The front porch offers a cool place to relax and look for dolphin swimming by.
A great place to be with a view of the Gulf & beach access across the street.
Chillin' out on the front porch. There's a picnic table-east end of porch.
The Gulf of Mexico is where the action is. Swimming, fishing and relaxing.
Plenty of seating for everyone. Notice the DR located beyond the LR.

This Creole Cottage home with spacious 10 ft. ceilings has many amenities such as a private boat dock/canal access to Mississippi Sound, with launches located nearby and a dream kitchen. Parking is available under the house for convenient out-of-the-weather access to the house. There are great views from the front and back porches of the surroundings such as beach activities, birds, dolphins, island dwellers, a bike trail, intercoastal waterway traffic in Mississippi Sound and just plain old Island life. This house has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and sleeps 8. Convenient travel to the Casinos in nearby Biloxi and Gulfport, MS. Beautiful Bellingrath Gardens is nearby and it's only 35 minutes to Mobile, AL for shopping, movies, and the Mobile airport is within a one hour drive. Alabama Aquarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab & Historic Fort Gaines are points of interest on the island. Mobile Bay Ferry crosses Bay to Fort Morgan which you can drive on with your car, walk on or bicycle (see https://mobilebayferry.com for rates and schedule).

It felt like home.

We loved our stay! Even though we were across the street from the beach, it was a very short walk. There was lots of covered parking underneath the house as well as a driveway in front of the house.

Endless Summer

Had a great time. The property is in an excellent location, across the street from the beach. The ocean is visible from the deck and we spent a lot of time there as the weather was not ideal. House and furnishings are “well loved” but very clean and comfortable. I hope we can come back someday!

Endless Summer is the perfect laid back home

Beautifully situated in the middle of the West End, close to everything. Large home with everything you could possibly need for your stay, including extra pillows, blankets, books, and some games. Plenty of stuff in the kitchen and laundry room - and there’s even a second fridge. The AC is a little old, but if you baby it and keep the fans running, the house stays plenty cool so not sure what the other reviews mentioning poor AC were talking about. I like the house cold - in the 60s and slept just fine at 74 with the fans on in this home. Views of all 3 waterways here! The hosts are sweet people and we certainly hope we can come back one day! Thank you Buddy and Angie!

Overall good stay

The good: location, size of home, love the open kitchen/living/dining, porches are great. The bad: air conditioner struggled at times and it was pretty mild for May, ceiling fan in kitchen and master sink area don't work, lots of light switches but some don't work for anything.Will stay here again, but could use a new coat of paint especially in bathrooms and a deep cleaning. Salty water and air is soooo hard on these homes, so we get it!

My Favorite Spot

This was my third time staying here, and it's become my favorite vacation spot. It's the perfect size for our family of 8, and we love the open floorplan. It's also super convenient to the beach--just a very short walk across the street. We will keep coming back!
