Surprise Landing Cottage Fairhope - Fairhope

Surprise Landing Cottage is in the quiet, secluded area known as Battles Wharf. Our fully equipped and furnished Cottage is located on the Mobile Bay side of the scenic coastal highway, and is just minutes south of Fairhope and the Fairhope Municipal Pier and one mile north of Marriott's Grand Hotel.

No direct water view from the Cottage, but guests are welcome to walk out front to access and use our private pier for water-related activities like fishing, swimming, sunsets, pick nicks, hammock naps, and the like. The pier has a covered pavalion, a galley with water and electricity, and a lower level deck for ease of water access. We keep light tackle and frozen bait on the wharf for guests’ use.

There is a walking, biking trail that parallells the coastal highway. So Fairhope's charming shops are a quick drive or bike-ride away
