Dive into a world of tranquility at this luxury beach home that features its own private pool for unparalleled relaxation. Located on the north bayfront but boasting southern views of the Gulf of Mexico, you’ll enjoy sea breezes and dining alfresco on the huge, furnished back deck overlooking the pool.

Inside, a warm, inviting living and dining area welcomes everyone to gather together to enjoy each other’s company - including the dogs! There’s seating for meals at both a dining table, as well as a breakfast bar in the well-equipped kitchen featuring gleaming stainless steel appliances and a convenient in-door icemaker. Naturally, the private gas grill is perfect for putting together tasty homemade meals. The comfy living room furniture is just the spot to settle in and catch up with cable and your favorite streaming shows. Each bedroom boasts its own TV, meaning all of your guests will have their own personalized entertainment options available.

When it’s time to explore your surroundings, make sure to take advantage of all Dauphin Island has to offer, starting with swimming, sunbathing, and collecting shells and sea glass. Beach time can be just steps from the back deck to the calming Bay waters, or take a short stroll to the public Gulf beach access where the waves are a little larger. Dauphin Island’s laid-back beach town charm exudes from the miles of paved trails for birding, biking, and running, lack of crowds, unique restaurant and shopping options, boating, jet-skiing, fishing, and even a historic site, bird sanctuary, and marine estuary to visit!

Your perfect Gulf-front oasis awaits! Whether you're frolicking in the waters of nearby beaches or the private pool, you'll always remember your time here.

The Big Chill
We had an amazing time! The property was the perfect size for our family of 7 and had everything we needed in the kitchen for several home cooked meals. The description of the property made it seem like there was a dock into the bay behind the house but there was only a small beach with both neighbors having a dock instead. My only complaint about the property was the fact that we couldn’t use the backyard or go under the house without being absolutely attacked by mosquitoes!! My 9 year old daughter walked under the house one evening to grab something and came out with about 15 bites. The mosquitoes would swarm us every time we went to get in our car or take out the dogs. Some sort of pest control or at least a few cans of bug spray for your next guests would be super beneficial!

Needs Work
The house is in need of several repairs. They have TV’s in every bedroom but only about 2 of them you can get the satellite to work. The internet is terrible. 2 of the bathrooms had sewer issues. Also the kitchen sink didn’t drain good.There was a storm while we we first got there and the yard flooded. It stayed flooded our whole 8 day stay so there was no way you could get to the water. Also it states there’s a dock to the property? Which one is the dock to the property. The ceiling fan in the living room with the light we couldn’t turn it on. There’s a problem with the heating system. Some of the rooms there was no heat. The place also had fleas. Igor the vacuum out to clean the carpet for the fleas and the vacuum cleaner was full of dog hair. The property is located far away from stores to purchase items. The only corner stores prices is extremely to high. We payed 8.00 for 4 sticks of butter. Not a place I would want to stay at again.

Last minute getaway
Fantastic property, very short walk to the beach, very clean. You will have to carry your luggage and other things up a few flights of stairs when you get there so keep that in mind if you have mobility problems. We would definitely go back!

Great Family Vacation
We love staying at the beach. This house had its own little stretch of beach on the bay and was a very short walk to a beach on the gulf. All the amenities of the house were as listed and in great shape. Really enjoyed staying here.

Excellent house for family gathering. Plenty of space for everyone. Making meals together was a breeze in the open space kitchen. Great location and our pups loved it.
