My husband and I were visiting our son and his family that had moved to Fairhope last summer. We enjoyed our stay and it was located in a very relaxed country surrounding. The home was beautifully decorated and had we had everything we needed for our stay. Our grandchildren spent the night at the house and we put together one of the 500 piece puzzles that was in the supply of games. I would highly recommend this location for anyone visiting Fairhope, Alabama! Hopefully, we will be able to visit again soon and we will definitely choose this location for our stay. Thank you for making it special!

Perfect little property

This property, in a rural setting, was one of the most well-kept and well-appointed VRBOs I have had the pleasure to visit. Coffee, tea, spices, kitchen equipment, whatever - anything we wanted for our brief stay, it was right there. If the location is for you, then I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

Family vacation and baseball trip.

We chose this property because it was located strategically between the beach and the park where we were playing ball. It did not disappoint. It was immaculately clean, well decorated and completely furnished with everything our family needed. We loved the country charm but we were still very close to everything that we came to do. I can’t say enough good things about this property! Would definitely stay here again.

I highly recommend this property! It was clean, comfortable, well-decorated, and had a ton of amenities, such as a nice welcome basket upon arrival, toiletries, and beach gear. It was like staying at a friend’s house, and Niki was extremely responsive. She goes above and beyond as a host. I would absolutely stay at her place again.

Perfect, convenient and easy

This home was a lovely place to rest between family engagements for a wedding. Everything is provided you could want, even some niceties like snacks and wine which we did not need but still nice to have. The only negative was the decorative towels had soured I am sure from being wet and not washed promptly by guests. I just swapped them out for the fluffy green towels in the linen closet. If I ever need to stay in Fairhope again I will definitely call for this comfortable home which is perfect for a family or couple, close & convenient to everything and easy to navigate.

Stayed the month of Feb 2024. Place was very cute and clean. Large fenced in back yard for the dog worked out well. The area is very picturesque with numerous horse farms. Easy drive to the beach in Fairhope as well as the Gulf Shores beaches.

We came for a family wedding. Worried about the 1 bathroom, but it worked out. The low voltage wire to the OTA antenna was cut, but I spliced it (needs wire nuts). We're coming back in March for a sister's wedding. Reserved in my wife's name.

Excellent Property

This property is a bit further away from the fairhope shops as others I have rented. But, it is well worth the extra drive. We found this house so magical it is exactly as advertised. We sat on the front porch and had our morning coffee watch the horses. Very quiet, the house itself was immaculately clean everything we needed. The refrigerator had condiments there was coffee there was a bottle of complementary wine and snacks. The bathroom had everything we needed as far as toiletries. . It was far superior to many of the VRBO properties have stayed at in the past. It is quiet and quaint, and very close to great restaurants like the wash house in the grand hotel. I highly recommend this property.
