About this property

*Cottage in the center of Downtown Fairhope*

Quaint cottage with one parking space in the center of downtown Fairhope beside Gene's Beans Ice Cream & Coffee and across from Dragonfly restaurant. Walk to the coffee shops, the bars, the restaurants or the grocery store. The house is set up as a studio so queen bed, sleeper sofa and kitchen are in one room. The carriage house rental is allowed one parking space (the driveway holds two cars but the driveway is a shared space.) The cottage is equipped with washer/dryer, refrigerator, microwave, and stove with oven. The house does not have a dishwasher or cable but hopefully it won’t be an issue because you will be in the perfect location beside some of the best restaurants and activities in town. The TV shown in the pictures is a smart TV so you will be able to log in to your Netflix or Amazon account if you have one.
A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free guesthouse features books, games, and hiking/biking trails nearby. Recreational activities include kayaking nearby and sailing nearby.

Fair Hope Carriage House
The place looks cute and quaint on the outside but the inside was filthy and dated. The owner, however, was very nice.

Wonderful stay
My wife and stayed here for a long weekend. Wonderful place right in the middle of everything. Close enough to walk everywhere. There is enough room for several people to stay with a queen bed, two bunk beds, and a pull out couch. There is only one bathroom so it may may be small for to many in a group but it was perfect for my wife and I . The description says it is between Mr. Gene's Beans and Dragonfly. However, Dragon is now Cafe Viola.

Awesome location
The location was superior you were right in the middle of town. The little cottage needs some TLC, sofa was stained ,walls, needed to be painted frig was not cleaned, shelves and nightstands were dusty … the place needed a deep cleaning We did enjoy our stay being in the middle of everything! Our neighbors in the ice cream shop and the restaurant were super friendly and both great places to eat

Best location in Fairhope
One, the directions to the property and its exact location were a little confusing. BUT the location was worth it. I would suggest ownership clean that up a little bit. Secondly we had a little issue that I am confident that ownership and management did not know until we brought it to our attention. Within LITTLE TIME, an owner was there to address it and take care of it. THAT is what I want in a short-term rental. Customer service and ATTENTION and they passed that with flying colors!

Fair in Fairhope
The cottage was in a fantastic spot. Very walkable to everything. When the door lock didn't work, the owner was quick to respond and fix the issue. Sheets and towels were clean. The pictures on VRBO no longer represent what the cottage is like currently. There are twin bunkbeds mashed into the living room now. The couch was stained and the unit needs a deep clean and painting. The outside green awning is falling apart. I am thankful that the weather was fantastic and we spent most of our time outdoors. We stayed because of the walkability, but I would not rent again.

Wonderful yet Zero reply from Host
Great town with great people. Little cottage is right amongst the downtown shopping. The photos represent the accommodations. I reached out to the host two separate times and neither time did I receive a reply. No reply when I questioned option to change reservation. And then, after the trip I asked for a receipt and no reply. I can’t imagine what I would’ve done if there would’ve been something that happened during the trip. I was considering staying at this spot once a year but since there’s no communication from the host, I’m not going to follow through on that plan. Will book somewhere else instead. Great town, great shopping.

We were right in the middle of everything. It was so nice to walk out the front door to shopping and dining or just a treat next door with ice cream. Also just a short beautiful walk to the pier. What a perfect place this was.
