Check in and check out were simple and owners were kind and helpful. Definite 10/10!
