Have your own beach on the bay, great views, and access to the Mississippi Sound at Set Sail! This bayfront home offers lovely rooms with sliding glass doors that open to the wraparound deck.

Step into Set Sail with its high ceilings, open floor plan, and tons of windows drenching the house with the Island's natural light! Admire incredible views of the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and the gentle waters of the Mississippi Sound (Bay) to the north. The great room offers two separate living areas with the kitchen and dining area in the middle. On the Gulf side, gather around the comfy sitting area and fireplace. On the Sound (Bay) side, you'll find ample sofas, board games, and a Vizio Smart TV with DirecTV, a DVD player, and a stereo. The functional kitchen offers plenty of prep area for the cook, a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with an icemaker and water dispenser, a dishwasher, a microwave, a range/oven, a coffee maker and all dishes, glasses, pots/pans, and silverware.

Four bedrooms flank the home. On the southeast, the Gulf-side bedroom offers a set of bunk beds and a sleeper sofa, with a DVD player/monitor for movie watching - perfect for the kids. The northeast Sound-side bedroom is furnished with a king bed and extra seating. The other two west-side bedrooms are also furnished with king beds and DirecTV. Between the bedrooms, guests will find bathrooms with separate single vanities. One of these bathrooms has a bathtub, and both have a shower. In addition, there is a guest half-bathroom with a toilet and vanity. Each of the four bedrooms has its own French doors that open on to the wraparound deck. You also have a utility closet with the washer/dryer, vacuum, broom, and iron/ironing board.

Enjoy the covered wraparound deck with views from every angle. There is a boardwalk to your own private, shade pavilion with hammocks and a picnic table. You can fish and swim right there in your own 'backyard.' Underneath Set Sail, you will find an additional outdoor living area with a shower, conversation seating area, gas grill, an additional picnic table, and a romantic swing overlooking the Sound (Bay) waters.

Linens and bath towels are provided, but you will need to bring your own beach towels. HVAC with ceiling fans are inside and out. Set Sail is graciously stocked with books, games, DVD movies, and music CDs. Parking for four cars is available under the house.

If you want to bring your four-legged family members along, Set Sail is a dog-friendly property. All pets must be reported at the time your reservation is made. The Town of Dauphin Island leash law requires dogs to be on leash and properly secured when outdoors and also requires that dog waste in rental property yards, beaches, and public areas be picked up and properly disposed of.

Things to know:
Free WiFi
Dogs are welcome (and are required to be on-leash when outdoors)
Please be aware that there is no Gulf beach access across the street

We loved the breathtaking views, the layout of the house, and all of the amenities. All twelve of our family members (and the two dogs) agreed that we definitely want to stay here again! Vacasa staff was so nice to work with (responded to my texts immediately). Take note that the current pictures of house and description of construction next door is outdated as of July 2025. Nothing about this stay disappointed me! Bring some crabbing nets. The hermit crabs were all along the shore!

We had the best time during our stay. Having the water in the backyard was so nice and relaxing. We did have an issue with the air conditioner going out, which we know happens, but we wish it would’ve been handled differently. However, we didn’t let it ruin our vacation & everything else went smoothly.

We love Set Sail! It has become a family tradition to stay here for summer vacation. Beautiful location with perfect access to a private beach.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jan 2023
The house was amazing it has everything you need from cookware to towels. The issue is with the cleanliness, it looks clean but the towels smelled like a wet dog makeup on the sheets chip bags under the bed stickers left on the trim above the glass doors pots n pans had stains & burnt leftovers on them. Someone needs to check behind house cleaning to see what they’re actually doing.
