Timeless Elegance in Historic Fairhope: A Century-Old Masterpiece
Step into a living piece of Alabama history, where luxury meets legacy in this extraordinary 1910 estate. On over an acre of majestic live oaks in prestigious Montrose, this rare historic gem offers an unparalleled stay that modern accommodations simply cannot match. Built by William D. Randall and cherished by only a handful of distinguished families (including a Venezuelan consul), this architectural masterpiece preserves the elegance of a bygone era while providing all modern comforts. Imagine sipping morning coffee beneath century-old oak trees in your expansive private yard, or unwinding in spaces once graced by diplomats and distinguished Alabamians. This isn't just accommodation—it's an opportunity to become part of Fairhope history.

The sidewalk in front of our home is a part of the Eastern Shore Trail, which runs 22 miles from Interstate 10 down the eastern shore of Mobile Bay all the way down to Weeks Bay. You’ll encounter walkers (and their pups!), runners, and casual cyclists on the trail and you can walk for miles in either directions. In some parts of the trail you’re walking right beside the bay, and in other parts you’ll be a bit inland from the water. You’ll see lots of public access areas along the way that will put you on sandy beaches and bulkheaded areas with great views.

Book now to experience the irreplaceable charm and character that only a century of history can create.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

This house is amazing! It combines the nostalgia from earlier times and the charm of the area in present day. Not only is the house amazing, but the property itself. It sits on what I suspect is an acre or more, and is surrounded by a number of live oak trees. The front porch provides a welcoming spot to sit and enjoy the breeze. Also, it is a short drive from downtown Fairhope and the Fairhope pier where incredible sunsets can be witnessed.Check-in was incredibly easy. Our first impression was that the house was very clean and very well appointed. It had everything that we needed for our stay. If you are in the Fairhope Alabama area, I highly recommend you consider choosing this property for your stay. You will not be disappointed!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and it was refreshing to stay in a home and neighborhood with so much history and beautiful architecture. We did wish there was a little blurb with history of the house and neighborhood. It would just add to the experience.Hosts were attentive to any needs we might have, although all was provided.The home was clean, beds were comfortable, plenty of high end linens. Our favorite place was the back porch. We spent morning and evening hours enjoying the PORCH!Thank you and we hope to be back soon!

Great property

We came to Fairhope for a wedding and stayed for a long weekend (Thursday-Sunday). This house itself and the location was perfect for what we needed. Dave was great at communication and made sure that we had everything we needed before we even arrived and checked in with us daily as well. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone else looking for a good and safe place to stay.
