Fairhope's 1910 Tin Ceiling Treasure · 2 Kings · Live Oak Acre
"Make sure to eat at least one breakfast out on the back porch looking at the huge live oaks." — Sarah ★★★★★
There's no place like this in Fairhope. Built in 1910 and loved by only a handful of families since — including a Venezuelan consul — this 4-bedroom estate sits on over an acre of century-old live oaks in historic Montrose.
Every surface has a story. Original embossed tin covers the walls and ceilings. Hand-carved fretwork frames every downstairs doorway. The floors are original maple and heart pine that's been aging since before your grandparents were born. Original wavy glass and stained glass windows still catch the light.
And then you step out back.
The giant covered porch opens onto a private yard shaded by oaks that were old before the house was built. There's a fire pit. There are rocking chairs. There is exactly nothing to do but be there.
The Comforts
☞ 2 California king beds + 2 queen beds (sleeps 8) ☞ 2 full baths — upstairs has a soaking tub and separate shower ☞ Fully stocked gourmet kitchen ☞ 200 Mbps WiFi + 2 Smart TVs with Netflix ☞ Full washer/dryer on-site ☞ Parking for up to 4 vehicles ☞ Easy self check-in
The Location

We were greeted by Dave, our wonderful host. Everything in the house was on point. The house, the backyard view, the neighborhood is breathtaking. We absolutely loved and enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous home full of history and peaceful vibes. And the walk to Stedman's landing to watch the sunset is a must.
Perfect location, lovely house, very responsive owner. Linens were excellent. Fairhope is a very nice city with lots to do and see. We enjoyed our stay very much!
This house is in a very convenient location for visiting Fairhope, Daphne, and even Foley and Gulf Shores. It is a very nice house that is well-appointed. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. We enjoyed our 9 day stay very much and will consider again for future trips.
Absolutely loved our stay at this awesome house! Dave was an incredible host and very attentive, and the location is ideal for enjoying the Fairhope/Daphne area. We’ll be back!
We had a wonderful Christmas week in this very unique, historic, comfortable, and .convenient house! Such an interesting interior! Historic beautiful light fixtures and furnishings to suit the comfort and entertaining needs of our large family. Our host was welcoming, informative and friendly.
We had the absolute best stay at this Fairhope home! Dave was incredibly helpful and responsive from start to finish, and he gave us the best recommendations for things to do with both the kids and the adults. He truly went above and beyond to make sure our trip was smooth and fun.The house itself is stunning — beautifully designed and exactly as described (if not better!). The beds were so comfortable, and the towels and linens felt luxurious. Every detail made it feel special and welcoming.It truly is the coolest house in Fairhope, just like the listing says. We would absolutely stay here again!
We loved our stay in this charming historic home right in the heart of downtown Fairhope. It was clean, cozy, and full of character — close to shops, restaurants, and the pier. The perfect mix of comfort and charm. We’ll definitely be back!
We came to Fairhope for a wedding and stayed for a long weekend (Thursday-Sunday). This house itself and the location was perfect for what we needed. Dave was great at communication and made sure that we had everything we needed before we even arrived and checked in with us daily as well. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone else looking for a good and safe place to stay.
We enjoyed our stay at the Coolest House in Fairhope. There were six of us including my wife and our adult children and their spouse/friend, so the house layout suited us well with 4 bedrooms and comfortable queen/king beds in each room. The multiple living areas upstairs and down and the large dining room gave us plenty of space to gather. We also enjoyed the large porches outside and the beautiful yard. Everything was in full bloom while we were there and the weather was perfect for sitting outside. The house is in an ideal location for easy access to downtown Fairhope and Daphne as well as the beach. Don't miss the short 5-10 minute walk to Steadman's Landing, a city park, that gives you access to the bay for morning walks on the beach and beautiful sunsets in the evening. Our hosts, Dave and Jen, were available if we needed anything and offered recommendations for dining. The house was well furnished with everything we needed. We would definitely recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and it was refreshing to stay in a home and neighborhood with so much history and beautiful architecture. We did wish there was a little blurb with history of the house and neighborhood. It would just add to the experience.Hosts were attentive to any needs we might have, although all was provided.The home was clean, beds were comfortable, plenty of high end linens. Our favorite place was the back porch. We spent morning and evening hours enjoying the PORCH!Thank you and we hope to be back soon!
This house is amazing! It combines the nostalgia from earlier times and the charm of the area in present day. Not only is the house amazing, but the property itself. It sits on what I suspect is an acre or more, and is surrounded by a number of live oak trees. The front porch provides a welcoming spot to sit and enjoy the breeze. Also, it is a short drive from downtown Fairhope and the Fairhope pier where incredible sunsets can be witnessed.Check-in was incredibly easy. Our first impression was that the house was very clean and very well appointed. It had everything that we needed for our stay. If you are in the Fairhope Alabama area, I highly recommend you consider choosing this property for your stay. You will not be disappointed!
