Monica was a joy to deal with. It was a nice getaway. No problems except the beds were not the most comfortable. We enjoyed shopping downtown , delicious meals, and ice cream .Be sure to stop by Fairhope pier, so very nice. If you are in doubt about Fairhope, don’t be …book with Monica.

Quaint town, great sunset and wildlife views. Property manager was super friendly and helpful! Cottage was just ok but clean. Would have been nice to have a beach or pier but it suited our needs for a short stay.

Thank you for the nice review. I'm glad your family had a good time at the cottage and we hope you will come back again. We will put more attention in the yard. A larger shower and bathroom would be very nice, and not easy to accomplish in the small cottage. We continue to look for options. Clyde

A quiet, peaceful, restful cottage on Mobile Bay. A place to 'chill'. Yes, Fairhope is right down the road with restaurants and shopping, but the vibe here is mellow. Take a seat on the deck, steps away from the Bay, and you'll be mesmerized, not sure you want to go anywhere. Herons, pelicans, martins, laughing gulls, all under arching, graceful pines and live oaks. A truly restorative experience.

This cottage was perfect for our needs. We had booked a larger/newer place for a family birthday celebration. When the guest list grew, we booked this smaller place for overflow. It turned out to be an excellent decision. My husband and I stayed here. The cottage provides excellent views of sunset over the bay. It's quiet and restful. I would stay here again. As for recommendations, it would be perfect for a couple or a family with young children. Every amenity is provided. The bathroom is small and the shower is very small but the water pressure is excellent. The cottage is dated but it has nostalgia. As I said, for the price it was perfect.

My trip to do nothing but rest

Being a historical renovation contractor i enjoy my few days here. Property was built in 1952. It has its own character. Enjoyed sitting on deck watching out over the bay. Sunset was outstanding. Nice place to relax. Close to all restaurants and only 25 minutes to Gulf Shores.

Wonderful Property and Manager!

Manager is very personable and property is exactly as shown in the listing. Yard could have been better maintained. We have family we come and visit every year and we would definitely stay here again.
