Start the day perched from a vantage that can yield a spectacular sunrise. If you are lucky, a school of bottle-nose porpoises will pass just off the end of the pier. A place where brown pelicans and seagulls dive for fish and wild ducks glide just out of reach into perfect landings in the small canal that runs alongside the house. Equip yourself with a rod and enjoy some of the best fishing around, or head out with your favorite book as the tide gently laps at the foot of the pilings of the pier. Weeks bay is a treasure of undiscovered natural beauty. The cozy little cabin comes equipped with three bedrooms, two baths and all the amenities needed for good living, including a washer, and dryer. The cabin sleeps up to 7. Strategically located, headquarters is just 15 minutes from downtown Fairhope where you can enjoy shopping the quaint little boutiques; or drive forty minutes south to sun on the beautiful white sands of Gulf Shores. Between excursions on the rivers that feed the small bay, you can tie the boat at the end of the pier; or dock alongside the house in the small channel depending on the tides. For dinner, you can cook fresh seafood ( caught or bought) in the full kitchen, or try one of the many restaurants in whatever direction you happen to drive. Then get up the next day and start all over again. We have baby and toddler items (pack n play, high chair, and toys) available.

Sunrise Cottage review 7/29-8/7/24 - Weeks Bay
This was our second stay at the Weeks Bay Sunrise Cottage. Unfortunately, it will be our last. Although we enjoyed our time on the bay and loved the sunrises and sunsets, we were very disappointed in the property's condition -- which has deteriorated since our last visit 3 years ago. The kitchen was not clean, floors were dirty, and rodent droppings were found in the kitchen and one of the bedrooms . Simple maintenance is needed: The back door did not lock properly (my husband fixed this), the A/C filter was disgusting and we changed this, and my husband screwed down numerous dangerous, loose boards on the dock. The VRBO listing stated there was a hot tub --- there was not. AND on our second day there, while in the middle of cooking for the family, the gas/propane tank ran out of gas. I contacted the owner immediately and she contacted the gas company to come refill the tank, but they did not arrive until the next afternoon. No gas for cooking and no hot showers for nearly two days!! The owner apologized for the inconvenience and refunded some of our money because of this issue. When I spoke with the owner about the accuracy of the listing, she seemed surprised that the hot tub was still listed as one of the amenities. We will look for another house for our next vacation.

Cozy waterfront cabin
This place was the perfect getaway. Secluded location, but close to several towns with activities ranging from beaches, shopping and wildlife encounters. Everything you could need to cook, clean and entertain your family. My 15 year old was fishing from sunrise to the wee hours of the morning. He caught blue crab, red fish, and a sting ray. Myself and baby enjoyed the provided toys and chasing eachother in the yard. It was nice not having to pack the extras for the baby. Definitely recommend a stay here.

Quiet weekend
Location on the water is great. We were able to catch some fish just sitting on the dock. There is a bait store close by. Short drive to visit downtown Fairhope, Magnolia Springs, & Point Clear with some great restaurants..Sunset Pointe, Big Daddy’s, Panini Pete’s. It certainly could use a little love & renovating. I’d call it a fishing camp.

Renter beware.
We knew when we approached the door that we had made a terrible mistake. The walls were bowed from the walls settling. The steps and deck were patched. The garage looked like it was falling down. The place simply looked like a shack. The lattice around the bottom was mostly caved in and laying on the ground. The good reviews have to be fake. When we entered, we immediately smelled sewer gas. We opened the windows to air it out. We later found that the shower drains were connected directly to the sewer without any traps in them. We inverted bowls over the drains and put bricks on them to stop the gas from entering the place. There were holes in the bottoms of the door frames that rodents or snakes could crawl through. As you enter you see a cracked beam that is the wrong size and design holding the ceiling up. It is installed incorrectly which is making it fail even more quickly. The furniture is junk. The floors are mostly original wood floors so shoes had to be worn as they are splintering. I had a hammer and pounded in some nails that were working loose. The water lines in the kitchen and one bathroom are reversed. All work done on the place certainly wasn't done by a tradesperson or even a competent handyman. People are renting these dumps out on VRBO and the renter has little recourse. Quick money is made until reviews catch up or authorities step in which is unlikely. The good reviews must be fake. There isn't enough room here to begin to list the faults with this place.

Hidden Gem with Beautiful Water View
I can't say enough good things about this place. The sunrises and moonrises were incredible. The setting was very private and the neighbors we encountered on our walks were all very friendly. The house was perfect for my family and our little dogs. It felt like the kind of place we used to stay for our childhood vacations. Not fancy, just comfortable. The amenities included everything we needed. I, especially, loved cooking on the gas stove and griddle. One thing to note. The amenities list includes a hot tub and there isn't one. I'm not sure if this was something that used to be there, but it didn't matter. We loved enjoying the view day after day. On warm days, we sat on the dock and enjoyed the birds and the occasional dolphin swimming by. On cooler and rainy days, we just enjoyed the view from the living room. All of us felt renewed from staying here and hated going home. The owner was exceptionally nice and helpful, and we look forward to returning to this wonderful home next year.

Perfect Location
Secluded and private! House is well appointed, although the master bed needs to be replaced (quite uncomfortable). There was an infestation of gnats, and the owner personally came to exterminate. Very friendly! It's not a flashy place but we had no problems and totally enjoyed it. It was perfect for us.

Entire Family Vacation
Sunrise Cottage was the perfect place for my husband, myself, my children and their spouses and our grandson. It was so relaxing. The pier and crab traps gave my family an experience that we don't have in our Midwestern lives. The Cottage is at the right location, a half hour from the Gulf Coast and close to many other locations that are worthy of visiting. While there we had a terrible storm (12 inches of rain and tornadoes). There was some damage outside of the Cottage. We contacted the host and they were great. If we return to this area, we would love to stay at Sunrise Cottage again.

So peaceful!
We had a great week! We stayed August of 2020 and loved it so wanted to come back and see how it was during another season. It was low tide for the water so fishing and crabbing off the dock wasn't great, but that led us to go out and explore more of Alabama. We found so many beautiful and neat nature spots with water all within 1/2 hour from the place. It was another great stay and we can't wait to return!

My stay
The place was very dusty. The Master bedroom mattress was Awful. My back was killing me from sleeping on this mattress. For $1600 a week, you should be able to sleep. Lamps with no shades. May want to check the heater. Every time we turned it our eyes were burning and we started coughing.

Annual Fishing Trip
This is our second time staying here and my family and fur doodles love it. We stay 2 weeks each time and could not ask for a better location or essentials needed. The house is well equipped with everything you need and has been upgraded since our last stay last year. Tawyna the owner is fantastic talking too. There are plenty of crab traps provided to use to catch crab, which we did end up catching along with flounder in the trap too. We seen Daulphins from the house and pier nearly on a daily basis which was beautiful. I can’t thank you enough Tawyna for letting us stay at your house, we will definitely be back next year.

Another fun trip!
This was our second stay at Sunrise cottage and it was another wonderful week of fishing and fun in Alabama. You gotta wake up early to really appreciate the view from the property over Weeks Bay at sunrise. The house has everything we needed for our group. We caught lots of keeper sized flounder right off of the dock at the house. Foley and Fairhope are both about a 20 minute drive from the house and offer plenty of shopping and restaurants. Biscuit king is 10 minutes away for a great breakfast. There’s a boat ramp 5 minutes away from the house. All in all we’ve had a blast both times we’ve been to sunrise cottage.
