Great beach vacation spot

We loved the home and location, and we would definitely stay again! The property is well maintained and had great information for "out-of-towners." We got to walk along the bay, visit the town, and Gulf Shores is only 50 minutes away. Would highly recommend!

We had a great stay at the Scenic House! We had a group of 9 people - 2 families with some adult children and teens. The game room was perfect for the young people and all the living space was plentiful. The kitchen was well-stocked and we loved the porch and the fenced-in yard. Would love to stay again!

Awesome house that was obviously just remodeled.

Great for extended family

Our family came from CA & TX for a wedding at the Grand Hotel. This was a great property for our toddler grandchildren and our preteen niece. They had plenty of safe and secure play areas with the fenced backyard, the gazebo and large covered porch. The inside rooms were large enough for additional family to join us for lunch and dinner. The property was very clean and well maintained and nicely decorated.

College buddies annual gathering

We are a bunch of college buddies C'82 who gather every year around this time. We need lots of bedrooms because we are not couples. Fairhope is great. Wish the house was walkable to town. Very nice house. Kitchen well outfitted. We really enjoyed ourselves. The fenced back yard was great for my dog.

This property was everything and more than we expected!

For a group of 10 Christian women on a retreat the house was great - we even managed two bathrooms just fine. The grounds were beautiful and a sidewalk offered an opportunity to walk the tree lined Scenic highway. The downtown was close and easy to drive to. Restaurants had great food and stores with lots of beautiful items. The house offered a sizable kitchen. It was equipped with lots of extras: espresso machine, Berkey Water Filter, and spices. There were TVs in every room, and plenty of beautiful and spacious sitting areas and large game room. We would definitely return to this property.

Wonderful Experience

The property was beyond our expectations. The first thing we noticed upon arrival was how clean and well taken care of it was inside and out. One thing I noticed was the lack of insects and spiderwebs around the outside areas. There were no signs of bugs anywhere, which is no small feat considering all of the wonderful outdoor areas the property offers. There were so many things the property owners thought of that made the stay so much nicer, such as the water purification system in the kitchen, as well as the espresso maker. Everyone especially loved the game room and fire pit. The location is wonderful, too. I can't say enough! The only negative thing we encountered was the tv streaming service. We had some issues logging in, but it didn't cause enough problems to ask the manager. If we had asked, I know it would have been quickly rectified. We were too busy enjoying everything else! We would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Molly Clarke

Host profile image
Two generations of family have put love and care into this wonderful 1945 home. Our family has lived in Fairhope for three decades and after outgrowing and selling our family home in Fairhope Proper, it didn't take long to realize that we all desperately missed having a family hub on the Eastern Shore.

Finding and renovating The Scenic House has given our family such excitement and we are so happy share this remarkable town and property with all of our guests. What we enjoy most when we gather at The Scenic House is playing hours of dominos on the back porch- rain or shine. We hope The Scenic House will give you similar fond memories.

Molly is the Property Manager for The Scenic House and will be there to assist with check-in and will help with any issues, questions, rentals, and emergencies. Molly is also a Fairhope native with roots going generations back so she truly knows all of the local secrets.

Why they chose this property

This property is five miles from downtown Fairhope, one mile from The Grand Hotel, 45min from Gulf Shores, and has tons of privacy and an enormous fenced in backyard that your kids and/or pets will love to wear themselves out in. With Bays, Gulfs, Rivers, and Greenways abounding, there are endless ways to spend your days and plenty of activities to entertain outdoors. Downtown Fairhope has top notch boutique shopping and nearby Foley has a large outlet mall. Enjoy watching the sunset at the famous Fairhope Pier and see why people who visit always want to come back.

What makes this property unique

Outdoor living at The Scenic House is truly something special but what truly takes the cake is the sunroom. A room filled with games, puzzles, a pingpong/pool table, a poker table, a legit Pacman, books, dvds, and windows that pour in sunshine! The location is perfect for the group who wants to be near everything but also has a space that feels like their own sanctuary.
