We also enjoyed all the extras....gated property (felt very safe and private), common area in yard (including the play area for games) and extra bathroom and bath, coffee, and half and half, and hand soaps, shampoo, conditioner and bath gel for showers. We were soo relaxed, wanted to leave shades open the entire time to enjoy the beauty of the gardens.” ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The home was just as expected, super cute and had everything we needed! The host was 10/10 and gave us great recommendations on places to eat, drink and visit! We will definitely return!
Charming cottage with everything you could need. Delightful patio spaces, relaxing and peaceful. Restaurants and shops nearby! The hosts were extremely helpful. Can’t wait to return.
This place was extreme clean and up to date. The gate area was a nice sense of security. The communications with the owners was fantastic. We would highly recommend this place!
We definitely recommend this place! The hosts were very accommodating and the cottage is well-appointed with all the amenities! We love visiting Fairhope and have made several trips to the area. We've stayed at several rentals and this one is by far our favorite!
A friend and I came for Live at 5 for a girls weekend. We enjoyed being able to walk to the amphitheater and to downtown. Awesome place! Can’t wait to come back.
Perfectly appointed, clean and extremely comfortable.Wonderful location and excellent owner communication. Highly recommend when in beautiful Fairhope!
Beautiful, welcoming place with everything you need for a pleasant stay. Great communication with the hosts and they were very flexible to give us a late checkout to avoid the bad weather. Would highly recommend!
We absolutely loved our stay at this charming cottage. Our hosts were truly wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed! The location is perfect—just a few minutes from downtown and all the fantastic restaurants. This cottage is a real treasure, and I can’t wait to come back and stay again!
The property was beautifully landscaped with outdoor seating areas with a water feature (quite peaceful)! The interior was well appointed, had everything we needed and more, the host was very communicative and helpful, and the weekend was perfect! We highly recommend this property! Near the precious town of Fairhope which is well worth the trip!
This was our 27th wedding anniversary, and we were hoping to enjoy some great restaurants and simply relax. Your property allowed us to do that and so much more!The entire setup was first-class and clearly designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.The check-in and check-out process was seamless, which only added to the ease and enjoyment of our weekend.Thank you for helping make our anniversary truly perfect!
This place is super cute and feels like a little home away from home. We did have a hiccup in the beginning but Dave and Jen were great and took care of the issue right away. Thank you.
This property was beautifully decorated, clean, and had multiple spaces for relaxing inside and out. There was good communication with the host. The only issue we had was not planning a longer stay! We definitely plan to return.
Close to everything yet feels completely secluded. Very tranquil setting with everything you can possibly need from the well stocked kitchen to the bathroom just bring your toothbrush! Gated, Covered parking, charging station for your EV. The property has 2 units but we never heard or saw the other occupants. Great communication with the oweners.. they really thought about every little detail! We will definitely be back.
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable *something very important to me*. The house has many thoughtful additions that we enjoyed. Also, we were so close to downtown Fairhope which was easily one of the most charming towns I’ve ever visited. Dave was a fantastic host as well! He was very quick to respond and just a wonderful person all around! If you’re a foodie like me, make sure to grab all his dining recommendations! We are already talking about our next trip back!
We were in town for a wedding weekend. This was the perfect place for us. It was very nicely decorated and well furnished. The seating outside the cottage was private and comfortable as well as peaceful and quaint. We would really like to plan another trip to visit and stay here again when we can enjoy more of what Fairhope has to offer. It’s a very friendly town with plenty of shops, restaurants, and close enough that a day trip to the beach could be included. But even the bay pier and parks are good for resting and relaxing with a view. We will definitely book with this property again. Thank you for a nice stay and being such good hosts by providing good information and checking on us frequently.
A great peaceful retreat tucked away in an area you wouldn't expect to find such a beautiful place.Impeccable furnishings, and outdoor seating areas, complete with a fire pit, water feature, and privacy. Jen and Dave are ideal hosts with easy access and great communication. Would recommend this for any couple wanting to escape the madness of everyday life and enjoy a wonderful place to recharge your battery. Close to downtown and the great restaurants in Fairhope. We will definitely come back. Joe and Tina
Excellent stay! Beautiful property. I will be back soon.

About the host
Hosted by Dave Kirby
We're Dave and Jenny — we live nearby and run Hope Cottages as a full-time operation. You'll get a real response when you reach out, not an auto-reply, and someone who knows every restaurant, trail, and back road in Fairhope. We designed Faith Cottage around what we love about this town: genuine hospitality, great food within walking distance, and outdoor spaces worth lingering in. Our guests tell us we got it right — we'll let the reviews speak for themselves.
Why they chose this property
Faith Cottage is one of the few Gold Fortified vacation rentals in the area — a construction standard that costs more to build and shows in every detail. Add a private gated garden on a double lot, a central Fairhope address that puts the city's best food and entertainment one block away, and hosts who live just down the street. That combination is hard to find. Our most common guest feedback: they wish they'd booked more nights.
What makes this property unique
720 sq ft on a private double lot — rare for a central Fairhope address Gold Fortified construction: built for coastal Alabama weather, quieter, better insulated Private gated entry with automatic close — coded separately from the sister cottage Two 14/50 EV chargers on-site (bring your wall adapter) One block to downtown Fairhope dining and entertainment One block to Stimpson Park pickleball and tennis courts Two blocks to Thomas Hospital Five-minute walk to the Municipal Pier 300 Mbps WiFi
