Pet-Friendly Gulf Front Escape nestled in the Dunes
Funky Beachside Bungalow on the Gulf | 4BR | Pet-Friendly | Game Room | Sunset Deck Views
Welcome to your happy place on the Gulf—our colorful, laid-back beach bungalow sits right on the Gulf, nestled in natural sand dunes at the end of a quiet street. It’s the kind of spot where you can wake up and walk barefoot to the beach, sip coffee while spotting dolphins from the back deck, or swing in a hammock under the house with a good book and the salty air. Rest care free knowing the pups and kids are safe on the fenced in 1/2 acre lot.
Step inside and you’ll find a spacious, open floor plan with a bright and breezy vibe. The main living, kitchen, and dining areas flow together, making it easy to hang out, cook meals, or plan the next beach adventure as a group. The kitchen is equipped with most everything you could need, the living room is comfy, and the funky beach-inspired decor keeps things fun and relaxed.
There are 4 bedrooms, including a large primary suite with its own en suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub and a private entrance to the deck—perfect for sneaking out to catch the sunrise or stargaze in peace. The split floor plan gives everyone a little extra space and privacy. There are 3 full bathrooms and 1 half bath, so no one’s waiting in line after sandy beach days.
For even more chill time, the house includes a huge game room with two futon couches—ideal for movie nights, rainy-day games, or extra sleeping space.
Out back, the deck opens right up to the dunes and the Gulf view—the perfect hangout for morning coffee, sunset wine, or just watching the tide roll in. Bring your pets, too! The private fenced yard is safe and secure, so your furry friends can enjoy the beach life right along with you.

Thank you so much, Mitzi. We love having y’all out there and we love when everyone gets to bring the whole family! People just don’t realize how much they need to see their puppies at the beach ha ha ha! We hope to have y’all back in the future you know how to reach us!
Wonderful beach getaway nestled in the dunes. Steps from the beach and views you can enjoy from morning to night. Lovely!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're especially thrilled to have welcomed fellow New Orleanians to our little slice of paradise on Dauphin Island. It makes us so happy to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful dune setting and those beautiful views from sunrise to sunset. And of course, we absolutely loved that your four-legged friends got to join in on the beach fun over the Fourth of July weekend! We hope to welcome you all back again soon.
This house sits on the nicest piece of property on the island. No neighbors on one side instead a beautiful nature reserve, which also means less people on your portion of the beach. Short and pretty walk thru the dunes to the ocean. The house was comfy, clean with an open floor plan for visiting and eating. We loved the deck that faced the ocean. Our family especially loved bringing our dogs to the beach, the 1/2 acre fenced yard and semi private beach made this vacation a week of a lifetime for our chocolate labs. Host was super responsive to any questions or needs.

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry we’re only responding back to you now! It was such a joy to have y’all and your two chocolate fur babies over the holiday weekend!
We had a wonderful stay. It was very quiet and relaxing. We loved the locked gate and fenced in yard for our dogs. The house was extremely dog friendly and I believe they enjoyed it as much as we did. We had so much fun playing ping pong in the game room on rainy days!! We found most every kitchen need was met for our meals. There were many places to wash off when you walk in from the beach which helped out a lot. The house was very spacious and layed out nicely. The owner was great to work with and attentive to any need! He also gave us lots of recommendations on the island for food and buying groceries. The cinnamon rolls at the bakery were amazing just as he described! We would definitely rent here again if we travel back to the area.

It was our absolute pleasure! The yard for all the pups is wonderful! It’s even helpful for kiddos too lol
We were all favorably impressed with this property. The location was a short direct walk to the beach. The beds were comfortable and the rooms spotless. The kitchen was well equipped. The air conditioning was set 72 -74 degrees and maintained an even coolness throughout the house. I loved the tropical art (parrots and tropical flowers) and bright pops of color throughout the house. The back porch (deck) that ran across the front of the house was my favorite place to drink coffee and watch the sunrise. We have traveled for the last 30 years with our dog(s), but have none currently. The fenced yard here is perfect for dogs.
