If you are lucky, a school of bottle-nose porpoises will pass just off the end of the pier. A place where brown pelicans and seagulls dive for fish and wild ducks glide just out of reach into perfect landings in the small canal that runs alongside the house. Equip yourself with a rod and enjoy some of the best fishing around, or head out with your favorite book as the tide gently laps at the foot of the pilings of the pier. Weeks bay is a treasure of undiscovered natural beauty. The cozy little cabin comes equipped with three bedrooms, two baths and all the amenities needed for good living, including a washer, and dryer. The cabin sleeps up to 7. Strategically located, headquarters is just 15 minutes from downtown Fairhope where you can enjoy shopping the quaint little boutiques; or drive forty minutes south to sun on the beautiful white sands of Gulf Shores. Between excursions on the rivers that feed the small bay, you can tie the boat at the end of the pier; or dock alongside the house in the small channel depending on the tides. For dinner, you can cook fresh seafood ( caught or bought) in the full kitchen, or try one of the many restaurants in whatever direction you happen to drive. Then get up the next day and start all over again. We have baby and toddler items (pack n play, high chair, and toys) available. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Shower/bathtub combination - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: outside only Please ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33500000/33497500/33497478/4411d741.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Labor Day Weekend Open!

We stayed August of 2020 and loved it so wanted to come back and see how it was during another season. It was low tide for the water so fishing and crabbing off the dock wasn't great, but that led us to go out and explore more of Alabama. We found so many beautiful and neat nature spots with water all within 1/2 hour from the place. It was another great stay and we can't wait to return! ##### Carey C.

It was so relaxing. The pier and crab traps gave my family an experience that we don't have in our Midwestern lives. The Cottage is at the right location, a half hour from the Gulf Coast and close to many other locations that are worthy of visiting. While there we had a terrible storm (12 inches of rain and tornadoes). There was some damage outside of the Cottage. We contacted the host and they were great. If we return to this area, we would love to stay at Sunrise Cottage again. ##### Tricia T.

We stay 2 weeks each time and could not ask for a better location or essentials needed. The house is well equipped with everything you need and has been upgraded since our last stay last year. Tawyna the owner is fantastic talking too. There are plenty of crab traps provided to use to catch crab, which we did end up catching along with flounder in the trap too. We seen Daulphins from the house and pier nearly on a daily basis which was beautiful. I can’t thank you enough Tawyna for letting us stay at your house, we will definitely be back next year.

Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem with Beautiful Water View I can't say enough good things about this place. The sunrises and moonrises were incredible. The setting was very private and the neighbors we encountered on our walks were all very friendly. The house was perfect for my family and our little dogs. It felt like the kind of place we used to stay for our childhood vacations. Not fancy, just comfortable. The amenities included everything we needed. I, especially, loved cooking on the gas stove and griddle. One thing to note. The amenities list includes a hot tub and there isn't one. I'm not sure if this was something that used to be there, but it didn't matter. We loved enjoying the view day after day. On warm days, we sat on the dock and enjoyed the birds and the occasional dolphin swimming by. On cooler and rainy days, we just enjoyed the view from the living room. All of us felt renewed from staying here and hated going home. The owner was exceptionally nice and helpful, and we look forward to returning to this wonderful home next year. ##### Katherine B. Stayed 53 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lou A. Nov 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Vacation I gave this rental at Sunrise Cottage a 5 star rating for many reasons. Not because it is a modern, fully updated and a pristine property, but because it afforded everything we needed, we felt comfortable and were able to settle in nicely for 7 nights. The kitchen was fully equipped, for our needs. The cupboards and contents reminded me of camping with my parents. Various miss matched items, but everything that was necessary to get things done, except a bottle opener for pouring from a can, my husband drinks tomato juice like water and we forgot our opener. He figured it out. We were grateful for the large stock pot that we boiled our 42 crabs, caught over 3 separate 12 to 24 hour soaks, using 2 or 3 traps. We caught way more but the smalls were put back. We froze several pounds and they made a safe dry ice trek back home. We highly recommend giving crabbing a try here, it was our first attempt and would return here just for crabbing. We are hooked and I don't even eat it, hubby loves! Watch the tides, we almost killed several in a super low tide that occured early one morning. They survived to be boiled. For bait we used chicken necks, frozen pogy fish and fresh caught small mullet and croakers. The fresh cut up fish worked best! We had little luck fishing, it was mid November which I think had lots to do with our lack of connection. We caught over 200 fish in a prior 7 day vacation so we know how, this just wasn't the time for us. I caught an Atlantic Sting ##### Lou A. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Carol M. Aug 15, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Sunrise Cottage review 7/29-8/7/24 - Weeks Bay This was our second stay at the Weeks Bay Sunrise Cottage. Unfortunately, it will be our last. Although we enjoyed our time on the bay and loved the sunrises and sunsets, we were very disappointed in the property's condition -- which has deteriorated since our last visit 3 years ago. The kitchen was not clean, floors were dirty, and rodent droppings were found in the kitchen and one of the bedrooms . Simple maintenance is needed: The back door did not lock properly (my husband fixed this), the A/C filter was disgusting and we changed this, and my husband screwed down numerous dangerous, loose boards on the dock. The VRBO listing stated there was a hot tub --- there was not. AND on our second day there, while in the middle of cooking for the family, the gas/propane tank ran out of gas. I contacted the owner immediately and she contacted the gas company to come refill the tank, but they did not arrive until the next afternoon. No gas for cooking and no hot showers for nearly two days!! The owner apologized for the inconvenience and refunded some of our money because of this issue. When I spoke with the owner about the accuracy of the listing, she seemed surprised that the hot tub was still listed as one of the amenities. We will look for another house for our next vacation. ##### Carol M. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Leroy E. Jul 17, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Renter beware. We knew when we approached the door that we had made a terrible mistake. The walls were bowed from the walls settling. The steps and deck were patched. The garage looked like it was falling down. The place simply looked like a shack. The lattice around the bottom was mostly caved in and laying on the ground. The good reviews have to be fake. When we entered, we immediately smelled sewer gas. We opened the windows to air it out. We later found that the shower drains were connected directly to the sewer without any traps in them. We inverted bowls over the drains and put bricks on them to stop the gas from entering the place. There were holes in the bottoms of the door frames that rodents or snakes could crawl through. As you enter you see a cracked beam that is the wrong size and design holding the ceiling up. It is installed incorrectly which is making it fail even more quickly. The furniture is junk. The floors are mostly original wood floors so shoes had to be worn as they are splintering. I had a hammer and pounded in some nails that were working loose. The water lines in the kitchen and one bathroom are reversed. All work done on the place certainly wasn't done by a tradesperson or even a competent handyman. People are renting these dumps out on VRBO and the renter has little recourse. Quick money is made until reviews catch up or authorities step in which is unlikely. The good reviews must be fake.
