This house was so cute and we loved it so much! We had the very best time.
We loved everything about this property! The only thing about not giving this property a 5 stars for cleanliness was that we felt the carpet in bedrooms need deep cleaning or replacing! Otherwise this property is absolutely perfect!! Thank you
Walking distance from everything. Very comfortable home.
Home was awesome. The only recommendation I have is for lights on the front and back porches so you can sit out at night. Owner was responsive when the smoke alarm started beeping.
We came in for a quick stay for a family wedding. Great location and within walking to everything. Beds were very comfortable. Home was clean. Check in and check out was easy with no hassles. Property management was responsive for questions. I would stay again.
Property beautiful and well located to all sorts of shopping, restaurants, beaches and parks. Only draw back was the property owners control over house thermostat and our inability to lower the temperature. My husband has a medical condition and this caused some issues for him.
Nice house with plenty of space and the location was great.
Very nice property; perfect for big group(s); great for extended stays; convenient location; attentive management communication
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Six adults were able to spread out, eat, play and relax in this spacious and beautifully decorated home. We loved walking in the neighborhood to the shops, restaurants and interesting art areas. Easy interaction with management. Will stay again!
This house is simply beautiful and perfectly located for downtown Fairhope. The host accommodated all of our request which was greatly appreciated. The house was beautifully decorated and was thoughtfully accommodating. Fresh coffee, hand made soaps, any pot, pan, dish, utensil that you may have remotely thought you might need was supplied. I would 1000% recommend this property. Thank you for such a lovely getaway.

Location was perfect and within walking distance of shopping and dining. Everyone in our party said they would definitely book again. Can’t recommend this property enough. Host was also very responsive.
