About this house rental
Palmetto Cottage is a quintessential Fairhope cottage located close to downtown Fairhope. This nearly 100 year old house has been fully renovated and filled with charm and character. Named one of Southern Living's best small towns, Fairhope has plentiful shopping, great restaurants and fun night life within a short walk. The Fairhope pier is a short distance away where you can enjoy the beautiful sunsets over Mobile Bay or stroll along the beach.
The cottage has a full kitchen with Keurig coffee maker and microwave, washer and dryer and a cute covered porch on which to relax. There are two bedrooms, one queen and one full bed, and shared hall bath with large shower (no tub). We provide an initial supply of coffee, creamer, sugar, toiletries and laundry detergent for few days. Folding beach chairs and beach towels are available for guest use.
Please know that since this cottage is almost a 100 years old it has small hallways and doors.
Driveway is tight so no trailers or campers are allowed.
***Now available to rent!!! Palmetto Carriage House, which is a separate rental located behind Palmetto Cottage on the same property, is an open concept studio apartment with a king size bed, living room, full bath and efficiency kitchen. The carriage house has a private entrance and secluded back porch. Perfect if you need space for a few extra guest but still private enough to feel secluded. The Carriage House is a separate rental and not available to use unless a separate rental is booked.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent extended stay at Palmetto Cottage in Fairhope at felt right at home from the moment we arrived. This cottage has been historically preserved, but has also received many tasteful updates by the owners, who live locally and are readily available for any questions. The location provides for easy access for walking to the downtown shops and restaurants, as well as the Bayfront. Don't forget to read the information notebook provided by the owners-so much good information about the house and things to do in Lower Alabama. Highest recommendations for staying at Palmetto Cottage!

I spent a month in this beautiful home. It truly became home away from home! I loved the location and rode my bike or walked to town all of the time! It was clean and functional and had everything I needed. The front porch was perfect for rainy days and jogging to the bay in the mornings was a highlight of the trip. So thankful for my time in beautiful Fairhope!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Palmetto Cottage…don’t think you could do better. Ample room with 2 bedrooms, very comfortable beds, an outside porch that lets the breeze in. We had to tear ourselves away from it. Summer had the cottage extremely well stocked!!! And, of course shopping and eating in Fairhope is always great. We didn’t have long enough, so may have to return later this year.
Thank you Summer and Bo❣️
Have a great summer..

Cute Bungalow
This bungalow was perfectly located within walking distance to downtown Fairhope. Summer was a lovely host and made check in/check out easy .The beds were very comfortable with quality linens. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a meal. Beach towels were provided, though we had our own, it was a nice amenity. For two girlfriends get a way this home was perfect and we would love to return.
