A wonderful, quiet, comfortable home to enjoy close to Fairhope. We were 5 adults and everyone loved their sleeping quarters, deco, cleanliness and large living space. We had space for meals, games, and just chilling. Great parking. Our host were quick to return texts and easy to work with. Thanks for allowing me to share our experience.

Everything was wonderful. The house was neat , clean and in a great location. The only issue we had was that we did not have enough towels and wash cloths. We needed 2 more of each. I look forward to booking again next year.

Hi Tracy, Thank you so much for your feedback regarding the towels. We normally keep plenty of extra towels stocked in the closet. Unfortunately, we recently had a guest who stained several of them, and we had already placed an order for replacements. We were out of the country for three weeks, and the new towels did not arrive in time before your stay. We truly appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Don and DK

This is a lovely house. Beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds and nice bed sheets. Area is nice and quiet. The pool wasnt opened, closed for the season. We were under the impression that the house was on a golf course but, it isnt. There is a golf course about 5 minutes away. The host are nice and easy to get in touch with. The only issue we found was the lack of privacy, the host has 4 RING cameras, 2 of which are looking straight in the property, one is right next door to the main bedroom and the other one is on the shed outside looking in. Overall, its a nice, comfortable and close to everything property. Yes, i would recommend choosing this place but be aware of the cameras.

Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing to stay with us—we’re truly glad to hear you found the home comfortable and enjoyed the peaceful area. We appreciate you sharing your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve and better communicate with future guests. We’d like to gently clarify that all cameras on the property are located on the exterior only. Due to the larger yard space, a few additional cameras are in place to help ensure the safety of both our guests and the home, especially when the property is vacant. Guest privacy is extremely important to us, and we do not monitor cameras during stays unless there is a concern. Our listing indicates that the property is located within a golf course community. This particular home also offers views of the community swimming pool from various rooms. We’re sorry for any confusion and will continue to make our description as clear as possible. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and for recommending our home—it truly means a lot to us. We would love the opportunity to host you again in the future! Don and DK

These hosts went above and beyond. The house is freshly renovated, clean and comfortable. It is close to grocery stores and dining. The outdoor space is welcoming and cozy. There were so many little unexpected details that made this rental stand out, from a fully stocked coffee bar, to welcome waters and snacks and extra toothpaste, mouthwash and razors. It was the perfect place for us to enjoy all of the festivities surrounding our daughter’s college graduation!

First off, host communication was amazing. Prompt responses to my questions at every turn. Much appreciated. Secondly, the place was super clean. Everything was thought of - if we forgot tooth paste/razors, it was provided. Soap, shampoo, conditioner - check. Coffee, snacks, and some waters - check. Great location as well in a very quiet neighborhood with access to the pool. We will repeat our stay in the future here (or at their other property they own as well due to how the owners simply thought of every minor detail. Thanks again for a magical stay with our family where we made alot of fun memories! Until next time....

We have stayed in several homes in the area and this is by far our favorite. It was very clean and in a great location. Private backyard which we enjoyed. First place we have stayed where we didn’t have to message the host about problems. Everything was great!
