Great Location!!

Great value for the location. We had an unobstructed view of beach and clear path which took less than 5 minutes to walk. The houses around us which were considered beachfront were honestly not much closer to the beach than us. We’ve been coming to DI for about 10 years and this was by far the most well stocked and cleanest place we’ve stayed. The kitchen wasn’t overwhelmingly stocked, which made it easier to use. We had an issue with the ac unit not keeping up one day and called the office. A repairman showed up in about 10 minutes to check things out. I would definitely rent again and recommend this house. It was perfect for a small family. We had 3 adults and 1 child.

Great Stay!

We had a great stay from start to finish in this great beach house. The communication from the owners was nice. They gave us simple instructions to pickup the keys and find the property. The add was accurate. It had all the amenities as stated in the listing. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The view and access to the beach was amazing! All the pans and cooking utensils you could need were available. All the switches were nicely labeled. The outdoor deck furniture was super nice! The deck was either new or very well maintained. There was construction next door, but they didn't really bother us. It looked like that house was getting close to finished. Our family had a wonderful week here, and I would highly recommend it to others, family and friends. The next time we come to Dauphin hopefully this place is available again.

Neighbors are Close

Overall cute, comfortable little house, but… There is another home being constructed VERY close to the house which wasn’t in the photos or mentioned in the property description. This construction was in addition to another existing home which is also very close to the deck, but is shown in photos, so no surprise there. Sofas in the living room could be more comfortable, but are fine after a good tiring day on the beach. For the nightly rate and proximity to the shore, would recommend, as long as close neighbors aren’t a big deal.

Wonderful time!!!

Great house! Great views! Walked off the deck right to the beach.......just the right size for 2 couples......The house was probably the BEST stocked home we have booked as far as all your "necessities". I love to cook, rather than eat out and everything I needed was there!!! Loved it and would definitely book again!!

Great little house on the beach

Cozy cottage vibe with excellent beach access and view. Well organized kitchen. Comfortable master bedroom. The house has a nice updated porch and great patio furniture too. There are few little updates needed but you can see the owners are working on property improvements. Updated microwave and dishwasher. The bedding and linens are very nice quality. We really felt like this is a homey and comfortable place. The beach was perfect!

Why they chose this property

Dauphin Island, a wonder of nature and full of history is a barrier island on the Gulf . The population is about 1,300. The town is included in the Mobile metropolitan statistical area. The island was named for Louis XIV's great-grandson and heir, the Dauphin. Our 'laid-back' atmosphere is prized by folks who enjoy serenity and natural beauty.

The eastern, wider portion of the island, is shaded by thick stands of maritime pine trees, but the narrow, western part of the island features scrub growth and few trees.

Dauphin Island is home to Fort Gaines, Dauphin Island Sea Lab, The Estuarium public aquarium, the Dauphin Island Airport, boat ramps, a fishing pier located on the Island's eastern end, historic sites, several restaurants. Beaches attract tourism, and fishing is a popular activity in the waters around the island. The island is connected to the mainland by a 3.5 mile long bridge.

Although the entire island is a bird sanctuary, the main one is the 164-acre Audubon Bird Sanctuary. Dauphin Island is the first landfall encountered by many birds as they migrate north from Central and South America, and as a consequence many species can be found resting there before continuing their journey.

In 1519, the Spanish explorer Alonso Álvarez de Pineda was the first documented European to visit, staying long enough to map the island with remarkable accuracy.

The island's French history began on January 31, 1699, when the explorer Pierre Le Moyne, sieur d'Iberville, D'Iberville later decided to locate a port for Fort Louis de La Louisiane (Mobile). Fort Gaines on the eastern tip of the island was built between 1821 and 1848. It was occupied by Confederate forces in 1861, and captured by Federal troops during the Battle of Mobile Bay. The phrase, 'Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead,' was spoken by U. S. Admiral David Farragut just a few hundred yards from Dauphin Island's shore.

We love 'The Island' as much as we know you will!
