This inviting outdoor living space is an extension of the home,
Start the day perched from a vantage that can yield a spectacular sunrise. If you are lucky, a school of bottle-nose porpoises will pass just off the end of the pier. A place where brown pelicans and seagulls dive for fish and wild ducks glide just out of reach into perfect landings in the small canal that runs alongside the house. Equip yourself with a rod and enjoy some of the best fishing around, or head out with your favorite book as the tide gently laps at the foot of the pilings of the pier. Weeks bay is a treasure of undiscovered natural beauty. The cozy little cabin comes equipped with three bedrooms, two baths and all the amenities needed for good living, including a washer, and dryer. The cabin sleeps up to 7. Strategically located, headquarters is just 15 minutes from downtown Fairhope where you can enjoy shopping the quaint little boutiques; or drive forty minutes south to sun on the beautiful white sands of Gulf Shores. Between excursions on the rivers that feed the small bay, you can tie the boat at the end of the pier; or dock alongside the house in the small channel depending on the tides. For dinner, you can cook fresh seafood ( caught or bought) in the full kitchen, or try one of the many restaurants in whatever direction you happen to drive. Then get up the next day and start all over again. We have baby and toddler items (pack n play, high chair, and toys) available.

Fantastic place to stay especially with fur babies. We have stayed at this place numerous times and will be back. It has a big yard for your babies to run and a long pier that is covered what we loved this trip is the updates on the house. The screened in porch which is phenomenal we spent most of our time out there just overlooking the water. After a long day on the boat coming in to take a nice shower with the powerful shower head felt amazing. We caught blue crab . We love our stay here with the beautiful sun sets to sunrises and we will definitely be back!!!!
Quiet and out of the way, while still being convenient to downtown Fairhope, Foley, Pensacola, Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and more. Would definitely book again!
Enjoyed the cottage and the quiet location on the bay. It was really neat to see dolphins swim past the pier. Close to ocean, shopping, restauranrs and entertainment.
This was an amazing little cottage the Sunrises and the sunsets were gorgeous we fished we hung out watching the wildlife and boats passing by will definitely be back probably with our boat next time also Fairhope is a great little town with plenty to do Our Dog loved the view as well and was just as happy to be there as we were
We have stayed at the Sunrise Cottage multiple times, and have enjoyed every stay…only complaint is the countertops were not cleaned, and floors were not swept. Easy fix, but should have to clean when we get there.
We had the absolute best time staying here! We spent the majority of our stay just out on the dock fishing and crabbing! The house was perfect for a comfortable at home feel! This has by far been our family's favorite vacation and we can't wait to return!

We are so happy you enjoyed your time at sunrise cottage! Thank you so much for your kind words. We are looking forward to hearing from you about your next visit.
Great views, peaceful, somewhat secluded. Loved walking the pier and sitting on the dock. Glad we were able to bring our dogs. Found plenty to do in nearby towns and even traveled to Mobile. Would stay again!
We came to Fairhope for a family event during arts and crafts so there was lots to do but by far our favorite was when we just hung out at the house visiting and watching the water. Pelicans, dolphin's, wildlife and sunsets were delightful. Don’t expect high end amenities, but it has everything you need for a great week. Beds were comfortable and the furniture was comfy. The shower pressure was wonderful. Rustic comfortable
We absolutely loved staying here as it met all of our needs. We loved being able to keep our bat at the dock. Convenient location for the baseball tournament for my son. We will be returning asap for some peace and relaxation
Beautiful view, sweet roomy cabin, lots of wildlife, PERFECT
This precious cabin had so much room! Plenty of room for the family to have a dance competition, and seating for movie watching. The yard was large and flat. Fish and wildlife all around! And the sunrise view was the icing on the cake. It was our favorite weekend getaway to date!
We thoroughly enjoyed spending our fall break in Fairhope! We were able to spend some time at the beach, do a little shopping, and just relax at the house and do some fishing! The views were amazing, morning and night! We also loved seeing the dolphins and other wildlife! Can’t wait to visit again!!

A great place to relax on weeks bay with beautiful sunrises.
We have stayed at this cottage many times and always enjoy sitting out on the dock and enjoying the natural beauty of weeks bay.
There is great water pressure in the showers, and the house has seen some good improvements over the years.
We always enjoy staying at this funky little cottage,we take our boat and keep it tied up at the dock the whole week .
