We had a great week!

This house is a great set up for our family. We love that it is directly on the beach and the balcony and decks are a favorite. Very good kitchen set up with a large refrigerator and plenty of cookware, etc. This is our second year at this property and we hope to be back again!

Another terrific stay!

Been coming down to the island for years. This wasn’t our first stay in this house, nor will it be our last! We’re two family sharing a house for spring break with kids ranging from preschool to high school. This is a fantastic location, very comfortable for our group, and Kristen is really easy to communicate with. Just waiting for those 2026 dates to drop so we can book again next year!

Beautiful home right on the beach!

We had a wonderful week here! The pictures represent the home well. The kitchen was well stocked with a variety of dishes, appliances, pots/pans and utensils. It was perfect for taking long walks in either direction on the beach and sitting out on the decks. We hope to return!

Spring Break Girls Trip

My 2 daughters, 4 granddaughters and myself thoroughly enjoyed our time on Dauphin Island in this house. There were plenty of linens and kitchen supplies. The house is beautiful and in a great location. No huge crowds. We could watch dolphins, birds and other wildlife from our balconies or from our beach. This house is clean, comfortable and a great place to unwind and enjoy sunrises, sunsets, the ocean/ gulf and time with my girls. I would stay here again and have already recommended to other people.

Winter Break Best at Dauphin Island

What a fantastic way to start the new year! It was especially fun to bring my dog, introducing her to the beach and to the ocean. The home was perfect on point in every way: the colors of the paint, the higher ceilings, the comfortable beds and spaciousness all made this rental beach home comfortable and beautiful. The location is right on the beach so you stepped to the sand and just almost 10 feet away is the Gulf of Mexico! I saw so many dolphins from the deck, had great beach walks saw amazing sunsets and sunrises. What a great place to come in the winter.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this property. We always enjoy our time on the island and this house was perfect for us as grandparents hosting our adult children and their families. Loved the large dining table, kitchen is well appointed with a large refrigerator and a closed pantry for all of our snack storage! We also loved the covered porches and especially the sun deck.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen West

Host profile image
We are a fun loving family of 5. My husband (C.O.) and I (Kristen) are the proud parents of three girls. We live in Missouri and are excited to get to spend time in Dauphin Island at our home away from home and to share this home with others. We enjoy all of the activities that the Island has to offer and feel blessed knowing our girls will grow up in such a great environment on the Island making priceless memories.
Dream Big LLC built this home in 2019.

Why they chose this property

This property is very special to us. My husband visited Dauphin Island when he was 16 and his family took a detour on their memorable trip to the Olympics in 1996. He knew then that he wanted to return to Dauphin Island and dreamed of owning a home there someday to share with his family. We purchased a vacation/rental home on Dauphin Island in 2017 and fell in love with the Island. When the lot in front of our new beach home went for sale we decided to invest again and build a bigger home for our growing family. We think that you will find the house is uniquely situated on the Gulf with views of all the Island has to offer from the sunrise in the east, the Gulf to the south, the Sound to the North and the sunsets to the West. This house was designed to offer 3 incredible King suites that all have incredible views and a bunk room for kids, a perfect match for multiple family/friend groups with children.

What makes this property unique

"Island Cure" is located midway down the West End of the island and sits directly on the beach/gulf. It is a very short drive or bike ride to the far West End of the Island, which has lifeguards and various other attractions/vendors during the summer months. Additionally, it is only a short drive from the local grocery store, shops, restaurants, golf course, Estuarium and Fort Gaines on the East End of the Island. The house offers a wide variety of outdoor space to hang out and relax including a covered deck to the south as well as a full sun deck extension, additionally a covered deck off the 2nd floor king suites. There are dual staircases allowing access to the beach and your parking area. It has been decorated with comfort and simplicity in mind to allow you to rest, relax and recharge and provide you with the perfect "Island Cure".
