Custom Beach House Steps to Beach w/ Through Lot + Panoramic Views

Welcome to Pelican’s Perch, a stunning Gulf front retreat where sweeping views, direct beach access, and spacious coastal living come together to create an unforgettable Dauphin Island getaway. Set on a rare private half acre Gulf front lot, this home offers both privacy and panoramic views, giving guests a front row seat to the beauty of the island.

Step inside to a bright, open concept living space where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together. Warm wood flooring, natural light, and coastal inspired décor create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere perfect for gathering with family and friends. The living room is designed for comfort, offering plush seating and expansive Gulf views, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day on the beach.

The kitchen is built for both everyday convenience and entertaining, featuring white cabinetry, generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, and a large island with seating. Whether you're preparing a full family dinner or quick beach snacks, this space is fully equipped to meet your needs. A wet bar with a mini fridge just off the dining area adds extra convenience for entertaining. The dining table comfortably seats 10, with additional seating for 5 at the breakfast bar.

Sleeping Arrangements (sleeps 15):
• SE King Suite – King bed, TV, private bathroom, and direct access to the Gulf front deck
• SW King Suite – King bed, TV, private bathroom, Gulf front deck access, plus a twin pull out for additional sleeping
• NE Bedroom – Two full beds, TV, and access to a bathroom
• NW Bunk Suite – Two duo bunks with twin over full beds, TV, and access to a bathroom

Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and privacy, and all bedrooms have access to a bathroom, making this home ideal for families and groups.

Pelican’s Perch truly shines outdoors with its two level Gulf front deck, designed to maximize both views and comfort. Enjoy multiple seating areas including:
• Outdoor dining table with seating for 6
• Lounge chairs for sunbathing on the upper deck
• Covered porch seating for shaded relaxation
• Gas grill for outdoor cooking

From sunrise coffee to sunset gatherings, the outdoor spaces create the perfect setting to take in the sights and sounds of the Gulf.

Step directly from the property onto the beach and enjoy the convenience of having the shoreline just steps away. This section of the island is especially desirable, with only one row of Gulf front homes, offering a quieter and more private beach experience.

Throughout the home, you’ll find a blend of coastal elegance and functional design. Soft color palettes, thoughtful décor, and well appointed bathrooms with modern fixtures and tilework create a comfortable and polished environment. The spacious layout allows guests to spread out while still feeling connected.

Located along a premier stretch of Dauphin Island, Pelican’s Perch offers easy access to everything the island has to offer. Spend your days exploring the beach just outside your door, or visit local favorites like Fort Gaines, the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and the Alabama Aquarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.

Great location. We come to Dauphin island every year and this was a great spot. Had to wait a few days to get wifi working due to a storm the previous week, but the forced disconnect was almost welcomed. We let the property manager know about a few items for the inside of the house we hope they address to make this house a 5 star. Blinds in master bedrooms were missing/broken, you really need the option of curtains if you want to sleep past 6:30. White couches in a home with families and allowed pets (we don’t bring ours), while they feel good for aesthetic were stained and felt dirty. We love the big kitchen and it had plenty of serving ware for 8 people, it was lacking on pots/pans and larger bowls for cooking for large crowds. We did let the property manager know and they rushed over with another set for us, which was great! Overall a great vacation to relax and unwind.

Beautiful place

Pelicans Perch is a beautifully decorated spacious 4 bedroom 4 bath home right on the water. There were deck chairs on the large back porch area and ample exterior lighting .Towels and extra blankets were plentiful ( some even new!)The kitchen was well equipped! The living area had two sofas and 4 chairs -plenty of seating! Areas of concern - the driveway needs to be leveled or graded -the sand was quite thick in areas and we almost got stuck! ( And this was ON the driveway!)After a night of wind and rain ,Internet was down and we could not get it running again. No children were with us and we only had one more day of vacation so we were ok. This would have needed to be addressed if we were staying longer!It would have been helpful to have a TV channel guide in the home.I would certainly recommend this vacation home and plan to stay there again!

Great spot!! A few things to note…

Overall, our family loved our experience at this rental. We had ample space inside and out, great parking, and you cannot beat the proximity to the beach. My only other feedback is that it can definitely use some home maintenance in a few areas. Cabinet area Under the kitchen sink is pretty gross and needs a good deep clean, the towels and sheets all need to be updated, the blinds in the 2nd master are all broken and don’t work at all. We had no privacy from people on the porch or beach walkers at night. All of the The sliding door tracks need a good cleaning. They are pretty dirty. Again, these things did not affect our experience too much. However, I wouldn’t rent it again until these things are tended to.

Thanks for great vacation at the beach! The house was beautiful, the weather was perfect and the ocean was awesome! My new "happy place" is on the deck in the rocking chair looking at the ocean! Despite the virus restrictions we all relaxed and got rid of a lot of stress just hanging out at the beach. Would certainly rent it again-The Allman Clan

Amazing House with Great Location

The house was very clean and organized. We loved the spacious great room that opened out onto the large deck with table and chairs for dining as well as lounge chairs for relaxing. The location of the house right on the beach was the best part to watch the ocean as well as the sunrise and sunset each day.

Amazing experience at the nicest beach house in the island!

This place is beyond the pictures! It was immaculate and felt brand new! The design and layout is perfect, especially if you are splitting the house with another family and have little children. It was like a dream! We would love to go back and stay here again, this place has everything! The kitchen was perfect for preparing wonderful dinners and was easy to keep clean with all of the storage. You will not be disappointed! The weather was bad in the last day so some of the deck furniture got torn up and the power went out for a while but that was due to weather not the house. Overall, we would love to stay here again! Beautiful place!
