Palmetto Cottage is a quintessential Fairhope cottage located close to downtown Fairhope. This nearly 100 year old house has been fully renovated and filled with charm and character. Named one of Southern Living's best small towns, Fairhope has plentiful shopping, great restaurants and fun night life within a short walk. The Fairhope pier is a short distance away where you can enjoy the beautiful sunsets over Mobile Bay or stroll along the beach.

The cottage has a full kitchen with Keurig coffee maker and microwave, washer and dryer and a cute covered porch on which to relax. There are two bedrooms, each has a queen size bed, and shared hall bath with large shower (no tub). We provide an initial supply of coffee, creamer, sugar, toiletries and laundry detergent for few days. Folding beach chairs and beach towels are available for guest use.

Please know that since this cottage is almost a 100 years old it has small hallways and doors.

Driveway is tight so no trailers or campers are allowed.

***Now available to rent!!! Palmetto Carriage House, which is a separate rental located behind Palmetto Cottage on the same property, is an open concept studio apartment with a king size bed, living room, full bath and efficiency kitchen. The carriage house has a private entrance and secluded back porch. Perfect if you need space for a few extra guest but still private enough to feel secluded. The Carriage House is a separate rental and not available to use unless a separate rental is booked.

    Easy to park. Host was very responsive to requests. Good location relative to groceries and downtown. The laundry area was set up well. Price point was good.

    The property was just as described online. Very clean, great communication with the owner for all of my questions, clear instructions for checking in, rules and checking out. The property is an excellent location, nice neighborhood and very close to downtown Fairhope. We so enjoyed our stay there and would highly recommended it to others.

    We always have a great time Fairhope. Everyone is always nice at the shops and restaurants. The VRBO is walking distance to everything, has plenty of room and very clean.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our recent extended stay at Palmetto Cottage in Fairhope at felt right at home from the moment we arrived. This cottage has been historically preserved, but has also received many tasteful updates by the owners, who live locally and are readily available for any questions. The location provides for easy access for walking to the downtown shops and restaurants, as well as the Bayfront. Don't forget to read the information notebook provided by the owners-so much good information about the house and things to do in Lower Alabama. Highest recommendations for staying at Palmetto Cottage!

    I spent a month in this beautiful home. It truly became home away from home! I loved the location and rode my bike or walked to town all of the time! It was clean and functional and had everything I needed. The front porch was perfect for rainy days and jogging to the bay in the mornings was a highlight of the trip. So thankful for my time in beautiful Fairhope!
