Fairhope Cottage Living   

The quaint City of Fairhope, Alabama located on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay offers a Gulf Coast lifestyle that harkens to a simpler time when leisure was a practiced art, and when "less" was "more." Family and friends were central to daily life. You can affordably indulge in the extraordinary experience offered by 1930's era cottage living in Fairhope for a month or a season!

Two charming cottages located in the downtown area offer both the ambience enjoyed by Fairhope's founders a century ago and the convenience of downtown shops, restaurants, museums and parks within a casual stroll.
