Accommodating Beyond Expectations

We had the best experience with our stay! Betsy is the epitome of a great host!!! Anything you need if she doesn't already provide it she'll help you figure out how to get it. Her home is as warm and welcoming as she is...couldn't ask for a better place or host.

We had a wonderful family getaway for a long weekend at this property. We had so much space for the 5 of us. Beautifully decorated and everything you need in a rental. Our kids didn’t want to leave the house on our last day. We look forward to coming back to stay!!

Fun in the Fruits & Nuts

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.

Perfect place for our annual girl trip

The house was very clean and exactly as described. The porches were so perfect for playing games, sitting and talking or just relaxing. If I could give a 6 for “communication with property owner” , I would. We had no problems but Betsymade it more than clear that she was available if we needed anything.

About the host

Hosted by Betsy

Host profile image
I love the beach, the slopes, and my hometown of New Orleans. My family and I live in Atlanta, which is where we call home, but of every place on earth, Fairhope is my favorite!

Why they chose this property

Fairhope has always been a special place for me and my family. I grew up going to camp on Mobile Bay and always wanted to own a piece of this heavenly and magical place that I always referred to as "my favorite place in the world."

What makes this property unique

This home is unique because it was renovated as a coastal bay house. It is in the most charming and one-of-a-kind neighborhoods in Fairhope and on one of the quietest streets. The screened-in porches are my favorite place to relax other than walking to the bay daily to watch the sunsets, which are like no other in the world.
