What an adorable property!! Excellent location, updated and very clean!! It was the perfect size for our needs. Really enjoyed our stay!!
Loved staying here. My parents and wife and I all stayed here for about 4 days. The interior is very nicely decorated. The hosts went above and beyond to make us comfortable. I would stay here again.
Definitely would book again.
I enjoyed my trip to Fairhope and the surrounding areas. All beautiful, and so friendly. I was there for an upcoming family reunion, about 60 miles away. The cottage was really pretty, and well-maintained. I felt safe, which was very important as I was traveling alone. The only things I had wished for was that the front door had a window shade for use during the evenings, and given I am only 5'4, the bathroom mirror was a little high for me. Thank you so much and I really enjoyed the cottage and my trip. Best, Brenda
This is our second time staying at the Hibou Blanc. We stayed in A in May 2022 and rented B for our June 2023 stay. Upon arriving, they have a personal note addressed to you and a bottle of champagne. In B, there is an honor bar and every single detail is curated for a wonderful guest stay. Drawers a labeled with contents, there are all the amenities available in the bathroom should you leave something, and everything is immaculate, clean, and screams luxury. If you have 5 friends, stay in B. There is a covered porch with bed swing where we stayed the entire time talking. In B, there is enough space for 3 to 4 comfortably if you double up in sleeping. We just had 3 and it was perfect. They have outside swings to lounge and a fire pit. I have never stayed at a place that had all the amenities that feels like a home away from home. With condos, you have to bring everything for cleaning supplies to trash bags. They have everything, along with laundry cleaning supplies. They have sound machines in the bedroom to block out any noise. The feel is a high end boutique hotel with all the amenities. We will be back next year! If you don’t book, you will be disappointed!
I simply can not say enough good things about La Hibou Blanc! My two best friends and I reserved the property for a girls' trip to celebrate our retirements, and it could not have been a more perfect weekend. Here are the highlights: 1. The hosts are lovely people who were very accommodating. Communication with them was easy and immediate, and I'm so grateful for their help. 2. The property itself is just lovely - high end furnishings, top of the line amenities, and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The hosts anticipated every need from ziploc bags to beach chairs. I felt like I was staying in a friend's home, as opposed to staying in a rental property. 3. Fairhope is the most incredible little town with beautiful views, friendly people, and delicious food. I've already told my husband that we're retiring there in a few years. 4. The location of the cottage was absolutely perfect. It's just a short walk to the bay and the most beautiful sunsets you can imagine. We were only a short drive to downtown Fairhope, so it was easy to get to all the shopping, restaurants, and live music the city had to offer. Since we were only a 55 minute drive from the beach, we drove in to Orange Beach and spent a day in the sand and sun. Thank you, Chris and Caroline, for a perfect girls' getaway. We'll be back!
Clean, updated, quiet. Located in a beautiful neighborhood. Melodious birds & friendly neighbors. Many unexpected but appreciated extra amenities.
This place couldn’t have been more perfect, and the owners were exceedingly helpful and communicative. The decor was beautiful and the place solidly built, not the chintzy look and quick-construction so ubiquitous among short term rentals. My husband and I held my Mom’s 80th birthday party here, and stayed with her and my aunt. It was just dreamy. So grateful.
I rented this property for a weekend as I was attending a wedding in the area. It was perfect! Beautifully appointed and every traveler’s need seemed to be anticipated down to the “Honesty Bar”. I have stayed in many many short term rental properties but this ranks as one of my favs! Love to return just to enjoy the unit and this beautiful town!
This house is in a great location. Within walking distance of the water and great restaurants. (Gambinos is a must if visiting). Very cozy and nicely decorated. Absolutely loved your honor bar- so nice to have a drink after traveling all day! Very comfortable.
The house was very well set up and comfortable. Enjoyed the walks along the bay and the kitchen was great.
This place was absolutely beautiful. It was decorated like a home, not a rental. The kitchen was so nice that we ended up passing on dinner out and made a charcuterie board on the butcher block! Quiet, comfortable, gorgeous, great location!
Fantastic location. Well appointed cottage. Everything as advertised. Can’t wait to return
My husband and I loved the accommodations and location!
Extremely easy!
The property was as advertised. . .loved the decor. Especially the square door knobs. Great outdoor area. Kitchen very well stocked. Beautiful dishes and stemware. It was a marvelous stay!
What a beautiful property! It was more than we could have imagined. Amazing inside with so many amenities. Across the street from the bay and town green space. We would love to return to this incredible property!
Our stay could not have been better. Everything was as pictured and described. We walked to the bay to watch a storm blow in; we rode the (supplied) bikes to Point Clear; and we sat outside all morning, sipping coffee, reading the paper and enjoying the breeze. Thee was nothing we needed that wasn't supplied. Although we brought our own, the Honor Bar was a wonderful touch! We will be back!
Great place to stay!
Wonderful hosts- highly recommend!
