Surprise Landing Cottage is in the quiet, secluded area south of Fairhope known as Battles Wharf.

We are located 1 mile north of Marriott's Grand Hotel and Lakewood's Robert Trent Jones Golf Course on Mobile Bay. Several other golf courses are nearby. We are a short drive to historic Mobile, the Battleship Alabama and the white sandy beaches of the Alabama Gulf coast.

The cottage is fully furnished and you would have use of our pier on beautiful Mobile Bay. Come and enjoy our spectacular sunsets.

There is a walking/biking trail practically at the back door and Fairhope's charming little shops are a short drive or bike away. The area is known for its many seafood restaurants on the Causeway and other local favorites nearby. Tanger's Outlet Center in Foley is a short 30 minute drive for great bargains and The Eastern Shore Center in Spanish Fort offers a huge variety of shopping and dining. Grocery stores, pharmacies, and retail shopping are a ten minute drive.

Fairhope's Arts and Crafts Festival takes place every spring and there are always local artists working in Fairhope. Mobile's Mardi Gras and Fairhope's own Mardi Gras celebrations attract many visitors who like our low-keyed style of celebrating. Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve is a unique opportunity to learn about Coastal Alabama.

Whether you are looking for golfing, art, walking, biking, tennis, boating, fishing, crabbing, shopping, discovering coastal South Alabama or just plain relaxing, all are available for you to enjoy year round at Surprise Landing Cottage.

                            My wife and I have been visting the Fairhope/Point Clear area for over 20 years and we have finally found the perfect place to stay for just the two of us. We spent a long weekend at Surprise Landing and fell in love with this beautiful, comfortable and well equipped cottage. The grounds around the cottage are beautiful and the pier and boathouse are the perfect place to watch the beautiful Mobile Bay sunsets. Our hosts, the property owners, could not have been more welcoming - helping us unload late on a rainy evening. There was even a bottle of wine and home made cheese straws on the table. This is southern hospitality at its very best and we will be back.

                            Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway.

                            Owner response: Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad that you loved Surprise Landing Cottage. Hope to see you both again in the future.

                            Excellent place to stay, very comfortable, quiet, well equipped and maintained. We have visited twice and would choose this cottage again on our return to Fairhope. I would recommend to a friend or relative.

                            Staying at Surprise Landing is southern hospitality at its best. The cottage is located down a shady lane behind the main house on the property. A short path leads to a marvelous dock that is made for lounging over the water and watching the sun set. The cottage itself has the newest appliances and quality furnishings. The hosts are very accommodating and have thought of everything!. The cottage has so many nice touches that satisfy every need. The cottage is in a quiet, genteel area that is made for relaxation and refreshment. A short drive or walk can take one to either the Grand Hotel or the town of Fairhope. Fairhope is an attraction in itself with oak shaded streets full of interesting architecture and gardens. The town has interesting shops, a beautiful public wharf, and fine eateries. Clearly the area inspires the artist in people. Short drives take visitors to great seafood restaurants, farm markets, pecan groves, and stunning natural areas. A 45 minute trip leads to mall shopping or the white sands of the Gulf. The attractions of Mobile are only slightly farther afield. We have been visiting the area with our family for twenty years and this is one of the finest places we have stayed.

                            Owner response: Dear Dave and Kim, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so glad that you liked Surprise Landing Cottage and that you had a good visit to Fairhope. We hope you will consider us when you next come down. Hope spring is coming in Michigan. Your little plant is thriving in the back yard. I know it will be lovely. Thank you again for taking the time to write the review. Best regards, Deborah

                            We so enjoyed our stay at Surprise Landing and this was our third stay. It is exceptionally cozy and clean and the owners are very personable. The cooking facilities are very good also. The town is delightful for a walk around. It is a very quiet area and right on Mobile Bay so we had a great time strolling along the water's edge. The owners were so helpful and showed us a delightful walk from their house along the water's edge. We would highly recommend Surprise Landing especially for couples.

                            I stayed here in June, 2011. I found the cottage wanting for nothing. It truly was a home away from home, minus the distractions of feeling like there were chores, errands or tasks that I needed to complete. It was as relaxing as I could ask for and within a nice walk to the municipal pier with shops and restaurants along the walk. The location allowed me to make a day trip to Pensacola or Mobile. Not only would I highly recommend the cottage, I am hoping to return. The hosts were wonderful, communicating quickly and thouroughly. My deposit was home before I was. The price was very reasonable. The people I met in Fairhope were extremely friendly and helpful. The town was a great place to stroll, dine and shop. Don't miss the museum and the bookstore Page and Palette. I've decided I was born on the wrong side of the country and wish retirement was sooner.

                            Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

                            Owner response: Thank you for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed yourself and we enjoyed meeting you. Hope you will return South some day.
