About this property
Bayfront home with wraparound deck & great water views - dog-friendly
Summary:
Set Sail
The Space:
Have your own beach on the bay, great views, and access to the Mississippi Sound at Set Sail! This bayfront home offers lovely rooms with sliding glass doors that open to the wraparound deck.
Step into Set Sail with its high ceilings, open floor plan, and tons of windows drenching the house with the Island's natural light! Admire incredible views of the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and the gentle waters of the Mississippi Sound (Bay) to the north. The great room offers two separate living areas with the kitchen and dining area in the middle. On the Gulf side, gather around the comfy sitting area and fireplace. On the Sound (Bay) side, you'll find ample sofas, board games, and a Vizio Smart TV with DirecTV, a DVD player, and a stereo. The functional kitchen offers plenty of prep area for the cook, a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with an icemaker and water dispenser, a dishwasher, a microwave, a range/oven, a coffee maker and all dishes, glasses, pots/pans, and silverware.
Four bedrooms flank the home. On the southeast, the Gulf-side bedroom offers a set of bunk beds and a sleeper sofa, with a DVD player/monitor for movie watching - perfect for the kids. The northeast Sound-side bedroom is furnished with a king bed and extra seating. The other two west-side bedrooms are also furnished with king beds and DirecTV. Between the bedrooms, guests will find bathrooms with separate single vanities. One of these bathrooms has a bathtub, and both have a shower. In addition, there is a guest half-bathroom with a toilet and vanity. Each of the four bedrooms has its own French doors that open on to the wraparound deck. You also have a utility closet with the washer/dryer, vacuum, broom, and iron/ironing board.
Enjoy the covered wraparound deck with views from every angle. There is a boardwalk to your own private, shade pavilion with hammocks and a picnic table. You can fish and swim right there in your own 'backyard.' Underneath Set Sail, you will find an additional outdoor living area with a shower, conversation seating area, gas grill, an additional picnic table, and a romantic swing overlooking the Sound (Bay) waters.
Linens and bath towels are provided, but you will need to bring your own beach towels. HVAC with ceiling fans are inside and out. Set Sail is graciously stocked with books, games, DVD movies, and music CDs. Parking for four cars is available under the house.
If you want to bring your four-legged family members along, Set Sail is a dog-friendly property. All pets must be reported at the time your reservation is made. The Town of Dauphin Island leash law requires dogs to be on leash and properly secured when outdoors and also requires that dog waste in rental property yards, beaches, and public areas be picked up and properly disposed of.

This comfortable home gave us a great relaxing vacation for two families who came together. We had plenty of space and we’re able to relax and cook together and enjoy a beautiful home right on the water.
The beach house was great, the location of the gulf in front of house, and the bay in the back of house was very relaxing. We would definitely stay again at Set Sail!
We really enjoyed our stay and the area, you also get a couple parking passes to park and enjoy the ocean side beaches on a few roads. House was perfect and as advertised.
Beautiful, spacious, clean house. Loved the gazebo in the back.

Thank you! Great beach vacation!
We had a great stay! House was perfect for two families with everything you could need. Beach was beautiful and we saw dolphins just feet from shore every day! Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you!
The house is wonderful. Enjoyed the views on the bay side. Beautiful sunsets every day. The house is well equipped and an easy location to get to. Enjoyed several local restaurants. Definitely want to come back.
Great house to stay in! We have 7 adults and 1 baby and with the toys and Gazebo near water it was perfect! There were a lot more amenities than we expected. The place had a great open floorplan for entertaining at night when we were not on the beach. We had a wonderful time and plan on coming back!
This is an amazing property. We had plenty of room for everyone. There are kayaks and boogie boards on the property for your personal use. Everything was fantastic! We will definitely stay again.
The home was better than expected and fit our family of nine easily. We found everything we needed, from games to play to hammocks at the gazebo on the shore! The community is very friendly with many family oriented activities all over the island. If you need a family vacation, look no further...we will be returning for years to come!
We had a wonderful time at Set Sail for a long weekend getaway with friends. The house set up perfectly for 3 couples and a handful of kids. We enjoyed the bayside beach and all the island has to offer from walking the trails at the Audubon bird sanctuary, aquarium, Sunday brunch at Pirates, bushwackers on the beach, etc. etc. We will definitely be back again!

We had family between 4-76 yr old and 1 was wonderful time for all!
My family and I enjoyed our entire time on this trip. The house was in the most perfect location surrounded by a heaven of ambiance. We enjoyed the Sandy beach and all the house’s amenities. We did not have to leave the house for anything. We will be planning another trip soon.
We loved the property and our stay up until Hurricane Sally forced our evacuation. Property management was more than helpful in keeping us informed and helping us with our stay.
Everything was smooth sailing. I loved paying on line and getting the door lock combination. We enjoyed the beach gazebo so much. There was plenty of towels, pillows and throws to cover with.

This was our third visit to Set Sail. Had a great time. House is perfect for the kids and grandkids.
Set Sail was exactly what we were hoping for! The location was ideal for us - quiet but “just down the street” from anything we needed. We especially loved using the kayaks, the gazebo hammocks, and just enjoying the views from the wrap-around deck. (FYI - there are latching gates on both staircases for those who may have little ones or pets.) The kids are all asking when we can come back!
The home was spotless and had a very well stocked kitchen. I always travel with pots and pans that I use and it was unnecessary here. The wooden run to the gazebo made it very convenient for transporting ice chests, beach items, etc.. The beach was perfect, nearly private. My family will return to this home in the future!
