About this property

Historic Fairhope Bay Cottage

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.

Great location and lovely cottage

We were on a girlfriend’s trip. The cottage was just right for the two of us. Very clean and comfortable. Great location, less than a mile from the town center.

Beautiful Place and Perfect Location!

First of all, this was the perfect place for us! Courtney is an excellent hostess who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. This cute little historic house is definitely one of my top 3 of all my VRBO rentals! I highly recommend this place!

Comfortable, quiet, cottagecore with beautiful details

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.
