About this property

Private Fairhope Waterfront Retreat, Two Complete Residences, Sleeps Up to 14

Built for groups who want to be genuinely together without sacrificing privacy.

A completely reimagined waterfront home where the beauty of the Gulf Coast lives inside as much as out — copper and turquoise floors that echo the water, cedar posts that echo the woodland, design-forward finishes throughout.

Two fully independent residences under one roof — each with its own kitchen, living room, bathrooms, laundry, and private outdoor space. Together they offer 3,400+ square feet with 5 full bathrooms, multiple screened porches, a 600 square foot screened lanai, wraparound decks, and canal access to the Weeks Bay Estuary.

This is a private retreat for the group staying here — intimate, secluded, and completely self-contained. Guests come for Fairhope weddings, conventions, regional sports competitions, concerts on the bay, art festivals, Gulf Shores beach weekends, and family reunions. They leave having experienced something that settles into memory and stays there.

Upstairs — Warm Minimalist Haven

Completely reimagined in 2024 with new construction finishes throughout — every surface, fixture, and appliance selected for quality and comfort. Light-filled and serene, with wide-plank hardwood floors and a design sensibility that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable.

- King bedroom, two queen bedrooms — each ensuite with private bath, smart TV, and screened balcony access
- Chef's kitchen with waterfall counters, designer tile, premium appliances, and canal views
- Open living area with wood-burning fireplace and abundant natural light
- Wraparound screened deck — ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings

Downstairs — The One That Stops You

Also fully reimagined in 2024 with the same uncompromising attention to finish quality — and a completely different personality. Open, dramatic, and built for gathering, with an energy that pulls the whole group in.

- Acid-stained floors in copper and turquoise — a surface that reads more like art than flooring
- Hand-wrapped cedar structural posts framing an open, loft-style living and dining space
- Chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, generous counter space, and open dining area
- Kitchen island seating for four, dining table for six, two lounge areas — room to spread out and linger

- Open loft-style sleeping area with trundle bed (converts to 2 twins or 1 king) and two rolling twin cots

About the host

Host profile image
I’m an adventurous spirit who loves exploring new places, cultures, experiences and especially hidden gems off the beaten path.

Family means the world to me, and I enjoy creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere for guests because I believe every stay should feel like coming home. Hosting allows me to connect with fellow explorers and share the joy of discovering new places, or simply creating an inviting space for you to unwind.

I grew up in Long Island, NY and lived in San Diego, CA for a long time before moving to Fairhope, Al. Blessed to have had the opportunity to live in three beautiful areas of the US.

Safe travels!

Why they chose this property

The privacy and serenity of the location and the fact that it is located on a canal with direct access to Weeks Bay, one of the most ecologically diverse places in the world drew me in. I wanted to be on the water without being directly on the bay because lots are smaller there and weather less favorable.

The location is close enough to downtown Fairhope and a variety of top notch restaurants to feel like a member of the community but being in a rural suburban neighborhood meant that I could avoid the congestion of town.

That being said, when I first purchased the property it was ROUGH. Every surface needed to be modernized, and the house was "taken down to the studs." Two years of hard work and living on the property through all of the challenges of remodeling, I am proud to offer a completely renovated property with high end finishes to my guests. l loved living there, enjoy staying there and hope you will too.

What makes this property unique

- contemporary waterfront living
- two separate living spaces
- integrated with the serenity of nature, but screened in outdoor spaces means wildlife and insects won't get too close!
- across the street from a nature preserve
- modern upscale design
