What a cute cottage, plenty of room, well stocked, nice linens, clean and close proximity to all Fairhope has to offer. Enjoyed sitting in the screened porch listening to the birds and drinking coffee. Afternoons on the front porch with a glass of wine to settle down from a busy day. Will definitely recommend to friends!

Host is very respnsive and attentive. there are 3 kinds of coffee makers there, PLUS for there are pods ready for you to use. Pantry spices are readily available which makes it so very nice to not have to do a grocery haul of everything to be able to stay comfortably. Furniture is comfortable and a lot of it if you have a large group. backyard is a good size. parking is easy and beds are comfortable. Easy location to walk to downtown or the bay. highly recommend
