About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This inviting outdoor living space is an extension of the home,

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.

Spring Break

We have stayed at the Sunrise Cottage multiple times, and have enjoyed every stay…only complaint is the countertops were not cleaned, and floors were not swept. Easy fix, but should have to clean when we get there.

Rustic cottage on the water

We came to Fairhope for a family event during arts and crafts so there was lots to do but by far our favorite was when we just hung out at the house visiting and watching the water. Pelicans, dolphin's, wildlife and sunsets were delightful. Don’t expect high end amenities, but it has everything you need for a great week. Beds were comfortable and the furniture was comfy. The shower pressure was wonderful. Rustic comfortable

Beautiful view, sweet roomy cabin, lots of wildlife, PERFECT

This precious cabin had so much room! Plenty of room for the family to have a dance competition, and seating for movie watching. The yard was large and flat. Fish and wildlife all around! And the sunrise view was the icing on the cake. It was our favorite weekend getaway to date!

The best time!

We had the absolute best time staying here! We spent the majority of our stay just out on the dock fishing and crabbing! The house was perfect for a comfortable at home feel! This has by far been our family's favorite vacation and we can't wait to return!

So much fun!

We thoroughly enjoyed spending our fall break in Fairhope! We were able to spend some time at the beach, do a little shopping, and just relax at the house and do some fishing! The views were amazing, morning and night! We also loved seeing the dolphins and other wildlife! Can’t wait to visit again!!

A great place to relax on weeks bay with beautiful sunrises.

We have stayed at this cottage many times and always enjoy sitting out on the dock and enjoying the natural beauty of weeks bay. There is great water pressure in the showers, and the house has seen some good improvements over the years. We always enjoy staying at this funky little cottage,we take our boat and keep it tied up at the dock the whole week .

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.

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.

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!

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.
