Wonderful Getaway
Our little family enjoyed our stay so much. The cottage has two cozy porches, that are so relaxing! The host was helpful and available every step of the way. The house was clean and ready for us. We opted to rent a golf cart for the stay. We did not have to get in the car the entire time. We loved Fairhope & the location of this home.
