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!

Cutest Cottage
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.

Perfect Location for a Fairhope Jaunt!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this beyond charming 1920's cottage. Summer and Bo have updated this home with every modern convenience and retained all of it's character and charm. We stayed on a Saturday - Tuesday of Mardi Gras week. The house is located about 0.6 m from downtown Fairhope. A lovely walk (you will be walking up rolling hills on the return just imagine you adjusted your treadmill). We walked down to the Mardi Gras parade on Monday evening and found we were able to stand right by the barricade and the crowd was minimal. The main crowd was on the main street. The corner by the Library was perfect. Everyone loaded up tote bags with loot tossed from the floats. The house itself was perfect. The lovely front porch accessed only from the bedroom was perfect for morning coffee. The street is a busy one but the house is set well back from the street so noise is not an issue. All the floors are tiled so if you have allergy issues this is a plus. Gas stove was fabulous. Ground floor with no steps anywhere if you enter from the rear. Perfect spot for a couple or small family. Our college kid came over from Mobile with a friend and we had plenty of room! Can't wait to return when the owners finish the garage remodel allowing for extra people! Wonderful to stay at a home that had a record player with Johnny Cash AND David Bowie!
