Comfortable, Charming, and Immersive

Comfortable, charming cottage nearby Point Clear and a short drive from downtown Fairhope. My friends and I had an amazing weekend and can't wait to come back. My one item of feedback is that the metal bedframes were especially squeaky, rear bedroom in particular.

A great little quiet place

The property was as pictured and the home was clean. It was very quiet at night. The host was easy to get in touch with and responsive to a question we had upon arrival.

Wonderful Girls Getaway

This is the cutest house. Decorated beautifully and had tons of room. Mary Louise was so nice and helpful. You are close to everything and we felt safe there being all women. We hated to leave.

A wonderful stay!

We enjoyed our visit to Fairhope! The property was a short distance to downtown Fairhope and The Grand which were both things we did while there. The house was perfect for six adults! Would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing quiet cottage but close to downtown Fairhope and may outside cities!

The property is PERFECT! We were able to relax, bbq, cook a few meals, great tv coverage in living area and master bedroom. our 2 kitties came with us. and had a great time watching the 3 horses in the back property. The horses were super friendly and came to us for carrots. The property is in a perfect location to get to fun activites. We went to tour the USS Alabama and learned alot of history. Shopping in atique stores were fantastic with lots of great treasures. We had birthday dinner at The Wash House which we highly recommend. Lunch at Locals during one of our shopping trips was also great! Can't wait to go back to this very clean VRBO and Fairhope such a clean and friendly place!
