Covered Pier Feb 2025
The Property Mgr ,Beth Ann, was always available on short notice to stop in or answer our questions. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the utensils that were needed.The house and bedding were very clean. The gated deck was great for having a dog. Fantastic sunsets and you could see barge traffic in the distance on Mobile Bay. Check out Madi Gra dates next year as a parade went right by the house...so much fun. Fairhope has so many shops and restaurants, many are dog friendly, along with a nice shaded dog park. Definitely can spend 2 weeks in this quaint town without having to go to Gulf Shores...Nice farmers market in Foley on Sat mornings and fresh shrimp right off the boats in Bon Soucor.

Brief Bay Getaway
My husband and I drove over from Biloxi for a quick birthday trip. The cottage was absolutely perfect for us. My husband loves the water and the views are unmatched. We didn’t utilize much of it, but the house seemed stocked with what ever you could need from toiletries, towels, to cooking ware. We watched the sunset from the dock while my husband cast his fishing pole. It was a picturesque birthday evening for him. We will definitely be booking again.

Bay house
We enjoyed our stay! charming little bay house. Our stay would have been much better though if the owners would have upgraded a few things!! The ice maker was not working, The tub drain not working, grass was knee deep and needed cutting therefore I stepped in an ant bed because I couldn’t see it while taking my dog out. , kitchen pots and pans need upgrading, grills were rusted iver and unusable.

Disappointing
Couldn’t go on pier due to unevenness. Couldn’t walk out to covered area on end of pier. Muddy water sitting under house and standing water along driveway. Was afraid I’d get stuck turning car around. Hit head on side of house while trying not to step in mud. No comfortable place to sit on outside deck. House was very old and creepy to me. Drove 7 hours back home next day. Stayed at hotel. Overnight

Quiet Retreat on Mobile Bay
My husband and I found this property to be aptly named, the Charming Bayfront Getaway. We are from Wisconsin and a vacation in balmy Fairhope was exactly what we needed to thaw out! The cottage is ideal and we were able to bring our two small dogs. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the utensils needed to cook just about any meal. The internet was fast. The boat house at the end of the pier was a perfect spot for morning meditation. We even saw a pod of dolphins swim past! I can definitely recommend this lovely cottage!

Wonderful stay on the bay!
We really enjoyed our stay, thank you to Beth! The house was in great shape and our kids really enjoyed the dock. It was great having a gate on the fenced in dock for added piece of mind with young kids. We’ll be back!

Great little place a few minutes south of Fairhope. The long pier lets you see a nice sunrise and the sunsets are spectacular over the bay. Well stocked with all the basics. Very clean and comfortable. Easy communications with the owner.

Great stay
Great place to stay! I was visiting family for the 4th so I didn’t spend too much time at the rental. The beds were more comfortable than most rental properties. Strong AC which is important for the summer time in Alabama. Would be nice if they added curtains, especially in the bedrooms since the windows face East and the room gets very bright as soon as the sun comes up.

The house is charming. Kitchen is very well equipped. Comfortable bed. Property manager was so helpful. Made a special trip to house on Sunday afternoon to get TV working. Unfortunately it was cloudy and very windy so we couldn’t enjoy the deck and outside area which was part of the appeal.
