Really well-designed property for a group of adults and kids, with lots of beds, game room, and places for people to either hang out together or in small groups. Great location, and fantastic communication with the owner.
We loved the home and location, and we would definitely stay again! The property is well maintained and had great information for "out-of-towners." We got to walk along the bay, visit the town, and Gulf Shores is only 50 minutes away. Would highly recommend!

Thank you Brandon for your kind review! We are so glad you explored Fairhope and that our house book was helpful! We would love to see you again in the future!
This was a great, well-located property. The yard area was perfect for our kids to run around. Everything was well-stocked and as described. Communication with the property manager was quick and easy.
This was a great location and the 3 living spaces was perfect for our family get together. Everything was very well stocked. Will use this rental again

Thank you for your kind review on the scenic house. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We would love for you to stay again in the future.
We had a terrific stay for a girls' weekend. It's a challenge to find places for all adults in larger groups to stay in comfort, particularly non-couples. This is an amazing choice! Lots of space and versatility, convenient to Fairhope downtown and lovely places to walk, eat, shop, and explore. We enjoyed our game nights when we got back, and borrowed the kitchen- easy to use accommodation! Some of the group were thrown off by mention of a hot tub, but the soaker tub in the second bathroom was a big hit! The beds were some of the most comfortable I've had at short term rental. It felt very safe and secure, plenty of space to park, and lots of comfortable hangout space. This was a well-appointed find for a group weekend and would definitely choose again for the area!
Great location and property .... centrally located between Magnolia Springs and Fairhope !

Thank you for your kind review, but we are located only 4 miles from Fairhope city center and 1 mile from The Grand Hotel! We are in Pt Clear..pretty far from Magnolia Springs! But we are so happy you enjoyed staying at The Scenic House and so hope to host you again in the future.
This was a great property. We loved the proximity to Fairhope and all the charm that is in that great little town. The property is well apportioned with everything we needed and we had plenty of room for our extended families to be comfortable and reconnect. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will stay again!

The property was lovely and perfect for our needs! We are recent empty nesters who came to town for a wedding. Our young adult children were all able join us for a few days of family time. The house was perfect for our needs. The game room, grill, and location were just wonderful.
The house was exactly as pictured and described. great for a larger group of close family or friends. Holly was quick to reply on any questions. Thank you for a great place to stay!
We had a great stay at the Scenic House! We had a group of 9 people - 2 families with some adult children and teens. The game room was perfect for the young people and all the living space was plentiful. The kitchen was well-stocked and we loved the porch and the fenced-in yard. Would love to stay again!

Thank you Jennifer! We really enjoyed hosting your group, and certainly hope you stay with us again soon. With the multiple large living spaces inside and out, groups can really spread out when needed and come together comfortably when desired. We are so happy The Scenic House provided all of this and more for your family.
Awesome house that was obviously just remodeled. Extra amenities in all areas, kitchen, bath areas, beautiful furniture and vintage rugs, teal paintings, ping pong table, poker table, fenced in backyard, and on and on. Great location to the public beach, infamous Fairhope shopping and restaurants. We will definitely come again!

Thank you Lori for your kind review! Sorry that our response got missed in the mix! We so hope you will stay with us again at The Scenic House!
Our family came from CA & TX for a wedding at the Grand Hotel. This was a great property for our toddler grandchildren and our preteen niece. They had plenty of safe and secure play areas with the fenced backyard, the gazebo and large covered porch. The inside rooms were large enough for additional family to join us for lunch and dinner.
The property was very clean and well maintained and nicely decorated.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We are so happy that the Scenic House worked out for you and all of your family. Please come stay with us again!!
We are a bunch of college buddies C'82 who gather every year around this time. We need lots of bedrooms because we are not couples. Fairhope is great. Wish the house was walkable to town. Very nice house. Kitchen well outfitted. We really enjoyed ourselves. The fenced back yard was great for my dog.

About the host
Hosted by Molly Clarke
Two generations of family have put love and care into this wonderful 1945 home. Our family has lived in Fairhope for three decades and after outgrowing and selling our family home in Fairhope Proper, it didn't take long to realize that we all desperately missed having a family hub on the Eastern Shore.
Finding and renovating The Scenic House has given our family such excitement and we are so happy share this remarkable town and property with all of our guests. What we enjoy most when we gather at The Scenic House is playing hours of dominos on the back porch- rain or shine. We hope The Scenic House will give you similar fond memories.
Molly is the Property Manager for The Scenic House and will be there to assist with check-in and will help with any issues, questions, rentals, and emergencies. Molly is also a Fairhope native with roots going generations back so she truly knows all of the local secrets.

The location is perfect for the group who wants to be near everything but also has a space that feels like their own sanctuary.
