Great Relaxing Stay

This was the perfect location for a wedding we attended in Fairhope. Plenty of room in the fenced in yard for our pup, and about 10 minutes from all the weekends events.

Enjoyed our stay

The home was clean and comfortable and we very much enjoyed our stay. The weather sprites did toy with us a bit, but the house kept us safe. Neighborhood was quiet and the location was just minutes from everywhere we visited. Highly recommend this vacation rental for anyone visiting Fairhope, Foley and the east bay area.

Quick visit, mainly for business, but had a little time to relax too.

Clean, very well-equipped kitchen, spacious, nice little backyard that is fenced well for pets. Thoughtfully stocked. I hope to visit again soon.

Fairhope stay

Niki accommodated my husband and I on short notice. Her place is beautifully decorated and comfortable and clean. The backyard which is fenced in was perfect for our dog. Would definitely stay there again.

Perfect little property

This property, in a rural setting, was one of the most well-kept and well-appointed VRBOs I have had the pleasure to visit. Coffee, tea, spices, kitchen equipment, whatever - anything we wanted for our brief stay, it was right there. If the location is for you, then I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

Our family loved this property!!! It was the most adorable, coziest home. It is ideally located. It is so close to Fairhope and, also, near enough to Foley to visit both. We had everything we could possibly need there. Owner is so super sweet. We look forward to going back to this property in the future.

Quiet Location with Lovely Home!

This home was exactly as advertised. It was a lovely home with all the necessary amenities. Very clean and very dog friendly. Perfect location for me to attend CLE at The Grand Hotel. Close to lovely shopping in downtown Fairhope! Terrific experience.

Family vacation and baseball trip.

We chose this property because it was located strategically between the beach and the park where we were playing ball. It did not disappoint. It was immaculately clean, well decorated and completely furnished with everything our family needed. We loved the country charm but we were still very close to everything that we came to do. I can’t say enough good things about this property! Would definitely stay here again.

Apple Run, Fairhope Alabama

Stayed the month of Feb 2024. Place was very cute and clean. Large fenced in back yard for the dog worked out well. The area is very picturesque with numerous horse farms. Easy drive to the beach in Fairhope as well as the Gulf Shores beaches.
