Unleash Your Inner Beach Bum: Sun, Sand, and Sea at our Coastal Cottage!

Enjoy a quiet beach getaway at Beachside Blessing on Dauphin Island. Visit our 3 bedroom, 3-bath classic beach house on the Gulf side of Dauphin Island's west end. Relax and enjoy your view of the Gulf from the home’s deck, enjoy a cold drink on the covered outdoor eating area or take a short walk to the end of Portier Court to soak up the sun on the beach.

We are wheelchair accessible. No stairs needed to get to the front door! You can use our lift to get up to the first floor.

Beachside Blessing includes two bedrooms with king-sized beds and one bedroom with two queen-sized beds. It's the perfect setup for two families with children! The 3 bathrooms include a garden tub and two walk-in showers.

The living room and all 3 bedrooms have flatscreen TV’s. There is cable television and streaming in the living room. Two of the bedrooms have smart tv’s for streaming and one bedroom has cable. The home also has free high speed internet.

Located adjacent to the walking/biking trail and centrally located, Beachside Blessing provides you with easy access to all that Dauphin Island has to offer. Don’t miss visiting historic Fort Gains and the Audubon Bird Sanctuary where you move through maritime forest, marsh and dune habitat. The Island is also home to the Alabama Aquarium and Sea Lab that explores the animal, plant and marine life of coastal Alabama. Plan ahead and rent a boat or kayak, charter a fishing trip or simply lay on the beach and watch the ghost crabs. What more can you possibly need.

Location was a biggg stretch
The description of property said you could see the gulf from the deck… well, there was a very small area that was visible, but there were also six houses between the water and our house. Not exactly what I would consider ocean front property. Location is the number one reason why we chose the property we did, and this was very misleading. Second complaint was a cleaning fee assessed, but then we were expected to remove bedding, take trash out, start the dishwasher and start a load of towels prior to check out…. all with a 6 hour time frame from check out to check in time For next guest, which I would think would be plenty of time to do the said tasks. I don’t go on vacation, and expect to do these tasks, especially when I’m charged a cleaning fee. Thirdly, the front bathroom stool was constantly “running”. We noticed this day one, so I would have expected the people cleaning to have experienced this as well. There was also a very pungent smell from the front bathroom. We just closed the door and shared the other shower in the house. Not sure what was causing the smell, but it was not pleasant.

Convenient, comfrotable, pet friendly, and well stocked rental
The property was well maintained and well stocked in the kitchen. Beds were very comfortable, usually an issue for me in most rentals. Quick walk to the beach, maybe 4 houses down. Just a few minutes drive to good eats and fun activities. Will definitely stay here again!

Perfect for a laid back stay with 2 families. The beach is very close to the house and the quiet atmosphere allowed us to relax even though we have little ones! I would go back!
