About this house rental

Built for groups who want to be genuinely together without sacrificing privacy.

A completely reimagined waterfront home where the beauty of the Gulf Coast lives inside as much as out — copper and turquoise floors that echo the water, cedar posts that echo the woodland, design-forward finishes throughout.

Two fully independent residences under one roof — each with its own kitchen, living room, bathrooms, laundry, and private outdoor space. Together they offer 3,400+ square feet with 5 full bathrooms, multiple screened porches, a 600 square foot screened lanai, wraparound decks, and canal access to the Weeks Bay Estuary.

This is a private retreat for the group staying here — intimate, secluded, and completely self-contained. Guests come for Fairhope weddings, conventions, regional sports competitions, concerts on the bay, art festivals, Gulf Shores beach weekends, and family reunions. They leave having experienced something that settles into memory and stays there.

Upstairs — Warm Minimalist Haven

The property was all we could have hoped for. Style was spot on as were the rooms and accommodations. The downstairs stained concrete living was ideal for a gathering of friends and then to flow out on the covered porch was the perfect pairing. Dual kitchens were over the top. Communication and check in was lovely through our hospitable host. We all truly loved the space.

We had such a great stay! Sheri is a great host and easy to chat with. The house was the perfect size for our big group and had plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable. Everything was extremely clean when we arrived, and all of the instructions and communication were very clear and easy to follow. One of our favorite parts was the screened-in porch, especially since it rained during our stay, it gave us the perfect place to relax and still enjoy being outside. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone traveling with a group!
