A wonderful place for our annual family bay-cation. The house was everything we had expected. The number of steps, however, was a challenge.

Wonderful Home

My family and I had another wonderful stay at this home. This is our fourth visit to this property, and each time we come, we are amazed by the stunning views and beauty of the area. The owners pay great attention to detail, ensuring that the guest experience is exceptional. Each visit, we notice improvements to the home. This time around, we enjoyed the new sectional in the living room, which was a big hit! This home is well-appointed, clean, comfortable, and inviting. We have made fantastic memories here during our many visits, and we can't wait to return. Thank you Cussens for being outstanding hosts!

Absolutely loved our stay!

My wife and I have loved the bay our whole lives. Now we have converted other family and friends, thanks to this wonderful place on earth. The house is great, the bay is lovely, caught crabs off the dock and close to fresh seafood (Billy's & Tin top) as well as golf, and the beach. We're trying to figure out how to re-book and find other accommodation for more family next year!

Wonderful Retreat

Can’t say anything negative about the property. The weather was a little dicey since we didn’t spend as much time outside as we would have liked but the inside was A-Ok. We enjoyed our girls trip immensely.

Cute house!

We loved this house! The pier was awesome! Saw dolphins almost daily. The inside of the house was so cute. We spent a lot of time sitting on the back porch watching the ocean. We wished we had remembered our binoculars. Thank you so much for letting us borrow your house!

Grandkids

We booked this property so our grandchildren could experience all the bay has to offer. Their ages 6-12. They fished and crabbed until they feel asleep exhausted. They had a blast. The big second floor was perfect for them. They would love to return.

Wonderful Family Summer Trip

This was such a wonderful summer vacation home for my family and I. We absolutely fell in love with this property! And we will absolutely be booking this house again!! Waking up to the beautiful view of the bay and walking down the pier each morning and evening watching the sunset was amazing. It was a great summer memory for my entire family! And the owner Paul was so nice! And very quick to respond to only one small issue we had. I would highly recommend this hidden Gem!

This place is everything it advertised. Great host, amenities are on point, and the view is the best

The host thought of everything in this rental. Wireless phone charges, charcoal grills, all dishes needed just grab groceries and charcoal and the house is amazing. Coming from someone that has built houses for a living this property is amazing. I love all the finished wood used to trim the house the stairway is a work of art and the kitchen is the best. We will definitely be back.

First time in Fairhope, and won't be the last!

This property played an integral part in blowing us away in our first visit to Fairhope. It was better than the pictures, and we were blessed with great weather while we were there. It has a quaint cottage feel but with plenty of space and beds. We stayed with 4 young kids and enjoyed every second. Lots of extras included to make the stay easy - cooking supplies, a couple beach chairs, towels, etc. The kids played nonstop at the sand, and we loved eating breakfast and drinking coffee from the porch while we watched them make childhood memories. We will certainly return!

A little piece of heaven....

Very neat and clean. The bay view was great. Bring your own crab traps....heck, we only caught one but it was fun trying. Launched our boat down the road and drove it to our wharf to pick-up grandkids for tubing. Even with the occassional rain from the storms, it was a great oasis.
