About this house rental

This custom 3 bedroom/3 bath home was completed April 2016 and is located on the east end of Dauphin Island in the gated Desoto Landing community. The house is well appointed and is in very close proximity to the neighborhood pool, tennis courts, and boardwalk to a white sandy beach. We are situated at the end of a cul-de sac with a serene view of a natural dune out of a large, 400 square foot screened in porch – perfect for getting away to enjoy some quiet time or gathering with family and friends. The front deck is an equally peaceful retreat and there is large amount of space underneath the house including a storage room with lots of beach supplies.
Inside, the house features a spacious open floor plan. The fully stocked extra large kitchen opens into the dining and living room area with plenty of space for cooking, eating, and entertainment. The living room includes a leather reclining sofa and 60” Television, board games, etc. The large Master bedroom has an open view through French doors to the dune, spacious master bathroom with separate tub and shower, and king size bed. The other bedrooms include a queen size bed in one and twin beds in the other, both with their own full bathrooms. TV’s are included in all bedrooms fed by dish satellite. A large laundry room with washer, dryer, and lots of counter space comes in handy for those long stays. Cable Internet service/wifi is provided.
Dauphin Island is a great place for a laid back, family friendly vacation. No high rises and no stop lights! Enjoy long walks or doing nothing on the expansive local beach or take a short drive to the West End or East end beaches. Get some exercise or take in the scenes along 7 miles of bike paths. Rent a bike or kayak. Walk the trails in the bird sanctuary and explore Fort Gaines and the Estuarium. Bring your fishing gear or schedule a trip on a charter boat. Enjoy the casual atmosphere in locally owned restaurants or enjoy preparing your favorite meals in our large, well equipped kitchen.
If you want to venture out further, take the Ferry to Fort Morgan and explore the eastern shore beaches. The city of Mobile is a 45 minute drive, Biloxi 90 minutes, and New Orleans 2.5 hours with no shortage of things to do.
This is our personal beach get away and our hope is that many families and friends will create some memories here as if it were their own.

We had a great time at DeSoto Landing and the house was in a great location-- quick walk to the pool and beach. The pool was nice, but the beach was amazing-- very clean and not too crowded. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to have a nice 1-week stay. Would definitely stay here again! Pat was wonderful and very easy to communicate with.

This was my family's second time at this house and it was just as good as the first. We have stayed in five other houses in Desoto before we found this one. We were surprised when it was still available because I was a little late getting something booked. My lovely wife was looking at mountain trips, but then decided to head back to this beautiful island and this outstanding property. The house has copious amounts of room, and plenty of storage for whatever you bring. We cook something almost every night in the beautiful kitchen. Great screened in back deck, cozy front deck, and plenty of room underneath. Every thing in this house is impressive. Well, built, nicely decorated, high end appliances. We will be back for a third stay. Thanks to Pat and Kurt for being such wonderful hosts.

It was a wonderful experience! Perfect house! We can’t wait to stay again. Loved the beach so close. We walked 2 hours everyday. Great pool! The house was so clean and stocked with everything you need. It had all the beach supplies under the house which we enjoyed immensely. Looking forward to next time

This was our fourth visit to Dauphin Island but first to this property. The rental was exceptionally clean and well organized and had everything we needed and more. Rental was a short walk to the beach and included a pool. We loved the screened in back deck and had lots of space for our family to spread out. We’d definitely use again when in the area. It’s our favorite place we’ve rented from!
