About the host
Hosted by Dave Kirby
Jenny has lived in Fairhope since she was a child, and Dave “got here as fast as he could”. We’ve got lots of great suggestions about where to eat and what to see. When you book, we’ll send a list of local dining recommendations and we’re happy to give even more specific recommendations tailed to your likes and situation.
Why they chose this property
This is the most unique home in Fairhope. The tin ceilings and walls take you back in time, while the rocking chairs on the front porch and the giant back porch with the grand entrance are made for relaxing under the centuries old live oaks.
