River House minutes to Dauphin Island

Short drive to Dauphin Island on the Gulf of Mexico. Come rest yourself with family in this lovely waterfront home. Secluded, private property with acreage for children to play and explore nature. Comfortable furnishings, screened porches to feel the soft breezes. Relaxing and peaceful. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A large screened area for relaxing, barbecuing, or playing ping pong. You can fish from the dock, or sunbathe while viewing the river. We have one kayak for your use while staying. And yes, there are alligators in the river. While they are rarely seen, the gators are there and usually as afraid of humans and we are of them.
While staying in this lovely home surrounded by lots of trees and water, there will be squirrels, deer, raccoons, birds, frogs and verbal insects (cicadas) to notice during your tranquil time here.
Dauphin Island is about 15 minutes away. You can also visit the Historic Fort Gaines, the Sea Lab and Estuarium (with some hands on attractions that will fascinate the kids). Lots of restaurants, and the freshest seafood is right next door.
The historical Bellingrath Gardens (10 minute drive) with its beautiful blooms all year is a sight to see. Takes about 30 minutes to get to Mobile with all the attractions there.

Please review the house rules prior to booking. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at 251-207-8018.
We'd love to have you visit.

Outdoor bounty
The place was clean, spacious and comfortable. We docked our boat on the new pier, caught crabs in the provided traps, foraged for 4 varieties of gourmet mushrooms on the property and had an over all fantastic trip. Gorgeous views and easy access to the bays and great fishing. And our host was fast to reply and gracious with any request we had. Could not be happier.

Perfect off-island spot for Dauphin trip
The house was very clean and provided everything we needed for a weeks stay. The location was perfect - less expensive than staying right on Dauphin Island but about as close as you can get with a Dollar General right down the road for last minute needs. The ping pong table was an added bonus for the kids. Would definitely stay here again! Very private.

AMAZING
We loved everything about our stay! From fishing off the dock, swinging in the swing, relaxing in the home, to sitting on the balcony watching it rain. It was nothing short of perfect! Such a peaceful atmosphere, we will definitely be visiting again!!

I loved being able to watch the sunsets on the back screened in porch, and the sunrises on the front porch with a cup of coffee. The property is beautiful and so is the house. Definitely a great place to unwind and disconnect. And only being 10 to 15 mins away from the island, theres so much to do. My family had a great stay, and are already looking to book again.

Home away from home/quiet retreat

Lovely place
The house is amazing. Location was perfect. We didn't want to be in a crowded spot. It was 15 minutes to the beach. Make sure to walk to the doc at night my kids caught a ton of baby crabs.

LOVED this home and the location!
Such a beautiful home and property. We loved this home and the peaceful location. The covered porch areas were so enjoyable and the kids had fun on the swing, playing ping pong and fishing down at the pier. Evening sunsets were so beautiful! We enjoyed the quick easy access to beach areas on Dauphin Island. Property owners were also wonderful to work with. We hope to bring the family back soon!
