Welcome to Fairhope! Come stay and relax in this charming, quaint original bay cottage located near the heart of town. It was originally built in the early 1900’s and still retains much of its original, historical, quirky character. The home is located near the heart of town, within walking distance to local restaurants and entertainment hotspots. This home serves as a perfect spot for enjoying all that downtown Fairhope has to offer.

This house is a historic, original Fairhope bay cottage. Built in the early 1900s, this home was originally situated on a golf course that provided entertainment to the summer goers from Mobile, AL, who spent their summers vacationing in their bay houses in Fairhope (formerly known as Alabama Town).

This charming, quaint cottage contains two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room space, a work/office space, a small kitchen and dining area, an enclosed porch (perfect for keeping bikes), a laundry area, and ample-sized front yard and back yard.

    Courtney is a very welcoming host who helped with recommendations. The cottage was a perfect weekend getaway for a couple. Very clean, well kept, and close to everything while being tucked away a bit. Would stay here again if in the area.

    It was a cute, very well decorated cottage. The only thing lacking was in the bathroom. It was very small, with limited space for toiletries, etc. The tub/ shower situation required you step approximately 2 feet up and over into the claw foot tub. For anyone with balance or hip issues, it would be good to know that before booking. We were pleased with everything else.

    As a lover of old homes, we loved this cottage. It was so clean and decorated so tastefully. It had everything we needed. Although our initial thought was to cook and eat at the cottage, it was so convenient to downtown that we ate every meal out Courtney is definitely a super host and replied to our messages very promptly! This is where we will stay every time we come to Fairhope. It was fantastic!

    Historic cottage was very nice. Comfortable with plenty of room. Smallish bathroom with a clawfoot tub. Shower head is a bit low. Easy walk to downtown. Bring your own coffee/pods or tea. Host communicated clearly and well.

    Small bathroom and shower but it worked. It’s an old house so we expected it. Great location.

    This sweet cottage offers many lovely details - beautiful art on the walls, soft blankets, lots of pillows, comfortable furniture, and more. The cottagecore style made us feel right at home, as soon as we arrived, which was much appreciated after a long day of traveling (due to many flight delays). The host gave us all the information about wi-fi, TV, and more before we got there, and she responded immediately to our questions throughout our stay. She was an absolute pleasure. Since I had to work during this trip, I especially enjoyed the large desk, which provided me plenty of space for my papers, books, laptop, and zoom meetings. The neighborhood is quiet and felt very safe, and there is off-street parking. It was perfect, and I hope to return.

    I flew my mom to Birmingham and decided to take her down to Fairhope for a girls trip. The house is so clean and cute and was right up the street from downtown fairhope. The owner is very nice and was very helpful if i had any questions during our stay.ourthroughouttriptrip.ldefinitel
