Please note that we are strictly animal free and smoke free.

This island home is your perfect vacation getaway!. Our home is located a short walk or even shorter drive from the beach and fishing pier and the golf course is 1/2 mile away! It is just off the bike trail and Salt Creek playground. The home also backs up to Salt Creek, a quiet creek which is great for birding, fishing, or kayaking from the backyard!

Furnished in the latest island style, this home features a gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances and granite countertops, and 3 bathrooms, one with dual shower heads and another with a deep soaking tub. Three bedrooms have direct bath access. The 4th bedroom upstairs has a tv and games., full size bed and two twin beds with Tuft and Needle mattresses. This room is most comfortable for up to 4 children or 3 adults due to bed sizes (2 twin and 1 full).

The outside life is great on Dauphin Island, and you will enjoy the luxury of your own 12 x 20 heated (off season) fun pool. The entire large back porch is screened in so you can enjoy the outdoor life even more! Note that we do not charge extra for pool heating, and are not responsible if weather conditions or occasional mechanical issues prevent the pool from being warm (the pool is a heat pump and will not function in weather under about 50 degrees).

Also, we do keep bikes at the home but they are provided AS A COURTESY and are not guaranteed. We rely on our guests to ride them carefully to help keep them in good shape. Bike rental places are available on the island if you need a guaranteed bike size, style, or condition.

About the host

Hosted by Julie

Host profile image
We are Steve and Julie Kenney. We have built many homes on Dauphin Island, but are now focusing on our custom closet business. We have three sons (two married) and a two grandchildren! . We love Dauphin Island and all there is to do, and the time we spend together, just hanging out at our Dauphin Island homes with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the property this home is built on in 2004, the day before Hurricane Ivan flooded the 50 year old home that sat (flat on the ground). We loved this property because of its unique setting on the island - a large, grassy, beautiful location along Salt Creek - just a minute from the beach!

What makes this property unique

Our home has the unique benefit of being centrally located yet private. You'll have lots of place to park and a grassy yard to play in, in addition to a private pool and easy access to the beaches.
