About this property

Spectacular Gulf-front home with covered porch & views - on the beach

Summary:

Sweet Home Alabama - Dauphin Island



The Space:

Experience the Gulf of Mexico as you've never seen it before at this beachfront Dauphin Island home! Offering panoramic views of white sand and Gulf waves that stretch for miles, this beautiful home features spacious, covered porches on the upper, lower levels and a sun deck. With 1,600 square feet of living space, and beach access mere steps away. The well-equipped kitchen offers a full suite of stainless steel appliances, and there's plenty of room for everyone at mealtime around the large dining table. If the weather is nice - and it probably is - dine alfresco on any of three picnic tables. After a day on the sand, enjoy entertainment options at home with two 65" Smart TVs including free cable and WiFi. More vacation necessities include central AC, a washer/dryer, and gas grill.



This Gulf-front home is a haven for beach-goers, cyclists, anglers, and birders. You can take a boat out to the 132-foot Sand Island Lighthouse, which sits roughly three miles south of the Mobile Bay entrance. The fascinating marine exhibits at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab at The Estuarium are six miles east, as are the wonderfully preserved Fort Gaines and the Dauphin Island Audubon Bird Sanctuary. Cyclists will also delight in miles of paved biking paths on the island - you can even bike to the ferry and ride over to Fort Morgan for a perfect day trip.

Great beachfront stay!

We loved our trip to Dauphin Island and our stay here. We were beachfront, steps away from the water. The house was perfect! I love that the beaches are much less crowded here.

Great place

This home was accurately represented in picture and description. And Dauphin Island is a great place for a more low key beach vacation. It was so nice to walk out from the house to the shore, and to not be shoulder to shoulder with other vacationers.

Great home!

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was perfect for our family. Having beach toys and chairs available was so nice. The grill wouldn’t light for us, but other than that, everything was great.

Return to Dauphin Island

Fantastic location for a family trip to one of our favorite paces! Right on the beach and the decks in each floor were a really nice feature. Lots of room and a good layout for a family or large group of friends. Will rent again.

Wonderful property. Just loved it. It may benefit others to know the lock box is up stairs by the door and not the one down stairs on the pillar.
