About this property
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.

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.
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
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!

Gorgeous views!
We enjoyed our stay in Sunrise cottage. It had everything we needed to make everyone comfy. We saw dolphins playing every morning. A gator liked to make a daily appearance daily
Location on the water is great. We were able to catch some fish just sitting on the dock. There is a bait store close by. Short drive to visit downtown Fairhope, Magnolia Springs, & Point Clear with some great restaurants..Sunset Pointe, Big Daddy’s, Panini Pete’s. It certainly could use a little love & renovating. I’d call it a fishing camp.
This place was the perfect getaway. Secluded location, but close to several towns with activities ranging from beaches, shopping and wildlife encounters. Everything you could need to cook, clean and entertain your family. My 15 year old was fishing from sunrise to the wee hours of the morning. He caught blue crab, red fish, and a sting ray. Myself and baby enjoyed the provided toys and chasing eachother in the yard. It was nice not having to pack the extras for the baby. Definitely recommend a stay here.
I can't say enough good things about this place. The sunrises and moonrises were incredible. The setting was very private and the neighbors we encountered on our walks were all very friendly. The house was perfect for my family and our little dogs. It felt like the kind of place we used to stay for our childhood vacations. Not fancy, just comfortable. The amenities included everything we needed. I, especially, loved cooking on the gas stove and griddle. One thing to note. The amenities list includes a hot tub and there isn't one. I'm not sure if this was something that used to be there, but it didn't matter. We loved enjoying the view day after day. On warm days, we sat on the dock and enjoyed the birds and the occasional dolphin swimming by. On cooler and rainy days, we just enjoyed the view from the living room. All of us felt renewed from staying here and hated going home. The owner was exceptionally nice and helpful, and we look forward to returning to this wonderful home next year.
I gave this rental at Sunrise Cottage a 5 star rating for many reasons. Not because it is a modern, fully updated and a pristine property, but because it afforded everything we needed, we felt comfortable and were able to settle in nicely for 7 nights.
The kitchen was fully equipped, for our needs. The cupboards and contents reminded me of camping with my parents. Various miss matched items, but everything that was necessary to get things done, except a bottle opener for pouring from a can, my husband drinks tomato juice like water and we forgot our opener. He figured it out. We were grateful for the large stock pot that we boiled our 42 crabs, caught over 3 separate 12 to 24 hour soaks, using 2 or 3 traps. We caught way more but the smalls were put back. We froze several pounds and they made a safe dry ice trek back home. We highly recommend giving crabbing a try here, it was our first attempt and would return here just for crabbing. We are hooked and I don't even eat it, hubby loves! Watch the tides, we almost killed several in a super low tide that occured early one morning. They survived to be boiled. For bait we used chicken necks, frozen pogy fish and fresh caught small mullet and croakers. The fresh cut up fish worked best!
We had little luck fishing, it was mid November which I think had lots to do with our lack of connection. We caught over 200 fish in a prior 7 day vacation so we know how, this just wasn't the time for us. I caught an Atlantic Sting
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!
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!
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!
