About this property

3 BR Charming Cottage in Fairhope, steps from downtown and the Mobile Bay

This recently renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage is located in the heart of beautiful Fairhope, in the sought after Fruit and Nut District. The 1,695 sq ft cottage is within walking distance of the Mobile Bay and Fairhope Pier, as well as restaurants, shops, antique galleries and other attractions in Downtown Fairhope. The house sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a wooded, spacious lot. Upon entering the cottage from the charming front porch, you walk through the dining room to an open floor plan which features the main living area, kitchen and sun-room. The main living area has all new furnishings and provides a comfortable place to enjoy time with family and friends. Adjacent to the living area is a galley kitchen (updated June 2022 with marble countertops) and is fully equipped for all cooking needs with stainless steel appliances and a dishwasher. A split-brick floored sun-room, also next to the main living area, provides guests with an additional place to relax, read or drink their morning coffee. The house has 3 bedrooms (1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twins) and 2 full bathrooms and comfortably sleeps up to 6 people. Both bathrooms were completely renovated in 2020. The master features a large, walk-in shower and the guest bathroom has a deep, soaking tub. The fully fenced-in cottage also has cable, WiFi, a full laundry room and a covered carport. The cottage is smoke-free and allows small pets with a refundable deposit.

Whether visiting family or friends, experiencing Mardi Gras, or enjoying the picturesque lifestyle of our scenic Bay town - we welcome you to enjoy everything Fairhope has to offer.

Winter Getaway
The location and offerings of this cottage are perfect for us and our pup. We can walk anywhere along the bay or into town and Findlay can enjoy the rest of her day watching squirrels in the fenced back yard. Rebecca is always helpful and fast to respond whenever we have a question. Really grateful to be able to spend a few months here each year.

Winter in Fairhope
We immediately felt at home in this little house. The location is perfect as we were just blocks from the pier and downtown. Our pup was in heaven as she watched the wildlife in the fenced backyard. Rebecca is an absolute gem. She was quick to respond to booking request, date changes, and questions. All in all, we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more and look forward to returning.

Perfect home for a family
We had a lovely stay at this home. The location is unmatched for families who want proximity to the bay and downtown. Both were walkable with a stroller and child on a scooter. Plus, the cul de sac was great for young children on bikes. The house was well equipped and had nice, modern finishes in kitchen and bathrooms.

Nice cozy cottage in Fairhope
We stayed an enjoyable month in November. Property is in a perfect location to enjoy the bay and the downtown by short walks. Friendly neighbors. Very safe neighborhood, quiet and relaxing.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Strell Roberts

Host profile image
Owners William and Vickie Strell split their time between Murrells Inlet, South Carolina and Fairhope, Alabama. The couple has been married for 44 years and have two children and two grandchildren. They love to travel and have been all over the world, but are proud to say one of their favorite destinations is charming Fairhope, Alabama.

Why they chose this property

The Strells purchased The Deferriet Cottage in 2017 to be closer to their two young grandchildren. They spent six months renovating the cottage from the ground up. William and Vickie loved how quiet and serene the property is while also being within walking distance of both the Mobile Bay and downtown Fairhope shops and restaurants.
