⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ “The property was amazing. We felt at home. The cabin was squeaky clean and presented beautifully. The private porches and space is so pleasant. We also enjoyed all the extras....gated property (felt very safe and private), common area in yard (including the play area for games) and extra bathroom and bath, coffee, and half and half, and hand soaps, shampoo, conditioner and bath gel for showers. We were soo relaxed, wanted to leave shades open the entire time to enjoy the beauty of the gardens.” ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

About the host

Hosted by Dave Kirby

Host profile image
We're Dave and Jenny — we live nearby and run Hope Cottages as a full-time operation. You'll get a real response when you reach out, not an auto-reply, and someone who knows every restaurant, trail, and back road in Fairhope. We designed Faith Cottage around what we love about this town: genuine hospitality, great food within walking distance, and outdoor spaces worth lingering in. Our guests tell us we got it right — we'll let the reviews speak for themselves.

Why they chose this property

Faith Cottage is one of the few Gold Fortified vacation rentals in the area — a construction standard that costs more to build and shows in every detail. Add a private gated garden on a double lot, a central Fairhope address that puts the city's best food and entertainment one block away, and hosts who live just down the street. That combination is hard to find. Our most common guest feedback: they wish they'd booked more nights.

What makes this property unique

720 sq ft on a private double lot — rare for a central Fairhope address
Gold Fortified construction: built for coastal Alabama weather, quieter, better insulated
Private gated entry with automatic close — coded separately from the sister cottage
Two 14/50 EV chargers on-site (bring your wall adapter)
One block to downtown Fairhope dining and entertainment
One block to Stimpson Park pickleball and tennis courts
Two blocks to Thomas Hospital
Five-minute walk to the Municipal Pier
300 Mbps WiFi
