Nice home well built good location
The home is nice. Bring your own pillow, your shampoo, and some mosquito spray. You will need laundry detergent and condiments because they don't leave anything in there. Hopefully they will replace the shower head like I recommended.

Long weekend
Overall I was very happy with my stay and property. The bathrooms could use some updating and the shower curtains had a little mold/mildew. Other than that the property was great and we enjoyed our stay.

Master Room
We checked in at 4pm. I noticed the master bedroom sheet had what looked like blood stains all over it. I called and let the property manager know and they said they would send new ones the next day. That is completely ridiculous not to take care of that immediately. I also noticed there was no blanket for the master bed and two of the 4 pillows had no pillow case. I would never let this company list another property if I were in charge. When they finally brought all the things missing or stained, they just threw the bag with all of these items in them on the porch and left.

Comfortable cottage - Old Point Clear Chic
We loved our stay at the cottage. Comfortable open living room-kitchen combo allowed us lots of time to reminisce about life, love and adulting since our college days. Accessible to everything in Fairhope but conducive to time spent just being together!

Easy stay, easy location, private.
Well appointed with everything we needed. A little bit worn but worth the reasonable price. We would rent again.

Quaint but outdated
The place is quaint but outdated and not well maintained. Very quiet location except when the rooster next door wanted everyone to wake up.

Adequate but not great.
The location was convenient to most things we wanted to do. The beds were comfortable. The furniture could use a good cleaning. More pieces of flatware really are needed so you don’t have to wash every time a spoon is needed. The can opener didn’t seem to work properly so that needs to be replaced. And I would recommend new towel bars in the bathrooms. The ones there are not attached to the wall firmly and they come apart.

Very nice but needs updating
We have family in the area, and rented this house when visiting over the Christmas holiday. Overall, a very nice property in a nice area. The house was clean and well furnished. The layout was great and perfectly suited our needs. We felt very comfortable during our stay, But. the kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures are in desperate need of update and there are many minor repairs needed throughout the house. None of this prevented us from enjoying our stay and we would consider staying here again.
