This is an idyllic gem featuring one bedroom, one oversized living room, full kitchen and full bath. Direct access to a covered patio and an adjacent laundry room. If i could give it 10 stars, i would. Thank you Tessie for allowing us access to your beautiful property.

A wonderful stay. Farm fields all around and very close to beautiful downtown Fairhope. The owner Tessie was so nice and accommodating. Will be back.

The bungalow was comfortable, clean and the kitchen was fairly well equipped.

Tessie was a great hostess. The cottage is in a lovely country setting. Had everything we needed to be comfortable and kitchen was well supplied. Laundry also very convenient. Do be aware there is no Wi-Fi. That information is in the VRBO listing and it was my fault for missing that. We enjoyed our stay and Fairhope is a great little town to see!

The one thing I love the most about this place is how peaceful and tranquil it is. Tessie is so easy to talk to. I never have any issues and I always look forward to staying here.

We enjoyed our stay at (Villa Piccolo) so nice and such Italian feel. We loved it and looking forward to go back to the same place next vacation. Tessie is the perfect host, Thank you for your hospitality. T & J

If you're looking for a place to relax this is definitely the place to be. I loved sitting out on the large, covered porch. It had a small table and a swing. The inside was quaint and extremely clean. Although somewhat secluded it was only a short drive to the downtown area. The host lives next door but did not intrude on us at all. We had to invite her to sit down with us and tell her the history of the place. My husband and I have already decided to come back to the same place next year. We loved it!

Tessie was friendly & her property is beautiful the location is peaceful not far from attractions but not too close to all of the noise it was perfect

Great place to stay

We are repeat customers. Tessie is an excellent hostess and we need nothing during our stays. We are so happy to have found this gem.

Tessie is a wonderful host and we always enjoy our stays with her. Both places we have stayed at are always very clean and immaculate.

The Guest House was a wonderful surprise, set in the country near everything. The house was beautifully decorated, it was so clean, comfortable and relaxing. The outside pergolas, swings and gardens were beautiful. Our host Tessie, was so nice and made us feel right at home. This was by far, the best cottage we have stayed at. I highly recommend Tessie's Rentals. We hope to go back one day. Thank you for letting us stay in your Guest House Tessie. Gwyn & Bryan Murphy from Maryland

My Husband and I came to celebrate our birthdays. Tessie and her beautiful home went way above our expectations. The one bedroom we rented was decorated so beautifully and the gradens and sitting area was perfect. I so loved sitting in the swing and watching the birds, as I drank my coffee each morning. I think my husband best described it as being on vacation but being able to sleep in your own bed!! We were blown away with the hospitality of the owner and staff. It was perfect and we will be back with other family members.

Beautiful country setting with a great host.

I love staying here. We are older adults that like cleanliness and convenience. Everything is right here, quiet and relatively close to Fairhope. Host is spectacular!

Awesome! Great getaway from the usual busy vacations. Perfect rustic setting, charming cottage, and Ms Tessi the owner made us feel right at home.

Great property at a good price. The location had everything we needed and the property was just the right size for a couple.

Tessie's Guest House has been the perfect place for me to make my temporary home. I am building a house nearby and needed a place to stay between the time I sold my Tennessee home and the time my new home was completed. A planned two month stay turned to three before I left Tennessee and has now become four. Tessie has been very understanding and accommodating through the reservation changes. During my entire stay, the Guest House has felt cozy and welcoming - comfy bed and cozy living room and everything I needed in the kitchen. Having the washer and dryer available just across the breezeway has been a real blessing - most of my clothes are in storage in Tennessee. The outdoor space is lovely and I'm excited to be using it more since the heat and humidity of summer are turning into cooler fall days. It is just a short drive to reach my family in nearby towns and to see the sights or shop in Fairhope, Daphne and Spanish Fort.

The property is in a perfect location. The owner is fantastic and very helpful! Very clean. Amazing setup. We had a wonderful time!

This property was perfect for us. It is located is a rural setting and not in the middle of the commercialized tourist rat race. It is an easy drive to Fairhope and all it has to offer. There are multiple dwellings on the property which would accommodate multiple families or friends for a get together.

We had everything we needed except Internet. The minor glitches were fixed ASAP. Tessie is a wonderful hostess 😊

Loved our stay at Tessie’s cottage. She is an amazing hostess, and her property is gorgeous! Tessie makes you feel right at home, provides you with lots of information on local attractions and restaurants. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend it!

Good stay. Could use updating on furnishing and decorating but very adequate. TV limited.
