Our family spent the long weekend attending a wedding and could not be happier with the cottage we chose for our stay. Welcoming, comfy, well equipped, perfect location are some of the comments I hear during our stay. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We will stay again!!  Thank you for sharing your home.

Awesome retreat

We had a blast the week of the 4th. So much to do and see. Loved the pier and fishing. The house was perfect for 10 in the family. The screened porch with a swing was ideal. We will rent this property again. 

Family Fun

We loved our stay at this property in Fairhope.  It was excellent!  Very clean, great linens, and host was responsive.  The porch was awesome!  We plan to stay here again!
