Fairhope AL Vacation Rentals near Downtown, Fairhope Pier

Welcome to Emerson House — a bright and inviting vacation rental in Fairhope, Alabama just steps from Mobile Bay and an easy walk to downtown. This thoughtfully appointed home offers the perfect blend of location, comfort, and convenience, making it one of the best places to stay in Fairhope for couples, families, or groups attending weddings or events.

This spacious custom-built four bedroom home features a dining and living area ideal for gathering and entertaining. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed to prepare meals at home; this has brought praise from groups we have hosted during holidays. The master suite is downstairs featuring a soaking tub and separate shower. There is a secondary living room upstairs providing additional areas to spread out. The design is representative of a Fairhope, Alabama home.

The private outdoor areas — including a fenced-in patio in the rear and a screened in porch in front with rocking chairs — are perfect for sipping coffee in the morning or grilling out in the evening. In the back is a hot tub and outdoor seating with a pergola providing partial shade.

Guests love the walkable location — just steps to the Fairhope Pier and walking distance to charming downtown Fairhope boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. The complimentary golf cart provided makes getting around town as fun as it is convenient.

Catching the sunset over the bay on the bluffs a few steps away is a great way to end any day during your Fairhope vacation.

Airbnb Review Emerson House - Barbara

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Barbara, August 2024 AirBnB

Emerson house ranks in the top of my vacation rentals, including Aspen, Chamonix, Zermatt, Jackson Hole, Snowbird, Big Sky, Rosemary Beach. The house was amazing and perfect for our girls trip, providing each with our own spacious king bedroom and bath. The house was immaculate and the kitchen was stocked with everything one might need and more. This beautiful house is in a great location for the downtown area where there are many nice shops and great restaurants. Beth Ann was a perfect host and very responsive. I highly recommend the Emerson House and would definitely stay here again. My next trip should be in the Spring or Fall when I can enjoy the rocking chairs on the screened in porch and the backyard area. I think we pick the hottest week of the year but the air conditioning and fans kept the house very cool and comfortable. And a plus was a Super Moon. Thank you for making Emerson House available.

AirBnB Review Emerson House - Olivia

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Olivia, June 2025 AirBnB

Lovely place to stay! A large group of us stayed there for a sailing event and the house accommodations meant that everyone was very comfortable. Nice common areas for us to hang out in and plenty of space in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Would stay there again.
