Walk to Downtown Fairhope · King Cottage for 2

“Nearby many great restaurants, but still far enough away to be peaceful when sitting outside on the patio.” — Zach, Feb 2026



🌿 THE GARDEN

Faith Cottage is the front of two private cottages at Hope Cottages-by-the-Bay, tucked behind a keypad gate on a double lot on Nichols Avenue. Your side opens onto a fully fenced garden terrace: a splashing fountain, a shaded breakfast nook for morning coffee, a table for alfresco dinners, and a lounge for wine under the trees and string lights. Butterfly gardens surround you, with figs and persimmons to pick in season. Guests tell us they leave the shades open all day just to look at it.



🏡 THE COTTAGE (720 sq ft, single level)

✔ King bed with 700 thread-count sheets and a Tempur-Pedic topper; sliding doors open onto the deck

✔ Spa bath: double vanity, pebble-floor walk-in shower with bench

✔ Kitchen with gas range, full-size fridge, dishwasher, chef's sink and island seating for four

✔ Simply Good Coffee brewer and Keurig, with ground coffee and pods ready

✔ Sectional, smart TV (sign into your own streaming apps), board and card games

✔ Desk with a garden view and 300 Mbps Wi-Fi

✔ Gold Fortified construction: quiet, cool in summer, warm in winter



📍 CLOSE, BUT QUIET

Downtown Fairhope is a 10-minute walk or 3-minute drive, yet you're off the main roads. Warehouse Bakery, Refuge Coffee and Fairhope Brewing are one block away, and so are the Stimpson Park pickleball and tennis courts. Guest favorites for dinner: Julwin's, Pearl, Sunset Pointe, Ben Jr. BBQ, and Little Bird, just named to The New York Times' "America's Best Restaurants 2026." The Municipal Pier and the bluff are a 5-minute drive for sunset.



This fall: First Friday Art Walk downtown (Oct 2), the National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores (Oct 8-11), Live at Five with Sammy Kershaw at Halstead Amphitheater (Oct 23), and the Fairhope Witches Ride (Oct 29). The Thursday Farmers Market runs behind the library.



🤝 YOUR HOSTS

Dave and Jen live just down the street and reply fast. Before you arrive, you'll get our list of favorite restaurants, coffee shops and things to do.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable *something very important to me*. The house has many thoughtful additions that we enjoyed. Also, we were so close to downtown Fairhope which was easily one of the most charming towns I’ve ever visited. Dave was a fantastic host as well! He was very quick to respond and just a wonderful person all around! If you’re a foodie like me, make sure to grab all his dining recommendations! We are already talking about our next trip back!

Close to everything yet feels completely secluded. Very tranquil setting with everything you can possibly need from the well stocked kitchen to the bathroom just bring your toothbrush! Gated, Covered parking, charging station for your EV. The property has 2 units but we never heard or saw the other occupants. Great communication with the oweners.. they really thought about every little detail! We will definitely be back.

We were in town for a wedding weekend. This was the perfect place for us. It was very nicely decorated and well furnished. The seating outside the cottage was private and comfortable as well as peaceful and quaint. We would really like to plan another trip to visit and stay here again when we can enjoy more of what Fairhope has to offer. It’s a very friendly town with plenty of shops, restaurants, and close enough that a day trip to the beach could be included. But even the bay pier and parks are good for resting and relaxing with a view. We will definitely book with this property again. Thank you for a nice stay and being such good hosts by providing good information and checking on us frequently.

A great peaceful retreat tucked away in an area you wouldn't expect to find such a beautiful place.Impeccable furnishings, and outdoor seating areas, complete with a fire pit, water feature, and privacy. Jen and Dave are ideal hosts with easy access and great communication. Would recommend this for any couple wanting to escape the madness of everyday life and enjoy a wonderful place to recharge your battery. Close to downtown and the great restaurants in Fairhope. We will definitely come back. Joe and Tina
