The kitchen was fully equipped and was great as i cook most meal. The location to downtown and the wharf was a perfect walk after a meal. The carriage house was welcoming and the flowers were beautiful. Owners responded quickly the few times i texted them. Had a wonderful time in fairhope
We stayed here for a wedding in Fairhope. It was so convenient and easy to walk to the downtown shops/food. We loved our experience at the Palmetto Carriage House.
A nice and quiet place that is perfect for 2 people. The property is charming and close to downtown Fairhope. The carriage house was nicely furnished and the king bed was comfortable.
We had a great time staying in the carriage house for a long wedding weekend. The place was immaculate and had everything you might need and more!
We enjoyed walking to Downtown and it was super convenient for all of the wedding festivities!
Hope to be back soon!
I just spent a month at the Carriage House. It is a lovely and peaceful spot. The location is great, easy to get to shops and restaurants or out to the highway. It would have been nice to have a bit more of a kitchen but that will not likely be an issue for shorter rentals. Have coffee with the squirrels and Cardinals in the morning!
This home MADE our Weekend Away the Best We've ever had!
I can't even begin to tell you how much we loved staying here! It was SO cute! Quaint, tastefully adorned, and so many thoughtful amenities throughout the space. We even had a handwritten note when we arrived! Summer was the best host we've ever dealt with! She was very informative of the area (book is inside) and instructions ahead of time to check in, parking, etc. It was also very clean! The location was ABSOLTUEY perfect. Literally a minute drive into downtown. We even snuck back out at 9:30pm one night just to get dessert from Tamaras! Ha! I swear that was the most comfortable bed and linens I've ever slept in. It was just the perfect, coziest place we've ever had the privilege of staying in. Thank you, Summer! We will absolutely try to sneak away to stay here again!
We loved this little house! It was so perfect for us and exactly what we needed for our trip. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It was so homey, cozy and inviting. Very comfortable like home away from home. We hated to leave and can’t wait to return. Summer was great! When I had questions, I was blown away at the speed of her responses. She has created quite a special little gem that has etched a place in our hearts.
The only thing I wish could be different is the driveway—which given the layout of the property and neighborhood probably can’t be changed. There were multiple vehicles at the other rental property during our stay, so it was very tight to come and go, even for my car. The front end of our car is very low so we also had to be careful not to drag coming and going. But if we would’ve driven one of our SUVs I’m not sure how that would’ve worked. So when it says the driveway is tight, it is tight. It’s absolutely doable—just be aware. Even so, there’s no way that it would keep us away. :)
The cottage was perfect, very clean, close to town with everything we needed. We had coffee and a light breakfast there every morning a perfect way to start the day. Thank you for the card and gift very thoughtful, we enjoyed our stay very much!
This was either our sixth or seventh visit to this precious carriage house. The only place we’d consider staying.
