Artsy 3/2 Cottage near the Bay in Charming Fairhope - just renovated
Welcome to this delightful home in Fairhope with a history to boot! This charming property has been newly renovated. There are 3 cozy bedrooms - one with a king bed, one with a queen bed, and a fun bunk bed with an additional twin bed. With 2 bathrooms featuring a shower, bathtub, and hair dryer, guests will feel right at home. Our place is equipped for both long or short stays to make your stay in Fairhope one to remember. This cottage has an attached studio apartment on the left side of the home that rents separately. Both are private spaces.
A little history about the house: The Betancourt Bungalow is the beloved home of local artist Joan Betancourt. She bought the house in 1979 and transformed the one-car garage into an art studio, where she created stunning watercolor and acrylic landscapes of Fairhope. Joan taught art both in her studio and at the Fairhope Art Center. Before renovating her home, she painted murals and various scenes on the walls, but sadly they had to be covered up for necessary updates. However, you’ll be delighted to find many of her original works adorning the walls of this charming bungalow. Hand-painted furniture pieces add a touch of whimsy and character, embodying our family’s running joke: "If it doesn’t move, she’ll paint it." This home holds a special place in our hearts, so please treat it as if it were your own... or even better!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Perfect weekend getaway accommodations
Very pleased with everything. Host had left a wonderful welcome gift which was so thoughtful.Only comment I’d add is to make sure to tell renters to use door on right. There was some slight confusion upon our arrival.Overall, very pleased with everything.
