About this property

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Zirlott

Host profile image
My husband and I were both born and raised in the Mon Louis Island community. We are both sixth generation fishing folks.
Together we own and operate a small seafood business, www.zirlottseafood.com, which is located on Fowl River next door to the River Cottage.

Why they chose this property

We love the property and purchased it in 2018 from a previous HomeAway host. We think of it as a part of our own home and hope that you will love it, too.

Ask about our delicious seafood for you to enjoy at the home.

What makes this property unique

The view of Fowl River is very attractive and peaceful. An exclusive hide away from all the hustle and bustle of traffic and noise.
A large screened area below the house is perfect for outdoor dining or playing ping pong, or just relaxing. There is also a screened upstairs porch, that is good for dining while viewing the river or reading, and just resting, etc.
The outdoor shower is currently out of order, so when returning from the beach please just use the hose in the garage to rinse off some of the sand. And if you plan to wash your beach towels and sandy swimwear, please shake out as much sand as possible, as the sand can damage the washing machine and dryer.
The spacious house is very comfortable with AC and heat.
