About this house rental

This popular beach rental boasts a prime central location on Dauphin Island, putting you close to all restaurants and island activities. The open floor plan features generous front and back decks offering Gulf views, a newly renovated and fully stocked chef’s kitchen, breakfast bar with stools, and a roomy dining and living area. There are 4 beautiful bedrooms, each with its own private vanity area and Jack and Jill-style bathrooms. There is also a half bathroom off the kitchen & living area. High-speed Wi-Fi and a small work desk are available in one of the bedrooms if you need to do a little work while there. Every bed is outfitted with fresh, comfortable linens, and each room includes its own flat-screen TV. If you travel with your pets, experience the best of pet-friendly comfort in this impeccably clean, well-maintained, and spacious home. Enjoy a fenced dog area with direct access from the expansive back decks (covered area and uncovered sun deck with loungers). No need to get dressed just to let your pet out! Below the house, you’ll find a charcoal grill, outdoor hot/cold shower, fish cleaning station, and plenty of covered parking. Best of all, you’re just steps from the beach—either via a private back easement through the sand or a short stroll down the street. This home is ideally situated in the heart of Dauphin Island, providing easy access to all the island’s amenities. Dauphin Island, stretching approximately 17 miles, is a peaceful retreat and a true paradise for nature lovers. The island exudes a nostalgic, laid-back beach vibe with tranquil, uncrowded shores and a non-commercial atmosphere—perfect for making lasting memories and truly unwinding. The dog-friendly beach features soft white sand and ample uncrowded beaches for relaxing in the sun. Witness breathtaking sunsets, and at certain times of year, you may even have the beach nearly to yourself! If you’re seeking adventure beyond the shore, enjoy bike and golf cart rentals, fishing charters, golf, or a swim at the Isle of Dauphine Complex. Kids can have fun at the skate park, playground, or mini-golf course. Don’t miss the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, historic Fort Gaines, or the Dauphin Island Sea Lab and Estuarium. Be sure to check out the charming local restaurants and the excellent fish market. If you want to just relax, take it easy and CHILL OUT you will love it here!

Great place - so close to the beach! Make sure you bring groceries including coffee. We had a problem with coffee maker but was able to easily communicate with owner.

Everything was great overall! The home is very nice and a quick walk to the beach. Beds were super comfy and the kitchen was great for cooking. There are a few things that were not disclosed by the owners— there is a new home that was built so close to this property that you can almost reach out and touch it from the back deck. This home also blocks most of the view of the water. There are also cameras on the front and back porches. This was alarming to me and the other guests as we are mostly women who did not feel comfortable sunbathing while on camera. Legally, this has to be disclosed by owners and it was not. Aside from those two notes, I highly recommend this property and Dauphin Island in general!

This property was gorgeous! Very clean, the porches were fantastic, and our pups loved the fences in back yard! The beach is a short walk away and you even have a small view of it from the back deck. We loved this place and will definitely be back!
