Close to everything yet feels completely secluded. Very tranquil setting with everything you can possibly need from the well stocked kitchen to the bathroom just bring your toothbrush! Gated, Covered parking, charging station for your EV. The property has 2 units but we never heard or saw the other occupants. Great communication with the oweners.. they really thought about every little detail! We will definitely be back.

The home was just as expected, super cute and had everything we needed! The host was 10/10 and gave us great recommendations on places to eat, drink and visit! We will definitely return!

We were in town for a wedding weekend. This was the perfect place for us. It was very nicely decorated and well furnished. The seating outside the cottage was private and comfortable as well as peaceful and quaint. We would really like to plan another trip to visit and stay here again when we can enjoy more of what Fairhope has to offer. It’s a very friendly town with plenty of shops, restaurants, and close enough that a day trip to the beach could be included. But even the bay pier and parks are good for resting and relaxing with a view. We will definitely book with this property again. Thank you for a nice stay and being such good hosts by providing good information and checking on us frequently.
