Relaxing and peaceful
Our stay at Fishbones was just what we had hoped for, relaxing, peaceful, and fun! The house was in a great area. We loved how pet-friendly the house was.

Wonderful
Everything was exactly as listed. We had a wonderful relaxing vacation. We were able to paddleboard from the beach on the bay side. We saw stingrays, hermit crabs and dolphins. A short walk to the ocean side. It was great that we were able to bring our two dogs. We can’t wait to visit again.

Lived Up to the Expectation
I had my in-laws visiting from Germany for a quick trip to celebrate my husband's birthday. I wanted to find a quiet spot where I could bring my dog but yet enjoy the outdoors. This house/location looked to be perfect and it was! The Germans were very impressed and said so quite often. There was an issue with the heat not working the first night but Deborah, the PM, was on it and had it fixed as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend this property and we will be coming back again. Melissa

Another wonderful stay at Fish Bones!
We love staying at Fish Bones. It’s a perfect location for families who like to fish and play in the Sound/Bay but still have easy/deeded access to the beautiful beaches and gorgeous waters of the Gulf. We love the amazing sunset views, watching dolphins frolic, flying kites, trapping blue crabs in the provided crab traps, and seeing how many hermit crabs we can find. (We release all the crabs so they’ll, perhaps, be around for the next lucky guests.) You can’t go wrong with this house, location, or fabulous host, Deborah.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Smith

Host profile image
We are nature and animal lovers and we appreciate Dauphin Island for its largely unspoiled natural setting.

Why they chose this property

Dauphin Island is not developed with hotels and high rises.
Its a beautiful and serene barrier island. Our part of the island, the West End, is more secluded and you can see both sunrise and sunset from either of our houses.
Our friends and visitors love coming here to de-stress, unwind, watch the birds and the dolphins, soak in the salt air, hear the waves, and let the pups play . Its more private and quiet than most beach destinations. This is a very dog friendly beach and well behaved pups are welcome! The bay beach here is quieter and the waves much more gentle than the Gulf beach.

What makes this property unique

Pet friendly! Must inform us ahead of time and we will add your pups information to your reservation.
Private dock for sunning, fishing. We own the house next door too so both can be available for family and friend getaways!
