Experience the Gulf of Mexico as you've never seen it before at this beachfront Dauphin Island home! Offering panoramic views of white sand and Gulf waves that stretch for miles, this beautiful home features spacious, covered porches on the upper and lower levels, 1,600 square feet of living space, and beach access mere steps away. The well-equipped kitchen offers a full suite of stainless steel appliances, and there's plenty of room for everyone at mealtime around the large dining table. If the weather is nice - and it probably is - dine alfresco on any of three picnic tables. After a day on the sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower and enjoy entertainment options at home including free cable, a DVD library, and free WiFi. More vacation necessities include central AC, a washer/dryer, and gas grill.

This Gulf-front home is a haven for beach-goers, cyclists, anglers, and birders. You can take a boat out to the 132-foot Sand Island Lighthouse, which sits roughly three miles south of the Mobile Bay entrance. The fascinating marine exhibits at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab at The Estuarium are six miles east, as are the wonderfully preserved Fort Gaines and the Dauphin Island Audubon Bird Sanctuary. Cyclists will also delight in miles of paved biking paths on the island - you can even bike to the ferry and ride over to Fort Morgan for a perfect day trip.

Relaxing getaway
This house was perfect for a few days of relaxing! Plenty of beach in front and a nice private driveway and parking area, which was a nice bonus! The house itself is updated and well kept. Everything was very clean. Thank you for opening your beautiful home!

Great beachfront stay!
We loved our trip to Dauphin Island and our stay here. We were beachfront, steps away from the water. The house was perfect! I love that the beaches are much less crowded here.

Great Family Beach House
I was highly impressed and very satisfied with the location and the beach house itself. The pictures listed are very accurate as to what it looks like. It was very clean, comfortable and spacious for my family of five. I loved that it was right on the beach. We saw dolphins swimming in front of the home each day. The house was very well stocked and maintained. It had everything we needed for our week long stay. I will definatley be booking this home again next year for our beach vacation. Dauphin Island is a great quite family friendly place and the best beach that I've traveled to.

Beach trip with friends
Ideal beach front rental for a week long stay. Our time was divided between reading while sitting on the long covered porch, gazing at the unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico, swimming in the warm, gentle waves and walking the soft, white sandy beach. The two king size bedrooms, one on the main floor and another on the second floor, provided plenty of privacy for two couples. We didn't use the third bedroom or bunk beds, all great options if needed for more guests. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans and an outside gas grill. We suggest bringing groceries for home cooked meals since the restaurant offerings were limited and expensive.

Overall, nice property. The kitchen faucet needs replaced, as it drips if not turned off in right position. Outside lights are not turtle friendly. Loved having a private driveway!

Return to Dauphin Island
Fantastic location for a family trip to one of our favorite paces! Right on the beach and the decks in each floor were a really nice feature. Lots of room and a good layout for a family or large group of friends. Will rent again.
