Walk next door to find the famous neighborhood Italian bistro, Gambino's, offering authentic cuisine & piano bar. Across the street, check out the tiki bar & Legion for afternoon cocktails & brews. Le Hibou Blanc wants to capture a feeling as much as they do character, where everyone who visits feels as if they have been welcomed into Fairhope and our own home.

Beautifully eclectic

This little cottage had everything my friend and I needed to enjoy our stay. The beds were extremely comfortable. The bathrooms were beautifully decorated and the bath towels were luscious. The screened-in porch was a nice little oasis for morning coffee. I would definitely stay here again. With that being said, I believe the ad says there is a water view. Although close to the water, we could not see it from our cottage.

Wonderful cottage

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay at Le Hibou Blanc (A) so much. The cottage is part of an adorable neighborhood, walkable to the beach (Eastern Shore Trail), and full of interesting decor. It is cozy, but with enough room for 2 adults and 3 teenagers. If we are ever back in the area, we will be booking again!
