We loved everything about this house. The check in was super convenient. The front porch and back porch areas were so comfy and a great place for our family to relax after a long day of traveling. We will definitely be back next year.

Wonderful Getaway

Our little family enjoyed our stay so much. The cottage has two cozy porches, that are so relaxing! The host was helpful and available every step of the way. The house was clean and ready for us. We opted to rent a golf cart for the stay. We did not have to get in the car the entire time. We loved Fairhope & the location of this home.

Perfect place for our annual girl trip

The house was very clean and exactly as described. The porches were so perfect for playing games, sitting and talking or just relaxing. If I could give a 6 for “communication with property owner” , I would. We had no problems but Betsymade it more than clear that she was available if we needed anything.
