Miriam and Ralph are superbly gracious. A fun retro place to stay which we have done many times in our search for a home in Fairhope.
Love this place. It's like Heaven on Earth. So peaceful and tranquil. Mr. Ralph and Ms. Miriam are amazing people. I highly recommend Oak Haven Cottages.
These cottages are basic, not fancy, but they are clean. The location is great. Ms. Miriam is lovely and very accommodating. You can bring your dog (s) which us important. If you are looking for fancy and modern, look further. But, if you want clean, affordable cottages in a family atmosphere, you will be delighted here. The neighbors even introduce themselves to you! Love Oak Haven!
What a pleasant place to say. You would expect older cottages to have signs of aging in the bathrooms and windows but these don’t. They have really paid attention to detail on refurbishing and modernizing the cottages where it counts. The cottages are extremely clean and cozy. If you are looking for new fangled timeshare this is not for you. If you like cozy, warm, friendly atmosphere’s you will love Oak Haven Cottages. We had 4 generations (6 women) in our two BR cottage with 2 BA. The kitchen is fully stocked with all necessities including Coffee maker, microwave, gas stove, refrigerator and double sink. The bathrooms have shower stalls not bath tubs. The cottage is old, but has new touches where it counts like blinds, curtains; the bathrooms have new sinks showers and toilets. Ms. Miriam is awesome and just one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. The park just across the street between the cottages and the water is a great place for a nice walk. We cannot wait to return!!
Love this place so clean. Great location. Dog friendly. Owners Ralph and Miriam the nicest people in the world. Thanks for making my vacation wonderful like always. Been coming here four years be coming back every year. Thanks for everything. Dana

Best place on earth if you really want to relax but still feel at home. Quite,clean ,well located.. This is the place my husband loved he spent 9of the last 10days he lived . Sitting and watching the ship's and barges going up and down Mobile bay we were 20 min from the beach but we enjoyed the scenic drive. We were close to parks and splash pads ,and a huge public pool. We loved and I still love this place. You don't have to worry about kids breaking stuff, they can play and be loud it is stocked with everything but your food you are 5min from a variety of grocery stores ,restaurants and shops not to mention the history of the area.
