The host was fantastic and very responsive to all of our requests, and check-in was seamless. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the house was spotless. The sunrise and sunset views were absolutely breathtaking. Although it was a bit cool in January, we still enjoyed daily walks along the beach. We were lucky enough to see dolphins every morning, some swimming remarkably close to the shoreline. Overall, it was a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of heavily commercialized living.
Great locations, easy check and communication. Beach chairs and toys were a plus. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had a good stock for cooking. Would stay here again.
I stayed here last year and again this year, I just love the house and the privacy you have right on the beach, the house is set up where you won’t need anything it’s all there.easy to enter the house you don’t have to check into any office.cant wait until next year.thank you
This is our 4th time on the island. Property was beautiful and conveniently located. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. We had a wonderful stay!
This is a great property, right on the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our own meals. There was a coffee maker but we never found any coffee of K cups to use. It would have been nice to know to bring our own, but it was no big deal. We can not wait to come back.
Location was convenient to the beach. House was recently renovated. Still a few areas for improvement, but over all it was in good shape. Could have been a little cleaner, but given it is a dog-friendly beach house it was satisfactory. Dauphin Island is a good location if you want away from the crowds and commercialization.
Great stay. Clean, up to date home. Great views and very close to beach so easy walk out to the beach each day. Well stocked kitchen. Very nice to have six beach chairs and so many beach toys for the kids.
Great place to stay at Dauphin Island. House was clean and exceeded our needs. Mrs. West was kind and checked in to make sure everything was fine upon our arrival. Steps from the beach with dolphin views from the kitchen window. We plan to stay here again.
The property was fabulous! Very well-appointed kitchen and home with a beautiful interior, lots of windows and doors for sunshine, hearing the ocean and feeling the breeze. Great proximity to the ocean and beach. Quiet neighbors. Great location for waking or biking to the West End beach.
Our family had a wonderful time here. So quiet and peaceful. The location was beautiful. The owner communicated quickly and answered our questions quickly. This place is absolutely amazing. We cooked every meal here and the kitchen was fully stocked and made it a joy to cook. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay again!!
Our stay here was wonderful! The house was as listed and had wonderful ocean views. Literally steps from the ocean. Plenty of kitchen appliances, toiletries, blankets, etc.This was perfect for us and our kids. We will definitely be back to this location!
Our favorite house on the island so far. This was our 4th trip. Kitchen is well stocked and everything was perfect. Had an AC problem the 2nd day but it was fixed within 2 hours of contacting the homeowner. Excellent hosts!!
Everything about this house is comfortable and inviting! We loved the wrap around deck and enjoyed all sides as well as the variety of patio furniture! The view is a little obstructed but it’s only a few steps to the water so we did not mind at all! This place is perfect and can’t wait to go back!

Thanks so much, Becky! We hope to wrap the deck around further in the near future to make those views more direct :) Would love to have you back!
About the host
Hosted by Kristen West
We are a fun loving family of 5. My husband (C.O.) and I (Kristen) are the proud parents of three girls. We live in Missouri and are excited to get to spend time in Dauphin Island at our home away from home and to share this home with others. We enjoy all of the activities that the Island has to offer and feel blessed knowing our girls will grow up in such a great environment on the Island making priceless memories. Dream Big LLC purchased this house in 2017
Why they chose this property
This property is very special to us. My husband visited Dauphin Island when he was 16 and his family took a detour on their memorable trip to the Olympics in 1996. He knew then that he wanted to return to Dauphin Island and dreamed of owning a home there someday to share with his family. We think that you will find the house is uniquely situated on the Gulf with views of all the Island has to offer from the sunrise in the east, the Gulf to the south, the Sound to the North and the sunsets to the West.
What makes this property unique
Island Lure is located midway down the West End of the island and sits directly on the gulf side beach. It is a very short drive or bike ride to the far West End of the Island, which has lifeguards and various other attractions/vendors during the summer months. Additionally, it is only a short drive from the local grocery store, shops, restaurants, golf course, Estuarium and Fort Gaines on the East End of the Island. The house offers a wide variety of outdoor space to hang out and relax from a full sun porch on the south side of the house to the shade on the west side porch and all underneath the house. There are dual staircases allowing access to the beach from either side of the home. It has been professionally decorated to provide a laid back atmosphere for your stay so that you can rest, relax and recharge before heading back to reality.
