Fairhope, Alabama
Start the day perched from a vantage that can yield a spectacular sunrise. If you are lucky, a school of bottle-nose porpoises will pass just off the end of the pier. A place where brown pelicans and seagulls dive for fish and wild ducks glide just out of reach into perfect landings in the small canal that runs alongside the house. Equip yourself with a rod and enjoy some of the best fishing around, or head out with your favorite book as the tide gently laps at the foot of the pilings of the pier. Weeks bay is a treasure of undiscovered natural beauty. The cozy little cabin comes equipped with three bedrooms, two baths and all the amenities needed for good living, including a washer, and dryer. The cabin sleeps up to ten with couches and bunks for the little fishermen. Strategically located, headquarters is just 15 minutes from downtown Fairhope where you can enjoy shopping the quaint little boutiques; or drive forty minutes south to sun on the beautiful white sands of Gulf Shores. Between excursions on the rivers that feed the small bay, you can tie the boat at the end of the pier; or dock alongside the house in the small channel depending on the tides. For dinner, you can cook fresh seafood ( caught or bought) in the full kitchen, or try one of the many restaurants in whatever direction you happen to drive. Then get up the next day and start all over again. We have baby and toddler items (pack n play, high chair, and toys) available.
We loved it
I really can't say enough good things about our experience with this rental. First, the booking process was seamless. The owner, was very helpful, kind and responsive. We booked the house for a family. Fairhope is a magical getaway destination. The house is right up on the bay.
The stay went well enjoyed the bay
This was our second stay at Sunrise Cottage and we will stay again!! The house itself is just perfect for our family and the location is great for all we like to do when on vacation. We really enjoy the peace and quiet.
My family just completed our third annual gathering at Sunrise Cottage. This private get-away is perfect for our interests: crabbing, fishing, cooking together, local culture. My preteen granddaughter and I caught crab in the available traps and fed quite a bit to the family. We are working on fishing skills; a nearby bait shop offered helpful suggestions, including best bait choices. We bought local foods at the early summer Fairhope Farmers Market and fish, oysters, shrimp, and gumbo at Billy's Seafood. We love the Royal Reds. My children arranged a 90 minute massage for me in Fairhope. It was quite the relaxing gift. Some of the family went to Orange Beach for a concert on the Gulf waters; they loved it. I enjoyed an afternoon at Fairhope Museum of History. Drinks around sunset at the Grand Hotel is a treat. There are so many choices for each generation. But, mostly, we just enjoyed being together at Sunrise Cottage and its awesome pier watching an occasional dolphin, pelicans and seagulls feeding, and, of course, checking the crab nets. It has been a comfortable and quiet setting for family time on Weeks Bay for three years now. The owner graciously responded to our needs; we think she is awesome. My daughter found this location, and we are thankful for this cottage and for wonderful memories it's given us.
This is a great, quiet location in one of my favorite places! It is a little dated, but that adds to the charm (and affordability I'm sure). I was very happy with this place. The pier is nice and the sunrise is epic. Many lights are controlled via pull chain, and one in the kitchen is turned on by the stove. Comfortable beds, dish tv; just a great place to vacation & I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Wonderful location with vibrant sunrises and an abundance of nature. The comfortable home is conveniently located to areas of interest but the best part of the day is simply relaxing on the deck while enjoying nature at play.
This is better than described. The property is right on Weeks Bay and is picture perfect!! Definitely plan on staying there again!!
Sunrise cottage was just right; the fishing crabing location. We had wonderful time.
It was so peaceful and relaxing!! Can't wait to visit again:)
