Another perfect stay in this home. Great location, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped however I didn't cook anything since there are so many fabulous places to eat. I'll be booking again in a few months. The yard was great too for my elderly dog. She enjoyed sunning herself and could seek shade too. Beach is nearby and plenty of music options right in Fairhope. Love it here!!!!! Thank you again for sharing your home. LP Huntsville, AL

We had a wonderful stay at "the house among the oaks" as we called it. It was such a comfortable house with plenty of room, comfy bed, and nice fenced backyard for our corgi. We enjoyed having our coffee on the front porch. The neighbors across the street were friendly. It was such a great area to walk. We will definitely stay there again.

This is our fourth or fifth stay at this house. We keep coming back year after year, because we have such an amazing time in Fairhope and love staying at Rhonda and Dan’s cozy little cottage. The neighborhood and the neighbors are all so nice. I enjoy taking a walk down to the bay each evening with my dog and watching the sunset. I 100% recommend this home and this town as a lovely place to visit and stay!

Wonderful neighborhood

My wife and I stayed the month of January. The house was very close to the bay and met all our expectations for cleanliness and suitablity. The kitchen had pretty much all you need for cooking. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms very nice. The fenced back yard was ideal for our dogs. We would love to stay here again.

House is in a wonderful location. Neighbors are very nice. Just a short walk to the bay, to town, to the Dragonfly food bar, the Grand Hotel, and many other noteworthy locations. I am a walker and loved being able to walk to so many different places. House is small but comfortable. Newly remodeled bathroom is awesome!

Best in Fairhope

This has to be one of the best short term rentals in Fairhope. The house is in the fruit and nut district, a neighborhood of homes of an assortment of architectural styles, all very well maintained and cared for. Our house was a short 3 blocks to the bay, public docks, and a walking trail. The rooms in the house are all spacious. Even more importantly, the rooms all have comfortable furniture! The living room has 2 comfy chairs and a large sofa-- also comfy. The larger of the 2 bathrooms is really large with a super nice walk in shower. Lots of hot water and great water pressure. The interior of the house has fresh paint in a stylish color. All new appliances and a well stocked kitchen. Huge white fluffy towels and washcloths. I sat out on the front porch and read just about every afternoon. The sun was shaded by the gigantic live oak tree. It was easy to communicate with the owners and it was an easy no-contact check in and check out. We loved our stay in Fairhope and we loved everything about this house. It was just perfect!

Perfect cottage for quiet get away

This cottage was perfect for our stay. The well-kept yard with giant old tree in the front give that wonderful combination of calm and excitement when you first pull in the drive. The bright and updated interior when you first walk in the door give that wonderful feeling of knowing you've made a good choice. The cottage was very clean and well appointed. It had the convenience of key staples to get us started (i.e., soap, dishwashing detergent, paper towels, basic spices, hair dryer). The living room furniture with reclining chairs and generous couch were very comfortable. To add to our cozy nights in, there were plenty of extra blankets. For those who want to cook, you have what's needed in pots, pans, utensils, & basic small appliances. We cooked several meals, running into no problems and having a good cooking experience. The location is fantastic. We enjoyed walking (about a half mile) to the bay for sunset. It's a straight shot to the park, where you can enjoy a bench or go down to the sandy beach by the water. This park has a paved path with tree cover for a stroll or exercise. Also, we either walked or drove into downtown (about a mile I believe) for wonderful meals. Bay Breeze and Locals are two favorites. Just a bit further out are Sunflower Cafe & Sunset Pointe, which are also favorites of ours. The storage shed has bikes as well as two wonderful reclining chairs for the back yard. The hosts were very accommodating. I highly recommend them and this cottage.

This is a very nice older home that has been redone recently. It is in a great neighborhood close to the city park on Mobile Bay. It is about a mile from downtown and an easy walk if one is up to it. Fairhope has a number of great restaurants and plenty of things to do. We’d come back again in a heartbeat.

Loved our 3 month stay at this lovely home located in the best area of Fairhope! Beautifully decorated, comfy beds, felt like a home away from home. Located just a few blocks from the bay, parks and bike path. Close to downtown and restaurants. The Henderson’s (owners) were great and very easy to communicate with. We’ve already booked our stay for next winter.! 😎Will miss watching the beautiful sunsets over the bay.
