Summary:

Sun Haven



The Space:

You can't get much closer to the water than this! Sun Haven is more than ready to be your next home-away-from-home here on Dauphin Island, so pack your favorite swimsuit and make the best memories with loved ones today. Family vacations or friend getaways, it won't matter, as there are limitless ways to have fun both at home and nearby. Start each dreamy day on a relaxing note on the furnished deck with a cup of coffee or walk to the end of the dock and dip your toes in the water as the sun comes up. If you need a bit more than just a cup of coffee, hop into the full kitchen and prepare a delicious breakfast as the rest of the gang hang out at the dining table. When evenings come to a close, fire up the gas grill on the deck and reminisce wonder the pinks and purples of sunset before heading in for a movie night in the living room. Let the salty air take you away today!

Great location

Perfect location on the bay with access to the gulf as well - the best of both worlds. Loved the sunsets off the back deck, the private beach and the dock as well. We will be back!

Wonderful Stay!

We loved the house and location - very comfortable and well supplied in kitchen. We loved the dock and the beach by the bay - plus the ability to walk over to the gulf side beach as well. Best of both worlds!

Perfect house for a family relaxation trip

We wanted to try Dauphin Island for a relaxation getaway. We have heard how quiet it is and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed the back deck along with the dock the entire trip. It was well worth the trip.

My family had a great time staying at the house. We cooked several meals and never turned on the TV. We spent time together on the water. Our dog also had a blast. She finally got to go on vacation.

Fantastic dream beach house

Great bayside house

Loved the house. Very close to the beach and parking permit provided, plus a private pier and sandy beach on the bayside. Will echo prior reviews and advise to bring coffee filters, salt/pepper, a few tupperwares for leftovers and transport of food to the beach. Will be back!

Wonderful!!

We loved everything about our stay. The house is way more spacious than it appears in pictures. The large walk in showers were perfect for my MIL due to mobility issues. We loved that is was dog friendly. Our two guys had a great time. The number of towels and washcloths provided was spectacular! It’s a simple thing but most places only provide one per person so you end up washing a lot. We are already planning to book again for next year! 10/10 all the way around.
