About this property

Fairhope 3BR house. 4min to Grand Hotel, 7min to Dwntown Fhope, 42min to Gulf

What makes this property special. The reasons are; the owners do not live on or adjacent to the property, location, beds, TV area, very fast WiFi.
Firstly, I would say around 80% of short term rentals rentals have the owners who live on the property or right next to it. We are neither. You dont have to feel like you are being watched over.
Location! The cottage is just mintues from Downtown Fairhope and the Grand Hotel, but you feel like you are in the country. Big backyard, large privacy fences on both sides. Behind the cottage is a horse field, there is an empty lot to the East of us, and the lot on the other side is a nice couple. Across the street is a wooded area that is part of the Point Clear Tennis Club and Char 32 restaurant.
I love a good TV watching area! The cottage has this. Nice couch, Dish Network, and enough seating for the family. Alot of rentals have TV mounted up high on the wall. Our TV is mounted on the wall at eye level, so you are not straining your neck just to watch a show. After a long day of playing, it nice to come back and watch a good show or movie. The cottage has powerful interent, so if you stream your favorite show, there is no buffering.
An important part of the VRBO experience is the beds. The cottage has king size beds in two of the rooms; and they are very comfortable.
And Lastly, fast WiFi. The cottage has extremely fast Wifi- around
400mpbs!

After that long day of playing hard, if you dont want to go out to eat, the kitchen has everything you need. All of the essentials. Even a gas range.


Coffee and creamer provided.

New washer and gas dryer recently added (Oct 2022). This comes in handy for our long term guests.

Are you in town for a wedding or event and have 5 people needing a shower to get ready? The cottage has a new oversized gas water heater to provide plenty of hot water(cold showers are the worst).

Great internet speeds. I have tested different carriers, and have found the best one for this property. The internet has plenty of power and speed.

The Grand hotel is 4min away! The Gulf is only 42min. Downtown Fairhope is a 7min.
Lets just get this out of the way..cleanliness. This is what is on everyones mind, with good reason. We have high expectations to provide our guests a clean place to stay. Along with washing the regular stuff like sheets and towels, we wash bedspreads and blankets. We also sanitize all surfaces multiple times.

A house that sleeps 5 is the magic number. Not to big or too small... Just what the average family needs. Large kitchen table to fit the whole family.

This modest house was built in the early 80's. It is nestled in a neighborhood of grand estates and small houses.

Fine dinning restaurant, Char 32, is within walking distance across the street in the Point Clear Tennis Club. One of my favorite things is to get at Char 32 is their beef tip appetizer and bring it back to the cottage....it is so good.

Brand new Publix grocery store is less than five minutes away. No stop lights on the way to Publix(as you can see, I am not a fan of stop lights). This is one of the nicest Publix I have been in.

Clean, comfortable, charming
This is a great place to stay. The host is the best we’ve ever had - great communication, very responsive. The house is very clean, and it is well stocked. Our young grandchildren stayed one night with us, and they were entertained. It was easy to have a 2 1/2 year old there. The area is beautiful. We had a lovely stay.

Long weekend stay
Our family had a wonderful visit to this property! The cottage was well supplied and had everything we needed for a family of 5 with older children. The hosts were welcoming and we felt confident had we needed any assistance that they would have been available and accommodating. Finally, the cottage was conveniently located to Fairhope which was a big bonus for our quick trip!

Quiet & relaxing!
This little cottage was the best! Very spacious, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms & all the small touches were just wonderful. Absolutely loved drinking my coffee on the screened in porch. Welcome packet w/ instructions were quite helpful. Location was perfect for visiting our family that lives just a few miles from this sweet retreat. Will def book again in the future.

Charming cottage in a perfect location
This was a very charming cottage right in the middle of everything we needed during our stay in Fairhope. Michael, our host, was beyond friendly and we felt very welcomed as he messaged us the morning before our stay to ensure all was in order and to answer any questions. When we arrived, we had personalized water bottles and snacks prepared for us, all in all, I truly appreciate these personal touches. Just under a mile away is an amazing walking trail along Mobile Bay where you can not only see beautiful views, but witness true Southern culture on the boardwalk. This was a great getaway and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Michael!

Wedding/Mini Vacation
We visited the area for a wedding and decided to make it a mini vacation over the long weekend. The cottage was exactly what we needed, was very comfortable and clean and the property manager was super attentive. I appreciated the labels on the light switches and the printed info on the house and area. It was close to a very nice Publix and the Bay. Definitely will stay here the next time we are in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Brenny

Host profile image
I am an experienced VRBO host ..who loves what I am doing. Its fun trying to provide the best customer experience possible.


My two goals:To provide an 5 star experience for our guests..I want our guests to feel like they are staying at a professional run establishment. The second is to learn and constantly evolve to provide a better guest experience.

My wife and I have lived in Fairhope for almost all of our lives. We know the area real well. Anything from beaches, shopping, restaurants, hiking, boating, fishing, site seeing, etc., we can provide recommendations.

I have the personalty where I like helping people. During your stay, if you need anything or have any questions, please never feel like you are bothering me. I have done close to 600 short term rental stays(the highest in this area) and I cannot think of one experience where I felt bothered by a guest...I am pretty much always happy to help.

Why they chose this property

The value you are getting for your money is real good. Sleeps 5 people. This place is all yours. Great back porch and large screened in area overlooking a horse pasture.

At night sitting on the back porch, with the patio lights off, it is pitch black dark..great for star gazing. Even though you are only 7 minutes from downtown Fairhope, it feels like you are miles out in the country.

What makes this property unique

This is a modest house that was built in the early 80's. Some parts have been renovated, like the kitchen counters, but other parts are original, like the flooring. 1200 sq feet
Exactly one mile from the cottage is a public bay access point that starts a great walking trail that goes along the bay. Char 32 fine dinning restaurant is directly across the street within walking distance.
