Private Fairhope Waterfront Retreat, Two Complete Residences, Sleeps Up to 14
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
Completely reimagined in 2024 with new construction finishes throughout — every surface, fixture, and appliance selected for quality and comfort. Light-filled and serene, with wide-plank hardwood floors and a design sensibility that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable.
- King bedroom, two queen bedrooms — each ensuite with private bath, smart TV, and screened balcony access - Chef's kitchen with waterfall counters, designer tile, premium appliances, and canal views - Open living area with wood-burning fireplace and abundant natural light - Wraparound screened deck — ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings - Separate laundry room with washer and dryer

Also fully reimagined in 2024 with the same uncompromising attention to finish quality — and a completely different personality. Open, dramatic, and built for gathering, with an energy that pulls the whole group in.
- Acid-stained floors in copper and turquoise — a surface that reads more like art than flooring - Hand-wrapped cedar structural posts framing an open, loft-style living and dining space - Chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, generous counter space, and open dining area - Kitchen island seating for four, dining table for six, two lounge areas — room to spread out and linger - Ensuite bedroom with private bath - Open loft-style sleeping area with trundle bed (converts to 2 twins or 1 king) and two rolling twin cots - Spa-inspired bath with soaking tub - 600 sq ft screened lanai with picnic table and BBQ seating - Private gym with professional equipment (elliptical, weights, inversion table) - Dedicated workspace with desk, power and USB outlets - Separate laundry room

The property was wonderful! Extremely clean, incredibly well appointed kitchens, new appliances…..very comfortable for our family. We all highly recommend this home. Sheri, our host, was remarkable and easy to work with, very attentive to us. Thank you Sheri!Great place to bring your dog…..our little Neo enjoyed his stay too! We would definitely book this home again. Gwynne HB
Great for families. Great outdoor space. We loved the downstairs screened in porch. Kitchens were very well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. The location was great. It was quiet and peaceful. Lots of room indoors to spread out and not be cramped. We had such a great time.
This property is gorgeous, exactly as listed! The location is beautiful, nestled into the end of the canal with birds chirping, and lovely sunset. The accommodations were very comfortable, very clean and can’t think of a thing it didn’t have for our stay.The wrap around porch was a treat! Thank you for an outstanding experience.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The family enjoyed the location and the upstairs space however there was an issue with musty smelly odor downstairs. My guests did not stay downstairs when cooking or eating. We had all gatherings upstairs with the exception of the back screened. Porch. There were a few issues with water leaking from the plumbing upstairs into the lower floor. Though a very lovely upstairs and lovely gourmet kitchens the downstairs is very open with only privacy in the one bedroom. The plumbing leak from upstairs thru downstairs light was being addressed after we left. The trundle bed that turned into a king bed was broke so I slept on the top of the trundle bed and my husband slept on sofa. Neither of us could sleep on the folding cot. I would not return to this VRBO.
A beautiful home in a quiet location with easy access to Hwy 98.Nine adults and 4 kids gathered to celebrate Dad’s birthday. We all slept comfortably & loved that there was no shortage of restrooms! The downstairs was perfect for the younger ones to play, and the adults enjoyed lounging in the screened porches. Both kitchens were thoughtfully stocked with all necessities, plus small appliances like rice cookers, air fryers, and even 3 options for making coffee. Nothing was lacking— we were able to prepare meals together in the kitchens with the cooking and serving ware provided. Sheri was super friendly and easy to communicate with; she answered all of our questions prior to our visit, and was available to help us trouble shoot potential issues when we arrived. Our door code was sent ahead of time, and check in was a breeze. Everyone felt at home and had a great time during our stay. We would love to come back again!
